The benefits of this become immediately noticeable upon first use. You can set the notification light to be about 6 different colors. In addition, you can set a standard color for all your contacts and a specific color for a certain person. (For example, a text from my family comes with a blue notification, friends are green, and co-workers are orange). Besides the notification lights, you can also download all attachments from all text messages with a click of the button. It never Force Closes on me and is one of the best additions to the phone so far.

Does this application work with Google Voice?

Just picked up the Motorola Droid last night. I'm coming from an old non-smart phone so I'm still overwhelmed by all you can do.

Just take your time. I used a Blackberry for months beforehand, so it was a bit easier for me. My Ex-gf only had dumb phones, and it took her some time...but she loves it now.

Thanks. I was already with Verizon so all my contacts and voice mail stuff was setup for me at purchase time. I already had gmail and google talk so that stuff worked out of the box. Luckily it has a slide-out keyboard -- I suck at using the virtual keyboard

The wide virtual KB isnt too bad...thin mode sucks though. Especially with a screen protector.

My battery useage has dropped by at least 50% since the 2.1 upgrade. I'm a happy camper!

For those who just bought the Droid or are contemplating any new phone, I would wait a few more weeks for the HTC Incredible. I've been waiting on this phone or the Nexus One to be released for about 2 months now, and it looks like the Incredible is coming out on the 26th!

Far too generic of a question man

All depends on your service provider, and the types of phones you like. Full-touchscreen? Qwerty keyboard?

What are you going to use your phone for? Primarily phone stuff like calling? Media? Do you need to be connected 25/7? Do you use Google a lot? Do you have a gmail account at all? How important is phone speed to you? Do you want a lot of flexibility in what you can do? Do you want a powerful camera? Do you want the ability to record solid video? How important is a user interface to you?
