Fonzie Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 droid intrigues me...it's basically the same as my phone, but it has a solid state keyboard (mine doesn't) and it's made by motorola (mine's samsung)I like the looks of that keyboard. Looks like the keys are actually of a size you can use without miskeying/double keying all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 just might have to upgrade to the droid when it comes out in a week. Looks pretty good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangBruhY Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I see nothing spectacular about the droid. Nothing that it does that none of the other phones don't do, other than the 5 megapixel camera. I have the Storm and love it. I would like to upgrade, but haven't had it for a year. If I pass it on, then I would have to add another unlimited bandwidth to my account. So I'm still undecided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat0403 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 just went to try and upgrade my storm tonight...i'm on my fifth one and looking towards the sixth....so they decided that they would allow me to upgrade to another phone (lemon). I really like all of the features of the storm but i'm tired of having to replace it everytime something screws up. I have heard the storm 2 is a lot better but i am just wary so on friday im going to check out the droid when it drops. btw there are 10,000 apps available friday and looking to have 30,000 within the month. These two phones are the only two options for a replacement for as far as i know and so says Verizon too, no other phones that they have are comparable unfortunately.

Any problems I had before that were merely annoyances for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbarron77 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I can't compare the droid, and this is the first Blackberry device I've used, but it is Frickkin' SWEET! The browser is smooth and quick, as a tethered device(for use as a modem) pages load about twice as fast as my old Windows PDA, the "keyboard" is a touchscreen qwerty style and has the feel of real buttons. The security can be setup extremely tight, and....wait for it...my entire contacts list is now accessible via voice recognition software!I just hit a button, say a name, and Home, work, Mobile, etc, and it dials it for me. I did not have to record any names, or set a baseline for my voice, it just did it.While I would have liked to have waited for the droid, I am more than happy with the Storm2.

V4junkie Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 That's ok, as much as they want to sell the Droid as an iPhone killer it's definitely not. The Droid is accessible but it will mostly appeal to tech geeks. The average person will still like the WOW factor of the iPhone and business users will still need a Blackberry's security or a WinMo's productivity. Besides, if everyone has the droid (though a lot of people will), how am I supposed to feel special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbarron77 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 ...

Just like all of us who ride that short bus every day....I couldn't pass that one up, especially since one of the bars around here, the people at the bar call me "Short Bus".

DangBruhY Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Just watched some videos on the droid... LAME... The keyboard is flat and you can barely feel the keys. Might as well get a Storm 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
