I wanted one but had to get the LG touch instead. Damn progressive insurance wouldn't budge on what I could spend.

I've got an HTC Hero running Android. Best phone OS I have ever used.

I wanted one, but I ended up getting an HTC Touch Diamond, running Windows Mobile.

Ive got the boulder for a work phone, supposedly indestructible. A light spike onto my carpet and the outer screen shattered. FAIL!

The last thing I use my phone for is calling people.

got it. Best app you need to get is called Advanced Task Killer. Droid has an issue with never closing a program once it is opened. About once every few days you need to run advanced task killer and kill all tasks. Otherwise its like having 30 programs running at once...Otherwise I love it. If you have any questions about it let me know. Ive become quite the guru on it lol

If you back out of programs rather then hit the home button, it closes them. Also, Android's task management is far superior to Win Mobile's. If you are not using a program, it isn't taking up memory. I used task killer for awhile until I found this out. I deleted it and never have any issues.

I stand corrected! Thanks!

I have had the Droid since it came out. It is so much better than the windows mobile I had before. Windows mobile is like carrying the problems of your desktop around with you. The droid is Simple and fast.
No operating system is perfect but I like the Droid.

I'm very curious about how strong the droid is...

How did you break your screen?
Did it take much?
Could you still use it at all?

Thanks!

no offence but thats pretty weak... i was drunk one time and i whipped my HTC touch at a ceiling smoked it came flying back down on the cement i popped the battry in it and the back cover turned it on worked fine, 3rd day of my iphone i dropped it smoked the cement works fine, did it agian last week, i ran over my old fire red krzr with my atv still works.. ive gone threw 5 phones but its just from getting bored of them except the HTC windows mobile them peice of shits from the firmware not working properly

Yeh pressure on one of those screens is sure to end it. I've learned that the $5 a month insurance is really worth it!

I just got my girlfriend one for v-day, she loves it. We both agree that the droid is far better then the iphone, and not just because its on verizon's network. Android is a great phone os and the multimedia dock makes a great alarm clock.

Personally I have the latest gen of the g'zone boulder. First phone I've had that I didn't break, I find it hard to believe that a spike on carpet shattered the outside screen as mines met concrete from four floors up and was perfectly fine.

No BS man, along with shattering the outer screen, the metal battery clip broke too. I had to superglue it. It's a work phone and I need to take it in. Pics available upon request.
