I got a Droid for Christmas and promptly returned it for a Bberry Tour. It was great for apps of all kinds and i enjoyed that but for email, not the best. Its a goof “For fun Phone” but not a great business Phone. The Bberry has a lock on that market, I had to learn the hard way.

Love the phone cord bungee effect thing though, way to go retro on’em.

It’s crazy that you would write a review based on what could only be a defective handset. Clearly the things you are experiencing are not typical of a normal functioning device which leaves the reader to assume that you are a complete moron.

After a week with the Droid I am ready to go back to my Blackberry Storm. I use Outlook for my contacts, calendar and tasks and have found only a $50 per year app to solve the problem, which is NUTS! This should be easy and trying to sync my calendar and contact is not easy!

I find the button and start button inconvient and the tutorial is too fast and incompete. As I sit here with both phones, I am feeling like the web apps like the weather and google maps and web access are not enough to justify the time I am spending trying to get my life back in order (with the sync barriers).

I think the phone is going back to the store today while I am within the return period.

This review sucks maybe try holding down the camera button and my 3 year old can turn my phone on and off no pressure. Also why the hell are you on the phone while driving any way? Its not safe. The force closes you get are only because of 3rd party apps not optimized for android 2.0

Wow, did you even try the Droid? This may be the worst review I have ever read. First of all, it kills the crackberry. And far superior to the iPhone. Please get a clue.

this review is all bogus. the physical keyboard is a bit annoying, but everything else works beautifully. I’ve had iphones for 2 years and while I kind of miss all the silly little apps it had, it was a horrible HORRIBLE phone. if you have no signal half the places you spend your time, then it’s worthless except to play silly games. I’m 100x happier with the droid. It actually works everywhere I go in Cincinnati, and now I spend time web surfing instead of playing lame iphone games that only capture your attention for 5 minutes. NO MORE ITUNES!! YAY!!!! everything just works, and alot of the best features like high quality gps, and ringtone maker app, etc. are all FREE.

The only thing about this review that is true for me is the keyboard complaint: it’s definitely thin and not the best keyboard out there. It’s not awful, but it isn’t great either. I have not experienced any of the author’s other complaints, and judging by the lack of similar complaints in any of the 4 forums I frequent, I would suspect a bad device or PEBCAK. Wow, just wow. Totally bad review.

The reviewer does get a number of things right. I’ve had a Droid for two months now and overall it’s been a good experience. However he is write about some of the software issues. Getting the phone to dial out can be difficult. Bring up the phone app, scroll through the contact, try to make a call. . .phone freezes and you have to force close the phone app.

This has happened to me on multiple occasions and it is always inconvenient. Sometimes turning the phone on and off fixes it, other times you just need to wait a few hours until your phone decides to work again.

As for the keyboard - I think it works fine. It’s always talked about in reviews as being a huge negative - however I find that it works great.

Dude you are freaking drunk. I have had my droid for a couple of months now and it is awesome. I have had none of the issues that you are referring to. I owned 3 blackberries prior to the droid and gave my girlfriend my 6 month old curve when I picked this little beauty up. The phone is responsive. The call quality is good. The keyboard does take some getting used to, but once you do it works well. The OS is excellent and I have had no problems with it. It is able to multi-task beautifully without a hiccup. Neither the blackberry nor iPhone multi-task worth a damn. Go back to a rotary phone, or better yet a telegraph!

What is wrong with retards who are to lazy to learn how to use their phone and just hope that not putting any time into it works out. I mean come on, you cant gripe about a phone when you get a non-working dud, ALL PHONES COULD HAVE THAT PROBLEM!!!
