If you are a tech lover, there is nothing quite like the launch day of a much hyped new gadget. Expectations run high. And since those expectations are rarely satisfied once you have the special little device in hand, it\u2019s a moment to savor. In the hours before you own it, that device is perfect in every way. It will make you happier, a better person. There are no bugs, there are only features. It is whatever you want it to be.<\/p>\n
Launch day of a new cool gadget is the closest thing to being a kid again on Christmas day (or whatever your winter solstice holiday of choice). You\u2019ve anticipated the day. You\u2019ve called in sick to work. And you are standing out in the freezing cold at 7 in the morning, hoping your place in line assures you a device before the carefully-planned sell out occurs. You\u2019ve worked yourself into\u2026a Fever Pitch.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always been let down with the real world gadget after that high of anticipation. But that\u2019s ok. It\u2019s part of the cycle of tech.<\/p>\n
Today is Droid day. In just a few hours Verizon stores will open and the first customers will get their hands on their very own Droid.<\/p>\n
And I promise you, if you are one of the people waiting in line, you will have a much lower than average amount of letdown. That\u2019s because, in my humble opinion, the Droid is the coolest mobile phone to exist to date. It is as close as we\u2019ve come to the Platonic ideal of a smartphone. It\u2019s very existence ensures that the next iPhone will be even better than it otherwise would have been. Competition is good.<\/p>\n
Yes, this is an unabashed love letter to the Droid. If you want the dispassionate reviews, we\u2019ve got em. And then some. That isn\u2019t what this post is about.<\/p>\n
