Oh, how I want to love this phone. But, alas, I'll probably end up exercising my 30-day worry-free option. I've been a smartphone user for a long time and my Moto Droid is really not impressing me. Like I said, I really WANT to like it but it just sucks in so many ways. First, there's the issue the OP brought up. Mine also will occasionally ring through the earpiece, not the speaker on the back (I've missed several calls because I couldn't hear the phone ringing). The voice search is sketchy--sometimes amazingly accurate, other times total crap. The battery life is a joke. The GUI is sooo lame and plain and inflexible. I know there will be custom roms at some point, but boy is mine laggy and buggy and ugly and not fun.

On the other hand, the web browser is awesome and quick. Amazing resolution allows viewing entire width of web pages with ease. Love the sharpness of this screen BUT... the colors and brightness are poor compared to others. My Omnia has much better color and brightness. Even my wife's HTC Droid Eris has better color and brightness (but her battery life is worse than the Moto Droid).

There. I got it out of my system. I'm wearing my flame resistant suit so let 'er rip.

The ringing/notification speaker problem is known to Verizon. I'm on my third Droid. As soon as I described my problems to TS they immediately advised to exchange for another one or sit on it until Dec. 11 fix...
