I miss you, OG Droid

[poooookah78]

I bought the OG Droid in November of 2009 and loved it every day. I did so many great things with it from rooting to overclocking to wifi tethering to playing games and taking it with me to the gym using grooveshark for my daily music. Fast forward to last month, I got the Nexus. I love the nexus, it does everything I was hoping it could do and will continue to be the open source unlocked phone that the Droid was back in its day. I just wanted to say that for those of you who still have the OG, it was a fantastic phone and it should still continue to get love from its users.

I feel certain that this phone will continue to have an underground community that works on Roms, kernels, and OSs for the OG.

I currently keep my OG with me at all times. I have found many MANY uses for it, including:

- Running grooveshark through my speakers and having an entertainment system without being interrupted by phone calls/text messages.
- GPS unit in the car (running tether with my nexus and having the OG on the mount works perfectly).
- Emulator/gaming station for NES/SNES games - works perfectly with a wii mote bluetoothed.
- Storage for pictures/files/music.
- Dropbox app lets me access those files and upload them as well.
- MANY MANY others....

Just thought I'd indulge in a little nostalgia here and mention this to everyone!

Still using my og until march. Ice cream sandwich alpha on xda if you aren't aware. If you are aware and haven't tried it in a while, it has come a long way. Amazing. Long live the OG

Yeah I've got it flashed on my little Wifi OG. Surprisingly, it works pretty decent, but if I was using my OG as my main phone, I'm not quite sure I could deal with the annoyances.

Yeah that is true but the progress he has made in the past 3 weeks is pretty crazy so I'm hopeful a stable update will come along soon.

I miss mine too. I was an early adopter of Android, not day off release but very soon thereafter and had I not dropped it, I would have still had it to this day. Tried to get a warranty replacement and all they had were Droid 2 star wars which while technically speaking it was an upgrade. But in actuality it was a downgrade. I missed my OG every day and still do. I feel like my nexus will carry on but there will always be a special place for the OG.

Wow, what a great idea! I'm almost embarrassed to say I hadn't thought of actually USING my original Moto Droid, once I move on (and I'll be moving on sometime next month [Feb]). Taking and keeping pix and vids, playing the music that's currently stored on it, etc.

Thanks Pooo...

I love my OG, finally went out n tested these new devices (razr, gnex, etc.) I have to say I'm staying with OG....those phones feel like plastic toys

Still rolling with my OG I have an upgrade in Feb. Not sure which phone to roll with. Might just keep my OG as a backup though!
