[PhillySteve]

Good day everyone! Just got my Drois Eris this Sunday.. So far I am loving it

 

[AnneDroid]

Just wanted to say hi! Got my droid exactly a week ago and it has been a love hate relationship.

I am wholly unimpressed with the usability of this phone. The physical keypad sucks a big one. The lack of home screens with only 3 is crappy. The lack of physical send and end keys bugs me horribly. And the inability to change most features is disappointing to say the least. :icon_cussing:

This all being said, I have researched all of the current and future phones for Verizon (including the nexus one) and this phone is the best out there. :rating08:

So now I just need to learn how to root. Here we go… :icon_ banana:

Hello! I am a recovering Blackberry Storm & Storm 2 owner. I loved the idea of a touchscreen smartphone. i went through 3 Storms in 1 year, the upgraded to the Storm 2 thinking all the bugs were worked out only to have to have it replaced after 1 week.

I'll have to admit, I was nervous switching to the Droid at first. I thought I'd miss BB. I've had the Droid for 3 weeks and love love LOVE it!

Now that I believe I have everything figured out that I need...the not-so-simple stuff to figure out; rooting, speed dialing, back-ups, etc. (all of which I learned on this forum) I believe this is the best phone I've ever had!

Welcome. Many of us have switched from the Storm, I personally had 11 months of the Storm and 3 weeks with the Storm 2. I probably would still have a Storm 2 but customer service was busy when I came in to return my Storm 2 for the second time and that gave me some time to play with the Droid. When my name was called I said, "Exchange for a Droid please."

35.00 restocking charge was well worth it. I agree, best phone I've ever had. Enjoy the forum let us know if you need help with anything.

Hello all, I am a new user and convert from the Crackberry to the Droid.... I had my BB all tweaked out and running fast and very good and now switched. I am having difficulties with this new os and getting things to work. Thanks in advanced for putting up with my questions(prolly gonna be dumb) and helping out.....

By the way my current problem is that my gtalk will not show new friends, for instance my buddy sent me a invite and I accepted it but now he is not in my friends list>>>>????? this is terrible cause I used bbmsg often and now will totally depend on gtalk but the **** thing is not working. :icon_ devil:

Another New Droid Convert...

Early Morning Everyone, Bert here...

Just got my Droid Eris about a week ago and upgraded with my wife (who got a Motorola Droid in the deal), with both of us coming from an LG EnV. Crazy huh?! Funny thing was that I was pushing for getting smartphones for a couple of months and she always resisted. But one day she saw the ad for the "Buy a Droid, get a Droid Eris Free" promo and that pretty much sealed the deal. LoL. She's starting a new business and having a gmail account as her main email for the business and access to her email and the internet are big advantages as well.

I'm sort of a techno nut, so after about an hour with my new phone - I was already all about it. Going from a phone with just basic texting to this Droid Eris was a huge jump, but it's been a great ride so far. I'm really enjoying finding new apps and always finding ways to "tweak" the phone. l love the personalization I can do on it and can't say enough about this feature. I'm always showing off the phone and what it's capable of doing - quite amazing I must say.

My brother has been a BB guy for a couple of years and I gave him the quick nickel-dime tour of the phone and he's just waiting for his upgrade month now... pretty funny.

Anyways, I'm excited about the forum and looking forward to reading about some great advice and avoiding some pitfalls with both my Droid Eris and my wife's Droid.

Thanks for listening,
Bert

Hello All -

Well, I've have used a Treo for years and I waited a year for the Pre' to come out on Verizon. Once it did I quickly found out that it would not sync properly with our corporate server.(It has major issues with EAS) Anyway, I had heard great things about the droid so I took the pre back and here I am. So far the Droid is far superior to the Pre. It's ashame that a company like PALM who once owned the market for professional type PDA's has missed the mark so badly. I look forward to helping and expecially learning form the forum. Cheers!!!

Introduction

I saw this droid forum and wanted to see what sort of applicatons are available for this smart phone. I have purchased the device and kinda wide-eyed to all the items that it can do. Right now I am looking for a Calendar application that is a little more flexible than the defacto standard issued on the droid. I really liked the calendar from the Sony Clie <sniff> and the standard one really falls short...

Hi, new to the forum. Long time BB user, just switched to the Motorola Droid. Love it, but would love it even more if i could figure out how to use more of the apps.

 

[4minipups]

I am a much lower life form than everyone else, as this is my first smartphone. So far, I really like it, but have not even begun to figure out all the bells and whistles and the things it can do. I joined the forum so I can learn where I can go with this.

 

[Traci]

Hi! This is my first smart phone as well! A lot to learn so I am glad I found this site. It has already helped out with ring tones!

Welcome to both of you! No one is lower than anyone else around here. Some of these guys live and breathe this stuff, and are more than willing to help. Just read the forum, search for what you don't know, and if you can't find it, ask!
