i personally do NOT like android and ive used it on plenty of different phones. the droid is nice i guess but #1 product of the year? **** NO!
and im not a fanboy of anything because i change my phone like every few months but for now the iphone 3GS has my heart due to its AMAZING video camera (for a phone, c'mon its great!), simplicity, and overall cool factor.
My GF has an iPhone. It's neat and simple, especially for her (kind of a ditz). I have the droid. It's a lot more techy, more customizable, has a great video camera, awesome screen res., and since I just got the 2.01 update, the camera is awesome. She loves her phone, but wants an iphone with a keyboard. She tried my phone, and got lost (has a learning curve) but loved the keyboard (which I think is so-so).
my main complaint with the droid isnt necessarily a droid thing, its verizon. yes, they have amazing service but the cheapest plan with unlimited data & text with the lowest minutes is $100 per month! and thats BEFORE taxes...
how can all these people complain about iphone/AT&T pricing but dont about the droid/verizon's...

First of its only 90 before taxes...also....people dont tend to complain about the price when the network is soild like VZW....i like my iPhone but the network is junk and I drop calls several times a week...90 bucks a month to ATT is frustrating when things dont work....

Yeah my plan is $59 - minutes and $30 - data. Unlimited data and text.
$89 before taxes.
Pretty much it is tabloid journalism in a way. Its ONE tech editor's OPINION, theres no fact there to support any claims.
[QUOTE=ccoady750;4268099]Yeah, who reads Time magazine anyway.
Just because its the Times doesnt make his OPINION any more VALID. Is an tech editor on theiphoneblog or cnet and LESS credible because they dont write for the Times? An opinion is one person's opinion, thats it.
Cough Fox News cough. Doesnt matter how many millions of viewers, popularity of the media doesnt make them any more correct.

Just because its the Times doesnt make his OPINION any more VALID. Again, in the end it means nothing.
Except free publicity and advertising for VZW, Droid and more sales, which will lead to more people leaving AT&T because they want to be "#1". I know more people that dislike AT&T's network than people disliking Verizons network.
How many Droid commercials did VZW drop MILLION into. How many did they sell? WAY short of the 1+ million iphones the first weekend. Ads only go so far.
Plus the iphone gets PLENTY of free advertising, probably more than any other product on the market, even when its not #1 for not being #1. It needs no help selling millions of phones.

You have to remember, the iPhone 3GS opening weekend sales were in 9 countries worldwide. There were hassle free early upgrade, and ebay scalpers buying them for profit like it was the first year of the Wii.
The droid, release was in 1 country, with no brand recognition llike the iPhone (not to mention it had been out already for 2 years) Everybody had iPods and saw all the millions of Mac/iPhone/iPod commercials. Droid didn't have that luxury. Next year it will.

The Droid is at a million; and they haven't released the Euro version of it yet.
Customization; slide out keyboard; bigger screen higher screen res.
Browser is just as good if not better; apps.

It's purty! Oh and curvy. And Steve jobs wears turtlenecks. And it has more fart apps. Oh, and it doesn't have the hassle of a removeable battery. Who wants that? Apple is generous enough to put a new one in for me in only one week for a low low fee of $150.

Ok, I'm done making fun of the people that made fun of the Storm users (even though they had a right to). the iPhone is pretty cool, but I like the droid network and format better. I make fun of my girlfriends iPhone now and she could care less, lol.

Its all in good fun. I liked the droid when I had brief time with it. I wouldnt switch from the iphone, but the Droid was cool. Ugly as ****, but did its job.
