My Droid hands-on/highlight (full review next week)

[Vincent]

Just wanted to drop a note to share with all the members that my Droid write up is published over on SlashGear. Ewdi's Droid just arrived from Verizon today - he'll have a review up for Android Community early next week as well.

I'm pretty impressed with the video you took with it.

Well, there's also this that doesn't require root: http://www.medieval.it/content/view/61/53/

I was asking to see if Android is still walking around lame.

Yes you can out of the box.

Hello Vincent. Thanks so much for the write up, I enjoyed reading it. I've made the decision to give the Droid a try which is a big switch for me coming from Blackberry.

My question for you is, do you know if this phone will have tethering support like most of the PDAs offered by Verizon? My job has their network locked down so I bring in my own laptop and tether my Blackberry. This is a HUGE selling point with me and honestly cannot make the switch unless it supports it.

Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Vincent: does VZ allow full access to the Android market as well as full access to all features of the phone? One compaint friends of mine have had with past VZ phones was the way they were locked down as far as hardware access and access to only VZ applications/games
