I got a $100 BB gift card so it was around $100 out-the-door for me + the clear shield I got for the phone. > [@Downtown Lunch](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/downtown-lunch/25495/34): > > I got the droid yesterday and absolutly love it, its much different than the iphone in many ways but for me its in better ways. Not as out of the box intuitive but many more options for customization. > > Also you can download apps like ringdroid to help you make custom ring tones from songs. I have yet to put any music on my phone though, just using Pandora. > > Edit: size wise its almost exactly the same as Iphone. I absolutely love it too! don’t even need to put music in once you have Pandora, Slacker and LastFM installed. > [@fs 1994 firebird $1000 obo needs finishing /vid added](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-1994-firebird-1000-obo-needs-finishing-vid-added/25086/66): > > I guess iPhone users are on the same page about the droid matter. > > It’s a fantastic phone, but it doesn’t have anything so revolutionary, spectacular or mind blowing that would make me regret the purchase of the iPhone, or even really want to go after a droid. > > I know, if I started using a droid right now, I’d miss some of the fine tune features that iPhone spoiled me on. > > Plus after 4 years with them, I hate Verizon, even if it does have the best damn coverage. > > Let me put it this way, if iPhone didn’t exist I’d be using a Droid right now. I too don’t think there is enough in the phone for iphone owner to switch, not to mention switching carrier. However, IMO, Driod is the best iPhone alternative. > [@do it urself paint](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/do-it-urself-paint/25530/2): > > Anyone know how to disable the need for the unlock slider thing? Every time I want to use the phone it has to be woken up and then unlocked, gets tedious.
