Thinking about getting the droid
Hey guys. How's it going?
I have currently the htc tp2 on vzw. I got the omnia 2 on dec 2 and took it back last night. Some stuff I didn't like and to me it wasn't that impressive for $520 as I have to pay retail. So I have the tp2.
I was thinking about selling my tp2 for the droid but I am so picky I'm not sure if I'd like the droid much. So I am hoping you guys would be willing to help me with info and stuff. So I'll start with how I use the device and things I hope for etc.
First I have an iPod touch and my fav thing is how smooth the ui is. How awesome safari is at scrolling zooming and formatting pages. It scrolls smooth and pinch zoom is smooth and nice. Pages look good and double tapping to zoom works good too. I love the you tube app and how it integrates with safari so if you click on a you tube link from a site it loads the video player and it's awesome you can sometimes bookmark the vids and stuff. The onscreen keyboard is great for my big thumbs and auto correction works awesome too. I love the cut and paste through the system too.
So those are some concerns and questions I have. With the droid can it do the above and stuff?
Can you download anything from the web onto the storage part of the droid? Can you transfer to and from mac and pc? I'll say I know I will forget some stuff to ask.
How can you play avi, mpeg, mp3, wma, wmv etc on the droid?
Can you install custom roms? Themes/make the ui look different?
Can you browse yer store like you can in winmo and open, delete move copy etc?
Does google nav work good with it's voice turn by turn and stuff? Is there any video of it online somewhere so I could see it in action?
Can you connect the USB to car cd player USB and play music or use the headphone Jack?
Will the marketplace let you download to sd card or the storage part so not to use up the built in ram or whatevr it is. Some phones only have like a very small space for installs. I would install everything to sd card or storage space.
Will it be possible to sort marketplace apps based on size or price or popularity and stuff? Is it possible to only see English in marketplace?
I text, www and would gps with droid. Like to play videos on it streaming from pc or mac. Can you? Can you talk to yer droid and it type out text for you? Like speech to text? Can you speech to text with google maps/nav so you can tell it what to search or an address you are going to?
How is wifi on droid? My omnia 2 was crud always disconnecting the wifi. Can you enable wifi to be on when you turn on yer droid and keep it on always?
Will you be able to update to new versions of android like 3.0 etc?
Can you doubletap zoom in the web browser?
I'll stop with this for now. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Thanks guys
