All i can say is wow. I went to walmart in Orland Hills IL and was able to get my droid, i had one pre-order at BB, but after reading reports that Walmart was selling them, i was like what the heck let me give it a try. The best part is the phone was only 188.00 plus tax....:D


188 with 2 year renew??? Im in mid-cycle and Verizon told me it would be an extra 20 to change a year early... still worth it... but if wallmart can get it for me cheaper...... I will call out of work.

Hey...you know the saying....if Walmart doesn't sell it....you probably don't need it.

Typing from my droid. OS is amazing, browser too. Keyboard is exactly what people have said... fail. But its definitely not a deal breaker. Its heavier than the storm, but solid. google sync worked perfectly for my contacts. Touch Screen is soooo nice. Colors are a billion times better than the storm. Couldn't be happier since it was $202 out the door. When I went to Verizon on the way home, they were pissed. Felt good :)

Let us know after using it over the weekend if the keyboard is still a fail. (I doubt it will be)

keyboard definitely feels cheap. thats a good way to put it. but when it slides out, its a solid slide. the actual keys just suck. any specific questions? my camera works.

Did you get the media station and car dock?
Does the screen smudge easily?
Did Walmart have any holders/ pouches?

Posting from droid. Keyboard is good to me ;)
people will like, love and hate the keyboard....it's subjective.

Everybody will have their own opinions. I'm not even worried. It's a keyboard either I'll like it or I won't.
