It's just a phone, people. Sure, a very capable phone - but it can be used to call people and send the occasional text message. If someone wants a smartphone and likes Verizon, the Droid is the one I'd recommend at this point.
@ Alm0614 your Gma is Bad@ss!
no way my Gma would know how to use a DROID. my gramps would try and get pissed off and call me asking how to do this or how to do that.

I remember when I first got my Droid I considered returning it after a couple of days because it seemed too complex compared to my Ipod Touch ie. iPhone without the phone. After about 2 weeks I feel like I had it mastered. After 2 months I feel like it is now part of my body and could not live without it. Now, I consider myself a techy guy. I fix everyone's computer problems. That being said, would I recommend a Droid to an average non techy friend? Hmm, I don't know. How about you? Would you? Is the Droid a techy only phone or could your wife learn to use all it's capabilities?

Also its funny when customers see that i have a DROID and they get all excited because they have one also and we spend like 5min talking about how much we love it and what apps we like. Its a great thing this phone!
My wife has an Eris and works for Apple. :icon_ devil:
In my opinion, there's the real answer. If somebody needs the capability of the phone there's no reason to avoid it. I think most people who see the benefit of using the phone will put in the effort to learn it.It would depend on what they wanted a phone for. If they just wanted/needed a basic phone for making calls, no I wouldn't. If they did a lot of texting or wanted something capable of handling email and internet, yes I would recommend it over other phones on the market.
