For those about to defect to Droid (or android)

[Stevenlomb]

I went to VZW to play with all the new toys. I had fun, but walked away. Maybe Moto will make a thinner droid without the keyboard? Just for us? I don't hear much talk about the Imagio, but it seemed kinda nice, as did the Eris. In the end, I left there thinking that my Omnia is still a decent piece of hardware. And thanks to all the great chefs, the software keeps getting better and better! (I'm hangin' around for WinMo7)

My decked out Omnia just got 175 on ebay. Someone was really lucky though. Probably didn't know what hit him when he opened that box. "What? no Samsung widgets????" lol
Well, living with the Droid, I can tell you, yes I do love it a LOT. I REALLY miss getting into the inside and messing around like I did on my Omnia. I downloaded a file explorer app to try out. Sucked. But in a way, after tweeking every other day (Omnia), it's kind of nice to do other things for a change. And I'm getting WAY more sleep.

Are you serious??? 175??? Holy crap!

BTW guys, not sure if you know, but Dell just opened up a new online mobile store, and guess what they are selling the Droid for if you want to do the upgrade through them??

119 baby! 80 bucks off! Tell me that ain't a deal!

i just sold my onmia for 160.00 + 15.00 shipping. so i guess either this phone is in demand on ebay, or i dunno what. lol but still either way i did pretty well considering i got it brand new for 250 back in Feb 08

Anyone hear the rash of problems on the Moto Droid. Apparently the speakers are popping for no reason. Just blowing out. That is enough to hold off on the Moto or look at the HTC Droid.

Where have you read that? You'd think if it was a real problem it would have been mentioned by now on one of the many gadget sites I follow...
