Commenting from my droid right now. iPhone and the droid are both completely awesome. My friends 3GS is amazingly fun to use but I can't stay away from the droid. Id probably be lost somewhere if it wasn't for the gps. Oh and my broadband sucks dick so I downloaded a completely free app and just tethered it in a few minutes? Yea no jailbreaking for me. Plus I get coverage EVERYWHERE. My friends are constantly asking if they can use my droid to update there facebook for a second because there iPhone isn't getting service. Your obviously a blind iphone user who's never picked up a droid. Both phones are fucking amazing. Why can't people realize that?

Anybody who says they have an iPhone and hate it, doesn't have an iPhone.

All of the Apps that Iphone users are bragging about (controlling PC from phone, tracking phone through app, etc) are things that the droid can do. The Android market is expanding and the apps they are coming out with are incredible. Apple may have more apps (but honestly some of those apps are pretty crappy), and with them its all about quantity, not quality. The android market is also open domain, so they are not "handcuffed" the way the apple users are. Droid is definitely the way to go

I can honestly say, I have used the droid, and have also tested the palm pre and the iphone (never the mytouch tho), and the droid is by far the most impressive. Multitasking, good network, cool apps. GREAT PHONE!!! truly an iphone killer

Come on the one commenter is right the iphone is king. By comparison the droids are just cheap copies made so Verizon could sell it's snake oil to the masses. Anyone with any sense would never waste their money on a droid.

Funny how most of the people talking crap about the iphone is simply for the fact of envy. My iPhone has been multitasking since firmware 2.0. My jailbroken iPhone can do so many things that you're BlackBerries, Palm Pre, Droids cant do. Ex: Control my PC from my iPhone, control the lights in my house from my iPhone, Record shows from my TV to the ... See MoreDVR in my house all from my iPhone, Fully remote control my iPhone in case it was stolen w/ the ability to track it down to the precise location, FUlly customize every aspect of the phone; ranging from themes, to sounds, apps, etc. The list goes on and on. No phone will every amount to the capabilites of the iPhone...

I've had the iphone for 2 years having to jailbreak it so it won't be worthless. So sick of this POS & having to jailbreak to make it useful. I had multiple dropped calls with iPhone/AT&T pretty much everyday. So far 0 with verizon. My Droid kicks iPhone 3GS ass! Faster 3G doesn't mean shit when you can't get service!

Granted, we all (DROID users) need to manually pull the battery cover off in order to "hard-boot" the phone (at least once per two weeks for me, but ALWAYS happens once the phone screen gone dark - never had to see it during a call or when screen was lit - yet), we do have key labels FALLING OFF, and SINCE the 2.0.1 update the battery life is 70% less efficent than before the update (I want to he able back-date the updates from now on, Android coders! Get ready for that request).

But, seriuosly, in all of the reviews I have read about the Droid from October to January, I have yet to see a report of an iPhone needing a hard-boot due to a crash (I know they crash, but then you just hit power and they are back up and running). HAS there ever been a circumstance where one would need to PULL the battery OUT of an iPhone OR send it in while still "hung" up, even still powered on but non-responsive?

YES, you can, however, you will NOT be allowed to do it when you are tethering under the Verizon tethering plan, which is slated to come out March 1st, 2010, and at 15.00 per month - and yes, alot of Pantech users will be pissed, I know I will be returning mine and discontinuing the 60.00 per month for 5GB data cap. BTW, PLEASE NOTE THE 5GB CAP DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PHONE DOING THE BROWSING OR DOWNLOADING, THE CAP IS ONLY APPLIED TO THE DATA ACCOUNTS (The Droid currently not being one of them).

The "king" please, as time goes on (just like now) the competition is finding ways to make the i phone obsolete.. Now let me introduce to u the droid!!! Something the I phone can't compare to, I've had both and the i phone isn't even close to the droid!!

I've had the original iphone since it first came out, got it a month after it was released, and have loved every bit of it. But after moving I only got 2 bars in my house while friends would be getting full 3g on Verizon. It was time for a new phone anyway so I got a droid about 2 weeks ago, and WOW. I'm a big apple fan and was really hesitant to get the droid, but now that I have it from the iphone its like steeping two years into the future. The screen on this thing is amazing, and its screaming fast, much faster than the iphone is. Multi-tasking is amazing, I'm can be much more productive on the droid than I ever was on the iphone. Plus almost all my apps from the iphone were on the android market too. I loved the iphone, but the droid is amazing. The only downside is that its an ugly brick and doesn't match my macbook :(. But other than that I believe it is better than an iphone, at least the original, never had the 3gs. I encourage anyone on AT&T that's considering switching to Verizon to look at the droid.

I just have one thing to say, and that is AT&T just recently enlightened me to the fact that my home area is now in what they call an "off area network". So what that means is my data usage must stay below 24 megs a month or they will drop my coverage all together. I WILL NOT pay for unlimited coverage as someone who lives 25 miles from me and not get the same service. AT&T is insane if they think they can have crappy service, restrictions on data usage due to their unwillingness to increase the band width for more consumers. They will sure enough sell you the phone and "forget" to tell you that "oh by the way you live or may be in the future living in an off area network.

So I have sold all my Iphones on EBay and went right to the mall and purchased Verizon for my whole family! I can not begin to tell you how delighted I am with the service from Verizon and the Droid.

I have had the Iphone for 2 years and recently purchased the 3GS and had that for two months before AT&T attempted to restrict my usage. Last time I checked unlimited data means just that, unlimited? I do not care if you have to use another carriers tower, make new ones. That is not my problem, i pay my 280 a month bill every month with never skipping a beat, where is the customer loyalty?

However, sadly enough to say if i were a huger corporation that invested millions into AT&T i very seriously doubt i would get data restriction emails.

Several of my friends have already switched from AT&T once they saw the Droid. I suspect and rightfully so that AT&T's profit margin will eventually take such a hit that they may have to actually invest into the consumers as consumers do them!
