Droid on Verizon Wireless

Just got a Droid (Motorola) from Verizon Wireless.  It is truly amazing.  I've had PalmOS devices for the past 5+ years and this is on an entirely different level.  You have a really powerful computer in the palm of your hand.  I'll note a few things that I REALLY like:

• Email - I hooked up to my corporate email account on Microsoft Exchange instantly and my emails came into the phone almost instantly.  It has a lot of options in composing, very user friendly and fast.
• Speed - you switch from one app to another very quickly.
• 3G and WiFi - internet access is phenomenal
• Messaging - chat format, haven't figured out how to add more smileys than just a smile but I'll get there
• Camera - amazing 5 megapixel, very clear
• Huge screen - half inch longer than my friend's iPhone
• Keyboard - I do like the on-screen keyboard but I have to type with one finger, my thumbs always get the wrong key, extra slide out keyboard works great
• Maps and GPS - standard it gives you street directions and tracks where you are with satellite imagery, I look forward to what it can do in the mountains with an app for UTM coordinates
• Browser - great on the big screen both orientations, it really looks good with Weightwatcher's mobile website, which I'm already using.  Wish I could figure out how to download flash because a lot of websites are flash driven.  Great resolution and zoom feature helps when website comes up really small.
• Calendar synchronizes with my exchange, which synchronizes with my Entourage, which synchronizes to MobileMe.  I just love it.
• Contacts - I like it.  I need to figure out how to put in a letter so it goes right to a contact and to sort it by last name instead of first.  I like how the contacts start integrating with other applications I download
• Touchscreen - very responsive, almost TOO responsive.  I've called a couple people while on contacts without intending to or typed letters while I'm just thinking of what to type next.  But I'll learn.
• Car Home app - voice commands to navigate, Google Navigate beta works great and turns your phone into a Garmin GPS Unit with turn by turn verbal commands.

I love new technology.  I'm still figuring out notifications.  New text messages and calendar appointments just came up on the screen with the Palm products.  I have to hunt for them when I hear my ringtone on the Droid.
