Droid does.......not

[fordnfishin]

How about just plugging it into your pc and having it give you options immediately like internet sharing, wifi routing, sd mounting, device perusing and syncing with outlook. I know they google kept the os clean and simple but it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to flash hspl and a new rom to my old apache 4 years ago, it took me 2 hours nearly to figure out how to backup, root, and flash 2.1 on this bad boy. I don't think I'm retarded?

All I want is for Motorola to stop giving the Milestone better updates than the Droid. The multitouch browser, multitouch gallery, and system EQ are present in the Milestone but to get them in the Droid, you have to go through a bunch of steps. I'm not even sure why the Milestone gets better updates especially since many more Droid units were sold.

I did not know about the system EQ...now that's something I would really like to have! Even though the stock sound out of the Droid is the best I have heard from any mobile device so far, my new headphones are a little lacking in the bass sometimes and it would be nice to be able to bump that up just a tad. Have you seen instructions somewhere for installing the Milestone EQ on the Droid?

To get the system EQ, we have to wait for the dump of the Milestone's latest software update. I've been constantly checking here http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=1604&start=0 and hoping that it will cbe ported soon.

Has anyone noticed the call log bug?

Let me clarify, I have two of these, one bone stock and one likely as tricked as any.

Coming from a fully tricked out winmo, these make me wonder if they actually tried using these before releasing them.

I dont want to have to do triple back flips to attach other than jpegs to email

I dont want to have to see 10 gigs worth of thumbnails when attaching a picture to an email, wouldnt be so bad if it had a positive scroll but better would be for it to see that all those pix are in albums.

Maybe its just me but it sure seems to be seriously crippled in some ways I think ate quite reasonable to take for granted.

Bizarre in many ways but I do enjoy the seriously massaged one, lightning fast.

Just too much work and wtf kinda stuff they should have handled before deciding its ready to market.

I think I'll get another and try making it like ubunto with firefox.

There are a lot of things that make me go "hmmm" ... and I wonder who to blame. VZW/Moto/Google?
There are a bunch of things that are not intuitive and other things people take for granted that are just not included. There are a few things that just can't be done or can't be done without "hacking/tweaking", but most of those are insignificant to the masses.

But being able to attach files to email or gmail is one example of something anyone would naturally expect to be able to do and one of the things that I "wonder who to blame". If you simply install the free OI File Manager from the Market, then when you go to attach something you will then have the option to browse Gallery or OI File Manager. So why weren't things like this pre-installed by Moto/VZW/Google?

The thing that bothers me more than anything else is its total lack of fully syncing to any email system other than gmail. When I got the phone I figured I'd just switch to gmail, but I hate gmail. You shouldn't have to change your email just to be able to use it on your phone. So I end up using my hotmail and having to delete the same messages every time i sit at my computer or check on line.

You should reconfigure the account setting on the Droid to use the IMAP4 protocol (instead of POP3 which it sounds like you are using presently) so that the changes you make on the phone will reconcile with the mailbox (meaning you wont have to delete the same messages every time you go to your webmail.)
