Dragon Blogger: Sorry for the late reply. A Google rep said she was going to send a Nexus One out to me and then I never heard anything from her again.

cat: To each their own, I suppose. I hadn’t been a big fan of texting, but as it gets easier and more people I know become comfortable with it, I find myself doing it more.

This and most other powerful phones are way too much for me. I must be getting old, cuz I just want a phone that calls in and calls out. I've got friends texting me and i can't text them back cuz i can't seem to remember how to do that. And I also prefer to hear a human voice, not converse through some tiny little text on a screen. But to each his own. .-= cat@Olympus Voice Recorder WS 210 ´s last blog ..About the Olympus Voice Recorder WS 210 =-.

Awesome review of the Droid, very thorough and you did a fantastic job showing it off. When will be your Google Nexus One review? That is the smart phone I am most interested in.

Thanks for the great Droid review. I'm seriously thinking of the Droid as an alternative to my iPhone when it's contract runs out. There are some thing that irritate me about the iPhone, the Push Notifications as you mentioned for one , and I think I would prefer to go to a keyboard rather than touch screen typing.

[...] their new year’s present and gave an objective report of the Nexus One. It looks nicer than Droid and I like the endorsement of smooth and speedy opening of apps. [...]

Lowell: Thanks for adding all that info. Good stuff!

Net Fool: Yeah… I can see what you mean… Some people require a physical keyboard, too. Sometimes it’s just a matter of personal needs and preference.

I recently bought a Blackberry Tour and have been thinking about “what if” I had a DROID instead… good to hear it is living up to the hype! The only reason I really didn’t like the iPhone is because when I look for a phone, I want something that I can tangibly “push” to make it work. What does that mean? Touchscreens are out :P

Maybe their next version will entice me to switch over…

Droid rocks. There is nothing that the iPhone has that the Droid does not, except $$. Hardware is 100x better than any other Android-powered phone … with one exception … the difficult keyboard. Battery life is 2x the iPhone and it uses the standard micro-usb to charge, and I have dozens of those $4 cables laying about. It has a ton of nice features the iPhone lacks .. like making any mp3/sound file a ringtone for a contact without having to jump through hoops. … and if Google doesn’t approve an app to be in the marketplace, you can load it yourself.

Don’t forget the turn-by-turn navigation … making my GPS obsolete except in the darkest of rural areas where there is no cellphone signal.

Metal objects … don’t forget it has a magnetometer/compass in it, so it can detect ferrous materials moving around it =) (play with the GPS Status app .. pretty nifty and shows the magnetometer readouts)

Aps you must get:

Dragon browser: full multi-touch zooming, gestures, etc using the same Safari-based browser engine as the normal browser

SMS Popup — makes text messaging less of a pain, custom per-contact alerts, etc.

Meebo, for all your instant-messaging services in one

Google Googles is insane =)

Pandora of course
