My Motorola DROID report is finally done and should be posted this morning.

Other phones that have shown up recently are the Sony Ericsson Equinox and LG's New Chocolate (BL40).

Please note: I had been following the growth of Twitter since before it launched and deliberately avoided it in a futile attempt to limit my distractibility - ooh, look - a birdie!  I finally gave in to requests from clients, journalists, and PR agents and got a Twitter account a few weeks ago. Posts are mostly work/industry related (i.e., no Tweeting my food). You can follow me at AviGreengart.
