Going Android: An Experiment

I’ve logged plenty of hours on Android phones, starting with the very first one, the remarkably rudimentary G1, back in 2008. But the phones in question have always been backups to my main handset (which, since mid-2008, has always been an AT&T iPhone). Or they’ve been Android phones I was reviewing or otherwise experimenting with.

What I’ve never done is just use an Android model as the phone I rely on all day long to get actual stuff done.
