Everything about this phone is great. For a 15 year old it has good beneifts. I know what people are thinking why does a 15 year old has a business phone? Well I actually got it for my present. I myself is very hardworking and is in a club in High School known as FBLA. I ALWAYS get updates and invited from my club. It also makes me aware of event and conferences at school. ITS very handy. I love it a lot. THE QWERTY KEBOARD IS GREAT FOR A BIG HANDED GUY LIKE ME. YOU adapt to it.





love it
Touchscreen needs an update. Camera issues will be resolved

Best phone on the best NETWORK... what else is there to sya... oh wait i can brag a little bit...

Best Phone I've Ever Used

 OK... So apparently some people (people that gave ratings of 1) lack the intelligence to properly understand and operate this device.  I'm thinking that some of them don't even own a Droid... scared iPhone fanboys?



Anyway, back to the phone. 



As the title says, this is the best phone I've ever used.  It has great call quality.  It handles multi-tasking well.   I am able to connect to the SSH server setup at home and tunnel an RDP connection through it.  It handles this flawlessly.



Images on the display are crisp and clear.  This phone does everything I want it to.   Except for some reason, Google Wave says that its browser isn't supported... at least not yet.



One other great thing is the voice search.  After telling the phone what you want it will find local matches for your search and you give you the options of calling, navigating to, or showing the location on the google maps.



The camera did initially have issues focusing, however it seems to have corrected itself for now.  Both the picture and video quality are very good.



Although the phone setup isn't as straight forward as say the iPhone, it didn't take very long to get use to the UI and be able to easily find what you're looking for.



The thing that most people complain about is the keyboard.  It definitely takes some getting use to, but after using it for nearly two weeks it has become increasingly easy to tell where your fingers are and the number of unintentional key presses has gone down quite a bit.



Oh, the browser is awesome.  I'm able to view full web pages and easily.  It renders the pages quickly and accurately.  The scrolling is also very quick.



The phone is very responsive.  Only seen lag a couple of times....even that only lasted maybe a second.



The OS does have it's imperfections.  I have gotten a force close a few times.  This isn't really a big deal since I can open the app again in seconds.



Google will also be releasing an update for this phone either toward the end of this year or the beginning of 2010.   Google seems to be very quick about getting patches and fixes out.  Which is reassuring, and since this is a "Google Experience" phone (meaning it doesn't have tons of extra software) there isn't anything for the manufacturers to have to change/redesign.  This in turn means that the updates will be pushed out to this phone much quicker than others.  For example: The Hero and others are having to wait for Android 2.0 because HTC is having to redesign the Sense UI to be compatible with the newer OS.



I could go on for a while but I'll stop here.  This phone is a great phone, full of features and the ability to do nearly anything.  



I highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for an upgrade.





Large, Vibrant, and Clear Display
Hardware Keyboard
Call Quality
Loud speaker is very loud
Google Maps Navigation (with street view!!!)
Very Nice Browser (Full flash support coming in 2010)
No native pinch to zoom (it is supported in some applications and on the European version...so maybe some day)
