I have the Droid, and LOVE it. I hated my crackberry. I have Verizon, and get near perfect reception, rarely drop a call (unless it is because of the touch screen being touched by my fat face), and can't believe how much simpler life is with a 'smart' phone. Makes me smarter, I swear. I have my calendar on it, it links through google, so it is backed up daily. I like conveniences, like microwaves, toaster ovens, coffee makers, pre-set radio station buttons, a/c, etc. Could I live without them? Sure, but why would I want to?

Pom- you aren't elderly. You are elderly/NR. If you ever look at the real estate ads, you should get that one quickly. LOL.
