They said the same exact thing last year and it didn't happen. I have no reason to believe that it will happen this time either.

I love my droid. Both me and the wife got ours at launch.

I have to say that having the capacitive touch screen while also having a full keyboard was what put the Droid over the top for me. I use the keyboard a lot!

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's inherent in being a man or not... But I just am not happy with things unless I've got it exactly how I want. The exception is something I've broken, or have a high probability of breaking coupled with a low probability of fixing).

It always amazes me to see the people that have a phone for a year and are still asking how to do basic things (My mom for example.) If I get a new phone, the next few free hours are going to be spent tweaking every setting and learning how it all works.

I think the only reason I've steered away from modding my phone is the whole "bricking" worry. I have this mental image comparing bricking my phone to getting donkey kicked in the balls. Plus.. as a student I can't afford to go buying new things that "worked well enough" as you're wife would have said.

On another note. What are the two apps / mods that show the massive digital clock + weather, and the panels for controlling silent, gps, screen brightness, etc?

Turns out its damn near impossible to brick a droid. Ever an insane 1.5+ ghz overclock will just boot loop it, then you just pop into SPRRecovery and reflash your lower kernel. Viola. Thus far, outside of manufactured defencs or phones that had suffered extreme abuse I have yet to read of someone who permanently bricked their DROID.

The Clock and Weather and one widget, the other control are the same widget actually just split off. Its called WEATHER AND TOGGLE WIDGET on the market, its completely reskinnable and customizable, the the clock and weather widgets can also be split up if one so desires. I just picked it up 2 days ago though so i cant give a full review just yet, but i do like it.

One thing ill give the iphone: It "Works". Kinda like a mac. It works the same, all the time no matter what. Its simple, straight forward and unkillable without root acess. At the same time its another tightly closed system, not customizable outside of pre-selected apple approved options.

With the droid its more technical, buggy if you dont know what your doing, and so adjustable and customizable and OPEN that some users get lost in it, having a hard time making basic functions work for fear of hitting the wrong options and getting lost.

Some like it one way, others another.

You have any games running on your droid?

I've taken a liking to WordUp and Bebbled for mental challenges. (Played Torect, but I just can't figure out the damn puzzles).

I beat Age of Conquest to the point where it wasn't fun. JewelLust was pretty, but didn't have playability beyond a few hours.

I probably got the most play time out of Robo Defense, but can't stand to look at it anymore (because of how much I played it for a few weeks).

I'm currently playing Pocket Empire, which seems fun to hop on now and then since it runs real time.

I checked out iMobsters and WorldWar, but they just seem gimmicky.

You have any experiences to share?

I have an iphone, my dad has a droid, and I absolutely cannot stand it.

I have no problem with AT&T so that's not an issue either.
