Well, i hate it. Every single phone I've had sucked compared to the one before it, ignoring the capabilities of the soc. I miss my pixel4a compared to my current pixel6a. When I had a galaxy7, I hated it compared to my galaxy2. Nothing compares to the original droid, that was the best phone I ever had.

Now there's a new phone? I bet i'll hate it.

Was the droid that one that goes "DROID!" in a robotic voice when you turn it on?

Motorola Droid (the entire lineup) yeah. They kickstarted androids popularity. My father had one, by my suggestion. A friend had one in my hs days.

The HTC Dream/T-Mo G1 (another friend had one of those as well) started it all, but the advertising that moto had was the real push.

I still have mine. Sucks they killed all the bands for it.

Galaxy S3 was peak design imo.

It was inspired by those smooth pebbles you'd see in a river bed, as I recall.

I am still using a pixel 3xl and probably will until the battery dies.
