Am working on hacking GeekOS and would if all possible to get a copy of your project so I can both understand a different perspective on building the GeekOS and also to see how it should operate.

You can also specify a carriage return by ‘\r’ instead of ^v+^m so you can do this in fewer keystrokes:

:%s/\r//g

If you download 1.0b4 from the link above and then let it auto-update it will get the new 1.2 version.

thanks for posting this Adam. the battery life problems and crashing in core apps is something I just haven’t experienced with my droid, so I wonder if you had a bit of a lemon. even if so, that still sucks.

for the difficulty in quickly navigating around to apps, I would suggest using the quick search box; you can always get to the global search by hitting the search key a couple times (once to bring up in app search, again to pop out to global), and from there you can launch apps, go to contacts, etc, and the frequently used stuff is shortcutted and immediately available on subsequent uses.

while the music experience is a bit clunky I admit, I actually find myself using pandora, last.fm and imeem more than listening to my own music, and with the ability to stream from these in the background combined with verizon’s awesome network makes the droid a pretty good music device for me.

and aside from the use cases you mention, there are just some many things I can do with droid that kick ass, like make outgoing calls from google voice, use turn by turn directions, quick access to voice search, track my runs with cardiotrainer, sync all my contacts and email from multiple gmail accounts…

but overall, good feedback, i’ll forward on to my former co-workers; hopefully you’ll have a better experience next time

I thouht this was a well written article especially because you left out all other devices and focused on your likes and dislikes of the droid and google android platform. Most reviews I have read just compare to the iPhone and it gets old. I love my iPhone but have been curious about droid and the android platform. In my opinion I think that if I was going to change I would just wait and get the palm pre. I think it is a much better phone than the droid.

@anthony even tho there are obvious comparisons between the droid an the iphone I was trying to evaluate the droid on its own merits without bringing the iphone into it.

Can’t wait to see what happens with chokehold :)
