Motorola :: Upgrading From OG Droid To D3 Feedback

The phone is super fast which is great. As the software got upgraded over the last two years on my D1 it became so slow. Email and Web are great. I know many people complained about lack of LTE but honestly Wifi is so much faster and I am pretty much always within range of a network. I have only used the phone for a little while so far but generally I am very happy about the upgrade. I love the 5th row numbers. It was so annoying ALTing to numbers on the D1. I like the arrow keys and Okay button. It is a good swap from the directional button on the D1 while allowing the keyboard to be bigger.

What I don't like: (Mostly Minor Annoyances, Hoping someone has app suggestions from the market)Lack of Camera Button. Not a huge deal breaker but was always handy to launch the app on take pictures.No Browser Button on the home screen like the D1 had. Instead a Camera button. Would be nice if you could configure those software buttons that show up on every home screen. I would rather have the browser on every screen and the camera button on one screen only etc. Can this be configured?Lack of Picture Frame Widget. I am sure there is one on the App store but it seems odd that a feature built into an older phone is removed. Any suggestions for a basic widget that can show a single picture?Tasks app does not seem to sync online with google tasks. On my D1 I made a shortcut on the desktop to go directly to the online tasks page and the icon even looked like a task icon with a checkmark. I made the same link on the D3 and it is a generic bookmark icon. Can icons to pages be set somehow?SMS App is pretty awful in my opinion. I much prefered the D1 SMS app. I send tons of texts messages. Texting is the main reason I wanted a phone with a keyboard. I am not sure if this is an android thing or a moto thing. I would gladly go complain to google about it if someone points me in the right direction.

1. Chat Bubbles. I hate them. I much prefer the old style. The bubbles seem to have a minimum size regardless of how much text appears in them.It can be only one word but it still takes up the same amount of space. On the D1 I could see three messages at a time when holding the phone sideways with the keyboard extended. With the new app you can only see two messages even though the screen rez is bigger. It is pretty common for messages to scroll off the top of the screen while composing my own messages. The bubbles need to scale to be smaller with less text.

2. Enter/Return makes a new line instead of sending the message. Seems like the only way to send the message is to touch the send button or use the arrow key to move to send then click enter.
