User comments:

"I wanted an iPhone bad, and finally gave up waiting for it to come to Verizon. Got a Droid and am very happy with it. "

"The screen is awesome - bigger than an iPhone's and more dense with pixels, so images are very sharp. The colors are great, and the screen is nice and bright."

"Loading music and photos onto the Droid is as easy as dragging and dropping files from your computer to a thumb drive."

"This is a great Verizon smart phone, possibly the best. The voice search works brilliantly. It's unbelievably good. The GPS is great. The Droid development platform seems decent. I especially like the Droid's full exchange support."

"CON's:
- Power hungry device gulps battery life
- Touch screen is extremely sensitive
- Bluetooth/headset voice dialing unavailable
- Heavy (5.9 ounces)
- Lacks physical direct dial/end buttons
- A little buggy
- Short USB charging cable
- Included microSD card is Class 2"

"Really nice. Big screen that is easy to read. Some good features the iPhone doesn't have, like the keyboard. Lots of software options, with a lot more free options than what I've found on iPhone. Hopefully that continues. Very fast. Like the iPhone, the worst part of this thing is the phone itself. Not bad, just not great compared to the rest of it. If you're just looking for a phone, this may be (and probably is) more than you need. If you like the gadgetry though, there is a lot here. It is up there with the iPhone and will hopefully make both of them better, thanks to the competition."

"As a PDA/Google Appliance this phone is awesome. As a phone it sucks. None of my friends or family are able to hear me speak, I'm either muffled, shrill, or echoing. No, it's not because I have a cover over the phone mic. Yes, I've tried switching the encoding. I've got degrees in software engineering and electronics. I know how to troubleshoot and have made many test calls to different answering machines in attempts to characterize and correct the issue. Maybe Motorola had some good early builds of the phone, but the latest are lousy phones. I hope the correct the problems, at which point I would rate the phone a five."

Here's the "Droid" commercial in case you just want to see it again for fun!
