Considering jumping to Droid.

My wife ordered her Motorola Droid at the beginning of the week and has already missed two delivery attempts from fedex and she doesn't get home early enough to go pick it up from them before they close.

Hopefully she will get it tomorrow so I can get some play time with it to see if it's something I might like better than the BB platform. I am not a fan of the keyboard because the keys are too closely grouped together on such a large keyboard surface.  They should have removed the D-pad since it's a touch screen. Not really any reason to have clickable directional buttons when the screen responds to touch, IMO.

The best thing i ever did was upgrade to OS 5.0. I had the same issues and have come to the conclusion that OS 4.7.1.xx is unstable junk. OS 5.0.0.419 is out for almost every carrier anow and I have been using it since it was just a leak. It is solid and I would upgrde ASAP (as soon as you do a backup).

As for your comment about BB letting you decide what apps to start at startup, I agree with you but RIM most likely considers it un-necessary. One of the biggest things that people need to get used to when they switch to BB is that the device has no real OFF switch because it is intended to be running 24/7/365. Yes many users do daily battery pulls (I do one maybe weekly myself unless I am upgrading something) to free up memory, but this is not how it is "supposed to be" with BB's in RIM think.

Im still loving my Droid. Its been like 2, 2 and a half months. Havent even considered looking back. Although I pull my Tour out every once in a while to mess around with. I still like it its style, and keyboard a lot. Ive noticed I cant really type on it as fast anymore.

Now Im already itchy to upgrade to a better Android phone. But Im gonna stick to the Droid for at least a year. I would love to see a phone like Sprints upcoming Evo 4g on Verizon. Ryu, if you decide to make the jump at any point, I think that will be your phone. If you arent familiar with it yet, check it out.

You're defecting BB too?

that sounds so harsh! 

Once my contract is expired on 7/1, I will be most likely moving to Android... bb is great, and overall i have been pretty happy with the Tour. But I do look for other things that bb cant offer right now so I think I have learned a great deal of the bb world... soon it will be time for me to move on..

but i dont see myself as a traitor 

ps. u r welcome to join our sister site! 

I think thats because its open source... so as the OS grows, there are so many changes to keep up with them could be difficult...

With the EVO, I'm accepting this challenge!
