[QUOTE="eternal_capture, post: 1011950, member: 101460"] Got a hold of a Motorola Droid and while it isn't perfect, it is better than the Palm Pre Plus if you ask me. Still no easy sync solutions, but here is what I found out: iSnyc doesn't work with it. Bluetooth doesn't let you "browse" the device, but it WILL send files to it. I was able to get my contacts, photos, music (and turn into ringtones), and iCal events onto the Droid without having to deal with Google Sync. It gives you a warning message, something about the phone not being able to read the file or something, but when you send the file anyway, it opens with no problem. iCal and Address book files won't send through Bluetooth, only the USB. However, I don't have an easy answer for syncing the phone to your computer, which was the main thing I was trying to find out. I did see there's an app to sync the phone to your computer for $3.99 as opposed to the much more expensive Missing Sync App for the Palm. For both phones, like the iPhone, the USB cable is part of the charging cable so you don't have to pay extra for it. The Droid is definitely faster than the Palm and I appreciate that it has the physical and on screen keyboard out of the box. It doesn't have the pinch screen, but that isn't a deal breaker for me. I'm going to buy the Motorola Droid and the $3.99 sync app and will let you know if it works as well as I am hoping it does. [/QUOTE]
