Droid Questions

A couple of quick questions I found someone on the BGR was asking about the droid.

1) Like the IPhone, will the Droid have software to back up the system so just in case the phone crashes or screws up some how, it can easily be recovered?
2) Like the IPhone, with the texting feature of saving the conversations between texts, will the Driod have this?
3) Like the IPhone, on the recovery of the IPhone, all the settings were placed back on the IPhone just like before, will the Droid have this feature?
4) Like the IPhone, will the Driod have unlimited access to either WiFi or internet connection with only the $30.00 data package, or will we they also charge minutes or per data download?

Thanks 4 the help!

I would love to buy one if it were available on Verizon.

Until then I will just have to pine for it making covetous eyes at it from afar.

Only one I can answer with 100% certainty is #4, yes, it is $30 a month for unlimited email and web, just like any other smartphone. As an added bonus, you'll be able to use Google Voice on your device, and stream content without relying on wifi. (because this thing ships withe EVDO)

for #1-3, your answer can be found with one thing: If the Android has some form of desktop manager, you'll be able to do all of this, if not, someone will most likely develop it because android is an open platform and you don't have to use a propriatery media product to sync it with your computer.

Sign up for Gmail, and you get wireless data backup with every Android phone. I'm just not sure on how to recover yet, and I'm not sure if it's as thorough as Blackberry Desktop.

I'll say yes. Even if it doesn't ship with it, 10:1 there will be an app for it.

Heck, even phones running VerizonOS are getting threaded messaging anymore
