Great Platform, Stretched HardwareJun 22, 2011
By Mike C.
I purchased this phone about a year ago and was initially ecstatic about the device's features as well as the intuitiveness of the Android platform itself. However, at the release of this device the Android platform was still growing and functioned in a much less advanced capacity than it currently does. Through several updates of core firmware, as well as various software updates to apps, the phone has become sluggish and often unresponsive.
Long story short, the hardware hasn't kept up with the every-growing demands on the software front. The Android Marketplace offers a great breadth of content that is simply impractical to run on this outdated hardware. If you're looking to have a phone that keeps up with current technological trends, think twice before investing in this sucker.
Also, battery life tends to become absolutely abysmal after the first 6-8 months or so, so definitely think about investing in some backup batteries.

Great Phone!Feb 09, 2011
By C. J. Glover
I've had this phone for a while now and it is FANTASTIC!
I upgraded to it from a blackberry storm thinking it wouldn't be that different from one smart phone to another, but boy was I wrong!
I love my Droid; there are SO many more wonderful apps available for it and it I love that it syncs everything with my gmail.
I am NOT very good with phones (tend to beat up on them a lot) but I have NEVER had any problems with this one breaking or anything.

 Great phone for its timeOct 19, 2011
By WVaMason
I've had my original Droid for almost two years now, longer than most phones have lasted. I don't use screen or any other protectors on it and as it has been dropped numerous times it is definitely the most durable phone I've had. A little sluggish now but like any other computer they quickly become outdated.

Great phone.Jan 16, 2011
By sr
I have had this phone for the last one year and so far it has been good and reliable. It looks sleek and the build quality is very strong. I recommend upgrading your Android OS to Froyo for the best performance.
