I was hoping the Droid was finally going to give some legit and badly-needed competition to the iPhone, but so far both reviews and first-hand accounts seem very critical of both the hard keyboard and the soft keyboard (the former for being flat and difficult/impossible to touch-type as a result, and the latter for not supporting multi-touch so that you can’t hit a key before you release the last one). While I suspect living in the Mac ecosystem is going to keep me from jumping ship to another phone OS (much as I’d like to given my iPhone 3G’s sluggishness and AT&T’s astonishing unreliability), I’d still like something to pop up and put the heat under Apple and AT&T and really force them to get their shit together.

I ended up replacing my 6+ year old phone with the Droid, as I needed a smartphone anyway and wanted the open system Android provides. So far I love it. The most noticeable difference is that it’s the first Android phone to actually have a decent processor inside.

Yes, clearly it should be demoted to [[Category:Cats with fraudulent diplomas]]. :-)
