call *228 and selection Option 2

Hey folks, I remember, from phones in the past, that their useful battery life would somehow be significantly reduced if I used them while they were charging. Does the Droid's Li-ion battery share this same wear & tear trait? The only reason I ask is because I've had three Droids. The...

I suggest waiting for the Passion or just get the Eris and sign a one-year contract instead of two-year.. I wish I had. Like the Storm 1, The Moto Droid functions rather poorly as a phone. But if you don't mind listening to Snap, Crackle, and Pop in every phone call followed by the occasional...

If I were you I'd wait. While the Droid is pretty nice, I still feel like it could have been leaps and bounds better. The overall ergonomics of this phone are pretty subpar. The placement of the volume rocker, power button, and camera button were poorly implemented. The keyboard was just a...

this is actually real... While the difference is only very slight, there is a difference. The first Droid I had was a build-run 42/09. It had the flat keyboard. My latest one is a 45/09 and the keyboard keys are ever so slightly bubbled. To the naked eye, there's barely a difference, but...

I am on the road right now with work for the next couple days, but I could try a friend's Bluetooth when I get home; however, with so many people having no issue at all I am probably just going to exchange it.

I have never used bluetooth.

I haven't had any issues with dropped calls either, but the listening and speech (my voice) quality on this phone have been horrible. I've been with Verizon for 10 years and have never had issues like this.

How is the voice/speech quality on your Motorola Droid? Comments are welcomed.

The higher the number the better. Remember it is a negative value. So, for example, -40 is better than -100.

Hey Doug, I haven't exchanged my Droid, but I have tried different demo Droid phones from different Verizon stores. They all sound the same to me. Some may perceive them as excellent, but I don't and neither do the folks I've called with them. Hopefully the tech knew what he was talking...

As far as voice quality goes I've never experienced the good times.

I visit anywhere from 10-15 major cities and rural areas every week. It doesn't matter how good the signal is, the speech and sound quality are always the same. I really have no idea if the firmware update will fix this problem. To be honest, I'm not optimistic. My feeling on it is, if...

It doesn't matter if you pull the battery for 15 seconds and do *228 option 2. It doesn't matter which vocoder you select. It doesn't matter if you turn on or off Voice Privacy. The Droid simply has terrible sound and speech quality. Yes, you can get marginally better speech quality with 13k...

I have been to about 15 different states in the past two weeks and I get static on every call. It is most noticeable when the phone is ringing, in-call right before and after the caller speaks, and occasionally when we are speaking. Sound on this phone can be very warbly and clippy. It is...
