Love the obnoxious fanboyism. "We have Apps...We have Apps..." Enjoy your Apps, but Apps alone don't make a phone good. How is your signal, call quality, battery life, and quality of service? I don't own an iPhone. I don't plan to. But on Verizon I don't drop calls, my phone lasts all day with heavy use, my data speeds are nice, and I have no issues with anything in general. When I was on AT&T, I dropped calls, quality faded in and out, Didn't use data, so I can't comment there, and had to deal with some of the worst CS outside of Comcast. I hope people with iPhones on AT&T are as happy with AT&T as I and others are on Verizon. THIS is why the DRIOD has a good chance to be a great phone.

Before the Droid launched, the Android platform had 10,000 apps. In less than two weeks, that number has grown to 12,000. With an open development platform and America's largest network subscriber base, how long will it take before the Android marketplace catches up with Apple? And besides, how many tip calculators and fart generators do we really need? The big question should be what is the rate of kept apps vs. unused/uninstalled apps. That should be the real metric of the quality of the apps.

I'll say this much: The reason Droid users are using the internet non-stop is because Verizon did it right this time. They got a phone with excellent abilities to browse the Web.

Amen brother! Whats funny to me though in the war of what phone has a better browser Iphone, Pre or Droid no one ever mentions (include phonearena) the HTC Imagio (which they gave a 9.5). I have used all 3 devices and hands down the Imagio with Opera Mini beats all 3 in terms browser capibility and ease of use. Zoom bar > Pinch zoom -2 cents

I don't hate any device because they're merely pieces of plastic and metal. What I do hate is when people talk about a phone as if its a gift from God. There have been plenty of phone that have done what the iPhone can do. Yes apple revolutionized the way we browse the internet on the phone and the way we interact with it (apps and pinch zoom feature) but other than that what else? Also I can guarantee that if the iPhone were manufactured by another company,say for example Samsung and had the same exact specs,capabilities and apps it wouldn't nearly be as big as it is. Apple is genius which it comes to marketing their products. They could put a turd in a box put their logo on it and call it the iTurd and still sell millions. Haha. I give apple props when it comes to their producer and marketing. But you apple lovers act as though its the best thing out solely because apple made it. P.S. I posted this using my Droid. It took me a total of 3 minutes. Use the Droid web browser with an OPEN mind And you will like it.

Lol! Are you serious?! My girlfriend has an Imagio, and while I like the phone overall, the browsing experience leaves a little to be desired. It's slow, the scrolling is not smooth. The Imagio is a great winmo phone. The browser is good, but it's not as good as the Droid and the iPhone's.

I agree Apple marketing and their following create more mystique then the actual features but all in all apple does a great job with UI's for normal people. I could be wrong but Apple stroke of genius was integration, everything was relate-able to everything else. Games use the motion sensor, apps too. They made touch screen truely work. Winmo was way behind by using a stylus.

Pinch Zoom was not revolutionized by apple. Microsoft has had pinch zoom on the "Microsoft Surface" years before apple even thought of making the iPhone. Multi-touch was also impletemented on the "Surface" and can do 52 points of contact for things over than fingers, credit cards, cell phones, storage drives, laptop computers, UMPC can all semmelessly and wirelessly sync with the Surface. Windows 7 is incorporating the multi-touch expereince with with the $10,000 surface and making some of the features available on $1200 desktops and laptops like Dells Lattitude Laptops and HP's Touchsmart All-in-one Desktop PC. Apple copies microsoft for innovation and Microsoft copies apples "pretty" UI. Microsoft leads the world in new tecyhnologies, all apple does is make it pretty.
