[Hidden-tech] moto droid phone, something similar on at&T?

[Matt Lampiasi]

Hi
I did not hear about the negative kb reviews of the droid, thanks!  no i 
havent used one Daniel. Jeff i have the bold 9000, its the same keyboard 
and yes its very very good. my wife has said "youre typing that fast???" 
sometimes when im using it. the 9700 has that new trackball replacement 
which looks really cool, though ive never had a problem with my scroll 
as some report.
