Who has a Droid?

Scott@Bjorn3D · 06-16-2010, 09:03 AM

Well Stephs phone has been acting up for a while, so Kathie and I took it to Verizon this last weekend and they said it had gotten wet and showed us. Needless to say Stephanie says it never did. Yeah right, she dropped 1 phone in a tub, lost one tricker treating and I am supposed to believe this.

So anyway we have the insurance but they tell us it will be 50.00 bucks to replace the phone since it got wet. But then the lady says you know you have 2 phones that could be upgraded now. One being mine and one Zac's. They tell us about buy 1 get one free Droid and rebates, after rebates 2 new phones for 49.00. Humm do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out.

Zac said he would give his upgrade to Steph if I gave him my Black Berry Storm. So I said sure. So now I have a Droid. So fill me in on all the cool stuff. Oh it is the Motorola one one.

Thanks ahead of time.

DAMN.....and here I am thinking about something totally different.......seeing as how R2D2 is in the back room!.

Steve Dallas · 06-16-2010, 09:46 AM

I have one as well.

Great phone.

Rudack covered many of the good apps (Google Sky, Robo Defense).

Some that he didn't list that I have:

Where
AP Mobile
Urbanspoon
Armored Strike
Parallel Kingdom
adyno (want your 1/4 mile info? This is the app)
Enjoy Sudoko

Adiko
Wiki Mobile
Albert Einstein Quotes
Chess
Live Score
Droid Armory (for WoW players)
Fandango
Locale (This app is great, as it allows you to use GPS locations to set ring volume and other settings...for example, at work, my volume gets set to 0).

If you do get the Driod, download justincase_2008's Camaro backgrounds. Theyre amazing.

Havok · 06-16-2010, 04:00 PM

I hate AT&T. I'd love to get the incredible, but no we're stuck with the iPhone. Might pick up the new Aria or w/e when it comes out though.

*Milk 1027* · 06-16-2010, 04:14 PM

Good luck getting those rebates.....

CruznSS · 06-16-2010, 04:32 PM

Getting the Sprint Evo next week. Take it to GM Nationals next weekend. Friend at work just picked hers up. Super fast and can pull up Camaro5 when I'm on breaks at work.

Steve Dallas · 06-16-2010, 05:19 PM

OK, and can EVERYONE here say DROID, not drIOd.

swansor · 06-16-2010, 05:31 PM

I have the droid Incredible. It rocks just as Rudack and Dallas have said.
Add sywpe to the list of apps https://beta.swype.com/
Heres some other apps:
Aloqa
easy tether
handcent SMS
scanner radio
speedtest
Aviation weather
Weatherbug
ustream

2 people I work with went with sprint Evo's and this phone screen is huge. Videos look great and it has a kickstand to sit the phone upright on its own. Lotta real estate to view video and such. only downside in my opinion is the sprint nertwork. Spotty around here. 4G will be great when it becomes available

But you have to make sure the vol is turned down when you are at car club meetings.

I have the HTC Hero 2, awesome phone

mamaro · 06-16-2010, 08:33 PM

Next week on the 23rd, Verizon will be launching a new Droid, probably the Xtreme. 4.3" screen. That's what I'm waiting for. Rumors maybe version 2.2 with Flash 10.1. Day before the iPhone 4 launch. You know they've been working hard on this one. They wanted to get it out there before iPhone.

4.3 maybe a little large for a cell for me.
