Motorola Droid release 11/6/09!

[Kaorte]

Any one else getting one?

I have been using a crappy free phone for years and I think it is time for an upgrade.

This phone looks great, has a great operating system, and I don't even need to switch carriers!

i have been seeing the commercials and wow the phone looks hot

I want it! I don't have an upgrade until next year though. One of us will most likely get the Droid. I either want that one, or a blackberry. I currently have the LG Voyager, and it's been crapping out on me lately. I heard it was supposed to be the "iPhone killer" This thing sucks compared to the iPhone!

Big Gunns is tired of all these dumb commercials. Until BG sees this phone with his own eyes and hears what everyone has to say about it, BG is sticking with his two soup cans and some string.

[Kaorte]

Yeah. I think this phone will be a top competitor with the iphone. It has a lot of great free apps and it just seems more flexible than the iphone.

I'm on Verizon too, but I'm not sure that the Droid excites me - just yet. I also am using the Voyager, but I've loved mine so far. I am a VIP, so I can upgrade every year, and I can upgrade in February, but not sure yet if I will or not. I usually like to wait until a new device has been out a few months to work out the bugs first and wait for the new software updates to correct the bugs.

Off topic but I've never met anyone else with my phone! Lol...

Robin, does your symbol button work all the time? Mine will double click itself ALL the time and makes using my ' really annoying. I'm not sure if it's just my phone, or if it's the device.

[rabernet]

I've not had any problems with the symbol button. I actually just cracked my front LCD yesterday somehow, after babying the phone since last Feb. (thank goodness for the insurance) - and got a replacement via UPS today. Both seem to perform the same. I just sometimes hit shift instead of symbol or vice versa.

The Get It Now system was down most of the day Nationwide today, so I had to wait until about 4:30 to add the Back-up Assistant to the new phone and get all my phone contacts onto my phone (I LOVE Verizon's Back-up Assistant, if you ever lose your phone, your contacts are all saved online and easily downloaded to a new phone).

My friend has the voyager and I was playing with it today and I didn't really like it.

Mostly because it doesn't have a capacitive touch screen and you have to bang on it to click anything.

[Elise.m]

I bang on the screen anyways just cuz I'm so used to it. It's unlocked itself in my pocket and purse a few times, so mine doesn't take much force for the touch screen. Thanks for the input Robin, I have insurance on mine, I'll have to take it in maybe.

I didn't know the droid had a qwerty pad... That phone is so awesome. I don't think it will kill the iPhone, but I think alot of people who were thinking about getting the iPhone will probly just get the droid. No point in losing a perfectly good contract for a phone that's just as good.

I wonder how it will do if you drop it though. I've heard that's the one thing people don't like about the iPhone.
