Detailed review
I've had the Droid for a few months now and am mostly happy with it. It feels heavy in the hand, but I like that. The screen is gorgeous, and there are plenty of apps out there. One of the biggest appeals is supposed to be the keyboard, but I've found it to be kind of lame and useless. It syncs well with everything I need it to, and the lack of built-in media management can be easily solved with apps.
As for the bad news, I've found it had some weird bugs over time. Once a week it will just stop responding, and when it does go back up, it's extremely unresponsive. I'm sure this has to do with the amount of apps I've thrown on, but it shouldn't be doing that. This morning actually there's a weird bug where the notification sound is taken from a game I play on the phone. I didn't set that up and i didn't want it. Also, my roommate has the Nexus One, and boy am I envious.
Overall, I'm happy with the Droid but don't know if it will keep me happy for the next 18 months or so.
