The Droid is not a bad phone and I am sure that the 2.1 upgrade improved it, but the phone is not in high demand by subscribers of other networks. T-MOBILE and SPRINT have its share of phones that are appealing. Verizon needed the DROID as its lineup sucked.

And yet they had somehow maintained being the #1 cellular provider in the US for years prior to the Droid and continue to have higher YTY growth than any other carrier including AT&T....

@ networkdood, make sure you know your facts... "t-mobile and sprint have tis share of phones that are appealing" yet they are losing ppl every quarter? do us a favor and STFU, plz! all four carriers have better phones... they all have great phones now...

How many subs has little to do with the perception that until last year there was nothing compelling in the lineup. Vzw is bland and so are the phones, the map doesn't entice me but the Droid being made by HTC or Samsung instead of Moto would.

T-Mobile got its first phone that mattered...the HTC HD2. Every phone prior to that...mediocre at best...even their Blackberry line up...never really made any noise. Their exclusive phone the sidekick? Please...that was a glorified Game Gear. The Wing? Looked like a knock off of the HTC Mogul. I just don't see where this guy is pullin that T-Mobile and Sprint had the game-changing phones...the Instinct? Katana DLX? I'm not seein it...

It is well put together, I agree with that. I actually like it. But I feel it's a little too dramatic and kind of over nothing. The apps are really not that great. The only thing I completely love about android (when it comes to the store) is the widgets. I would love to have my calendar take up a page and even have something as simple as a wifi on/off button. But other than that, the apps are just okay (I would say they suck, but people will get mad, so I just won't say it at all. Haha)

I agree completely. The apps on the Android market honestly aren't good. That ad wants to make it look like its Apps are in competition, but they just don't seem so... (I would say the Apple Apps, but people will get mad, so I just won't say it at all. Haha) But the widgets are awesome. I wish they could be on the iPhone. Seems they are the only ones that don't have it.

cj, AT&T has been growing faster in terms of net adds for a while now, thus the reason why the VERIZON map ads have been out - they are getting scared at Verizon. A carrier can have better phones and lose customers - i.e. T Mobile and SPRINT. A lot of Droid users have iphone envy. I wish we could take the best of DROID and iphone and make one super-phone. I home the EVO $G is everything I am reading about, even if I do not see 4G in my area until 2012. Fiercewireless.com will show the figures on AT&T's growth and Verizon's growth in the last 7 quarters has been due, in large part, to the acquistion of ALLtel. Since I have have had service with all 4 major carriers, I just want the best phone and so far it would appear to be the DESIRE with ATT (TMOBILE?) and the EVO 4G with SPRINT - we shall see.

Lol, you make a great point. I have service as well with all the major services, so for me, I'm looking towards what phones are better. And if the Droid wasn't on Verizon, I'm not sure what phone they would be advertising for their service.

you know in that commercial they said theirs a limit to what droid doesnt and no limit to what it does. that is bs because its lots of stuff droid dont do like have 4g, hdmi out, 4.3inch display. anyone else want to continue for me.
