Ok...who has one...who wants one...who knows anything about them?

I broke my LG Voyager lastnight and am seriously considering getting a Droid. But I have questions that probably are better answered by other consumers or tech-heads rather than some Verizon desk jockey salesman.

It's verizon, so they've locked it down and if you even try rooting it they'll cut your little finger off.

If you want a real Android you'll have to go t-mobile or sprint.

T-mobile and Sprint have shite for service in my area. But Verizon gives me 5 bars of signal damn near everywhere.

Besides...I'm not THAT much of a techie nerd to hack it.

I am however more than enough nerd to want one.

That was quick. All I've used on it is Google Navigation, but it's a significantly better GPS than my Garmin is.

I love mine as well. I fully intended to post a review up here, but to be fair I've only had it about a week.

Things I like:

The screen has insane resolution (854x480) which translates to higher than dvd quality
Crazy amount of apps
Nes, snes, genesis and gba emulators with tons of games
Google listen: use rss feeds to listen to your favorite podcasts-downloaded or streaming.
Sports, news, and virtually any update you want in app or widget form
Open platform
Its linux!

What I don't like: the keyboard is tight and the battery life is poor. I still get through my whole day, but it's D E A D by the time I plug it in at night.

That's actually it for what I don't like. The internet is fast, pages load like I want them too. Lisa actuallly wants one to replace her iPhone!

Good luck with that. He pretty much just sleeps there...God help you if you get him going about it. He is stupified-ly excited about it.

By the way, he did start a thread on here about it somewhere in anticipation of it's birth. It's pretty much his first-born child.

I can tell you from messing around with it for all of 4 minutes that it weighs about the same as 3 iPhones combined. It's pretty solid. I think you could use it to stop a car from rolling down a hill by placing it behind the tire.
