Well,
I thought about this long and hard and bought a Droid Sunday. I really wanted the Verizon network because it is the only one that covers all of the territory that I work in. All of the others cover 1/3rd of the area at best...
I had to get a new phone plan this week ( or risk losing my number I have had since 1990 ) and I was not sure if the Nexus One or Incredible would be out or not. It took some getting used to the Droid and it's quirks... At first I was horrified on Monday at the battery life ( only 4 hr ). To top it all off the 3G network was down all mourning in Atlanta and I could not check the traffic ( One reason I got the phone ). And you guessed it, I got stuck in a 2hr traffic jam on I285. Needless to say, I was not all that excited about the droid by Monday evening.
However, once I got a full deep cycle charge it seemed to work fine today (Tuesday). I finished the day with 60% life remaining. I guess that nearly full new battery did not get a proper charger over the first night. The 3G was great today. I was at a work site and needed a PDF manual. I downloaded it and copied it via USB to my laptop. It literally saved me about 2hr worth of waiting for a tech to call me back to give me a default password needed to configure a device that I was working on. I also had my company email forwarded to my GMail account and was able to answer a few emails at lunch and a few more before I left the site to head home. Normally I would have to wait until I got home to check the emails and have to work late to answer them. I got home and was done with work for a change.
I still want a Nexus One or HTC Incredible. I got one for the wife as well on the buy one get one free deal. When I get a N1 or HTC Incredible I'll probably keep the extra Droid as a spare phone since it was free ( I tend to break stuff )
I have been agonizing over this for a few weeks now. I am glad it is finally over....
The news about the Android 2.1 for the droid update was a nice surprise as well...
Did you get a car dock and multimedia dock? They are great. Also get a Monster FM transmitter for Pandora. I put my Droid in the multimedia dock beside our bed and never have to charge the Droid during the day.
Same here regarding the multimedia dock. Best $30 ive spent in awhile.

Ditto!! For the same as you would pay for an additional wall or vehicle charger you can have the multi media dock. Use it for the clock, music and weather! Pretty awesome!!
I got them for $20 each by purchasing them along with the Droid.
