OG Droid Forum is slowly fading..

[Chizzele]

I must say that the whole section dedicated to the OG Droid is seeing less and less activity every day... It is the natural course of technology although the Original Droid started a revolution in the smart phone world and created the best online community i have ever been a part of..

With all the excitement about new phones that are about to pop i must say that in 18 years of owning cell phones the Motorola Droid has the been the best. I bought it close to release and i still have the very first one, no issues or any malfunctions ever. It is still serving me well and it will be the first cell phone i would actually keep after buying a new one. I think you can't ask for a better back up device.

Just my two cents..

it's strange to have this kind of feeling over a cell phone.

a cell phone of all things!

but i must admit, i know exactly how you feel.

It is true, can't stop progress. I think the D1 will have a place in most our hearts. I got mine a week after launch and had it until the D3 dropped as the D2 just wasn't a real upgrade over a rooted D1. I had to get a refurb because I smashed the screen, but that one is still rockin as my daughters game pad. It'll be around for a while, until we buy her a Nintendo DS or something else, but then it will be my backup. It was my first smartphone and got me into hacking and modding and introduced me to this great community which I have watched grow at an amazing rate these past 2 yrs.
It may fade, but it wont die for a long time...

Its definitely hard to explain. Especially for those of us who got started in hardware modding by it. I got mine about a year ago. Flash Player is what drove me to root and install custom recoveries for unofficial updates.
I've since moved on to the Atrix, and I must say, its nothing compared to what my OG was. I don't think any device ever will be. It just can't be killed by conventional weapons.

Still looking for a better reason to post from anything other than the OG (NPrime?)

Wow... glad to see i'm not alone... still waiting for an adequate phone to move on to... I have a strong feeling the prime will be but who knows..

Same here. I've had my OG Droid since November 2009. Barely hanging in there. Reality is this phone is way too underpowered for today's world. It's the phone that got me hooked on Android, and will be a classic forever.

Ever since i rooted and flashed a stable Froyo rom i don't have any performance issues but could definitely use more juice under the hood..

I still have the same D¹ since Feb-'10. I will still keep it when I upgrade in a couple weeks. If I decide to upgrade

I'm right there with you Guy's. Since I've rooted this bad boy its opened me up to a whole new world. Thank you to all the devs who made all this possible, and it is sad to see the OG forums so quiet, but I am looking forward to the prime.

Sometimes I check the forums for something new/cool (OTA-update). Yet nothing interesting. Its like opening the fridge all the time for something delicious to magically appear.
