It's still criminal with the amount they get away with when charging for data/messaging. $20 for text messaging (unlimited) is [censored]ing highway robbery.

Reserved one of these at Best Buy. Just had to buy a 50 dollar giftcard and they're only charging $199.

This won't be the first time I've used a Motorola. I've used the Razr and Krazr... Loved the Razr. Hated the Krazr. Last edited by Buckeye89Fan; 10-31-2009 at 03:48 PM.

None. Gotta have a bigger screen for that.  I do have my entire CD collection plus all three seasons of Arrested Development on it though.

6 page review, high marks from phonearena.com, but this may be the most promising aspect for VZW customers like myself: Quote:

Got my Droid today, so far, nice phone, the Wifi is nice for stuff around the house, the phone itself is really fast and pretty easy to navigate. I have never used an iphone or ipod touch so for me it's a pretty new experience to have a touch screen phone that's actually comfortable and easy to use.

Plan to try it out in the next week. How do you like the multi-touch support in 3rd party apps? Hopefully that is supported by standard apps in a future version of the OS.

I saw a YouTube video of a movie being played on the Droid; it looked great. The screen resolution is very clear.

I am sure next week I will get more chances to see how long it lasts, this weekend i'll be watching football and other crap like that. Quote:
On one other note, the application loading and response is faster than any phone I have ever seen, your response is almost instant, you'll notice the lack of splash screens in a lot of common apps that's due to the fact that the phone doesn't need to spend forever loading in the background, it's a pretty [censored]ing powerful little device.

Great phone. Absolutely is a game changer. It doesn't kill the iPhone, but it definitely competes well.
Faster, snappier gui, seems to load things faster than the iPhone. Slide out keyboard is nice. Wish the keyboard was the whole width. Flat keys help make the phone very slim, but make it hard to feel what you're hitting. Definitely harder to type on it than a blackberry with raised edges on their keys. Not thrilled with the look of the phone. The edges/lines feel clunky. Excellent phone construction, solid strong slideout construction. Not flimsy at all. Screen is incredible. At least equal to the iphones imo. Gmail app is a huge plus for me. Robust, free app. Google app integration will be a big plus. With apple blackballing google apps, the android phones have a real opportunity to carve out a niche here. I was up for upgrade last spring. I was holding out to see if an iPhone came to big red, but this is awfully tempting. I think i'll wait till spring, get a feel for how the android software and apps develop, and see what new phones - iPhone or android - is coming down the pike. For me, this doesn't kill my major interest in the iPhone, but it finally provides a worthy adversary. Until now we had cheap ripoffs or completely different phones (blackberry) This is an outstanding debut model for Verizon. I know this is second generation android since tmobile had it before, but this line is very exciting.
