Those familiar with my life know this week has been a little insane. From Phoenix to San Fran and back home–then there was the other drama I ordered my new Google Droid phone, powered by the 3G network of Verizon last Saturday. Shoot dang, I’m not the most gizmo obsessed person on the planet. I’ve never been much for video games or been obsessed with too many things, but this thing is just so dang cool.

There has been a lot of talk about integration with various smartphones. I spent like two hours just downloading a bunch of apps–which were mostly useless. I think my personal favorite is the Pandora app, which allows me to listen to virtually uninterupted radio of my choosing right on my phone. One thing that impresses me is the fact that the screen seems clearer than that of the iPhone. There are a couple of downsides worth mentioning. First, the storage space is somewhat minimal for music. It’s not like the iPhone where I can have like 16 Gigs–unfortunately.

Another thing I found as a downside is the physical keyboard is somewhat small for my fat little thumbs. The on-screen keyboard is much better for sending text messages and writing emails.

All-in-all, I like the stupid thing. My favorite part about it is the ability for me to communicate anytime, anywhere and in any method I want. It’s freakin’ sweet.
