[crazygemini1919]

i just checked out the nexus on the google homepage... and its the same exact thing (icons, layout,ect) of the droid... cuz obv there both android phones..... i would never buy an all touch screen phone.. i must have a keyboard therefor droid is much better then the nexus

[crazygemini1919]

im new to this so i dont even know what the big deal about 2.1 is nor the difference? .. ive had my droid for a week now and i love it, best phone ive had thus far

As well you should Crazy. I've owned Treo 700wx, HTC xv6800 and Touch Pro and this smartphone in my opinion sends them all home packing.......... and I think with every little upgrade this thing will get even better........... Having said that, I am looking forward to checking out 2.1 :-)

I had the vx6800! I used to watch movies on the bus ride home with it, and play duke nukem...lol

It was a brick and the call quality was the worst I ever experienced! I seriously despise windows mobile.

I have had the iPod Touch now for over a year and have longed for an iphone on verizon...when the droid came out I looked at it skeptically (coming from the pathetic LG Dare!) thinking it would be yet another disapointment.

I'm happy to report I have not touched my iPod Touch (no pun there) since I activated my Droid. Best damn phone I've ever had.....miles ahead of the iPhone!

The only thing I don't like is that I can't for the life of me find a good Solitaire game!! I paid $7 for the one I had on my iPod and got so many hours use out of it its ridiculous! But I guess the tradeoff is that for $9 I bought the nes, snes and genesis emulators and transfered all my roms (1.29GB worth) to my droid, now I have over 1,000 games on there. Not bad!

sooo, when 2.2 coming out

[crazygemini1919]

i still dont know the difference and what the hype about 2.1 is? lol

I personally hate how the LED Notification light only blinks green. I know there are some apps that can change it to different colors based on what the notification is, but they don't encompass all notifications.

I personally like it when i get a handcent notification, I have mine set to blink red, when its from a default application from the phone.. its red.....

I would like to be able to assign every type of notification a color... that way I have a hint whats its about before I even touch my phone.

Don't worry Droid & Cliq owners, you're not going to be left in the dark. Motorola also announced that they'll be bringing both the Motorola Droid & Motorola Cliq to Android 2.1. Which means we should be able to enjoy all the goodies that made the Nexus One so jaw-droppingly sexy on our Motorola Android phones. We're definitely interested in seeing Motoblur and Android 2.1 interact, but that's a discussion for another day.
But the news doesn't stop there for Droid owners. Not only will they receive Android 2.1 but Motorola has been working on Flash 10.1 integration and has optimized it for the Droid chipset, which means yes, your Droid will soon have official Flash support. On top of that, the Droid should get a second maintenance update in the near future. Score big for Droid.
Since yesterday wasn't such a good day to be a Droid owner, today is shaping up totally different! What do you guys think?

I agree. The Nexus One does look good, but a physical keyboard is a must. Especially when playing 'What the Doodle'. I don't see how anyone can play that using only a virtual keyboard...

i found this post as well.. very encouraging, but accuracy is questionable as there is no source mentioned.
