The Droid

I just picked up a Motorola Droid on Verizon. It runs Android v2.0 and so far I love it. It is far more polished then I expected, the "Android Market" is just as good as the AppStore on the iPhone and since I use Google accounts for mail, calendar, contacts, etc.. the integration is pretty seamless and amazing.

I could go on and on about all the great things I am doing with this phone (and I will in other posts), but for now I want to list the things that should work, but don't (at least not for me). Here is where I am having issues so far...

Multiple FaceBook profiles listed for some contacts.
I assume a bug that will be fixed in a future update. Very strange.

FaceBook profile picture not imported for all contacts.
I think this is just something buggy and will probably be fixed in some sort of update in the future.

Some FaceBook Friends just do not show up at all.
I have no idea why, maybe becuase of privacy settings for those particular people?

Picasa uploading errors out with a "failed to retrieve account information" message.
I can't find anything about this problem. I wonder if I configured something wrong?

Google Scoreboard cannot figure out NCAA Basketball info.
People have already complained about this in the Market, so I am assuming Google is working on a fix. Otherwise, awesome, but it is the only Sports Scoreboard app I have tried so far, so I wonder if there are better ones.

YouMail cannot figure out how to play through the handset speaker instead of the speakerphone.
This is a known issue with the Droid and it looks like the developers are working on it. Overall, amazing app! A much better implementation then on the BlackBerry.

YouMail is not pulling the contact picture from my addressbook.
From what I can tell, this may be only for ones that are linked to Facebook (which is pretty much all of them). Not sure. I cannot find any info about this.

SMS Character Limits
The SMS app does not show you how many characters you've typed. That actually sucks because if you go over your allotted 160, it just crops the message instead of sending more then one. There are 3rd party apps that try to resolve this, but they are not quite ready for v2.0 yet.
