    Yes, you will now live out the rest of your life making tweaks, updates, ROM upgrades until your flanges bleed.

    Well at least my mind, small and shallow as it is, will be kept busy! Now, I can tell my wife "don't worry the time I'm spending on my phone and computer is keeping my brain neurons firing and I'm delay dementia" .

    I just love having everything at my fingertips. Voice Search, calender, appointments, recipes, to do list, and what not. I love this phone because it has finally gotten me more organized than I ever have been. I am forever trying different apps, and customizing the ones I have so they do what I want. I use it to look up things instead of pulling out the laptop, it's my notepad, alarm clock, reminder, calender, recipe file, Bible, game machine, search tool, guitar tuner, news source, phone book calculator, and quick shot camera.... As I told some friends, about the only thing it doesn't do, is slice pizza...

    I haven't rooted, and probably won't, but all of us love are Droids for different reasons, but one of the main reasons is it's versatility and adaptability.....

    Right on the button. Ive been like this since I rooted it... I could only resist rooting the droid for 3 days. I have a folder on my external hard drive with every rom or mod/theme ive tried. They keep getting better and better and the other great thing is that the Android OS on the Droid has me amped about learning to code again. Major plus.

    Everyone i know gives me crap about being addicted to it. I just love seeing the next cool new app/rom/whatever that these amazing communities come up with.
