i really hope this doesnt squash the droid because my ego just cant taking having a number 2 phone
Squash the Droid? They're both running the same operating system, the success of one Android phone benefits every other android phone as well.
This looks like a small upgrade from the Droid, nothing major though. In another couple months there will be something even better than this phone available too. A smart-phone is a mini-PC, in the PC industry there's always something newer and better out in a few months.
I don't understand why anyone would "jump ship" though, that's just wasting money. I'll get a new phone when my 2 years are up.
