I have a droid unfortunately !  Go with the incredible. I am very unhappy with the droid. The battery life is horrible due to the tons of friveless APPS that swamp your phone. Then if you have a few apps you like you must remember to shut them down or they continue to run in the background giving you a battery life of a few hours. The backlight feature of the phone sucks. Then when you are talking to someone on it and your face barely touches the stupid screen guees what ....MUTE !!! The phone is some shiznit and well overated. Those apps run your phone into the ground. Let me know if you need a few more reasons why not to get a droid. I am all ready looking to trade in or upgrade this piece of crap ! Very user unfriendly phone !!


My droid is made by sprint and it / they all suck far as I'm concerned !!

I have the Droid Motorola Back flip....has a keyboard for texting.....a laptop like mouse on the back when flipped.

You can open the flip and the time displays just like an alarm clock...lit monitor.  Can watch HD TV on it also.

Similar to iphone.  It's a smartphone with many many applications.  GPS, roadmaps, phone will tell you when to turn etc.

I have AT&T as my provider.

You need to download an app killer app.  Don't knock the phone because you haven't taken the time to figure out how to use it.  It is obvious that you haven't since you didn't even know that the Incredible IS a Droid.  Droid is an OS.  Many manufacturers have released phones running the Droid OS.  What it comes down to is that perhaps it's a little too much phone for you.  You probably should have stuck with your Razr.

Well those that have the Droid, how is the OS?

I am now in the debate between the Tilt 2 and waiting for ATT to come out with more droid phones as they only have the backflip by motorola but more otw according to ATT with 5 by the end of the summer.  Dell has their phone with droid coming out within the month and HTC is rumored to have one at least.

Don't know AT&T....  If I were to get one today it would be the Incredible or the Evo.  HTC has got it going on.

Wow , that could be my next phone

If your the outdoorsy type or prone to be in harsh environments. The Gzone line of phones is the way to go.

Day before yesterday it was pouring rain outside and I was power washing a house,deck and sidewalk.
End of the day I went home and took off my rain gear and noticed my phone was gone. One of those "oh no" moments.
Then, figuring there was only 3 places I'd been that day I went over to the gas station, where it wasnt, The convenience store, where it wasnt, then finally the house.
after circling the house a couple of times I spotted the phone and case submerged in a puddle on the side of the house I started on some 5 hours earlier. It probobly popped off my belt when I was wrestling with some over grown bushes.

Picked up the phone. soaked case and all (fabric "Husky" case picked up at Home Depot) didnt even check the phone. And went home and plopped it on my desk case and all, and forgot about it.
Kicked back and took a nap.
Several hours later my phone rings (my ringtone is the screeching sound from the shower scene in the movie Psycho. (long story) Trust me. it wakes you up.
Anyway. Phone works perfectly.
