possible new droid owner

[tvandyck7]

I switched from the TP2 (pretty much the same as an Imagio) to the Droid and have NO regrets. The Droid makes both the TP2 and Imagio look and feel like little toy dinosaurs. This thing is so far ahead of any WinMo phone it's rediculous. You won't even look back if you switch once you learn how it use it.

I'm also thinking of what "Droid does" as I'm eligible to upgrade on January 28th. I'm more worried about what "Droid doesn't". I've read alot of the other posts that indicate many of my existing programs have a Droid equivalent available, although without a handset I can't access the Android Market to see what exactly is available. Which is making the decision difficult. My other choice is sticking with WinMo and going with the TP2, although, deep down, I know that Android seems to be the wave of the future.

I have only noticed a few shortcomings on the driod, and from what I have learned so far these will be overcome as more apps/roms/programming is done and more is learned about the true capabilities of the droid. I really need to get off my bum and start programming and maybe I can make this baby do what I really want (so far I have been too lazy and too busy looking at what others have/are doing). I seriously doubt anyone could regret going with the droid in long run. My boys are so in love with mine, only downside is now they all want their own (I SO can't afford all those dataplans right now lmao). No way they would go with iphone or any other phones currently out there over a droid (I think I have raised them properly so far :P ).

I was told by the rep at Verizion that Yahoo is hard to push to Android platforms due to some legal dispute or something like that. He recommended setting up a Gmail account and having Yahoo forwarded through the Gmail which could be picked up on the phone. Sounds washy to me.

It's nothing to do with a dispute. Yahoo doesn't provide access outside of webmail unless the user pays for the 'Mail Plus' account which is $20 a year.

Now, I've seen people get away with it for a day or two... but then it stops working. I think this is just a courtesy to allow people to back up their data once in a while. If they completely blocked the download they would get a bad rep pretty fast.

Yahoo has always been that way which is why I no longer use yahoo. I don't like to be told what I can/can't do

I dont have anything to add on any rumored legal issues with Yahoo, but forwarding to gmail is how I handle my Hotmail account for the Droid and it works fine for me.
