Motorola DroidI’ve held off for some time on upgrading to an iPhone.  The tax for leaving Verizon was too high, and AT&T’s network is not desirable, especially around West Michigan.  So I was rather pleased when Verizon announced the coming of the Motorola Droid.  I was excited because I’ve been an avid user of Google products (Google Apps for your Domain, gmail, Picasa, etc), and because it’s an open platform with a fairly simple development environment.

I’m learning Eclipse now, and bringing my Java memories back to life.  The hardware is quite impressive, and it’s nice to have a modern phone with me.  The downsides:  The camera isn’t the quickest (or highest quality), and there are still issues syncing with Microsoft’s Exchange servers, but for a first round, the Droid is awesome.
