Rawr I should neg rep u

I was on Sprint, but switched to Verizon a full two months before my contract is ending. The two Google phones sprint has are the Hero and the Moment. The hero is nice but hardware is ooold. I've had the 528mhz ARM11 chipset for like 3 years, I'm not buying a new phone with the same guts as my old one. The moment is cool and I love the screen but it's thick and looks cheap. So voila! Motorola Droid.

I <3 U Feel better now?

Ewww, hit em with some RAID!

What bugs?

Exactly, I would have considered the iPhone as well but AT&T's service is gawdawful. Then add on top of that my distaste for Apple. Not because they make bad products (well, moving parts in an iPod, I mean really) but because everything is mainstreamed and when using an iPhone I feel spoonfed. Couldn't be happier. Appstore is already great and is quickly catching up. The processor doesn't really leave anything to be desired even when running multiple programs, comes with 16gb sd, and the screen is fantastic. Motorola is pretty much hinging their company's success on this phone, they didn't cheap out on a single thing. It's SOLID! About the keyboard. This phone is about the same thickness as an iPhone. I'll take flat keys rather than raised ones on a phone that's less pocketable. BTW before I get anyone's ire up. I don't believe there's such thing as an iPhone killer or needs to be. But for myself, this fits me much better. It's just the closest competitor to compare it to.

Almost went on a long rant about how much I love my new droid and then realized I was in a Crackberry thread. We need our own thread Droid people. How's everyone doing on battery life? I'm getting a full day worth of heavy use, never had that in a smartphone before. That's with Pandora running in the background, updating FB, playing games, etc. The rated talk time of 6.5 hours is way short, Cnet got 7.5, Phandroid got over 7 with the screen on continuous full bright and running multiple programs. App store is great, almost everything I've downloaded has been useful. Favorites so far: Appkiller, must have. Kill what you're not using or just kill everything and you'll get even more battery life. Documents2Go, no need for a WinMo phone if I can edit office docs RoboDefense, cool tower defense strategy, really addictive Pandora and Shazam, nuff said Sugarsync, I like not having to tether the two when taking files off the home comp. 2 Gb free remote storage. Speed Forge lite, good lookin 3d game Google Sky Map, gf and I laid out in the country and used this to identify constellations. Pulls your GPS and uses the accelerometer to rotate the map as you do. Downloaded Genesis and SNES emulators but haven't got roms yet etc etc and with the exception of Docs2go everything I've downloaded so far is free Also reception is amazing. My sprint phones couldn't get reception in my basement, no longer a problem. Had the thing way out in the middle of nowhere Corning OH and still had 3g coverage. With all of this amazingness rolling out, plus competition from Palm and Apple, Windows mobile is just looking sad. It's all I ever had on my smartphones, and now I'll never go back. Oh and has anyone done any research on why no Pinch-Zoom for the droid? I can take it or leave it, but it's interesting that the phone has the capability and doesn't use it. Not to mention even the Eris (made by HTC) uses pinch zoom. Read that it might be because Apple is suited up ready to go after anyone they think infringe on their intellectual property. Combine that with Motorola's fragile state and I think they might be playing it safe.

It'll look real if you squint. God knows they're squinters!

Wish I was closer, I went to the auto show there a couple years back when I was visiting some friends. Good lookin out mang.

Sometime over the course of the season I'll take you up on that challenge. Even better I'll try to post or take video

Like everybody else said, stick it out. They're not kids. Besides, they have each other. Life as a dog person with no dog sucks, I wish I could have one right now...

Stocking up for the weekend!

What kind of helmet you rocking? If you can shave some weight that helps too.

Always has been :D

For now I just stuffed the Hard A* insert into my jacket. I was using the Icon Vest but found it strange they don't really post test specs for it anywhere. Haven't decided on my next one yet.

Hmm didn't even know about it . . . but I came in here to say . . . I <3 Google

They're ok, when I looked at them in person seemed like the kind of thing that would only be good for one or two spills. Hard to beat that price.

Of all time: Arrested Development (Currently airing: Top Gear) Sheesh people he said show not shows!!

They've got an app for that?

Agreed, those pipes are the business!

I see your ram, and I raise you one of these: WOOOOOO!!!!

First H1N1 vaccine zombie outbreak . . .

Uh . . . what?

Pair that with the radio spot with the Chief of Police endorsing the cameras (at the behest of RedFlex most likely) and saying the wording of the issue, if passed, could prohibit use of even hand held radar guns. Yeah . . . right. Anyway, just my .02 cents cuz it irked me
