This is one of the best phones released for verizon network. The touchscreen is amazingly accurate especially coming from the voyager which touchscreen sucks in accuracy. So they really improved it when making this phone. Multi-tasking music player is also a plus when your on those bored days with nothing to do besides texting. Some things that need to be worked on are some of the glitches that the phone produces such as the phone restarting when doing something such as scrolling through text messages on the phone but you can fix this by resetting the phone which I found out on LG-Darecom. http://www.cdmacellulars.com

I'm glad you didn't pull any punches…seems like a reasonable review of the Droid is hard to locate.

My brother and I have done some limited apps for the iPhone (Park East, Inc. ... shameless plug). I do all the coding, and at this point the Droid is starting to get my interest. Mainly the idea of being able to market apps without the TEDIOUS review process is very appealing, as well as the background app process.

The biggest concern I have is not being as "fluid" as Walt says. This is what I am going to start calling "lag drag," meaning the way the dragging seems to just be jumpier and not as slick as the iPhone.

Of course there is also the issue of whether I want to have a Verizon and AT&T contract simultaneously. :) A co-worker is getting a Droid soon, so I may be seriously considering it before long!

@Dave
You talk about 11 screens like that is a good way to organize your apps. What on earth could that be good for? The animation going between screens is pretty sweet but once you get over that its pretty useless.

Android has one alphabetical list of all its apps in one place. You choose which ones go on your desktops, and you can put containers (folders) of apps on your desktop as well. The 3 desktop limitation was not put in place because you can't fit more than that many apps. It is there to keep people from having 11 unmanageable pages of apps.

And the argument of only allowing apps in the small memory is another bad one. Apps themselves are tiny, 256MB is enough to fit plenty of apps. If an app needs to store any *DATA* it is perfectly capable of storing it on the SD card the same way a desktop computer would store data on your hard drive.
