Yeah, Engadget's review was good, but certainly not as nitty-gritty as you could get on a CE device. It's not dpreview or anything

I don't think there's much of a question that the Droid is the best Verizon phone, but that's for lack of competition. What's going to challenge it? The Storm 2? Ugh! The Tour is probably the only other phone competing with it, and while more businesses will probably go with the Tour, I wouldn't consider any Blackberry phone to be better than the Droid.
I can't see the Droid drawing people away from other carriers. I think for that to happen you have to be substantially better than the phones on the carriers you're trying to draw people away from, like the iPhone was when it first came out and stole all those Sprint subscribers. I think the Droid can nearly go toe to toe with the iPhone, but it's not quite a match. It's definitely a great phone, though, and if Android suits you (as it does me), there's simply nothing better out there right now.
