Seems to me it would be like a EnV2 keyboard size. Im heading in to my local store today after work to check it out. I dont like cheap feeling phones; neither does my bf. He's more interested in the name and Lucas licensing.

I like quality. However, maybe the OS will make the Moto hardware worthwhile.

Twins, if the Droid you have has a plastic screen then it is a prototype. The Droid screen I spied last night being broken by a drunken fool was glass. He even cut his hand on the broken bits of glass, I cleaned up his mess and 86ed his drunken a$$ from my bar. It was quite a site to see a grown man cry over his broken,new device. My point though is that it is glass.
Some of the comparisons you make are of devices that are not smartphones. While there are better components in other phones I think we should keep the comparisons in the same phone class (smartphones).
The Moto Droid is not for everyone, and certainly Google will scare the Chicken Little's of the world, but it is a step in the right direction. Future renditions of Android will bring it on par with the Jesus Phone. Besides, check out the Sense UI on the HTC Eris, it solves some of the problems you mention and adds multi-touch to the mix.

2ndly---- I don't believe that I have EVER been on the Android forums.... let alone stirring **** there......get your facts straight.
I never said I don't like the Android platform, I said that the keyboard on the Moto was reallt crappy and cheap feeling........I really enjoyed the Eris.
What does 86ing anyone from the bar have to do with anything?
At you...... Quite frankly, my pearl, and the entire pearl line in general, are gigantic pieces of crap. I wish I didn't have one, but I am not due for an upgrade until March, and for the price of full retail on some of these phones, I think I will stick with what I have for 5 more months.
I am not quite sure how my current phone discredits my opinions of the other phones?
Never said the Droid as a whole was crap. Just the keyboard. have you used one? If you have you know how disappointing that keyboard is when you look at the rest of the phone.Last edited by Jim from NW Pa; 11-07-09 at 12:03 PM.

And I can't believe that someone would take such offense to someone calling your phone crap, unless you were the designer

Really, calling something crap is pretty definitive and final. It could be better so could the S2, iphone etc.11-07-09 12:35 PM - Oh well, polycarbonate is certainly better than plain old plastic. While polycarbonate is considered a plastic, it is also considered bullet proof, but may scratch easily.
If you think polycarbonate isnt as good as glass, you probably think our U.S. currency is better than paper.
You are right about it the Moto Droid being ugly as sin.11-07-09 02:08 PM
