Matt, Yeah, this Droid thingy does look pretty darn cool...NOT tempting for me...but probably will be for a lot of people similar to yourself, who wants/needs a physical keyboard and the other things the iphone is missing (that I don't really care about). Could it be the real competitor to the iphone. also, a little extra tidbit of info... apparently, Verizon is increasing their early contract termination fee to $350!! holy smokes, looks like their trying really hard to fend off all the folks jumping ship! ...the drama continues...
