I need to upgrade my phone so am thinking of either an Android or Blackberry. I want to make sure the MFP app works very well. What has been your experience with the app on the two types of phones. Really want to use the app to keep on track when I am on the go.
thanks
Nancy

    What else do you need the phone to do? In other words, what functions do you need on your new phone?

    I have an Android and the app works very well for me. Sometimes it doesn't automatically synch but that's easy - I just synch it manually, no biggie.

    I have the Droid 2 and the MFP app works great. I never had it when I had my blackberry as the MFP app wasnt available then so I cant compare the 2 for you.

    iphone! I don't use the iphone app for MfP, I much prefer using the web based version on a desk based computer or lap top :-)

    If I had to pick between android or blackberry, I'd say android :-)

    I have a Droid X, and I love it. The MFP app works great, and the scanner is awesome! The keyboard on my BB was much easier to use for me then the touch screen on my Droid, but I'm sure that's because I got used to it. I've been using the swpe system on the Droid and am getting faster. I can't compare the MFP app between the two, as I never had it with the BB. The apps available for the Droid are unbelievable. Wait until you find "angry birds." ") My husband and my 3 y.o. are both addicted to it.

    Definetely Android. My friend has a Blackberry and wants a new phone so it will work better with MFP. I love my Android. :)

    I have the droid.....I love the app for the droid, its my best friend! Blackberry v.s. Droid, I have been told the blackberry over all can be complicated to use. Most of my friends ad business collegues, all have the droid. My suggestion is to go somewhere where you can compare phone to phone, look at features available, size and feel of phone. That should help you decide~Take Care

    I have a blackberry...and I love it, but not for this site. My hubby has the droid and it is much better to use. He has a app that he can scan the label of boxes....so much easier then typing & searching on the phone!

    No bar code scanner would be a deal breaker for me. I use MFP on my Atrix (Android) with no problems. Love the bar code scanner - so far I have had only one item that did not scan properly. I want to eat things just so I can scan them - so cool!

    This is me! I have a BB and yes I'm thankful for the app but I've seen my friend's droids and how much more they can do as far as any app goes. I can't wait till my upgrade comes up!!!!!

    I have it on android and it works perfectly. Never had a BB so can't compare the two.
