Another Droid Post
By now, you probably realize that I love my Droid. Via insty, it knocked iPhone out of top spot in Time Magazine’s Gadget of the Year.
Meanwhile, CNET calls it for the iPhone. You know, so long as you don’t need it to be a phone.
Also, I recently got Google Voice and it is amazing on the Droid. Here’s a handy how to.
And here’s a list of essential apps from gizmodo.

With the exception of one night when I had trouble connecting, I’ve not run into any problem’s with my iPhone here in DC, in Chicago, or in Atlanta. It even worked when I was out in the middle of bum fuck nowwhere in North Central South Dakota pheasant hunting (and posting to my face book account pictures of the hunt).
I figured it was a NY or SF problem, but this last weekend in New York City, and throughout Northern Jersey, I had no problems with the iPhone either.

That pretty much describes me—and I think a lot of people these days. I hate talking on the phone, and I’d be surprised if I used 100 minutes a month. So the iPhone is perfect for me.
That being said, I haven’t had any problems with my phone—it seems to work fine for me—although a few of my friends definitely get a lot of dropped calls.

Guav has a great point. I used to get pissed when I’d attempt to call my wife only to find out she left her phone at home. Of course it sucks that I can’t reach her, but I also see a cell phone as a very important piece of safety equipment. Now that she has an iphone it’s more than just her phone, it’s an entertainment center, and so when I call, she answers.

The only problem with these phones being so much fun to use for all kinds of stuff at any time; your battery is dead when you want to make a call…

Did you hear about the Google Phone?

Uncle you are an evil man. Last week i had no idea what a Droid was. now i have to have one. i talked the wife into getting me one for Christmas. now i have to show her how cool it is so that she’ll get one so we can sinchronize our shopping lists. now that i am married, i find that shopping for food has become much more difficult as i am always forgetting something that she wants. OurGroceries will solve that little problem.

(IMHO cellphone batteries are like magazines or guns. 2 is one and 1 is none)
