Verizon already prepping DROID and DROID Eris firmware updates? {Engadget}
Nov 10th 2009 1:57PM Ouch! Mine has been great. The only crappy thing is the camera, but I dont really use it anyways.
Try going to a VZW store. My local ones have always been good to me when I get a new phone and it has problems. They will normally swap it out.
Poll: Will the DROID have you in its clutches? {Engadget}
Nov 6th 2009 12:18PM I almost bought one last night, since my Versa was acting up. However, they were able to get me back up and running, so Im holding off on the Droid (or another VZW Android phone) for another month or something.

Nov 1st 2009 11:20PM Ive got a Versa, and its actually a pretty good phone. The interface is better than the Dare and as a concept, the keyboard/other stuff is kinda cool.
Of course, I bought it refurbished and it didnt come with a keyboard, so I have never used one of the addons...
Motorola DROID user guide unearthed in its entirety {Engadget}
Oct 29th 2009 11:43PM One, VZW has the strongest US network. Thats a big deal.
Two, android is open source, with a lot of possibilities.
Three, we already have seen some killer apps (see new google navigation app).
Four, iPhone does not not have a real keyboard. It has virtual. Droid has both.
Moving parts... Eh But the Droid does have a better camera, and will be the first phone on VZW to run Android. And its going to do it well.

From what it sounds, Barnes & Noble will have a book store as well. Which is great. I would assume it would be just as complete as Amazon's.

Sep 19th 2009 12:25AM Actually, you could easily use this for "hardcore" work. Very easily.
Build your P45/775 machine like you normally would. Put a couple gigs of RAM in the Atom/ION side.
Game on your P45/775 machine. Run a light server on the Atom/ION portion.
When you are done gaming, you shutdown the heavy portion, leaving the Atom/ION portion in tact. Keep in mind the extremely low power usage of the Atom. You could cut your CPU load immensely on the 775 side, and you would still be using more power than the Atom.
I basically do a similar thing right now, its just not all on one board. I have my main desktop that I use for heavy work and gaming, a netbook that I use for lightweight work and web browsing, and a couple home servers. For the longest time, I was running my torrents off of my desktop, and that was just a pain. Heat output, power usage, etc. Add the Atom based servers. Now my desktop is actually 100% off when Im not using it. Add in the netbook, and I use the desktop even less.
This setup would allow me to effectively ditch my Atom servers and save space, which is always a huge pro.
