I would like to state for the record that I had tried this unsuccessfully on an iPhone 3GS prior to writing the last post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I&#8217;ve had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid">this phone</a> for a bit now, and thought it time to give my thoughts on it.  They are basically positive—if you&#8217;re a nerdy guy, this is a good smartphone for you.</p>
<p>The pros are good pros for me, and the cons are cons that don&#8217;t bother me, but might be bad for other people.  I like the speed, UI, option for on-screen (for general use) or slide-out (for intensive, or <acronym title="Secure SHell">SSH</acronym>, use) keyboard.  I like the selection of apps (by which I mean that there&#8217;s a good, free, SSH app, and then other, very Google-oriented apps, and a Pandora app).</p>
<p>I like the battery life, I like the resolution, I like the camera.  I like running six different apps at a time, and I <em>still</em> like the battery life.</p>
<p>I think that the shape of it is very <em>male</em>, it&#8217;s a little thicker than I&#8217;d like (for fitting in my erstwhile cell-phone pockets), and many of the apps seem buggier than I&#8217;ve seen on the iPhone—but they&#8217;ve yet to be destructive bugs.  Mostly, the Twitter app I use complains that it needs to force-quit a lot, and then doesn&#8217;t, because, actually, it doesn&#8217;t need to.</p>
<p>This point is a slight win for the Droid over the iPhone: it can input extended latin characters quite easily, and — and … particularly, but it doesn&#8217;t have the fonts to display weirder Unicode, like ♆.</p>
<p>It can&#8217;t (yet) play arbitrary Flash embeds, so I can&#8217;t watch <acronym title="Zero Punctuation">ZP</acronym> on it.  But it can catch YouTube links and redirect them to the YouTube app.</p>
<p>In the end: nerdy guy, yes.  Anyone else, probably not.  Price is completely equivalent to the iPhone, in terms of data plan as well.</p>
