Incorrect, google doesnt push updates to phone, the manufacture does. The manufacturer is Samsung, and they are TERRIBLE with updates, ask anyone.
Just get a feature phone, it will save you hassle and time being you plan on using it for its intended purposes and nothing else really. Dont listen to all the hype, most of the time you will be let down. Go with something you like and that fits your lifestyle and what you plan on using the device for.
Well it doesn't look like the Droid 4 is coming out anytime soon (Feb. 2?), but like I said, between the poor battery life of these 4G phones maybe I should look for something else. I usually buy Motorola, great quality products and after looking at a lot of different Samsung's I'm not impressed to say the least. I've spent hours reviewing threads and posts on this site and in my ignorance of rooting and roms and the amount of problems out there with Android, I'm totally confused. Should I still consider the Droid 3 or is the LG Enlighten a viable choice with my meager smartphone needs?

I personally use the stock blur txting on the D3, but its possible that if you use a 3rd Party app (ie: handcent, go sms) that they may have an option to enlarge the font. I'll download them tomorrow and see if they have that option. Not 100% sure atm.

Yes, this is true, I use "Handcent SMS" as my primary TXT APP, it is a very customizable app, the text size can be set to be very large

Nope you can not increase the texting font size (unless you root - and that ridiculous "Zoom Mode" basically sucks). After searching the internet I must have came across several hundred posts over the past several years, complaining that you can't change the font size in Android, so all of us who are over forty we're SOL (sucks to be old)!
I think you can, even without root. You need to be in the conversation screen, then hit menu and resize text.
Yup just tried that, I can confirm you can inscrease text size in stock blur messaging. You just have to be in the conversation screen. Good catch John
