Remember with VZW you get a Worry Free guarantee if you dont like your device in the first 30 days you can return it for a full refund. Do keep in mind you will have a restocking fee of $35. Totally worth a bad two year or one year decision.
But... but... THE DROID IS NO MISTAKE!
lol.
In all seriousness: I would gladly spend the total price of the phone if I had to, to have this awesome 'phone'.
Just as a post above said, it's not just a phone. It has been able to replace so many devices I would normally carry.
This is a normal situation for me on any given day:
Call the doctor, set up an appointment. Turn on my favorite song while I: put doctors appointment in my calendar(that syncs with my Google online), hop on my school website to upload my paper(that I edited on the Droid), then I'll flip to FB to check for upcoming birthdays, check my bank account to make sure I have money to get a present, text my sister to remind her to get mom a present, email my dad to remind him, put in an order for flowers(saves the address so I can GPS it later), while my phone rejects the bill collector calling me and sends him to voicemail, update my grocery list app to pick up cake mix, then let my phone back up my SMS, contacts and call logs while I finish eating my lunch.
All done in 15 minutes, nowhere near a computer, but still in touch with everything I *need*. And I didn't even touch on 1/3 of what the Droid can do for me.
The convenience of having the ability to do ALL of these things at any given moment in the day is amazing. And the ease of use with the Droid makes it all that much nicer.
