Sounds like a good option if you can't or won't switch to AT&T for the iPhone. What the author failed to point out, however, is that the biggest benefit of the iPhone isn't the network, processor, pixels, etc; but the huge library of apps and how well they've been designed for the iPhone. When and if the Droid can match that area (which is years away), then it will truly become a possible replacement for the iPhone. My guess is that by that point the iPhone will be upgraded to equal, or surpass, the Droid AND it will become available with many wireless providers rather than just AT&T.

Or you can pick up a refurbed "pet rock" Tracfone like mine for ten bucks and pay less than seven bucks a month for a phone number and minutes. It sends AND recieves phone calls.

Yes the Droid does not have a thousand fart apps. The lack of Itunes is one of its best features, you can drag and drop any music to your phone without converting to Apples acc format and having their software slow your computer down.As a phone goes it is miles ahead of the iphone, better network, sound quality, mms and email.

Let me see 100k apps or 10k apps. something tells me that in the lifetime of a cellular device, I would never use 5% of 10k apps. But, if it makes the iPhone users feel better, app applications to Google have skyrocketed since the announcement of the release of the Droid. With Android's open software architecture don't be surprised if Android app's are more than sufficient to entertain those who really care.

I'm just glad that the Droid does not have those truely annoying features. Like built in battery. And s l o w operating speed. And only running one app at a time. What's that all about anyway? And no drag and drop music download. And a poor provider to operate on.

I am absolutely amazed by my new Droid. I didn't know it would be the 5th limb I never knew I needed. It does everything I want minus the proprietary headaches of an iPhone. Worried about syncing music? Um... try plugging your phone in and turning on Windows media player. After you tell your Droid it's OK to play with the other machine (one soft button tap) media player will sync with it just like with any other device. The android music player that comes bundled on the Droid isn't beautiful but it gets the job done and there are others in the App store. No iTunes controlling my life ever again. There is no reason to suffer with AT&T or Apple with products and companies like Droid and Verizon around. Remember, we're comparing a 1st generation Droid to a 3rd generation iPhone here and coming up with a neck-and-neck race. What will Droid 2.0 be like in a few months?
