Who is holding on to the Original Droid Forever

Thought about this....I might start keeping these phones as a backup when I upgrade, switch to the 1-yr plans, and not purchase insurance. Then if something happens to a new phone, I just revert back to an older model for a few months until I can upgrade.

Still waiting for that PS3 remote control app, too. Use it at home as a wifi device and DVD controller, and maybe as a mouse/keyboard for browsing the web on PS3, sounds like a productive retirement plan.

I am waiting on this too, any leads?

other than more horsepower and bigger screens, the newer android phones don't really offer much beyond what the original droid already has. (in my opinion)
i don't play games and i don't foresee myself recording video ever so the original droid will do me just fine. so i won't be upgrading until it's absolutely necessary or upgrading to a bigger/better phone is either free or very cheap.

Keeping it for ever. I want an x but i might hold out for a LTE capable android phone in 2011/2012. I hope that the bootloader on the x gets cracked.

i put keeping it forever, but who knows. Ive had my droid since december, and i have left it stock. for some reason i think i got one of the better phone because i have been pretty rough on it (dropping alot), and my phone still works perfectly. I have never really had any problems, and i use my phone for a **** ton of stuff. so I will be keeping my droid 1 (stock) as long as possible. But this new news about verizon taking out the unlimited data plan might change that. only time will tell.... ooooooooooooo deep like a dancing banana

Agreed, although if the Droid had 512mg of ram then it would be perfectly fine, IMO.

So a blurb from the graphics chip maker that Android will have PS3 quality graphics in 3 years, but I'm not a gamer, either.

I envision my next phone, provided it's LTE, will last me a good number of years. 90% of my use is probably phone (shocking!), email, music and alarm. Basic stuff, I like the navigation and all the news at my finger tips, but I could live without it.

As for the thread topic, in a few months the Droid isn't going to get a whole lot on EBay to justify selling it anyway, IMO.

I want the X, but I'm thinking of waiting for it to get rooted/Rom-able. I'm liking the Galaxy S, if that gets rooted and romable, I may get it :/

EDIT: If the Droid 2 gets a spare of the moment LTE capability, then I'll get it, lol.

im hoping the droid 2 has LTE capability because its due out right about the same time that LTE rolls out ..... so who knows but i do know one thing im not holding my breath.
