I am glad you got your Droid on Monday! I just got mine today they royally messed up the order and I had to do it again Monday. They never alerted me to it I had to find out on my own. I got the Body glove case. My recommendation is don’t get it. It was to tight and actually separated part of my phone on the bottom half of the keyboard. Thank God I fixed it and then it was almost impossible to get off, not to mention it made opening the keyboard almost impossible due to the tightness. Also do not get Verizon’s screen protectors….JUNK. Which was surprising because they are usually good. To make a long story shorter ;) i think I will go with a full body protective screen, like ghost armor or body guardz. Good luck with your Droid, it was really nice talking with you!!! :)

I actually bought the Body Glove snap on case. The cases that come in 2 pieces like the one I ordered will allow access to your keyboard, Nice thing is if you don’t want it on one day or whatever you can just pop it off. I have found that a lot of times with a sliding mechanism the case makes it feel sturdier (less play when closed) I also wouldn’t expect it Monday. The lady I spoke to at the warehouse said it would be Tuesday, she said nobody works in the Warehouse in the “picking dept.” on the weekends. I hope she is like 99% of the people who work for cellular companies and doesn’t know what she is talking about. ;)

Yes, the website was A MESS for sure! I hopped online around 3:30a, further investigated the Droid for about an hour (as there were now official specs from VZW), then began my purchase…which lasted a nightmare-ish 4.5 HOURS!! There were ridiculous waits between steps in the purchase process, and then, just when I would finish a step, the site would puke out on me and I’d have to start all over (this starting over business happened to me about five times)!!

HOWEVER!! To me, online was still the way to go versus the alternatives (VZW retail, BB). Here’s why…(my ‘Top 10 List’)…

1. I didn’t have to STAND in any lines (I sat comfortably in bed with my laptop…and played on Facebook, etc. during waiting periods).
2. I got the $100 rebate INSTANTLY (none of this mail-in junk).
3. My $100 ‘New Every Two’ credit was applied.
4. My 22% employer discount was applied to the voice plan ($39.99->$31.19) and 20% to the data package ($29.99->23.99)…also 25% on accessories (got display protectors).
5. I received FREE SATURDAY shipping via UPS (I love UPS!)…and the tracking currently shows it to be on-time (should have phone by noon today).
6. I received FREE activation through 11:59p Monday.
7. There were no ‘one-time’ charges.
8. When all was said and done, I rolled over, curled up, and went to sleep (no having to DRIVE home)!
9. I saved $ on gasoline to and from a brick-and-mortar!
10. (LOL!) By having to wait a day for my $99 Droid, I am exercising PATIENCE (hard to come by these days) and therefore, BUILDING GOOD CHARACTER ;)

And that is my Droid experience thus far…now roll out the barrel of fun!! :)

I have heard some people say Verizon uses Fed Ex home delivery which is separate from commercial. I was told this department delivers on Saturday (not sure if I believe it) Also I was told if you can’t wait until Monday for $20 you can have Saturday delivery. Both of these options sound better than waiting in line or waiting for a rebate .

Another thing

Those who are going to the Verizon store will be paying an extra $100 with the mail in rebate you’ll get back in SIX-EIGHT weeks. Yes a Representative have told me this so it is confirmed.

Secondly FREE SHIPPING, BUY FRIDAY you get it early MONDAY. SO what I’ll wait till Monday to save $100 dollars than waiting 6-8 weeks for my mail in rebate to get back. Although all of you can go to the store, so the web won’t be slowed down. :)

I get an 18% discount for where I work for example. I don’t know how to apply that discount if I order online

#2- Multi-touch. I don’t think its a big deal but having it is half the battle.

#3- Adobe flash 10. Get on there nuts and call them everyday until they at least give us a beta version to use. Be a annoying phone collector. And have them answer your consumer needs (clientel).

#4- When connected to computer I would like to just drag and drop movies and the phone automatically convert them for me. (SIMPLIFY) one reason the IPHONE is such a success is because of its easy functionality. Lets surpass that.

#5- Up the amount of HOME SCREENS lets say 7 sounds like a good number. or put in the settings where the user can pick there amount 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. I would like to have my work page, my home page, weekend page, games page, apps page, school page, and so on………….

Thanks for listening to my thoughts. Sincerely, future droid owner and first android phone.
