Ok so I got my 1st Droid 11/2009. I got my new Droid (my old one fell off the Kingda Ka roller coaster) today and it was manufactured last month. Immediately I noticed a few changes:
1) phone is significantly lighter
2) the screen is more sensitive to touch
3) the screen is more soft, like a plastic vesus the glass-like hardness it had originally
4) the housing of the phone is entirely plastic versus the metal (assuming aluminum) the original droid model had.

Has anyone else noticed this. If you have a droid when was it manufactured and how is yours? (to see when yours was manufactured, under the batter above the MEID DEC barcode there is a number that is ##/09 or ##/10.. my new one is 18/10, so the 18th week of 2010.

I don't know if I like the change. Actually, no I really dont. I liked the heftiness of the old droid and the strength/durability it had because of the high quality materials.
