Default Do you "Droid"?

There are a lot of posts about the other phone. We chose Droid to get the coverage of service area that ATT does not have here. It is great that I can use SLACKER radio OR my music library when I do not have a radio station. The only thing missing is a convenient way to mounting system the be able to control the tunes. Right now there is a FM transmitter that we mount in the tour pack and plug in to the power port and the phone. From there it's just select the FM station and tune in. If a song is playing that you want to hear again you pull over and reselect it. This is a cheap substitute for Satellite radio, we do not have that option out here. At least we can listen to the internet radio....

There are a lot of people out there, not everyone uses the I-XXXXX, right? The question is this; Do you Droid and how do you do it?

I am a huge droid fan. Got mine the first day they came out. Was the envoy of all my iphone friends because of being able to run multiple apps at the same time. Love Pandora, it rocks!

At first, i used the kuryakn handlebar clutch perch mount and used my case to clip it to and then ran from the headphone jack to the aux input on the radio.

Now I have the J&M bluetooth wireless adapter and connect it via bluetooth to the bike and headset. Pricey, but well worth the money.

It's on my list also. I work with a bunch of surgeons that have to get the latest and greatest. One just got the HTC incredible with the android OS. It's pretty cool. Going to mark this thread for the future.

I use the Motorola window mount.

I use the suction cup to stick it right on the fuel door. Plug a cord into the aux jack on the radio, plug a charger into the lighter if I need it. Lets me play music, and use the nav(but usually kind of hard to see). Stays on very well. Plus the mount is nice to put in the car if you want to.

Very nice, my "CAR" is my FLHTK. My wife and I have a 1992 Jeep that has somehow managed to accumulate about 215,000 miles since we bought it new. We use it when we have to drive and it is pouring on the "DRY" side of the island (we live on the leeward side and it rained hard about 6 days total this past year). We have the Motorola Droid from Verizon so I am glad to hear that it is working well.

No I don't. Good phones though. Hopefully the accessories market continues to gain momentum for you guys.

Yep - have had one since the second day they were out and love it.

I have root access on the thing so have some useful apps such as ad-killers, an over-/under-clocker (great for turning the speed down when out riding and just listening to music - makes the battery last longer). Love the ability to multitask.

I'd go crazy with an iPhone, since Steve Jobs keeps saying "do it my way or no way". Android is Linux, so, very mod-able.

I ride a Dyna so just run it via Bluetooth to a Chatterbox in my helmet. Pandora, mp3s, no problem. Playing mp3 files, it only goes through about half the battery after about five hours of riding when I underclock it. Tons of apps, excellent phone, just needs better camera software.
