Background:

Blackberry user and then 3 (?) years ago:

Motorola Droid Pro (full keyboard not slide out) - out of production but can still get elsewhere.

Its slowwwwwinnnnggggg down. 3G + apps are getting bulkier and everything is slowwwwing down.

As someone said elsewhere - click on an icon (i.e. Waze) and depending on 3G / GPS connectivity: WAIT.

Its starting to get seriously an issue (was in New York last week Wednesday - Tuesday) and could really feel the slowness when in the city.

Options:

1. Used my co-workers touchscreen Android something and wow - just took forever to text and email.

2. Doesn't leave me with many QWERTY options: Q10???

I might try to survive the slowness for awhile but I know that sooner or later a touchscreen will be only option left.
