for those of you, who say that the iphone would be better on any other carrier than at&t… then get an iphone and use your carrier with prepaid sim card. it’s not hard at all. how do you think people all over the world have iphones… i’m just making an observation and stating the obivous solution. thanks

I have at&t and have great service 2 dropped calls and nothing but 3g speed every place i have gone with my iphone, but las vegas. But i found a remedy to fix my signal when i leave a location that my phone gets it’s signal from the cell towers. In my location where i live, the cell tower is down the street. I get full bars at home and at work. Also just about everywhere else. So if you get a cheap signal where you live, It is not the network, it is the placement of cell phone towers in your area. Long live 3G

Picked up a Droid today and it’s 85-90% of the iPhone. The screen looks better but is touchy and more difficult to type on. The browser is indeed slower but better than anything else I’ve played with. I also used a Storm 2 for a few hours and hated it. The real difference is that it’s not on AT&T’s network.

Droid + Verizon > iPhone + AT&T > Storm 2 + any network

If Verizon had the iPhone there wouldn’t even be a comparison.

p.s. I did have an iPhone and loved it.

I’m anti ipod and iphone also. I would never pay for such a high dollar phone that is really not so great, because like other bloggers have said, apple locks you in. iphone users really think highly of themselves. I believe the open source apps of the droid are great. The Google Droid phones are the future, not the iphone. iphone egomaniacs will be around for a while and thats fine. A little competition is good for business. So Droid users let them think they are top Dog. When it comes down to it does it really matter. Enjoy your Verizon Droids…..

The iPhone is very unique. It’s a forerunner. Apple did something great that naturally drew people to iPhone, just like what iPod did, but now, on a grander scale. No fluff was needed, no hype was needed, no bashing was needed, no convincing was needed. The iPhone spoke for itself, and people fell in love with it. Isn’t that how it should be? I hear a resounding “YESSSS” inside of you…

You simply can’t “kill” a phone that has a full fledged ipod touch built into it, and an app store with over 100,000 programs available. No hardware or design on Earth will help a phone top the iPhone, because at the end of the day you’re still going to have much much less at your fingertips.

well yes but i got good service here NOT AT&T like in america i see alot of people having trouble with iphone becouse of the sucky service over there but here i got Tmobile and i can take full advantage of the iphone no call drops high speed internet everyware for as i know since i got my contract.

well its a shame that at&t sucks so bad over there as i heared so if i was in that position i would be going to a other carrier as well so you got my vote on that.

droid is correct in all of its claims, and may be better than the iphone.

right now it seems better than the iphone, and ppl on verizon will be happy. but nobody can out-apple apple. no smartphone will beat the iphone. some nubs just buy something easy and simple without understanding they are locking themselves in. there are too many idiots who buy all itunes music without thinking that if they got anything else than an ipod it wouldnt play. (now it will play, you just have to pay apple again to convert the songs.) they have to send in their ipod/iphone if the battery dies. you dont choose what goes into your mac, all of it will be apple stuff. why do you think ipods didnt have fm radio? apple wanted you to get your music only from them. APPLE LOCKS YOU IN.

so yes, the droid may not be as smooth and pretty as the iphone, but it wont lock you in like apple. but TOO MANY PEOPLE DONT KNOW/CARE ABOUT BEING LOCKED INTO APPLE– apple will always win.

@ Reverender

Dude, its not necessarally ALL ABOUT beating your precious little Iphone. i know when you wake wake up with a rageing hard apendage after a dream about your iphone you think that its perfect, and everyone should just get the iphone.

well think of it this way. I have the verizon network. Iphone isnt going to come to me but i want to have as much fun as i can. can i switch services and get the iphone? ya, sure i could do that, but then id be able to text my friends 2,3 times a month before we/they ran out of texts. Not to mention, att’s area of service kinda sucks.

i welcome my droid overlords! WELCOME!
