btw; a friend asked whether I saw a point to her getting a Nexus vs Droid.
The Android apps and both phone’s features make for an interesting choice. (she pretty quickly ruled out that tank of an iPhone, “clunker” she said). I suggested that she had to ask people how their networks work in the area she will use the phone. Maybe the Nexus is a better phone that the iphone but if the network let’s you down what are you dealing with?
What is the best phone on a dubious network?

i.e. The other day I’m on my Droid talking to my brother. He asks a question about getting some new batteries for his power tool. I search around and find the item on Amazon.com (while we’re talking still). With him giving me his credit card info while I’m on Amazon’s web site I order the new batteries. I check the confirmation email and forward that to him also, alll while on the speaker phone of my Droid.
What am I missing?

But I switched to verizon and the droid due to the fact of call dropping and I was unable to run my business. The final straw was a visit to NYC where I dropped a call 6 times in 15 minutes (with the gimmick full bars-which we know is not truly representative of signal).
Fact is, I need coverage, my droid has not dropped one call since I got it and while its not as polished as the iphone, it is a very good phone for the first 2.0 OS.
Who ever thought of these ads should be fired, the concern is lack of coverage, invest in your network and do it quickly.

but normally I don’t have a problem…but I don’t call many people…texting and IM’s and email is most of what I do…talking is so over rated…lol

What would be even better is if I didn’t drop endless calls WITHOUT using an app at the same time. Come on AT&T, get your act together. The real life spotty coverage sucks.

I think you meant that Verizon only has UMTS speed and AT&T offers HSDPA too, which has a higher data transfer rate.
