It's amazing the difference in performance between this OG and my Day 1 D1. It's like a completely diff phone. It reminds me of how my phone was a year ago.

I do miss my bubbly keyboard, though.

Very strange... I wonder what the issue was???

I remember the day my droid got messed up. I was at the beach and some kid decided to throw my droid into the water while I wasn't looking. Boy did I want to kill him but obviously I didn't. It hit me right then and there that my days with the OG were over. I am out of replacements on Asurion somehow and I can't seem to find another OG for cheap. I even tried finding a droid incredible but those are still pretty expensive. Now I'm stuck with my super ancient blackberry that shuts off every 2 minutes while trying to watch a movie on its terrible screen.

Did you try Swappa? They have some pretty reasonable prices for all kinds of Android phones

I just found my Droid on Craigslist for $50. I think it is faster than my Eris.

I'm a little late to chime in on this one, but I recently ran into the same issue (dropped my Droid, screen cracked but still worked). Amazon has the Droid touch screen for about $25 w/ free shipping. Looks like there are only a couple left.

Amazon.com: Verizon Motorola Droid A855 Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement Glass Repair Part: Electronics

I ordered it and a cell phone repair shop nearby installed it for $40. So I was able to fix it for $65. Even if I end up getting a replacement by the end of the year, it was worth it for me to get it fixed rather than upgrade too soon. I think I'm going to be using my Droid until Motorola releases a phone running Ice Cream Sandwich.

If Motorola secures the bid for the next Nexus phone, I will be a VERY happy man.

That's certainly cheaper than the repair shop I found. They had the glass and would have charge $85 all in all. Wasn't feasible when I could replace the entire phone for $50 with Asurian. But if you didn't have insurance, def a good way to go.

And Motorola Nexus phone would be pretty freaking sweet.

Here is a eBay auction for NICE Droid 1

. I probably should have said "make me an offer" on here but I have been meaning to list some of my devices for awhile now. I doubt this will sell for more than $100 but I haven't actually paid attention to the "going rates" for the D1 lately.

Motorola Droid (Verizon) Smartphone Mint Condition - eBay (item 110707746153 end time Jul-03-11 14:05:15 PDT)

I have a Fascinate on there as well but that will sell for a lot more.

Well, it finally happened ...
