| Yes, I'm hitting the store today or I've ordered online. | |
|---|---|
| Count me in -- just as soon as I can jump ship from my carrier or I'm upgrade eligible. | |
| I'm taking a wait-and-see approach. | |
| I'm happy with what I've got, thanks! | |
| What's DROID? |
10 hours?.. You should have ordered it online. You definitely sound like a newbie to smartphones. Almost all of the new smartphones today do what you said nicely. Keyboard presses and the camrea on the 'Droid' are subpar.
The UI is clean and the device does not suffer performance issues I have faced with other handhelds. The keyboard could be done a little better, but it really seems like it is a matter of opinion. I have to disagree with you, I like its layout and design.
It isn't so much what it can do, as much as how well it does it...(any smartphone, hell even most 'dumbphones' can do messaging) and while I am a bit of a newbie to the whole smartphone arena, I have owned a countless number of PDAs, and even developed for a few of them. From a development perspective, and a usability perspective, the DROID outdoes all of my previous experiences. Development certainly is alot easier, even though I haven't done heavy Java development in the past.
The camera focusing is horrid, although I believe the those issues may be solvable via updates.
