For the record, I was being sarcastic. You know, how stereotypically, males of my age are, to use your own fitting phrase, all about pissing contests amongst each other. I have no personal need or drive to outdo others' possessions. In fact, this phone is the first time in my life I've ever owned the newest, techiest, hot thing out there. Normally, I'm the type to save and bargain shop for months, and then get a cheaper, less feature-rich item because it will still do what I need it to and I can spend the extra money elsewhere. But I travel alot and was thinking of buying a portable gps. At the same time, I was eligible for my NE2 and my old phone was on its last legs so I decided a new phone with gps killed two birds with one stone, not to mention giving me crazy easy access to my e-mail, websites, research info and other stuff I need/use for school daily. And since I wasn't willing to change carriers or get an unrestricted phone, the Droid fit the bill perfectly.
