I know a few people with Droids that have the issue of the battery cover falling off. The video above describes how to fix the issue. Pretty simple and only requires a flat head screwdriver. I haven’t had any issues with my Droid but trying this would be better than dealing with trying to return it.

If you just got a brand new phone wouldn’t you want to jam your keys against the screen? Me either, but luckily someone has already done the work for us. You can see by the video above that the screen is fairly durable. I still wouldn’t try this but it might mean that the Droid can hold up to your pocket wear and tear.

There is a new Droid commercial being aired. I have embedded the video above. They are putting a lot of marketing into this phone and I think it’s well worth it from what I have read so far. I had plans of camping out for it but once again Verizon is causing problems. I have received an email and 2 letters trying to get me to upgrade my phone. I called to verify that is correct explaining that I don’t want to camp out if I can’t get it. They said I can’t upgrade at their 2-year price but it will only cost $50 more. I’m calling again tomorrow to triple check that info. I had a similar issue with the Storm but was denied the upgrade. I canceled plans to camp out, tried to get it on the phone with no luck. Next day they sent me a text telling me to call to upgrade and they said yeah you can upgrade. I had the Storm the next day. I’m guessing that for some reason their mailing department and my online account aren’t matching up. That’s fine for some people but not for someone like me that wants to take advantage of every upgrade your willing to give me.

I’m still holding onto hope that I can get Droid on Friday.

Verizon announced the Motorola Droid today with a launch date of November 6th. I have decided that this will be my new phone as I give up on the Blackberry Storm. The phone looks good and will be running Android 2.0 which features exchange support. Google today announced turn-by-turn navigation for Android 2.0. Boy Genius has a preview of the Droid if your still unsure if you should upgrade to it. I’m excited for the launch.
