XDA - Motorola Droid forum?

[hakeem9]

Just curious whether you folks at XDA will be adding a forum/subforum for the Droid?

Actually, pretty sure HTC did manufacture the Xperia. The Treo on the other hand...

Anyway, I think it would be a shame to miss out on the Droid rush. It's going to be the biggest Android phone this year (if not longer) and will probably spawn a whole new wave of development.

HTC did manufacture the X1 and the Treo.

Historically, XDA-Developers has been HTC only. This is really crappy because there are other devices out there that could benefit this community if the forum sections were created. The Motorola Droid is one of them.

That's probably covered under the Hero subforum, since it's basically another CDMA HTC Hero.

I'm going to be really upset if my favorite XDA devs won't be working on the Droid platform.. I LOVE it and it's the first handset that can handle those crazy ROMs.

I just got a Moto Droid the other day over the Eris due to its keyboard and hardware specs...

BUT, the Eris has a much nicer UI (Home Screen, Contacts, Widgets etc) thanks to HTC (as usual)

Because both the devices are Android (however different versions from what I understand), is it possible to get the Widgets and Home screen from the Eris on the Droid??

I am obviously new to Android and have typically been a Windows Mobile user (Used the HTC TouchFlo on the Omnia and what not), and would really like to continue to use HTC's UI's on my Droid.

Do you think this is possible, and if so perhaps this particular topic could be a forum dedicated to it on XDA
