I have a Motorola Droid. I love it. Its changed my life. Well, maybe not that dramatic but it was definitely a step up from the old LG flip phone that was looking rather dated. I was excited to try out something new and I keep trying out new things. I have a rooted droid with Cyanogenmod and I love it. The frequent updates and customizations are wonderful. You can really see the power looking forward using one of these phones with video calling on the horizon the future is looking pretty cool. One thing that really sucks though is a crappy app. I’ve installed the Verizon-exclusive Skype app for my phone thinking it’d be nice to make wifi calls and such over the voip provider. But for some reason, which is beyond me, its 3G only. It doesn’t even try to work with WIFI, it just says you need to disable WIFI and be on a 3G network to make calls or use the app for messaging. What a load of crap. I do have a theory on why they’re doing this. Verizon either wants to convince you VOIP sucks and so does Skype by working only over somewhat unreliable 3G or they want you to use a lot of your data so they can overcharge you somehow. Thats why I’m uninstalling Skype and just using Fring instead. Its free and it makes Skype voice and video calls over wifi, 3g, whatever. And that makes you see how cool the future is. Being able to make a voip call over a cellular phone over wifi or 3g, doing a video chat, and chatting it up on the Skype IM service.
