About to get the Verizon Droid.. anyone have it already??

Friend has it. it's awesome. get it

 

I work at Best Buy Mobile and every time I activate one, I get jealous and contemplate paying the early termination fees and signing up with Verizon... If that doesn't say enough for the Droid's case, maybe the fact that I'm an iPhone user does. Moto hit a home run with the Droid.

 

I don't have one, but I am a Verizon wireless employee. I've spent a lot of time with the phone, and it is fantastic. I want one (and I have an iPhone...).

 

I was supposed to get mine the day it came out, but I am getting a better deal this Friday, so I will be getting it then. Let me know how you like it if you do get it before then!!

 

How expensive is the monthly service for it? I'm up for a new phone too, and considering the Droid. I just don't want a ridiculous monthly service fee to have it.

 

I'm curious as well. Anyone know?

 

i dropped my phone in the toilet the other day.......ended up having to buy a mytouch off ebay...man i wish i could get the droid unlocked, but it's giong for 500 (not unlocked)

 

the minimum plan required would be

39.99 voice + 29.99 data

Whats with the lower standby time but longer talk time?

 

I'm thinking long and hard about ditching my 2G iPhone for the Droid. I miss being able to actually make calls (stupid AT&T), and I could totally use my iPhone as an iPod Touch and have the best of both worlds.

I think I might wait for the HTC Dragon/Passion, though (whenever that drops). Combining the Droid's internals (plus faster CPU!) with the Droid Eris' form factor and Sense UI makes me drool.

 

where do you see that

 

i want one.

now.

 

I'd wait and get the HTC Passion/Dragon, it's going to have a 1Ghz processor and the droid has the standard 528mhz. Don't get me wrong the Droid is a great phone if you can't wait.

 

I'm guessing the screen eats up a lot more battery than the other comparable phones, thus less standby time. Talk time is a little higher than the others but not a ton.

 

woops sorry...link

from what i've read, the 1ghz snapdragon processor is faster, but the processor droid uses has a designated gpu for graphic processing, making it more desirable for graphic-heavy applications.

i'm still waiting for the next android 2.0 phone with a 3.5mm audio jack from t-mobile the droid is fricking sexy though!

 

I'm with T-Mobile too, waiting on this =) till then I'll just have to run a 2.0 rom on my G1

That's a good chart up there. Shows you really can't go wrong with any of the best phones out there.

(though Pre's app choices are pretty disappointing compared to Apple and Android.)
