Twenty-first century digital boy

This weekend we finally took advantage of our freedom from contract slavery to AT&T and bought new phones, with new carrier and new plan. We got Motorola Droids, with service from Verizon.

If you've got experience, pro tips, or favorite apps please share.

The integration with the Google cloud has been nearly seamless and I'm having fun testing out the Google Nav app, which will probably remove my need to get a car GPS/nav system.

I managed to get most of the contact info from the old phone transferred over, though it lost some of the phone type information. Thus if I call your home when I should be calling your cell, I apologize in advance. If you want to leave me reminders of which number is which, or send me wholly new contact data so I can update, that would be appreciated.

(Yes, I know the iPhone is better in some ways, but I dislike the closed/locked approach and I really don't like the way Apple has treated developers in its store. Also, AT&T sucks and I wasn't psyched to re-up with them.)
