I have been playing with it for half an hour and the one thing that I already do not like is the fact that I cannot seem to pinch and zoom like I can on my iTouch. You have to double tap to enlarge, and it doesn't increase in size anywhere near as much as the iTouch does. For someone like me with failing reading eyesight that's a big :td: because it means I have to have my reading glasses on, whereas on the iTouch I can enlarge it up the wazoo. :(

A police officer saw a car speeding down the highway. He started chasing after the speeder . When he got close he saw it was a blonde woman who was actually knitting while driving.

The cop yelled, Pull over!

The blonde shouted back, No! Its a sweater!

Sure have been a lot of these dinky little 100 mile offers lately. I still do them for both of our accounts though. I'll take every mile they'll give me, even if these aren't worth much.

Having used the Cliq, Droid, and Nexus One, the Nexus One is, in my opinion, the best of the three. The Motorola devices are very good, but I think the speed of the Nexus One's processor, and increased memory, gives it a big advantage. It also benefits from having the full Android OS feature set, with all the bells and whistles in the baseline OS, as opposed to modifications made by the phone's manufacturer, some of which are fine, and others, not so good. Motorola has also been painfully slow to roll out software updates, as well as to deal with annoying bugs like the Cliq's issue with randomly rebooting when connected to Wi-Fi. I'm also seeing much better battery life on the Nexus One than I did with the Cliq, despite the Nexus technically having a slightly smaller capacity battery.

Pinch to zoom wasn't enabled in the original 2.1 release, but has recently been enabled through updates. It is yet to be seen if the Motorola 2.1 releases will allow it, but hopefully they will. When I unboxed my Nexus the update wasn't on the device, but within an hour it notified me I had an update to install, and after doing the install, there was pinch to zoom in all its glory.

Can I have the Nexus One on Verizon? I googled it and it looks a lot like the Droid in terms of icons, etc.

Westin IAD $69 (Fri & Sat) incl breakfast for 2. Sun-Thurs are $99, which may be worth considering if you need to be in the area given the $100 Amazon GC Westin promo.

Get well soon, amigo. I've heard beaches and mai tais are generally an effective cure. I'm also not qualified to be a physician, even by the most lax accreditation standards of dubious Caribbean medical schools. :-:
