In my last post, I talked about getting a Motorolla Droid 2 over the weekend. While I like my Droid and I think I'm going to be happy with it, truth be told I wanted a Blackberry. I mean I really, really wanted a Blackberry. I alway have. I have spent many hours of the last week researching and checking out the features of the various BB models, and probably just as many hours debating back and forth on whether to get a BB or a Droid.

So, why did I wind up getting the Droid?

So, I finally broke down and got a Droid 2 over the weekend. Actually, my wife and I each got one thanks to the "buy one, get one free" deal Verizon was having. I'm still getting used to how everything works on it, but so far I think I'm going to like it. I really haven't installed many apps yet, just a few games, an email client, and some Simpsons and Dave Chappelle sounds clips. :)

There are so many apps out there that it can be overwhelming when trying to figure out what to get, especially when don't even really know what's available. So, I figured I'd ping the tech community and get some suggestions from some "seasoned" Droid owners.

So, for those of you out there with Droids, what are some of your favorite apps?

So, I'm not much of a gadget guy. I know it's strange with me being in the tech field and all, but I just really don't care about having the latest and greatest smartphone/laptop/e-reader/gadget of the month. When I upgraded my last phone almost 2 years ago, I had been out of contract for so long that Verizon offered me any Blackberry I wanted for free, any of their other smartphones for free or under $50, and up to a $150 discount for any other phone that didn't fall in those categories. You want to know what I got? A Boulder, so when I drop it (over and over again) it won't hurt it. That's all I need. It makes phone calls, and if I get lost it has a compass. ;)

All that to say, you'll rarely hear me talk about gadgets. But, last week I got a new DSLR camera and I'm pretty excited about it.
