Motorola Droid Has Weaknesses

Listening to all the hype associated with the Droid, I traded in my blackberry for the Motorola Droid.  I ASSumed that the Droid would provide email functioning similar to the blackberry as well as speedy web surfing.  I was greatly disappointed with the Droid’s inability to forward emails with attachments without a few manipulations (saving the attachment and re-attaching it, etc).  I was further dismayed when I discovered I could not adjust the font for emails and text messaging.  I prefer not to strain my eyes to see the small font contained in emails and text messages.  Although this phone has a tremendous amount of power and capabilities, I need a phone now that will easily allow me to view and forward email attachments.  I am considering the HTC Touch Pro 2.

Good morning abank443. 

 

Sorry about your Droid experience. I totally agree with you about it's capabilities and also its shortcomings. I am a Droid lover, but I am not blind to the faults. I think it basically just comes down to what you personally need it to do. For my purposes, it is great. There have been enough posts in this forum though from people who are unhappy with what it wont do, that it is a legitimate concern that you have. Hopefully someone on here, more knowledgeable than myself, can help you find ways to make your Droid more useable for your purposes. If not, best of luck with your HTC TP2, or whatever phone you decide on.

 

Happy New Year!
