You've bought the DROID, so now what?
If you're anything like me, you grew up taking apart new gadgets without thinking about how you were ever supposed to put your new toy back together again. Luckily, that was a long time ago and we have the Internet now. In case you didn't know, the World Wide Web is full of people more willing and or capable of performing such surgeries.
Today's skilled surgeons are the folks over at PhoneWreck. Dr. Wreck has posted all of the images and is in the process of identifying all the different bits and pieces. Follow him on Twitter for updates.
If you're brave enough to try this at home, check out the step-by-step process here.











(love my 'droid so far, BTW)
It's on the G1 as well. I do have to admit I'm a bit jealous, unfortunately this phone was not released on the T-Mobile network otherwise I'd have one of these bad boy's already in hand. Hopefully HTC or Motorola gets something better rolled out on T-Mo's network, My G1 feels outdated
I feel the same way, my USCellular's HTC Touch PRO feels way outdated compared to the HTC hero and It came out for USC only about 5 months ago.
Yeah, I heard the battery life is pants. Wasn't sure if it was true or not. Kinda blows that you can't depend on any smartphone for more than a day. Ah, one day...
So glad I got it!
The multimedia dock is a ridiculous rip off. I'll buy the car dock once it's $5 for a knock off. The navigation works really well. As far as I know it's the only GPS in the world that gives you a satellite view while you're driving.
That being said, I like my brother's 3G more. The droid is too much like a little computer with a phone application. The iPhone focuses more on the phone. I have no "end call" button when I call from a facebook link or others and I have to be at the home screen to launch the phone. Apple's OS is better, not necessarily the device itself.
On a side note, I just recently heard the droid commercials and they suck. Great phone, terrible marketing.

I loved the commercials. I thought they were great.
Agreed that the iPhone is incredibly difficult to take apart. The feeling you get while disconnecting the ribbons for the LCD is terrifying.
I picked up a Droid Eris last night and I love it. It's about time Verizon got a couple of killer smart phones.
