More on the Droid
Well, at the suggestion of some on one of the cell phone forums, I went back to Verizon and exchanged the phone. While everything looked very much like a software issue, perhaps the firm ware was to blame for at least some of the issues. The new phone runs the K-9 mail client without crashing (much) and successfully navigates self signed SSL certificates by providing a "SSL if available" option. Bluetooth behaves better, but is still not fully up to snuff, causing multiple tries to connect to things like a Jawbone headset. So far it hasn't messed up the Prius pairing of the iPhone and actually usually pairs to the Prius happily and without complaint.
