Love my new Droid. However, when I shut it down and plug it into the wall charger, it automatically turns back on. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Or is this working as designed?

I do not understand how manufacturers can produce so unsexy and ugly products.
The iPhone is not ready to be outstripped. Even, if it has the latest techno embedded. Without a good ergonomic and design, common people will never be attracted by this kind of GEEK-products.

@Surge (and everyone else asking about multitouch)
YES, the Droid HAS been reported as being multitouch capable.

What I want to see is a site that compares specs and such across the Android phones coming to Verizon in the next few months because I’ve been drooling over the Droid for weeks, but all this talk about the Passion is making me wonder. Does anyone know of a site that will show Android-to-Android comparisons?

Will you be able to put different themes on the Droid.
How about a dedicated weather slot for the home screen.

Guys, there will be NO multitouch, NO tv-out, and NO hardware accelerated media playing (no 720p or 1080p video playback — EVEN THOUGH the chip OMAP3 allows for it!!) What a waste. Also since it’s a “with google” phone this offers none of the features the HTC HERO’s UI has like weather on the home screen and multiple home screens. The built in UI sucks dick.

- GPS: CAN YOU NAVIGATE WITHOUT USE OF YOUR DATASUBSCRIBTION.JUST LIKE OTHER STAND ALONE GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEMS IN CARS.
SO NO DATA CONSUMPTION? DOES IT GET A QUICK GPS FIX
- TVOUT??

How do I disable the obnoxious “DROOOIIID” sound on bootup? Is it in ROM? Is it configurable from within android? How do I get rid of the ugly red eye graphics? Does the phone come without the gold accents? If these are user modifiable and they represent the entire extent of verizon’s fiddling with the google experience then it will be my next phone. I’m really hoping Verizon doesn’t start crippling features expected out of a phone like this.

I see lots of questions, but no answers. What is the point of this thread?

1: How fast is it compared to the 3GS? I’m not talking about clock speed, but speed as experienced by the user: how long does it take to boot? How long does it need to load Maps and find my GPS location there? How quick to start or switch apps?

2: Is the space for apps really that small? Why?

3: Does it have multitouch?

4: When can I buy it in Netherland? Will it work if I order one from abroad?

So far, it sounds like the first credible iPhone killer I’ve seen, but to really make it an iPhone killer, you need some really good answers to these questions.
