Cell phones - Verizon Droid

[143julz]

LOVE THE DROID, had it for over a month....Touch screen takes a bit of getting use to from having the LG ENV....I miss the actual "buttons"..

Love the app's, bigger screen...

Because of touch screen, sometime during a call my earring will activate the screen and I'll hear it dialing away...ugggh
I can't feel the BUTTONS, so i can't dial without looking at the screen, make s it difficult while driving

But all in all COOL phone, still getting use to it

I had the Moto Droid but then vaught wind that the Incredible was coming out and returned the Droid The Incredible is suposed to be better, faster , etc.... even has an 8 meg camera on it!

I've been a BB user for years. Love BB but I need something faster, better browser and more toys

Crackberry and other sites are saying the Incredible is the phone to get!

the Moto Droid is the Motorola Droid, it's under Verizon's service and it has a slide out keyboard along with a touch screen.

Thank you for clearing this up.

I was also looking at the Droid Ally model...it looks like just about everything the incredible except skype-which doesn't mean anything for me- and it has a smaller screen.

I'm going to try and get to the verizon store over the weeknd to see and touch the phones. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out what's what.

I am really looking for a phone that I can text easily - I have the old style phone now where I have to go thru each letter 3 or 4 times to get the letter I want . I would also like to get a phone that I can access and send email. I am not sure if I would surf with my phone but from what I'm hearing, I still have to get the data package in order to have email-is that right?

Hubby has a blackberry (his crackberry, I call it, lol) and only uses it for email so he may be wasting the money ($29.99/mo) he paying every month. But at the same time, he said that if he could see the screens, he might surf web with his phone.

Verizon has a deal right now, BOGO on the Droid. Any Droids users out there? Thanks in advance.

I went to the Verizon store to pay my bill, and I was playing with the Droid, and I personally didnt like it. If you are a texter its hard to text! You go to push a F and it hits the O button.. I would go to the store and play with the phones to see what you like

I have the Envy 2 and I love it!! They also have the Envy touch. my SIL has that one and I love that one too, I think I am going to get that one next. OH and the camera on it is the BEST!!

Thanks, hubby decided that he wouldn't like that type of keypad. He had the bb storm and wound up returning it for that reason. definitely going to try and get to the store to see them.

[Mom to Hot Rod]

thanks--that's where I usually go for anything. I was dealing with a local dealer here but it wound up being more expensive!

I am so glad you posted about this. I also have the BB curve and love that it is pink. I sure hate to upgrade and lose my pinkberry. I saw that they are offering an extra $50 off on the droid Incredible and was thinking about getting that. I posted on FB and several said the touch screen gets dirty and can be a little hard to get used to. I like my buttons but i sure would like to upgrade to a faster model with a better camera. It is all so confusing with all the models. Guess i need to run by the store and play with it first.

I have had my Droid for a little over a month, and I love it. I upgraded from a Voyager (that I loved). It took some getting used to at first. My biggest problem I was
putting my phone on mute and thinking it was having problems when no one could hear me (lol). Texting is almost like the Voyager, it has a slide out key board. I cannot use the touch screen to text. I like the huge memory, speed, and the ability to surf the internet just like on my computer. I am using it right now.
