So I have had my Droid since Feb. 24th. Prior to that I had an Eris since Dec 28th.
Here are my observations/opinions on the differences with them..
My positive impressions of the Droid:
Things I have yet to do:
My issue with K9 mail was also when it pushed mail if there were ones I read previous on my PC but not on the Phone, they would not update unless I polled Gmail, seems liek the sync is better with Gmail for this, I was hoping if I got IMAP pushed, then I read an email it would update the Server like Gmail..
I will be trying out the latest version of K9 to see if there are improvements for where I feel it has issues..
Here are my observations/opinions on the differences with them..
My positive impressions of the Droid:
- considerably faster then the Eris, no real noticeable lag. quite a nice improvement in my eyes..
- Android 2.0.1
- Multiple accounts in Gmail App
- Rooted
- Higher Resolution Screen
- Pinch Zoom, in browser and Gallery (yes it is personal Preference)
- Swipe in Gallery, that is annoyig to have to tap then choose the direction to move to the next picture
- Text Message program, was nicer in Eris
- Contact information and access
- Stock Music Player is nicer
- Keyboard
- 7 Screens (well more then 3)
- Rooted on Feb 25th, with Pete's Bugless Beast 1.1 which gave me the pinch zoom and swipe in gallery
- I also got some more sounds that I had in the Eris
Things I have yet to do:
- Install the HTC keyboard, but waiting to see if Landscape mode gets fixed
- Find a Different Text Message program.
