Any Verizon users pick up the new Droid?

The gps is awful. It is yet to get me within a mile of my actual location. I called Verizon to see if there is a way to callibrate it. They said no. It must be a common complaint as they offered to cancel my contract with no penalty and fully refund my equipment cost. I'm thinking of doing it and just getting an iPhone. Their internet is way faster and the phone is incredibly more intuitive.

Wow really? Mine works perfectly. I used it as a GPS instead of my Garmin while my Garmin was on mute and it was exact. I use it in Connecticut and Rhode Island with perfect accuracy. Even when I go for a run on my local bike trails it is perfect because I used an app called "cardio trainer" that records distance, route taken, and speed.

do you have the droid or the droid eris?

i have the eris.

regular droid is a bit too bulky for me, and would cost too much money

Droid. This thread was seemingly *meant* for the Motorola Droid, not the Droid line, although it turned into that.

I just ordered the Droid, should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Should I bother with the screen protector they offer?

Anyone heard anything good about the Sprint - Samsung Moment - Droid Phone?

Im thinking about picking one up

http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASAp...SKU=SPHM900ZKA

i bought one last week

lots of apps, its running cupcake, or donut, or whatever food thing they brand on it. (ver.1.5)

best screen evar
slideout qwerty keyboard has a weird layout, but you'll get used to it quickly.
amazing phone, i love it way more than my BB. and with it being opensource, it can constantly be developed/customized/whatever you want with it.

+999999 on google android.
+9 for the samsung moment on sprint. lol. gay part is the mail in rebate. you're gonna have to pony up 3hundo to buy the phone, but mail in a 100 off rebate...

which droid?

another goof from moto..designed to cause endless confusion. screen looks awesome but form factor is off. keyboard is so so with the flat keys. OS needs some polish but i'm sure google will come through on that. Even thinking about signing up with verizon gives me hives, i haven't done business with them in over 10 years and don't intend to. i'll stick to the iphone. works for me. all you verizon fans can look forward to this : http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...n_q3_2010.html

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.

this happens to much.

seriously considering dropping the coin for a full retail Droid to replace my Storm (1).

add a line then cancel one, it will be cheaper

is your gps on? make sure your not using the cell triangulation.

Depends on the ETF, as well as increased monthly bills, so the "savings" might not be that much, if at all.

so is it worth me paying the extra $30 a month fr it?
