[Hidden-tech] Ack... Palm died... your experience / thoughts on Droid?

My daughter rally loved her moto Droid. 
Until this weekend. 
It got the dreaded "endless reboot loop" disease, which is apparently 
pretty common.. Verizon took the phone back and gave her full credit, 
she ended up with a Blackberry and a chunk of money on a prepaid debit card.
