Re: [Elecraft] Droid

[NG3V]

I owned 2 for about a week.  Super WOW factor.  And, during that time I
downloaded a ton of free apps which were really neat and a lot of fun.  But
in the end, I confirmed that the battery life sucks.  I mean - really sucks.
A couple of hours just goofing off with the thing ran the battery down, and
yes, I did condition it like the book said to, so the capacity just isn't
what it should be.

In the end the real reason I took them back was that the phone just wasn't
as easy to use as a phone should be.  Too much other stuff and not enough
phone.

HOWEVER, if someone had sent this message to me before I got them, I would
just disregard it.  SO. What I recommend is that you get a free trial
(Verizon offers 30 days with a no-questions-asked return policy).  Then,
make up your own mind.

HTH,

Tom, ng3v

I bought a Droid Monday at a net price of $50.

I use it for email in IMAP mode so I can get through my
email  when I'm away from the computer (which is
set for POP email).  So I essentially use it to read and delete
email before it hits my computer thus decreasing the email
load at the computer.

Easy to use.
