got hot, took a shower...

My first criteria is it has to be a good phone that easy to use.
then does it do the cool things.
If I have to put my glasses on to use it, it fails.
The absence of documentation irked me. and verizon's website is just awful
and oh yeah I get to pay another $40 a month per phone for the privilege.
So far the ONLY AP that looks interesting is the golf course GPS yardage finder.

I just got a new cell phone and frankly it does more than I can stand. I'd just like to make and receive calls and send text msgs. I can do the rest on my own without constant interference from my cell phone.

Is that $40 for the phone? The Verizon site lists $29 per month for the required data plan.

The Incredible has had incredibly positive reviews. Everyone seems to like it. I have a friend who works for Verizon Wireless and he said all his colleagues had a ball playing with it. The main selling points seems to be the speedy performance of the Snapdragon CPU and the 8 MP camera (with dual LED flash!)

Nope, not me.

I think I'll probably wait until I have made at least 10 phone calls on my current cell phone before I invest in a new one. I think that I am probably up to about 5 phone calls so far.

Oh, you probably weren't talking to me anyway, since I am definitely not a "technie."

I've had a Droid for several months now. I love it. It's quick - ther are lots of apps, and it is cool (in the Apple kind of cool). I've had people stop in the middle of meeting to ask me if my phone is a Droid and whether I like it or not.

It is very useful also. Just last week when I was in MA, we were looking for a restaurant. I could look it up, call it to make reservations, and then get directions to the restaurant all from my Droid.
