Anyone have the droid?

DH and I are due for new phones (I am way, way, way over due!) and we are looking into the droid - we have verizon.

I am wary because it is so new - the last time I bought the "new" phone, I got stuck with  my awful Q that has been broken since I got it three years ago.

Any reviews on the droid?

Re: Anyone have the droid?

  • My DH got it the day it came out. He's a super techy- IT guy, so he definitely knows his tech gear/gadgets. He spent the month before the phone was released practically drooling over every photo and every article. He loves it. I have played around with it a little, but I know he is very happy with it. I also know he researched it a lot and compared it to the other (analog) phones being released.

    The typing key pad is much easier than other blackberries or phones I've played with. The screen is very similar to the iphone (except for one of the finger movements that apple threatened to sue over if they copied). 

    But so far, he loves it. if you have more specific questions, let me know i'll ask him. I know there was a very good thourough review of the phone, i'll ask him if he can find it. I say get it. its super sexy.

  • I'm in the same boat and have been eyeing it as well!  I'm due for a new Verizon phone in January.

    I'm glad to hear your H likes it, Liza!

  • sounds good to me!!

    Seriously, ANY phone would be better than what I have now!!! I can't see any text messages I type, my phone is cosntantly freezing so I need to restart it all the time, it makes weird "white noise" sounds instead of normal beeps...

    I hate it.

  • I have it and I love it!  I really wanted an iphone, but my whole family is on Verizon and I need the mobile-mobile minutes.  There are tons of useful free apps, it is easy to use, I've had a great time playing with it.  The phone part works really well also, which I've heard can be a problem with the iphone.

    The only thing that's a bit irritating is that I have to charge it every night, but that's likely because I play with it non-stop on my commute everyday.  It only takes about 2 hours to charge all the way up though, and it does have a replaceable battery in case they develop one that lasts longer.

     FWIW, my dad has the Blackberry Storm and said it's great also.

    We're currently on a 15 month trip around the world!

  • My DH also just got the droid - he's been researching it and asking for it for the past couple of months. Granted we just got our phones a couple of days ago, he loves it. He literally spends the time on the bus to and from work playing with it and figuring it out (he used to sleep on the bus before this). He is also a software developer, so super techy and loves all these things. I haven't played with it yet, but he showed me a  few apps that it has and they're pretty sweet (and a bunch of them are free). I know one of the apps he was drooling over is traffic reports for when we're driving somewhere (we were due to get it for our GPS, but he wanted the droid anyway).
  • you all have totally convinced me and Joe - we will be getting ourselves droids after thanksgiving!

  • My DH got the Droid the day it came out, and has been playing with it ever since. I actually got to play with it last night! Its a great smart phone. The I phone definetely has some competition.  It has voice recognition, GPS, it tells you where good resturaunts are. If you loose it, or it gets stolen you can borrow another persons Droid or smart phone to locate where it is.  There are a bunch of free apps, that have fun games. My DH loves it.  The texting on both the keyboard and touch screen are piece of cake! I would definetely recomend it. You have everything at your finger tips!
  • We are going the day after we get back from Cali to get our phones.  I can't wait - you guys made me so excited about the droid!!
