More Thoughts on Android

I took a trip up to Vermont this weekend. While Sprint coverage has not been as good as AT&T in Massachusetts, I had coverage for the whole trip up 89 through Vermont with my new Sprint Android phone while my AT&T iPhone had nothing.

Every phone I had prior to the iPhone needed to be rebooted by swapping out the battery now and then. Since the iPhone is hermetically sealed, it's a good thing that I never had to do that. But Android is definitely flakier as an OS. I'm not sure if there were multiple transitions between coverage areas, or if the Republic Wireless changes are causing issues, but I had to pop the battery out of the RW phone a couple times during the trip. The RW phone has been pretty stable until then, which is why I think it was caused by coverage or something external.
