Detailed review
I have been using a BB Curve 8330 for the past year and a half. The Android 2.0 is light years ahead of the BB even their newest OS5.0. I played with both a Droid and the BB Storm 2 and chose the Droid with no hesitation. The Droid really does everything and well. The physical keyboard is not as good as the one on the BB 8330 but it is usable.

There are some minor lags once in a while but it is so much better than the 8330. Sometime the Curve will just sit there with a spinning hour glass for minutes. The Droid is blazing fast.

The turn by turn direction is just plain awesome. There are a few things that needs improvement. It needs a night mode and dim the display. And it would be nice to customize it with additional info like arrival time, current speed, and remaining miles to destination.

Really digging the "Droid" notification sound. Even my brother in law wants it for his iPhone.
