Love My DROID PhoneSo I bought my new smart phone about four months ago.  I got Verizon's DROID using the Google Andriod operating system.  And can I just tell you how much I love this phone?  I love the built-in GPS system that allows me to use Google Maps and the search function that lets me se...
