i read somewhere that the reason the docks know to change to a docked screen is from the magnets placed in the docks. Friday the 6th cant come soon enough

Why do people want this phone so much? I don't see anything special about this phone other than the Android 2.0. Plus, the phone seems too laggy and slow to compete with the phones being released these days.

I'm just making personal comments and being curious on why people want this phone so much.. I don't see the point of your reply lol

For most people it's because their on Verizon and don't have a good choice in phones. Second, as you stated, it's Android 2.0 with several improvements. Third, the new Google Maps Navigation blows away most third party nav apps that you have to pay for. Fourth, the docks are a nice feature. I'm getting the car dock with my Droid.

The point of vzwman's reply is that you don't have the network, which seems to be true since you didn't rebut his claim, meaning you can't actually have the droid even if you did want it. If you don't understand why the droid is creating so much buzz, than you don't know anything about the phone.

Everyone on Verizon wants it so bad cause it's the closet thing to an iphone they can get,,,and we all know how bad VZ wants the iphone. Shouldn't have turned it down when they had the chance,,,,regretting it now

can this phone sync up your email accounts, like hotmail, yahoo, etc...?? will it support office suite docs? perhaps theres an app for that?

Supposedly it has a notification pull down menu that will color code your email messages based on which account they come from, so yes. Don't know about the office suite docs, maybe there is an app.

I see that the HTC android phone runs Sense UI which I really like.. Are we able to put that on this Droid?

can you put touchflo3D on the Omnia or Palm Treo? Sense UI is made by HTC so it only comes on their handsets, like touchflo but for Android.
