I have a Nuvi in my car and the phone is substantially faster than the Nuvi.

I use my iPhone so much that the lack of multi-tasking is a real pain. Like when I'm listening to ESPN radio and I want to reply to a text or something.

I think the 4g iPhone will be out this summer so if you go iPhone you might want to wait until then to use your upgrade.

Got mine last night and love it, still getting use to it but its a lot faster then the pro 2 I had. The one and only complaint I have is that I can't set up yahoo through the email app, but should only be a temp problem cuz google wants u to use a gmail account. The techs said it should be available in a few weeks

Just read a report that Apple will have a combination CDMA/GSM iPhone in Q3 2010 that Verizon will sell.

the Droid is awesome. The screen is brilliant, and the touch is so responsive i've only used the ful qwerty like twice, even my fat little fingers can navigate well. it is about 20,000,000,000 x better then my POS Glyde. Verizon developers should have been shot after that one.

Oh, mine came fully assembled with a beautiful Trunk to keep my accessories in.

I added the dock station, needed a new alarm clark anyway, wow, it's a neat little gadget, converts the screen to a full multimedia desk clock showing weather and picturs or whatever, has an easy backlight button on the screen so it is nice and soft at night, but turns on during the day.

The multi tasking is great, can talk on the phone, search for directions in google maps all while listening to some tunes if you wish.

The number of apps is less then the iphone, but i don't need 20 different versions of a flame or compass, and ya, i have those silly ones already. It does everything i want so far.

Only complaint so far is on one of the apps, the verison visual voicemail won't work while you are connected to WiFi, you have to turn off Wifi to get voicemail? wtf, i knnow is silly, but annoying.

i didnt realise anyone else on here was laboring with the glyde

tell me did you have the capacitive or reactive screened one? the cap screened version is for the dogs. the reactive is reasonably decent for a device with locked up firmware

I had the 1st gen one, it took more then one trip across the room. I don't know how many calls I missed or people I called on accident cause of that phone. Then if it would work, it would lock up and reboot, haha. wow...just wow. The Droid is a fricken breath of fresh air!

Android will be released on many other phones by then, I can't wait to see what other people besides motorola do with this OS. I have never been a big fan of motorola products.
