I'll admit that I am a DROID fan. While other family members are are iPhones users, I picked DROID for my first smart phone. Main reason for doing this was based on carrier coverage. Currently we are on ATT. Many fulltimers are not. I got tired of waiting for the expected announcement that iPhone will partner with Verizon. I ran into an interesting article about DROID phones that I thought I would share with the forum http://www.newsweek.com/2010/10/03/how-android-is-transforming-mobile-computing.html Enjoy the info.

If I needed to get a smartphone today I would run out and get a Droid X on Verizon. It is big, but very usable. Multiple friends are happy with them.
My wife is even coming around so maybe in February or March when we can change phones we might move to a Droid. But remember that only Verizon can call their Android phones, "Droid", since only they paid George Lucas. Calling an Android phone on AT&T a "Droid" could get you a visit from Darth Vader with a light saber.
Passport America just came out with an Android app, which would be great since we have been hitting PA campgrounds a bunch. They have had an iPhone app a while. I think these are free apps.

The greatest thing about any smartphone is the ability to instantly go online and get any information you want or need. I am constantly amazed when I need to get some detail or information and I grab my iPhone, do a quick Google search and bang....the info is there.
It's getting to the point where I use my smartphone more frequently than I do my laptop.
Warning- There's a gaming app that is highly addictive. A week ago my DW added "Angry Birds" to my smartphone.... It's one of those games where you pick it up to play for a few minutes and the next thing you know 2 hours have gone by.
