i must admit, its gonna be an awesome phone! ive been rockin my Palm Pre for about 2 month and its the best Phone ive ever had, but its too curvy and almost girly. the droid looks like it can “manhandle” any past phones. im looking very forward to its release!
Looks nice but I’m ok with my iPhone and I don’t think my mom is gonna switch to verizon anytime soon
I would still keeping my iPhone.. that only thing that i like from android 2.0 is the flash player support…
It has a virtual keboard and a real one that’s preety sweet but $300 what If u don’t claim the rebate what happened 300$ that is 100 more than an eight gig iPhone
Yes but for that price you get 16gigs of *removeable* and *expandable* phone – unlike the iPhone
I will need to sell my 3G if i ever wanna buy Droid!
And i will never sell my iphone, bought it with hard-earned cash!
Somebody willing to give me a loan……..=P
On a serious note, this is a really good phone! I am also wondering whats happening with nokia??? No decent phone this year, the n97 failed like hell here in dubai…..shops are offering a free 600Dhs phone with it but still no buyers! Nokia is almost out of ideas now!
I vote for Motorola & Sony-Ericsson this year.
What does every phone company have against the iPhone, teaming up to beat it, WTF every iPhone killer so far has been a complete failure.
FOR REALS! I verizon first tried with that one phone, voyager i think, but the only app i liked was the live TV, the touchscreen was completely whack! You had to press really hard on the screen. iphone is OG and no other phone can get close to iPhone.
will I be able to use my Iphone music from itunes on this new droid. If not, why switch over?
If you open the folders to your “itunes music”, you’ll find that they are in fact mp3s and not some “itunes files”. So yes – you can use your “itunes music” with the droid.
Look to be honest I was a verizon customer and the only phone they had that was close to an iPhone was the voyager and that wasn’t even in iPhones league but was still considered the “iPhone killer” and clearly wasn’t. The droid will be yet another failed attempt.
I think Verizon has a pretty good chance with the Droid this time
Admit it have a lot of cool features, but love my iphone ;)
I love my droid!! The only thing I see its lacking is a flashplayer. Or at least adobe flash player which I really want/need. If anyone finds a way to get that on the droid plz let me know
The Flash player is coming early 2010 and Droid will be one of the first phones on the market to have it. So very soon we will have way more than just YouTube.
william do you work for verizon?
don’t sell what a product doesn’t yet do.
it may never do it, can we come back to you and get our money back because you said it would do it?
Well mister ronf57 william was just stating that it will have flash because if u own a droid and go to flash player website it states flash will be avaliable in the beginning of 2010 so. Why not stfu
It’s awesome. I am getting it for the summer
I have gone through 3 phoneas in the past 6 monthas. This is the only one that performs up to its billing.
I got the Droid and it does in my opinion as much as the IPhone with the exception of having flashplayer on it. I now here it will be out in November of 2010. Anyone heard any different?
