I agree with some of you. The only reason AT&T can even survive and stand against companies like Verizon is due to its exclusive deal with Apple(aka At&t 3rd largest becomes second largest due to i phone). Everyone switches to get the I phone. However the new droid should be able to slow down the company’s loss. Lets face it I phone will always be number 1 but with phone like droid they will be forced to bring their game. Plus thanks to apple raising the bar we the consumer get all companies to try their best. So either way we win because everyone wants to be the provider to bring the next cool thing. So let the companies spend money building and designating and we could sit back and reek all the benefits.

I’m not sure the Droid itself has to be significantly better than the iPhone to beat it when they are paired with Verizon. I know quite a few people who want an iPhone but won’t go with AT&T – Verizon’s coverage and reliability is a significant edge.
