Well, after about 2 years of having my tiny little Blackberry Pearl with its heavy-duty Otterbox case I've decided to get a phone that actually does what I want WHEN I want it to. The Pearl was nice, don't get me wrong, but the constant cleaning of the trackball and the slower apps made me feel as if I needed a change. Being a BIG Google fan and a Verizon customer the obvious choice was the Droid. Goodby CrackBerry and hello DroidForums.
