Motorola Droid
I'm taking my droid back, but does anyone know???
This phone just isn't for me.
A question. I purchased it on my "new every 2" cycle, can I return the phone and go back to my old blackberry, or will it have to be an 'exchange' since I effectively signed a new 2 year contract with the purchase?
I want to return it and wait for the next Verizon release later this year or early next year.
Anyone know the rules on this?

You can take it back, pay the restocking fee and wait for the next phone.
Just curious, why are you returning your droid. Going through Blackberry withdrawls? I am too. I am debating keeping the Droid.

Yes take it back and they will delete the contract. I'm taking mine back as well I just haven't decided what I am going to switch to.
The Droid was a whole lot of hype without much to substantiate it.

Robkhb,
I am taking my back and exchanging it for a BlackBerry Curve 8530 that comes out on Friday 11/20.

I just read a little about the Curve 8530. Do you know if there's a charge for connecting using the Wi-Fi on open Wi-Fi hotspots, etc? I'm wondering if I can connect to the net in places like Starbucks or on my home network without accruing charges.
...
There is no charge for using wifi unless the wifi hotspot has a charge associated with it.
I believe starbucks is a paid hotspot, so there will be a charge there, but your home network will be free.
I ran the Droid for three days just off wifi while I waited for it to activate.

Thanks for the reply. It's helpful to know that Wi-Fi can be used to keep data usage over the broadband network down.
FYI Starbucks Wi-Fi used to cost money when it was operated by Tmobile. Now it is essentially free, but it requires a little legwork. You have to buy a gift card (for any amount), register the card on the Starbucks website and create a Wi-Fi account. Then you can login to the Wi-Fi at any Starbucks cafe for no charge. You only have to use the gift card to make a purchase once every thirty days to keep the account valid. That may seem like a hassle compared with open Wi-Fi, but I think it makes the network safer and if you're a Starbucks patron anyway the extra setup is trivial.
