I'm currently rocking an original Motorola Droid. It's held up pretty well until yesterday. The power button died on it. The only way to wake it up is to slide it open, and the only way for it to go back to sleep is to just let it time out. The only way I can shut it off is to remove the battery. Luckily, when I put the battery back in it boots up automatically even though it shouldn't. It also seems to be running slower so I don't know if this is a software or hardware problem. The problem didn't coincide with any update or the installation of any new apps.

It's way out of warranty and I really don't want to do the insurance thing with it. I'm eligible for my upgrade on October 20th, but I'm afraid my current phone won't last that long. I stopped by a Verizon place today and the guy there said I could do an early upgrade. He said the price I'd get wouldn't be as good as in October, but still not too bad. He also said my current phone would have a trade-in value of $26.77. So I'm thinking about upgrading now. I'd like to stay with a Droid phone, but I haven't been keeping up with the new models or features so I'm behind the 8-ball here.

What Droid phones are you guys using and how do you like them?

What problems are you having?

Is it worth it to go to a 4G model?

Any help/info/advice would be greatly appreciated.
