|
| I bought a Motorola Droid on December 16, 2009, my first smartphone. The reasons I ultimately bit the bullet:
| | Poor man's [[Evernote]] -- my kind of tool. Using it with [[Notational Velocity]] right now. |
|
| |
|
| * Available on Verizon. I was never compelled to switch from Verizon, even though there were things about them I found extremely annoying, because their coverage is good and their rates are low.

| * Data plan is worth the additional cost as backup Internet, especially since you can tether a Droid without too much trouble.
| |
| * The [[Android]] operating system, which is open source.
| |
| * The GPS features. I'm enamoured by location-aware computing.
| |
|
| |
|
| I had considered waiting for some of the HTC phones that are in the horizon, but those won't be available for several months. The Droid has a beautiful screen, and even though the keyboard isn't as good as the Blackberry, I found it more compelling than touch screens.

| I'm pleased with the hardware, with the exception of the battery life. I got a GPS dock for my car, and I'm considering the multimedia dock, even though it's overpriced, simply because it would give me another charger.

| | |
| I'm not thrilled with [[Android]], but I'm satisfied. I'm hopeful that 2.1 will see considerable improvements in the user interface.
