Dad is no longer losing the cell phone arms race

Okay, so my Uncle Omar got himself an HTC Droid Incredible several months ago, and he really enjoys it.

My Granma decided to get the same exact phone when she decided to upgrade her phone.

Dad had been holding out until January to get a new phone, waiting to see what was going on with Verizon Wireless and the iPhone. When the screen died on the phone, Dad decided to take the plunge now. He considered the Droid Incredible, but wanted to differentiate himself from Granma and Uncle Omar. He thought about the Samsung Galaxy, but some of the things he heard about that phone bothered him. He thought maybe he would need a physical keyboard and considered the Motorola Droid, but the specs were a little light compared to the phone he picked. He also considered the Droid R2D2 for the geek chic, but now that he thinks about it, no one would see the R2D2 shell when Dad put it in a case.

So, Dad decided to get a Motorola Droid X. It has the fast processor, it has a lot of memory, it has a big screen--Dad really likes it. It certainly sounds better than his last phone when the signal strength is not great. It as the many apps. Dad likes talking on the phone--it does not feel like talking on a waffle due to its size.

Dad got a case and belt holster for it, which is comfortable instead of carrying it his pocket. He also put a face shield on it which works well, but the application process did not go as smoothly as it could have, so there's some dust under the shield.

Big thumbs up from Dad for the Motorola Droid X!
