There is a 3D view, I'm just not sure how to straight up go to the 3D view. Just play with it. There's a lot of things the droid can do that are weird to setup. For example: by default the phone does not vibrate for texts recieved when put in vibration mode. It simply ignores them. To get vibration on, you need to go into the messaging app, hit settings, then check the box that says vibrate. This kinda stinks because it always vibrates when the ringer is on. Lesser of 2 evils? tap the directions on the top, click next. There is a 3D view, I'm just not sure how to straight up go to the 3D view. Just play with it.

I have the same setup, and actually live and MA as well. If you get a call on the Droid while it is in the car dock, just simply go to the Navigation bar, drag it down, click the Navigation notification, and it keeps on going with out any problems. You can even have it still talk to you while you are on the phone! I have this on my Droid, and do it all the time. This article is a blatant lie.
