I knnow why my Droid's eye is RED

Because it stands for Red Eye of Death!

I had the Hero for a month and end of the first week I was on a business trip and I power cycled the phone and when it came up it said no service and multiple power cycles later the cell service would not connect and I would get tons of force close errors for the background processes.
I happened to be near a best buy so i stopped in and looked up a hard reset. After hard reset it was fine. Over the following 3 weeks I got maybe 1 spontaneous reset a week, which was troubling but I attributed it to the system restarting to clear out memory to update apps or something, although there obviously should be a dialog to inform you of that.. Other than that the Hero performed excellent.

For the last 4 days on the droid it has performed well but i get about 2 spontaneous resets a day and this morning i got an email from someone who I emailed last night where the email they receieved from me was full of about 2 pages of alpha characters that didnt make sense. I clicked reply and flipped out the keyboard and as it went to landscape the screen blanked and rebooted then the eye came up and never went away. Several battery pulls and 15-30 mins of staring at the eye I felt like I was back on my POS Touch Pro and I wanted to throw the effer out the window. 200 apps on my Ipod Touch 2g used extensively by my 3 & 5 yr old and I and never a freeze, reboot or hard reset. WTF

Exchange it. From what I have read some of the phones had a rebooting issue. Mine did so I exchanged it on Sunday and it hasn;t reset once since.

Mine rebooted and flicked also plus I had a bad headphone jack. VZ exchanged no problem. Haven't had one issue since. FLAWLESS!

Get it exchanged. The first phone Verizon activated for me had the reboot issue right in the store. They exchanged it and have not had any issues since.

I don't know about "ALL THE TIME," but my iPhone is definitely not without lockups.

I just cant get over the bad experiences I had with the Touch Pro 1 which permanently drove me away from Winmo. With the Hero, Eris and Droid I just love the battery life. I can go out and about all day and night use it more than normal and not worry about the battery running out, whereas many times I would put the TP in my pocket and do nothing at all and within the hour i would feel a hot phone in my pocket and it would have low batt warining abd beep every 30 secs even after dismissing the alert. I also tried literally hundreds of custom roms over a year. Android 2.0 or 1.5 w/sense still has it's issues, but it is light years better than winmo 6.5 and the crappy gaggle of apps available for it....

BTW have had my replacement droid for a few days with same software installed and no reboots at all.

Hoping HTC passion is released before Dec 11th!

Yep! I'm absolutely lovin this Droid, and the Passion would have to be mega awesome to make me give up the google navigation, but it would be stupid to not at least check it out in the store if it comes out before my 30 days is up with the Droid.
