So...What ONE function sold you on the Droid?

open source...I want the apps, and being able to write apps myself intrigues me.

I've already got a couple ideas on apps for work...I'm always looking to learn new things, and writing Android apps seems like a decent thing to learn to do.

The Storm... or lack of it. yes I am still using it and yes it's better since the new OS, but to have to beta test it for a year so they could release the "proper" Storm...

That and Google/Open Source/10,000 apps Sounds like a win to me!

For me, it was "Google" - for my husband it was "linux kernel"

 

[DROIDrocks]

wifi really.. that's originally why i wanted the storm 2

Same here. I was really watching for release of Storm 2 when I started looking into DROID. I've never been one to buy right when a new thing comes out...much less not having even touched it...but I WANT it!

What sold me on the droid was the storm 2, i waited for so long for that phone just to be disappointed when i touched it.

this seems to be the common denominator.. same thing for me, i was waiting for the S2 and then the buzz about android. Ive always loved android but never owned one since im loyal to verizon wireless. A good buddy has a G1 that is rooted with a custom rom and its absolutly amazing. He is also switching from tmobile to verizon on friday just for this phone.

High-resolution, 16:9 screen; slider keyboard; multitasking; great browser...

 

[Spanky]

Probably the search function......

One search box that scans the web, contacts, messages, etc. How cool is that?

 

[crspang]

Big screen!

 

[Slowestpuma]

Google support

 

[ShowTime]

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

But since I'm here; Google maps/Nav

 

[bomber889]

Big screen.

"Open Source" and this is coming from someone who hasn't rooted....yet.

Most of all... the email capibility. I'm a volunteer with the Metro Fire CERT Program and as the volunteer coordinator, needed the ability to send emails to large numbers of people in preselected groupls with a large signature and disclaimer statement and to do it BCC meant only one thing.. Blackberry doesn't. iPhone doesn't, but DROID DOES...
After that there's a whole heap of reasons, but that's where it started.
