OK - I've had pretty good luck with my Moto Droid (got it the first day they came out) but tonight it did something bizarre. I had just tried to call my son, but he didn't answer so I ended the call and set the phone down still turned on. I looked down a few seconds later and it said it was connected to a local phone number I did not recognize. So - I hit end call. A few minutes later the person with that number called me back asking if I had called them. I didn't know them, they didn't know me, I don't know that number, it isn't anywhere else in my phone - yet it is a valid local exchange used mostly by Verizon customers.
I've seen posts about phantom dialing and texting while on a charger with insufficient power, but I was not charging it and all of my chargers are Droid chargers. This is really the only issue I've had with my phone and even though it is relatively minor, the puzzling thing is that if it chooses to dial a random number, what are the chances it calls our local area code and an exchange popular with Verizon customers? And no, I am not on that exchange. Any chance it was a hiccup in the local tower - and when I terminated a call it somehow connected me to another number someone else had dialed? I am running 2.0.1 and my phone has not been rooted. Anyone else seen their phone do that?
