As you know from my recent post about cell phones, I have been in the market for a new phone for quite a while. I have always been technologically challenged and have never even initiated a text message before. I finally got with the times and upgraded to a Motorola Droid phone from Verizon. It took some getting used to, but I have been amazed with the phone and I love it. I finally have everything I need on one device. A phone, camera, video recorder, Internet, e-mail, texting, GPS, google maps, MP3 player, voice recognition, movies, etc. There are also thousands of additional free applications that can be downloaded onto it.I think the final thing that pushed me to make the purchase was seeing several AT&T commercials featuring Luke Wilson bad mouthing Verizon. I always hate to see companies bash each other. I wish PC/Apple, Coke/Pepsi, Ford/Chevy and all the other rivals could just get along. Maybe instead of all the commercials, they could just have a cage match with the CEO of each company to settle things once and for all.
I'm really happy with my phone, but I'm a little worried because I find myself constantly engrossed with it. I feel like I'm turning into a socially backwards teenager, because I am now frequently typing messages, looking stuff up, or listening to music with my headphones while I'm around other people. At least I haven't gotten distracted by playing video games on it yet.

My brother has the Droid and loves it. I have the MyTouch. I love it too!
When my husband and I are on a date and he takes his similar phone (sorry- we are mac people), I call it his other girlfriend because he can't seem to put her down either. He claims to remain true to me, but I can see through that lie....
Well, be sure that you run the 'drive car while I'm doing stuff' app if you are going to be texting / surfing while in your vehicle.
Eric, Good point. I have actually been a safer driver since I started using this device since it has voice control and hands free features. It is scary how many drivers I see texting or clueless to their surroundings while driving.
I've been thinking about checking this out. I like that the new OS will allow you to tweet by voice recognition.
