Yes, all you new android converts should start paying attention to the following websites:
http://androidandme.com/
http://phandroid.com
http://www.androidguys.com/

Also, when I get wind that the droid has been successfully rooted (root was achieved on both the Hero and Cliq yesterday, oh the modding goodness begins), I'll let you know.

Sounds good, I'm looking forward to a better camera and some multi touch apps

By the way, to those of us who dont have the Droid, Google Maps with Navigation has been successfully ripped out of the Droid framework and can now be installed on any rooted G1/MyTouch/Hero/Cliq/Eris.

I am glad I don't have to do all that! LOL!

They actually simplified it. Theres now a batch file you can run that does it all for you.

Mine will be here tomorrow. Got to love Verizon and the insurance on phones. After much debate with them I got my Droid for 50.00 as a replacement for my 6800. SWEET. Looking forward to it. Five of my co-workers have it and have nothing bad at all to say about it.

Thas awesome Bubba, I have no doubt you're going to like it.
And its official boys and girls, the miraculous hack and slash team at XDA can now make your G1 do everything a Droid can do (with the exception of not having a 5MP flash camera...im speaking strictly software here).

Heres the screencap of the "About Phone" menu from my G1.

But can you get 3G in the middle of BFE?

Just kidding

Verizon's 3G coverage is badass

DockRunner Acts Like Droid Multimedia Dock… For Free

Only had my Droid for a few hours but I got to say I love this thing.

I have had mine for almost a week now, and it totally rocks. Honestly, I am not to sure how I survived without one. Forgot a list at home? No problem, look it up online. Is this a good price for this book? Use shopsavvy and compare prices.

Android FTW

**Reaperassault** · 11-13-2009, 01:14 AM

my sentiments exactly

**Ferris Bueller** · 11-13-2009, 05:47 AM

Win.

**Bubba** · 11-14-2009, 09:14 AM

After having the Droid for a couple of days I see one thing that I need, a good media player. Anyone have any good ideas on which one I should look for?
Thanks.

Honestly I haven't even added my music on here - I've been using the pandora.com app for music.... so amazing have that everywhere I go!!
