My OG rocks Liquid ICS and thanks to Groove IP I can still use it to make and receive WiFi phone calls on my Google Voice number even though Verizon deactivated it when I got my GNex. I own three replacement batteries so the OG is always available as a reliable standby phone. Its earned a permanent place in my tech arsenal and still comes in handy once in a while.

use my og D1 as a music player and alarm clock still, louder than my gnex with less static, and still play games on it because some games don’t have save functions on them so I can pause and come back to it later w/o the worry of a text or call resetting the game..

It’s sad to see how far they’ve fallen since then. The DROID was the promise of a new era, but Verizon being a U.S. carrier (and one of the worst of them when it comes to openness) quickly went back to its old ways. If they could get away with it now I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduced a phone where Bluetooth was locked down and the only way to get content on the phone was through their services.

I raised hell with VZW to give Mr a brand new OG Droid Days before Droid X came out. They finally gave in and overnighted me one in the box. Then I bought the Droid X for full retail. Needless to say I will be holding that little piece of nostalgia for all time.

I still use my OG droid on occasion but I do wish that Verizon would allow you to run two phones on one line without cost. If I had a GSM phone then I could just move the SIM to the other phone but nope. It’s verizon :/
