Do you not see this effect with yours? I bought my Droid on the day it was released and was wondering if I got an early rev that is a dud. I started a thread on the Motorola Droid forum (http://tinyurl.com/y9aja4t) and have been getting a mixture of responses. Many people agree that the quality is bad, others think I’m expecting too much from a phone camera.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. It isn’t really sync’ing that is the problem. I hate iTunes as well But having a local sync solution allows them to do things like file size / type conversions for images and other media, as well as generate thumbnails and such.

The upshot of this is that the media experience on the device *sucks*. Copying media to the SD card is the easy part. Once its there, the apps are awful, especially the built-in photos one and the video players I’ve tried.

I blame this largely on the lack of a sync conduit which can do the hard work of scaling the images and videos down to a manageable size, creating an index and thumbnails, etc.

I’m not saying it’s a great *camera* – but the iPhone one was useless in the dark, which was a major pain. This one is actually quite good as cell phone cameras go.

But, as this is my first real smart phone (my last phone, just as an example, was the Samsung Alias) I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying the Google cloud experience far more than I have ever on my computer.

There are some places that it needs some work – the camera issues have been resolved for me with the latest firmware update (2.0.1), and though it is a 5 MP camera, I still prefer my Panasonic DMC-FS25 (12 MP with a lot more features).

Primarily, though, the connectivity I have with the Google experience leaves me thrilled – being a navigation device as well as a night time alarm takes the phone in all sorts of places that I would never have expected a phone to go.

The best part, though, is that this is not a crippled OS like VZW likes to do with most of their phones. That was the selling factor for me. Otherwise, I, to, would probably have gone with an HTC model with an older OS but with their SenseUI.

I suppose I am the Frank Lloyd Wright of phone users – form follows function. If I wanted glitz, I’d not worry about functionality – but your reports (and many ,many others, including my sister) confirmed that AT&T was not for me.

Granted we can’t expect too much from a phone camera but I find Droids to be nearly worthless if you expect to move photos off the phone.
