Hello all! I am a proud new Droid owner and LOVING it so far! I have made a couple posts before my Droid arrived today but now it's official!!!

First I want to say the Droid does NOT seem blocky to me at all. I came from an enV2 and that thing was MUCH thicker than the Droid. There is a big learning curve for me since this is my first Smartphone. But I am liking it A LOT!!!

A few questions though...


  1. How do you guys clean your screen? I noticed it gets fingerprinted up very quickly. I know its quality glass so scratches should be minimum.
  2. When the Droid goes to sleep is the only way to turn it back on is to push the power button on top? And also, what is that lock thing you have to swipe every time it awakens?
  3. What applications do all of you suggest I get. I have read about and installed Handcent SMS, Beautiful Widgets and Google Sky Maps. I am still reluctant to install a task killer just yet from what I have read here...
  4. What's the easiest way to get my Firefox bookmarks into the Droid?
I am sure i will have more questions as I go. I have been on this forum for about a week now it it seems like good people here!

Thanks!
