Android's Dungeon

Like the title? It's also the name of the Comic Book Guy's store in The Simpsons TV Show.

Have you found any New Phone features that compel you to upgrade? If you have they are probably on the iPhone or Android Platform. I am a new user on the Android Platform with a T-Mobile G2 Smartphone. I like the flexibility to add as many applications to the phone as I need to, and this makes sense when you plan to own one of these phone for two years or more.

If you lose one of these phones, you may be really sorry. I use a service called stuffbak since many finders are reluctant to snoop through address books or dial from a stored phone log. Additionally, if the phone has been locked/wiped, or if the battery has died, the external physical label is the only remaining link for a finder. Smartphone replacement costs run $200 - $500 (phones are 'free' or subsidized only with new contract commitments), and handset insurance is expensive.
