Droid vs Droid Eris

I was recently purchased the Droid for work and personal use. While I'm still getting to know it I can note what raised some flags for me.

I've gotten use to the virtual keyboard but I seem to trade off between the two. The physical keyboard is a bit tough for me because its pretty flat and so sometimes I end up fat fingering another key. I found myself to be a bit faster typing on the virtual keyboard.

There is a concern for me with MMS. My phone only allows you to send pictures, text and a voice recording to others via MMS. I cannot send custom mp3s that I may have used for ringtones. You can receive them but sending is an issue. Although you can go to the Marketplace and download an app called Handcent and it'll allow it. Wait for it... Its limited on the size you can send. so far I couldn't send a soundbite that is 90k in size. I think that was a crock cause my previous phone was a Motorola Q9c and I was able to send 3-5 megs. I called Verizon and they said its an issue with Google that maybe some day they'll "patch" that. Lastly in concern with that app, ever since I installed it, I was told from people I text that they get it 2 or 3 times. (There may be a patch for that app too coming out).

Two other issues: You can customize your ringtones by moving your mp3s to your sd card but I couldn't find a way to change my tone for email and text. I had to use a program called RingDroid.

The other day told my friend told me that the Droid makes my voice sound deeper and on my end sometimes there is a little reverb sound when calling people. It really doesn't distract me from talking on the phone though.

Other than that...Its a really good phone. Don't get me wrong about my nit picking...I love it way better than the Q9c. My friend has a Iphone said its smoother and faster than his Iphone. I find that I spend a lot of time testing and playing with appz in the marketplace.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
