So I saw a preview on tv today of Fantastic Mr. Fox:
[link]I must say, I'm kinda excited to see it... it's stop animation style is fresh and something I don't see that often... not only that but it has BILL Freak'n MURRAY in it! It looks like it's going to be full of lots of laughs and so that will be on my short list of movies that I must see.

And I picked up my Verizon Droid phone yesterday, what do I think of it? On the whole, I love this phone! It definietly has some issues that need to be worked out in software updates... but this phone just works so well and the software takes itself half-hearted... as in it's just a tickle to play with... yes I said tickle.
The screen is goregous, the docking station is awesome, the gps unit flips my lid... call quality is amazing! Amazing because I live in a metal roof house with concrete walls... that usually spells doom for cell phones... not the droid! I get 3G reception in nearly every room of the house... I didn't even get reception with my old phone, let alone 3G reception.
Verizon customer service is also top notch. I had to call today because Best Buy screwed up my registration and I couldn't use the phone because it couldn't be "authenticated". First the rep apologized for the error, refunded my $35 activation fee and then promptly went to work to solve my problem. She actually said that she thinks I was their first caller with a droid problem :3
They were told that it was going to be a flawless launch without error so she was surprised that I called with a droid issue. Mind you it wasn't actually a droid issue but an activation issue. She again apologized for the inconvenience and sent me to their tech support specialist. He had me reactivate the phone again and now it works perfectly. Oh and build quality is amazing!
With all this gushing though, there is some short comings:
-Phone isn't as intuitive as the iphone (I have an Itouch)
-you can accidentally trip over the home keys and get unpleasant results (the four hot keys at the bottom)
-It likes to try to auto correct everything, without your say! D:
-I actually really like the slide out keyboard and my main grip is with the virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard is only -good for when your in landscape view... in a vertical view... the keys are just way to small. They are all smooshed in and are hard to hit correctly.
-no multi-touch(yet) it can support it so it'll probably be enabled down the line
For me, these are minor though. I've heavily used my itouch and i've even played with an iphone. In the end the Iphone is still a cleaner and more polished unit, however; I truly love this droid more so then the iphone. There is just something about this device that makes it stick out from all the other phones.
If you are looking for a new phone, then I recommend the Droid. A solid A/A- product!
P.S. I had no problem getting the unit at Best Buy the other day, however; I went to the Verizon store to pick up some accessories and they were MOBBED with people. I asked if it was because of the droid they said "We sold 40 yesterday... and still selling strong. I just got here [for work] so I don't know if it's been like this all day... but yeah it's pretty crowded at the moment."
I do hope the droid succeeds
