    My Droid died today!!!

    So here's the story. I've had my Droid since around 7am on Friday when it was released. I've used it and played around.... it was great. Today I had to go somewhere in my car, and I put the phone down in the cup holder which I normally do. I get to my destination and pick up the phone. I tried to check if I had any emails or whatever. I couldn't get the screen to turn on. I tried everything... opened and closed the keyboard... pressed the buttons... pressed and held down the power button... pressed and held it down again.... nothing. I finally took out the battery, put it back in, and then it was able to power up again. Once it was up, it seemed fine..... but seriously, WTF!!

    Anyone else see this?

    I had that happen to me once on Saturday afternoon, but a battery pull did the trick.

    Sometimes you just NEED to pull out the battery.

    Be thankful you can remove the battery, unlike some other phones

    So bring it back and see if they will exchange it for you.

    There are tons of reports of people getting their device exchanged for a new one.

    VZW, Google, and Motorola seem to be getting bugs fixed quickly.

    There is an OTA update scheduled for 12/11/2009 to fix some issues/bugs.

    If the problem persists, take it to VZW store and see if they can swap it out.

    It's a brand new, first run phone. There is bound to be issues that pop up.

    No worries.
    Am I excited for Droid?

    Well I knew what I was getting into with a new phone and all. It's VERY good to hear that there's a fix coming out on 12/11. I sure hope it fixes a lot!

    Besides these things.... the Droid is totally awesome and kicks @$$!!!

    Mine did that the first day and I haven't had a problem since.

    Sometimes a "smartphone" is only as smart as its user.
