i'm probably going to be getting a droid at the end of january (staying on verizon cause they're the only carrier with 3g in my area). just got a couple questions i'd like to ask.

1. how integrated can your google account be on a droid? i'd like to at least be able to view my google docs, for example, and i'd actually be a little disappointed if i couldn't edit them from the phone aswell.

2. i know that you can view word files from the phone. can you view excel spreadsheets? also, is there an app i can download to edit office files too?

3. how will my work email play with my droid? i just got hired on and i haven't even visited my email so i don't know if its exchange or what.

again, i'm definately staying with verizon so my choices are just the droid and the droid eris for right now.

Gmail account or google apps for your domain? Gmail account is almost completely integrated. GAFYD has a few quirks and you need a gmail account as a secondary account (that can be set not to sync countacts/email/etc) in order for the market to work.

2. i know that you can view word files from the phone. can you view excel spreadsheets? also, is there an app i can download to edit office files too?

Yes. Documents to go works well for viewing and editing word, excel, and pp. Costs $ though.

3. how will my work email play with my droid? i just got hired on and i haven't even visited my email so i don't know if its exchange or what.

Depends on your work email. I have exchange working with my work email.

again, i'm definately staying with verizon so my choices are just the droid and the droid eris for right now."
