Hi guys,

I'm looking for a new smartphone. Ideally, this phone would be easy to use in the car, have hardware powerful enough to last a couple of years, and also have GPS to get me places while I'm driving.

I've been looking at the Motorola Droid because I *think* it meets all those requirements. Especially cool since it comes with Google Maps and you can speak to the Droid while it's mounted and in GPS mode, then will get you directions.

I've also been happy on the Verizon network, so I figured the Droid would be a safe bet. Plus it's now $100 with a deal I found through BuyDroidPhones.com

I'm just wondering if anyone else has other recommendations? Maybe a phone on another network that they've been happy with?

Droid is what I have now. I make my iPhone buddies look stupid.

I have a phone that dials other phones and also receives calls ..... pretty happy about that.

But we live in a detached society. We need to have our words represented in black on white

You know what, I think you are correct. I remember a time when I could guarantee I wouldn't get anything done on a weekend, because of friends dropping in unnounced with a slab of beer, meat and some salads. The only phone calls were from my mum making sure I was still alive. These days there has to be emails, text messages, whiten the teeth, wear shoes even........ I want to know who decided we should all become conversational retards.

I have a Nokia of some sort... It does the job!

Are you allowed to use your phone while driving?

I have one of those too
I can even walk a block away and still get a signal
But I also have a non-bling-bling Motorola with the flip out key pad because though I resisted for 15 years saying they are rediculous (especially all the 6 year olds I see talking on their cell's) I realized eventually I needed one, even though I never use it.

The Droid?

No the first part I was talking about a cordless house phone. But I have a Motorola Rival.
