I love reading about how my phone is going to be even better soon. Never had a phone that updates itself on a regular basis and gets better with each update.

I hadn't realized until reading the article that Google Maps on the Droid has multitouch now. I just tried it and it works great.

This would be great. I love my Droid, but multi-touch zooming is the one iPhone feature that I still envy.

Makes me kind of sad to be still using the G1...

You ought to give CyanogenMod a try; it's breathed new life into my G1. I installed it yesterday after my home screen's several-second rendering time pushed me over the tipping point.

It's easier to install than it seems, noticeably faster/smoother, and the Browser and Gallery apps both support multitouch.
