And, as usual, it’s crippled in at least one aspect - the Verizon version of the Droid does not support multitouch, the rest of world version will.

So, the question now is, how *else* is the Droid crippled by Verizon (which should be renamed The Phone Crippler).

Well Ern...I like it. I've always liked Motorola commo products.
But here's my questions:
How durable is it? How much abuse can it take and still keep working?
Is it user friendly? IOWs, how steep is the learning curve to use it?
How good is the telephone? Does background noise render it impossible to use? I have some hearing loss in one of my ears and this is a problem sometimes.
Can I take a picture and email the pic to someone or myself ASAP?
Does it work everywhere? ow good does it pick-up a signal in weird and far-a-way places?
How secure is the body? Moisture? Sand? Vibration?

I like its looks. If it meets these criterion I might pursue this one further.
