I just thought this would be a fun thread. Please post if you have any...

I have convinced 9 people to switch to the Droid.

5 converted from dumb phones
3 converted from Blackberries
1 converted from iPhone

By the way, not one of them that has already received their phone regrets the decision. They all LOVE the Droid!

VZW + Moto should be paying me. Unfortunately, they where either already on VZW, or they bought them (on the cheap) via the net (Newegg and Amazon), so I didn't get in on the $25 referral fee... :(
 
I would say I'm my first, the VZW guy actually took me from the Omnia to the Eris. He told me the only difference was the keyboard. Of course I read the forums here and decided to take it back and well we all know how I feel now. I have shown it to everyone I work with I must say how much the iPhone users look upon this device with such longing, such envy. That was stock/ now that I'm rooted they can't contain themselves over thwe live wallpapers alone.

If it is within 30 days, she can take it back. She might want to go to the Devour. If she goes from the Voyager to the Droid, she'll kick you in the junk for having to use the Droid's keyboard. It is just that much better on the 9800. Do yourself a favor, get a cup or get her a Devour.

Two of my friends, but they have the Eris because they don't like the way the Droid looks. Eh, I wouldn't base my decision on aesthetic appeal and either way, I think the Droid is the sexiest-looking electronic I own! ;)

When my dad's NE2 comes up in September, I'll be trying to convince him to get a Droid. Of course, he might hate using the touchscreen, but he can probably adjust for Skype calling that we're getting soon!
