Everyone I personally know with one without exception loves em.
I'd have one myself but I need something a bit more rugged

Is this rugged enough?

Driod is used for the office, my personal phone is a Samsung Galaxy S.  I much prefer the Galaxy.

Everyone loves those Droid's. Me personally I love the HTC Evo 4G that I bought a couple days ago. It has a 4'' screen with a 8 mega pixel camera. Has all the features of the Droid minus the keyboard. Service is better too, can never go wrong with Sprint. While most of you are paying in the 100s for your phone (includes insurance, 700 minutes, free on the weekends, unlimited text and internet service, sprint TV and the Nascar/NFL network. Android Network, and 4G) I pay about 80.
If you don't like just touch screens, Sprint also has the Samsung Epic 4G. It has all the same amenities as the Evo, just with a keyboard but a smaller camera.

Great phones.

I read 50,000+ for Android vs. 200,000+ for iPhone? I'm not sure, but I've decided to get the LG Optimus S, I'll save enough money to get a new computer and HD monitor soon.

The android market is growing much faster now.  Also, we don't have 50,000 fart apps like iOS  :D

I pay $20/month for unlimited call/text/internet.  For all 3 phones (2 Blackberries, 1 Droid) total is about $85/month with Verizon. :D

Wife and I each got a Motorola Droid X. Fantastic. We love 'em. They may be a compromise for many standalones, but they are indeed the Swiss army knife of pocket computers (notice I didn't say just phone). Some of the Droid X applications we now use much more than separate devices include:

phone
navigator (including voice command)
still camera
motion picture camera
music tuner
music metronome
music player
electronic book reader (still use Kindle on this screen)
compass
leveler
bar code reader
internet searcher
e-mail reader
various games and puzzles
Skype

and of course the usual stuff like
calculator

Typing e-mail is still not as easy as on a full size keyboard, and reading on a full size screen is certainly more pleasant.

A fantastic feature often overlooked or taken for granted is excellent type size control and ragged right margin achievable through the unique six-axis controller like the Sony Playstation 3. Solves the problem of small screen readability. Just tilt between vertical and horizontal until the type is just what you want.

The Droid X is another game changer. It has just about replaced our laptop and netbook computers, but we probably always will need a full size computer with full size screen, printer, and scanner.

We've always been on Verizon Wireless since it has the best service in our area (Northern Virginia).
