Apple iPhone 4

I have an iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless. I’ve had it since February 2011. It replaced an iPhone 3G that I had for two years.

Apple iPad 2

I have an iPad 2! Outside of the jailbreak apps, everything is the same as the iPhone.

Motorola Droid

My work phone is a Motorola Droid on Verizon Wireless. I’ve had the phone since April 2010 and it’s valid for an upgrade every year.

I’ll probably stay with this phone until something amazing is released for VZW.

I’ve bought no apps in the Android market. I’ve rooted the device and my ROM of choice is Peter Alfonso’s Bugless Beast.
