Droid is pretty cool, but its a brick compared to the Nexus One. I liked the idea of the Droid having the keyboard, but its not as great as I thought it would be. I got my Nexus for free and am glad I waited otherwise I'd be stuck w/ the Droid right now and i'd be out a good 3-4 bills.

Pinch Zoom Update
same here, i never use the keyboard. the screen keyboard is pretty good.
i use the keyboard only for games
on the other note, for those who want pinch zoom on your browser, download dolphine browser.

I'm not sure if this applies to the Droid, but just recently in the past week or so there was an update for the Nexus One where pinch zoom works on the regular browser as well now... not just the Dolphin Browser. So you can either pinch zoom in/out or double tap for zoom on the Nexus... in essence it should work for the Droid, but have not confirmed it. Only reason I note this is b/c the Dolphin Browser wasn't supported for certain aps and actually seemed to be slower than the regular browser in fetching pages, attachments etc.
i guess they'll wait until android 2.1

at&t has no android phones and when they do they will be getting this piece of work... or should i say gem?
the keyboard flips around so that it's facing out and always exposed. what a lousy design to have the keyboard as the "back plate" when the phone is closed.
this whole motoblurr crap completely ruins the concept behind Android. it's like buying a dell with all these preloaded bull**** programs.

yeah it's practically useless.. I have no idea how to post a picture or video to the wall. The iphone made it so simple. And if someone comments on my photo I can only view the photo not the comments lol.
