The Good: Applications. Lots of apps are available that will do a lot of very good things. The phones basically become a portable internet and communications terminal.
The Bad: Cell phone plans with data can be a little pricey and you /NEED/ data for a smartphone, like a Droid, to be useful.
The Good: VERY customizable home screens, lots of apps, removable microSD storage, removable battery, all info is backed up by google (so if you switch phones or lose your phone, it will re-download your contacts/wallpapers/homescreen setup), open source (for app programmers)
The Bad: Requires a data plan (Verizon is +$30 for unlimited data), mediocre battery life (about 16-20 hours with average use)
I'm happy with my Cricket android. It run 2.1 but I have the new Gingerbread launcher installed. It's a good starer android. Free apps galore, 100 bucks for the phone, 50 bucks a month unlimited everything, no extra data plan required. and no contract.
if you want to talk to some really knowlegable android people jump on google buzz. If you have a gmail account it is in there. I'm on there under my real name. I'll hook you up with some people to 'follow'
