Any Verizon users pick up the new Droid?

How's the processor speed of the Droid? The MyTouch is PAINFULLY slow. I'm also curious to see the LCD quality as this seems to be where the iPhone trumps all competitors.

I have a Droid since launch day. The thing is amazingly fast. No stutters or lag 99% of the time evne when i'm doing a lot.

I have zero complaints about the phone.

I recall this from my other thread. I too got it at launch, I was there as soon as they opened at 7am because I had to work at 9. And they even gave me a cool little bag. Please tell me you got the Invisible Shield for it!? If not go to Best Buy and shell out the ~$20 for it NOW.

And are you used to the keyboard yet? I hit the send arrow button instead of the delete button when using the physical keyboard a lot.

Does the Droid or the HTC TP2 have a screen as nice as the iPhone? I'm not talking resolution, because from what I saw of the HTC TP2, it was beautiful looking, making my iPhone screen look like NES compared to PS3. Okay, that may have been a bit exaggerated.

But I'm referring to the use of a glass screen. I don't know what the iPhone screen is made of, but I've been using it without a screen protector because I'm still searching for that "perfect" screen protector. And so far, it has zero scratches on it. It sits in my back pocket for the most part of its life.

While I'm on that topic, can anyone recommend a screen protector that doesn't feel like plastic film? I like how my finger glides across the screen without extra friction.

I didn't get the invisible shield, because people have done tests with the phone and they can't even scar the glass shield using a razorblade or the sharp edge of their keys. Its plenty durable by itself, I'd rather get something to protect the bezel.

The droid has a higher resolution/pixel density than any phone currently on the market. Which means it's nicer than the iPhone. (and yes side by side, the droid blow away the iphone display imo)

No shit? I didn't look into that I just went with an Invisible Shield out of habit. Thanks for the info. And yeah, I got one of those bulky foam shock guards from the Verizon store as a temporary solution to protect the bezel. Such a great phone man.

The way Apple designs their hardware and software to look so good together is what makes the iPhone screen so good. The endless pursuit of aesthetics is really all it is. The resolution is NOT that good. My curve has a higher screen resolution in 1/2 the space, aka twice the pixel density. Thus making it a clearer screen, however the iPhone screen gets the job done well for what it is and the OS is designed to work with that resolution so it looks perfect. Android must work on lots of resolutions...

I am having high hopes for the new Samsung 'droid on Sprint.

Are you guys talking about the MILESTONE? The droid is a lineup of phones but I'm assuming everyone is talking about the DROID branded one on the commercials..

I would wait for the DROID ERIS. Its gonna have the 1ghz Snapdragon processor in it.
And some of you guys need to read more before posting so-called educated opinions.
Otherwise, Android is here to stay. The VZW network should perform well with them. So IMO, none of them will be bad pickups.

Kruzen and I speak of the Motorola Droid. Some others are throwing around the HTC Droid Eris.

I just feel like saying this again, Apple is the most over-rated technology company to ever exist. They have the most brilliant marketing department, OF ALL TIME.
