Changing phones

I've been a loyal Palm Treo user for most of the last 8 years. Sure, I dallied with a Pocket PC, tasted a Blackberry. But in the end the Palm was always first in my mind. Enter the reality that is Verizon. I live in Montana where Verizon, not copper or gold, is king. Choose another carrier and you coverage resembles 1980's Ma Bell. Poor.
Today I bought the Motorola Droid...quite the nifty device. I may yet prove intelligent enough to utilize most of its features. One direct plus is that in reviewing my contact list I found the password for my blogger account. It had apparently been buried deep in the Palms innards only to be excavated by Google's unflagging attempts to be convenient. It just showed up in my contacts list and I followed it here like a moth to a flame. Let's hope that the posts will be a bit more predictable
