This is a great device: wonderful high-resolution screen, lots of built-in functionality, lots of third party applications, good voice quality. The GPS is fast and accurate.
The
Droid is particularly nice to use with Google's services: you can sync your calendar, E-mail, contacts, photos, and other content with Google. There is also support for many other online services and E-mail providers.
There are some issues with it: the keys on the keyboard are flat, making them hard to type on despite actually being quite large for a cell phone; the device is fairly heavy; the camera isn't all that great; and battery life is fairly limited. But these are similar to other current generation smart phones.
I ditched my iPhone for this and the natural question is: how does it compare? Apple locks down the iPhone very tightly and they try to control what you can and cannot do (probably to help their other businesses). There are classes of applications that Apple simply will not approve, so you don't have an alternative but using Apple's software; if that doesn't work for you, tough. On the Droid, you can pretty much install what you like, and there are plenty alternatives to the built-in apps. The iPhone also really likes to be used in connection with a desktop machine for syncing, and if you don't use iTunes, you lose out on some functionality. The Droid, on the other hand, happily lives in the cloud; you don't need to connect it to a PC ever.
There are some apps from the iPhone that I miss. The iPhone also is lighter and slimmer. But on the whole, I'm a lot happier with the Droid than I was with the iPhone.
