Apart from Notes, there’s Simplist. But the guy next to me wants OmniFocus. The next guy wants something that will sync with Microsoft Project. None of them want to even spend more than a second laughing at me for using Notes, because it’s so damned primitive.

Then I show them how quickly I can find TODO items anywhere. Or how quickly I can find stuff in the “@Ned Flanders” context. Then they start using Notes with the built-in search feature too.

Apart from that, everything else you say you want from a Droid v2, makes it sound like you want an iPhone without the Apple logo. You can fix that with a big sheet of self-adhesive vinyl :)

1- multitouch. patented for use on mobile devices by apple. smart of apple, but evil.

2- task syncing w/google. No one can sync properly with google tasks right now because google hasn’t released the API’s for the task manager. It’s frustrating, but as soon as they do that, syncing task apps will abound.

Other than that… good list. I’d love to get me an android phone.

So, if the contract prices come down and the terms improve (a la T-mobile’s recent pay as you go) for a good smartphone on Verizon’s network, then I’ll be in. In the mean time, I’d just feel like I was getting taken for even more every month if I signed up for the data plan.
