its pretty awesome. I have no complains whatsoever. the camera is pretty solid.

I know its coming out for att and verizon hella soon. I got it for tmobile and the coverage is fine. it feels pretty durable and it comes with a nice 4g sd card for tunes.

I love my motorola droid. I suggest getting Handcent sms for text, Better Keyboard for a new keyboard layout, slacker radio, pandora, hello IM for aim, twidroid.

We were about to switch to t-mobile, but the new 4G phone (HTC Evo) is coming out for sprint soon, so we figured we could wait a bit for a kickass phone and stay with our network which we are very happy with. Felix is a huge google fanboy, so he's still talking about it even though we decided to not get it

Also download wavesecure it will come in handy if and when you lose your phone.

If someone pops the simcard out, you can lock the phone remotely or even call them seeing it will show you their # Plus with the new update you can install the uninstall option, so if anyone tries to uninstall wavesecure it bricks the phone.

I wish someone the best of luck with my Nexus One. Pin code when the phone starts and after the 9 dot combo, my baby secure HEHE

tmobile android here, love it. couple downers though: one is there is no zoom function for the camera, the second is that i feel like i have to charge it all the time and third you can't time your phone to shutoff / turn on at a certain time. it's better than my bb pearl but those are three things i wish i could do. on the flip side i can do SO much more with the phone.

as for syncing contacts you probably have no choice because it's a google product i can't see them making it easy for you to link things up another way. although on the other hand gmail is fantastic and you should be using it anyway

which phone do you have?

Thats a bummer that your camera cant zoom. As for the battery life, Do you have active wallpaper running? That eats up alot of the battery.

theres apps for all of that yo!


Posted by chimera66 on Apr-12-2010 02:30:

no, really like what?


Posted by The Vza on Apr-12-2010 03:07:

a few things Im trying to get used to when going from a bb to the droid. not being able to just type letters and have a contact come up to call. having to rifle through my contacts to send a text or to call for that matter. i just wanna type it and go. wit this thing i gotta press once, then again, then type a name, then press it, then hit dial.

its almost like the phone and texting are secondary to the rest of the shit thats on it. which i guess they are. i dunno. its only day 2

what? you should be able to start typing a name and have it come up.
it does on G1, im sure it does on Droid too.


Posted by EliPsE on Apr-12-2010 03:50:

the contact names come up if you start dialing with the pull out keyboard.
You can also hold the camera button and it will go to text. then just start typing away

seems that there is no auto on off capability with this phone which sucks. the reason i want it is that i use the alarm clock which means i have to keep the phone on all night. oh well just shutoff during the day more often i guess.

got t mobiles droid its great.just the internet alone on it has saved me time when i need to find something on the road.got it for 70 bucks on a two year plan so that was great


Posted by thedevastation on Apr-12-2010 23:47:

tmobile's non contract plans are awesome! paying w/ taxes (59.99 w/out tax) 68 bucks for 500 anytime - unlimited text/web is good in my book
