Sorry about the bad info on the Bold Howie, thought Verizon picked that one up by now but see its still just AT&T and T Moblie.

Please post all your impressions on how the Droid works for you I'm very interested in this phone. Wish it had pinch and squeeze like the Iphone but maybe the keyboard makes up for it. I have heard negative comments on its keyboard so far but havent been able to get my hands on one as of yet....reo

Reo you can double tap on the screen to increase size and double tap after to reduce. Once you do the first double tap a "+ -" bar will appear and you can use that to increase screen size more (at least this is how it works in the browser). The keyboard is a challenge especially for large fingers... but I'm getting better.

Pullout keypad is not bad, again I have large hands and getting more used to it each day. Most problem I have is w/the top row that has the least bit of room to fit fingers. Touch screen I'm getting used to tapping, dragging, and holding on apps/icons to do different things. Never had a BB, I'm coming from a Palm phone.... keep reaching to the top of the phone for a stylus.

What I've found out about the Droid is there is no manual... you have to learn on the fly which was a little intimidating to begin with. I found a forum today that has helped a lot in figuring stuff. I've never owned an Iphone, but after seeing those that have I think the Droid works similar. One thing I really like is how it interfaces with Gmail... all your contacts, calendar information is streamed to your phone (requires having a gmail email account to set up phone)... it also links to Facebook with your contacts. Any contacts that you have that are on facebook and you have them in your contact list the same way as their facebook account it will pull the picture from facebook as an icon for that contact.

One thing I never liked about the BB's and what had kept me from getting one for a long time was the thumbwheel.. however those that use have them and are used to them swear by them.

Check out on line at =http://www.motorola.com/support/droid. this has a few choices and this link [this has a few choices and this linkhttp://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/US-EN/Mobile%20Phones/DROID-by-Motorola/US-EN/Documents/Static-Files/DROID_UG_Verizon_68000202474a.pdf where I believe I  got my manual.  It is much more detailed than what came with the phone.

The more I use my DROID, the more I really like it.  The navigator works great in Houston...

Couldn't get the link to work either, but I have found a Droid forum that has been very helpful. Learning more and more stuff everyday and liking the phone even more.

Yep, that's the one I found and put the link in my previous post... shame they don't give you one when you buy the phone. I'm going to print out the first 48 pages (English) tomorrow. Thanks.
