I think the live wallpapers are pretty cool, but mainly on an otherwise blank screen. Aquarium live is my favorite, but the fish are swimming around icons. Thunderstorm drained my battery in about 2 hours. So, I've been using "colors". You can pick from any of hundreds of colors and you get a...

I got my OTA update to Andriod 2.2 (Froyo), yesterday, on my birthday. My favorite thing about 2.2 is that the clock displays differently on the display doc. With 2.1 it was always bright, and lit up the bedroom all night. 2.2 actually has a smarter display that can be dimmed. I also like the...

I'll stay with Droid. I like the keyboard and now I have the media dock and car mount, which are both nice accessories.

I've had mine for a week. The more I use it the more I like it. Just got 2.1 today. It added pinch to zoom, live wallpaper and speach to text.

I found a bundle on the Verizon website. They had the media dock, car mount and car charger for $49.97. I ordered it right away and got next day delivery. Can't beat that deal!

I'm in the Chicago area and got the OTA update last night. You'll probably get yours soon. I didn't want to load it manually.

Deleting from Trash You don't have to go to the browser. I've found that you can go to "trash" and check all the e-mails, then select "delete". I have not found an "empty trash" function for my Prodigy (Yahoo) account. This is a hassle but it works.

Empty Trash What about the "empty trash" function for Yahoo mail on the Droid? I don't see that as an option. When I delete messages, they go into the trash folder, but it seems the only way to get rid of them from there is to delete each one individually. I must have an option set wrong. On my...

Moto Droid I got a Droid three days ago, still a learning curve. You're right the browser is amazing. Still a few things I prefer on the Centro, such as USB sync. I tried Companionlink but it puts everything in customized places and I don't like the way it displays. I'm now trying to keep my...

This is a very bizarre issue, I think. I've had two instances where I could not type some characters in a specific place. 1. I was entering a phone number with the format (where #is actually a numeral): ###-###-####. It was going fine until I tried to type the second dash (-). I could not type...

Companion link Thanks. I guess I'm just concerned about the privacy of the cloud. I would like to sync calendar, memos and tasks, just like I do now with the Centro, but I'll see how it goes. I think there is a free trial with Companionlink. I wasn't going to get a new phone, then I saw the...

Eris vs Other Droids Thanks. I appreciate your response, especially since you came from a Palm product. The only other thing I don't feel comfortable with is the "cloud", so I may invest in companionlink and sync to my Palm desktop.

Eris I can wait a couple of weeks, but I'm hearing that possibly the Eris will be replaced by the Incredible by April 1, so I'm sure the price will be higher on the Incredible. Since I'm coming from a Palm Centro, I think the Eris would be a big improvement. I checked out the Moto Droid, and...

I currently have a Palm Centro and want to migrate to a Verizon Android phone (not sure which). Having been a palm user for a long time, I like the desktop and ability to sync locally with a USB connection. Is there anyone who is currently using Companionlink to sync with a Palm destop? If so...

I've been wanting to get an Android phone, but can't decide which. If Eris goes away in two weeks, I can't justify getting it. However, I've gone to two Verizon stores and a Best Buy and specifically asked about the Eris being discontinued. The Verizon stores denied it outright and Best Buy said...
