You obviously haven’t had the inevitable falling out with AT&T yet that many of the rest of us have. Who do you think is reaping all the benefits of you not being able to purchase insurance for that iphone? I loved my iphone too, until it was stolen and AT&T made it their prerogative to kick me while I was down and give me “the opportunity” to purchase another one for two hundred dollars more than I originally paid while also signing a brand new two year contract. If you haven’t experienced this yet….you’ll soon see

Looks like a decent phone by the pics above. But why oh why do ppl insist on making slide-out keyboards? Just detracts from the overall look of the phone!

I like it just the way it is. I don’t think it needs more gloss nor shine. I am a fan of the matted look and I don’t like the finger print marks left behind on glossier devices. (I’ve got an Eee netbook that I obsessively clean due to the glossiness of it). I appreciate the features this phone has without the need to hack it. I understand the iphone can do its thing… but thats after its been jail broken. Out the box, this bad boy is pretty damn cool without me having to mod it.
I will admit, maybe this isn’t the iPhone killer. But that isn’t because it isn’t comparable in specs its because Apple does a much better job at marketing their products.
Iphone fanboys, at least be open minded, this phone is hot.

To all of the douters of the Iphone you realy need to see the bigger picture their will never be another phone in it’s place.
The iPhone is great but when you jailbreak it it just craps on all other phones out their.
Realy who needs flash or a keyboard the whole idea is touch, just a screen and no other bs to deal with
hands down the iPhone kills all other smart phones on the market peer to peer conection gaming the app store come on get real out their
and if you don’t like AT&T unlock it to tmobile ding bats.
Realy if you want a camera buy a Sony webbie
and for all you dim wads if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
not to mention the iPhone is the sexyest phone to date and by the way apple rules the digital world as we know it.

There is no way anybody can say whether this is even a realistic competitor to the iPhone based on the paper specs. The iPhone’s success is not and never has been because of its specs. It always has been because of the user experience: the hardware, the software, and the add-on’s. Go use an iPhone at an Apple store, really USE IT, then tell me you ever want to use another phone or PDA again. Every single person, myself included, who has ever looked at the iPhone and actually used it has said that’s what they want in a phone/PDA. And I’m not a fanboy, I’m a serious corporate IT person who didn’t buy an iPhone or take it seriously for more than 6 months after it was released. WHEN you can actually use a Droid phone, only then will you or any serious reviewer be able to say whether it’s any good or lives up to the promises. On paper the Droid is just a netbook with a built in phone and GPS — the promises aren’t that good. I’ve never seen a single netbook, including the ones I use for my work, that could come close to replacing an iPhone.

What a lot of people here fail to realize is the fact that this is the first phone like this put out by Verizon. People switched to AT&T simply due to the iPhone. Their (AT&T) coverage, network, pricing, and support all fall short of Verizon. These are facts, not just something made up. I personally use Verizon. I have been looking into switching to AT&T simply for the iPhone. There is no plus side to going to AT&T except the phone. With the release of the Droid a lot of people (myself included) have put off switching to AT&T. This is how they will kill the iPhone. By simply providing their current customer base with a device that does a lot of what the iPhone offers and then some. I don’t foresee many more people leaving Verizon and going to AT&T for the iPhone. I do foresee people leaving AT&T for Verizon’s superior service, cheaper prices, and better product support with a product comparable if not better than the iPhone.
