The Droid is rad

Illini · Mar 4, 2010

You just say "betjamaica.com" out loud, and you are at the website. The pull-out keypad and the faster network seemingly makes it better than the iphone.

Bye-bye Sprint. I'm getting the Droid unless someone on here can convince me to get the iphone instead.

i've never tried the droid, but swear by the iphone myself. it is just so easy to use!

Just got my droid last night. I have to get used to all the features. I'm glad you can use the speech recognition.

Have you tried the GPS features yet?

I went to cbs.sportsline.com and looked at the basketball game scores and it was about 1 minute behind my cable Internet.

It's hard enough to get a Bluetooth that recognizes speech properly, hard to imagine I;d want to use a speech feature like that.

I've got Sprint and I love my Palm Pre. They finally added video recording capability recently.

yeah the gps is real easy to use...just go to "car home" and it will show your exact location....just type in or say where u want to go and it will lead you there....

the phone has a shit load of free apps...just go to "market" and go to free apps and go crazy...free ringtones, wallpapers...whatever

90% of the iphone apps are free also. About 50% of my apps I pay for on my iphone, they are just better. I figure if I'm going to spend $299 for it, why skimp on a 99 cent app?

The Droid is very overrated. The keyboard is one of the worst keyboards put in a phone(to flat).

The size and weight of the phone sucks.

I told a guy before about my buddies app called "Qponomics" that gives you coupons and special offers on anything from Pizza to Oil changes. It's free to boot.

Really? I can't switch from Sprint for another month. I'll go talk to them and look at the Palm Pre. I loved the Droid.

Yep, love it.

pre can't do flash, so how can you say it can't be beat for the web?

Waiting for a Nexus One with 850Mhz 3G.

Google did voice recognition right.

I plugged a mic into my iPod Touch and was disappointed Apple didn't voice-enable anything, only some third-party apps.

Pre is getting flash before the Droid, I believe.

I've got it and like it, however, check it out, the keyboard may not be for everybody. The keys are pretty small and tight so if you have big fingers I imagine it could be an issue.

WebOS is the best OS around though, hands down. No other phone multitasks like it.
