Randog Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I am due for upgrade and I was thinking in getting that phone. Me too. ^^^ I currently have an Env2 right now and it's been good to me. I was thinkin' bout an Env3 but they have issues with 'butt dialing' (dialing in your pocket). Don't get me started on that one. :ahhhhh: :ahhhhh: LG For info on the Env3 click this >>> Env3 keyguard issue Anyways back to the Droid. I heard there is a couple models.

Thanks R- Randog the two models are the Eris by HTC and the other is the Motorola Droid, the Motorola is badarse!!! it has touch screen and slide out keyboard. There are a ton of great apps to down load for free and a ton you can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80grit Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have had an iphone for almost two years now. Coming up on my renewal or exit plan. Happy with the phone but I hate ATT and want to switch to Verizon. Curious if anyone has tethered the Droid to their computer? Is it tetherable?

DunerDan Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Its still not as good as the iPhone... But, Verizon is suppose to get it soon, which will pair the best phone with the best network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspadoo Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have it, favorite apps so far are Visual Voicemail and Pandora. Good phone just be careful with the ominous "Butt Dial " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with the phone but I hate ATT and want to switch to Verizon. Curious if anyone has tethered the Droid to their computer? Is it tetherable? From what I understand there is an app to make it tetherable to the computer. I have the Motorola DROID because I like using the keyboard. The more I use this phone the better I like it. The HTC Eris DROID is touch screen only. Verizon has a buy one get one free deal going now until March 16. I ended up getting 2 DROIDs for $99 plus tax. In California they charge sales tax on retail value which is $559.99 each. So it was $99 for the phones and $98 for tax. Also Verizon is good about giving your upgrade to you a little early if you ask them. They let me have mine 3 weeks early so I could take advantage of the promotion.

But, Verizon is suppose to get it soon, which will pair the best phone with the best network I personally would rather have the Droid. I have it, favorite apps so far are Visual Voicemail and Pandora. Good phone just be careful with the ominous "Butt Dial " Check out Slacker Radio, it is similar to Pandora. Also download i music from the apps store. The photobucket app is pretty cool also, you take pictures and it uploads them to Photobucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspadoo Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 There is also a nav cradle I use as soon as you put the phone in it has navagation options but if you use the nav either have a charger or use it sparingly it will kill your battery NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verizon will give you one month early credit each year. So a 2 year contract you can go in for a phone at 22 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 weeks was on top of the 2 months so basically I got mine 3 months early just for asking and yes I signed 2 more 2 year contracts.

Quicksilver Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I was at Verizon yesterday and looked at the DROID. I wasn't impressed with it. I've had Motorolas before and just had too many issues with them. I just got the Samsung Rogue a few months back and am really happy with it. It has a large touchscreen with a sliding, lighted keyboard. On top of that it surfs the net fast and the camera takes good pictures.

mineurbiz Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 im waiting until verizon gets the Iphone Your going to have a wait, if or when it does come out, most reports say it not going to be the same as the one AT&T has, supposed to be a light version, whatever that means.

White Rhino Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Your going to have a wait, if or when it does come out, most reports say it not going to be the same as the one AT&T has, supposed to be a light version, whatever that means. That is because although Verizon has a larger network,(why i have a camp Verizon pay per use, and an I-Phone for normal everyday) it is not as fast and couldn't handle the I-Phone in its current state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakster884 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I traded in my iphone for the droid and i love it is 10 * better than the iphone. Talk to text is 10 * better than any feature on the iphone. I highly recommend the droid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandpirates2 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 :bert: My Company just came out and said that we should be getting the new Sprint 4G EVO4's in the next 60 days. They look like the Droid, and are super fast - saw it at a preshow at Sprints Tech Lab show in NY a few weeks back. They are super fast, clean look.

sandawg Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 My camp mate Rocket has the Droid. He uses it primarillly as his phone only. He hates it. I have an old straight Verizon phone and I can talk at Dumont when he cant. He has to move around to get reception. I think it is a week antenna system. If you need the WIFI end of a phone I guess it works OK> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
