Also you don't have to hit the keypad to bring the screen up, tapping the power button will do it.

Micro USB. My Kindle and Evo use the same port.
It's freaking awesome to have so many charging options open to me, and I can also unplug the micro USB for my phone and use the plug part as an adapter for my iPod cord, too.

So very glad we had this talk about chargers because I got a Nook yesterday for my birthday and am loving that I can interchange my Nook and Droid chargers.
I really wish there was a universal charger for everything.

Very true! I can also plug my HTC's cord into my Apple USB/outlet base that I normally have my MP3 player attached to. I love that the chargers aren't just one long cord hardwired to a base. So much convenience.

It seems like the micro USB is getting there. Apple just has to be special.

Apple knows that there are die-hard Mac users out there who will go out and buy everything they sell. The good thing for all of the "Mac people" is that their iPod, iPhone, and iPad share the same charger.
But I completely agree. If they'd jump on the bandwagon and change the port on Apple products, a universal charger would be awesome!

My boyfriend is like this with everything but the iPhone, he cant stand it! I love how we have so much that use the same chargers, the only thing that doesn't is our iPods/iTouch/iPads which at least share the same so it works!

Still having problems with the screen going black after a millisecond. Reading the Droid X forums, this seems to be a common problem.
I "may" have figured out how to answer a call but will have to keep calling myself to practice.
Also, the Droid 2 Global says that I have Backup Assistant but the verizonwireless page says Droids don't. It has saved a few contacts but not all.

Under Settings, Display, Screen timeout, have you adjusted that? And you're still having an issue? If so, I'd recommend taking it to the store and having them take a look at it. If it's a problem with the hardware or software, they should fix it. If it's something weird with settings they should be able to help with that too.
I also have a backup Assistant listed but haven't paid attention to how much it backs up, except that I know it runs. I'll double check.

The refurbed Droid I got my daughter for Christmas has been wonky with charging. Verizon has been awesome though. They replaced the battery for free on Wednesday and when we still had issues charging it, said they'd ship us another one. The refurb did come with a year warranty, thank goodness. It was all free and they were really nice. The guy checked all the stores nearby too to see if any of them had one in stock, but they didn't. So, til Tuesday, when the new one should arrive, we keep swapping batteries and charging them on my phone. It's a work around. I'm glad we have the same phone so we can do that. A 17 year old girl without her phone is kinda pitiful to see!

Re: Backup Assistant
According to the webpage, Droid doesn't have it. Oh well. At least I am working on updating my contacts lists.
Phone was better today but then again, I haven't used it a lot. I'll see how it goes.
Dee...I'm betting that the last BB I got was a refurbished one after the one before that had problems.. If I turned it off, the only way to turn it back on was to take out the battery and put it back in, lol.

That doesn't make any sense if the Droid 2 has it. And it does.
