The Droid and later Droid 2 will forever be some of my favorite phones.

I still have my droid 2 somewhere. I'd still buy a phone with a physical keyboard. Worst part about that phone was the random reboots and the loud "DROID" sound effect it played when it boots. Happened several times during college lectures and I got yelled at for it at least once.

That was my first smartphone, and I absolutely loved it! Shame nothing like it ever came out again.

Had the OG Droid but mine was a weird offshoot that had the rubberized keyboard that became standard in Droid 2.

Travelled from US to Europe and during the trip the keys started falling out 1 by 1. Made it darn near unusable.

Still... Loved that phone and would get a modern day version of it still. Miss those physical keyboard days!
