I just got a Droid after having the same old Motorola phone for several years. The Droid has pretty much knocked my socks off. Contrast my old phone, that could make calls, text message, and take awful pictures, with the Droid which can be used as a phone, an email client, a web browser, an OS for a ton of applications, and even a metal detector (haven't tried that app yet). The one thing I would say that I do miss is a real keypad. I used to be able to punch numbers by feel alone, so if I had to make a call from the car I could just key several numbers of the speed dial without looking (and yes, I do use a headset).

Thanks. Listening to the other reviews makes me nervous about buying anything new. I wonder if those reviews actually provide a service to most consumers or are more suitable for the suggestions box of the manufacturer.
