Anyone using a droid phone...which brand?  I have a friend who loves his but I am afraid it may be to gadgety for me.

I have one, had it since January and love it for the most part. It does have a big learning curve, to use it to its full extent. I bought it because I teach on-line classes and I needed a way to hook up with my classes when I was away from campus. We are so rural we have no cable or anything out here - we do not even have a land line for phone use (who needs one now anyway?). It worked for most applications (can download PDF's and work in files), but I still ended up getting wireless through Verizon just last week (I am teaching 4 classes this semester, and needed better access). So, it works well, and is a good phone. My daughter can get around real easy, but my husband can not figure it out! Figures...

don't have one, friends do and it is awesome.  You need to be savvy to make it worth your money I would say.  with verizon it is an extra 30 a month for that droid package (unlimited internet).  I would suggest getting insurance and being careful still have had friends who found out they are touchy and don't take much abuse.  Also if anyone has a touch screen that has recently stopped working it might be because of humidity, that is what happened around here.

Funny, I drop mine all the time and have not had any problems yet (knocking on wood!). I thought it was very durable considering the abuse i put it through.  ;)
