Say what you want about yer old lady, but that new squeeze can’t hold a candle to the Voyager’s keyboard. Especially when her own is nothing more than some tawdry, slapdash affair of scored vinyl and cheap gold highlights. And when you finger that camera button, go easy. It just might fall off.

[...] Droid. One of our writers, Phases, went as far as to leave his mobile phone through a very public break-up letter. But before Android fans can truly rejoice and triumph there is one bar it most compete [...]

Now That I have the Droid the one only thing I miss about my old phone is “Uncaught exception: java.lang.Error”

I have a Voyager as well. I went to Verizon to upgrade, but I would have to pay over $550 for the Droid. Oh well, I must wait a little longer to get rid of my Voyager.

I feel ya… I’m making the exact same move you are. The Droid is soooo frik’n awesome. I’ve been waiting soooo long to get rid of my voyager. After about 5mins with the Droid I totally forgot that I’ve ever owned another phone.

I just got my LG Dare early this year. This sucks, I so want the Dare. :( I heard that if you have to exchange your phone more than three times in three months, you get a new phone. Sucks that it’s a random phone that’s similar to your current phone. I would have wanted to exchange my Dare for the Droid. :’(

I loved it! I actually was the same way! Got the Voyager the first day it came out and finally moved on today! Greatest day!

Proud upgrader – moved to the DROID from a slightly beaten, Stylus-lacking palm Centro from last May. I finagled with them to let me use my brother’s upgrade time (and he got the centro in return, which he wanted more than his RAZR).

All in all, a good morning. Unfortunately, my battery’s dead right now.

I dumped my Voyager this morning too. It seemed like such a good idea when I got it. Fortunately, I never had to get it replaced, but it liked to shut down and reboot at random and the screen was going weird. It can sit and collect dust with my other two old phones.

“Only 256MB RAM (are you kidding??)”

Droid has -significantly- more memory available than the G1 or myTouch. It’s more than just the additional 64MB from their 192MB — the hardware architecture allows much more of the RAM to be used by the platform.

For perspective, on a G1/myTouch, we’ll have memory for maybe 3-4 extra background processes. On Droid there is easily 13 or more background processes sitting around.

Also Droid introduces a new memory class, since it is a higher resolution (thus more memory needed for graphics) with more RAM, giving 24MB to each application instead of the traditional 16MB. So it makes no sense to talk about “map overlays automatically turned off.” I don’t think maps even does that, and any way you look at it the app will have more memory available on Droid.

I feel the pain and sorry also. After two years with my Samsung SCH-i760 (try telling ppl that is the name of your phone…) I am ready for a change. Three replacements, Random memory card wipes, “deep sleep” random “thinking” when nothing is going on, I just can’t trust you to work right anymore. Good bye i760, hello Dorid!
