I've had this phone for a while now and it is FANTASTIC!
I upgraded to it from a blackberry storm thinking it wouldn't be that different from one smart phone to another, but boy was I wrong!

I love my Droid; there are SO many more wonderful apps available for it and it I love that it syncs everything with my gmail.

I am NOT very good with phones (tend to beat up on them a lot) but I have NEVER had any problems with this one breaking or anything.

I have had this phone for the last one year and so far it has been good and reliable. It looks sleek and the build quality is very strong. I recommend upgrading your Android OS to Froyo for the best performance.
