Ever since the Nexus-1 has come out, I've noticed a great deal of Nexus envy on the part of many Droid owners. This has to stop. There are going to be dozens of Android phones released over the next year, each one claiming to be better than the next. At this moment, the Droid is still the best Android phone on the market in my opinion. I know that the Nexus has a "faster" processor, but I haven't seen evidence yet that the features are any faster than the Droid and if they are, my guess is it will be marginal.
The Droid is still the best Android phone with a physical keyboard. I personally use the keyboard, I know that not everyone feels the same way. Yes, we need to get 2.1 on the Droid.
As a Droid owner at least for the next 2 years, the best thing we can do is "encourage" Motorola to improve on the base Android system to keep the Droid at the forefront of software technology.
Just to get started here are some things Motorola could do to separate the Droid from the pack -
1) Add Multitouch to the Droid or create Multitouch applications
2) Create a great music player for Droid only
3) License content (movies, music) and provide for free with the Droid
4) License one of the home screen replacements and make it the Droid default
Real Droid problems should be addressed however, many of the Droid problems being reported are actually Android problems being assigned to the Droid.
Instead of bashing the Droid, lets encourage a strong community to get us the best product possible.
