I showed up at my local Verizon store at 5am waiting for my Droid. There were only about 6 of us that got the droid while I was there.

I asked to see it first, and literally after 30 seconds of seeing it, I told the rep. to bag one up for me. I've been playing with it ever since and I can't get enough of this device. I've already gone with my father and 3 other friends to return TP2's (30 day return policy for them) and get the Droid instead. The on screen keyboard is amazing, it works really well, and the physical keyboard is nice also, but I've started to adapt to the on screen.

The speed of this device is unmatched. I don't care what video review users have seen, they don't do this device justice. The weight of the Moto Droid IMO is a plus. The weight makes the device seem very sturdy and well built, not to mention that the frame of the device is metal, not plastic. The screen is vibrant and glass, making for one of the best touch screen experiences I've had yet. The battery door of the device has a texture to it, something like rubber coating giving a good feeling while using one or two handed.

The Android 2.0 OS has won me over. I loved WinMo but the lag and lack of finger friendly menus was a down side. I have yet to mis-select an option with Android 2.0. Unlike Apple, the 12,000+ apps for Android are actually useful, and not 1,000 copies of "Ordering from Pizza Hutt."

All of my contacts were stored in Outlook, which raised a bit of concern for me when it came to syncing them to the Moto Droid. It was really just a simple process of exporting them to CSV file, and importing them to my new Gmail account, all of which was done from my PC, and not having to connect the Droid to my computer. Call quality is crisp and clear, and the data speeds are everything I wanted when using the mobile browser. Google voice is great for finding local establishments or anything I've needed so far in testing and practicality.

I have connected the Moto Droid to my Windows 7 x64 Professional desktop and moving files to the memory card was simple and easy, not having to use any of the Windows Mobile sync software. The transfer of pictures, music, and other data went smooth and quickly.

I've been reading that the Google devs. have been listening to users complaints about the lack of ability to save apps to the SD card, and it seems like they are working on a simple patch to allow it, rather than having to root the device. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do the best I can to answer them. I paid the full $559 for the device, and still feel it was worth every penny.
