    • Guest

      Oh yea well I have a life!! U get outa my head!!

      I like droids!! Get over it!!

    • Guest

      YAY!! Look!! You all might as well stop here, the argument I had with myself below has about as much point to it as all the people bickering down below. :P

  2. Guest

    In the end. The battle will be indirectly against droid vs all other phones. They will win. Apple will continue to exceed and monopolize with their own. The two winners will remain the same- motorola and apple.

  3. I really think this may be the “iphone killer” – I am definitely curious!

  4. I really think this may be the “iphone killer” – I am definitely curious!

    Definitely not and “iphone killer”
    does it have a bunch of apps like the iphone? no
    apps are i think one of the most best things the iphone offers millions of games to play wherever you want?
    can it pinch zoom in and out? no
    yes i has a qwerty slide keyboard but big deal it just makes it look fatter and more like a block.
    other than the iphone’s great design.
    also the iphone is a phone and a ipod in one.
    who wouldn’t rather have the convenience of not having to carry around a ipod and a phone when you can have it all in one. and its very easy to put music on the iphone
    maybe you guys disagree with me but im a total iphone fan.

    • Guest

      lol shows that you run your mouth without knowing anything about android. Does it have a bunch of apps? yes tons, and they are free!
      it plays music just like your iPod.

      All your points fail

    • Guest

      They are already reporting over 40,000 apps ready for the phone. And best of all they aren’t going to censor any of their apps. Google feels that it’s up to the consumer to buy, create, or get for free any app regardless of moral content.

      • Guest

        AND THEY’RE PRETTY MUCH FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

  6. Jeff

    I LOVE my unlocked jailbroken 3gs….

  7. Waiting to see..

    I see people bashing other people because of a freaking phone. Get real. I wanted to hear peoples opinions on whether or not they believe the Droid has a chance to meet or beat Iphone standards. I own both an Iphone with AT&T and I own a Omnia With Verizon

    Anyway Here is my opinion on the 2 phones and the network they run on:

    Iphone = Great Phone.. No doubt about it. It set a trend for all other phones to meet or beat. It is the epitome of what a phone should be.
    1) easy to use
    2) Fun to use
    3) Great design
    4) Good response
    5) Multi Touch
    and a whole slew of other things including an Apps Market for purchasing additional helpful software or games. As well as Itunes.
    But it does come with some cons

    1) Its on a horrible network
    2)Drops call (Chalk it up to Horrible network above)
    3)Pay for apps (Some are free but most of the good ones you Must Pay and for a budget conscious guy like me every penny counts)
    4)Cannot change battery and must bring it back to apple in order to change it or it voids your warranty
    5) Must pay for software updates

    Plus a slew of other cons which most are because of the network its on so i wont bash the phone itself. But.. There is an old saying “Show me your friends and ill tell you the type of person you are” Which i know some people are gonna bash me on.. lol but its my opinion so who cares.

    OK On to The Droid

    Droid = Great concept. Took the standards set my its competitor and improved upon them. Hope it does what it says.
    1)Great design
    2)2 touch screens regular plus landscape
    3)Querty keyboard from those who are not too fond of the touch screen
    4)Apps
    5) Multi Touch
    6) Speech recognition
    9) On the largest and fastest 3g Network

    I cannot say more because this phone has yet to be released so no1 knows the full capabilities as of yet.

    Cons
    1) Untested
    2) Untested
    3) Untested

    The reason why i have to proclaim this as a con.. is because I remember all the hype about the Blackberry Storm and then it was the HTC Touch.. Blah Blah Blah.. all say they were iphone killers but to this day have not even come close to hurting the iphone. The closest thing so far that has been tested and proven to be more responsive with better features standard on the phone is the Palm pre.. But thats another topic and discussion.

    Verizon = The Network to set the standards for all other networks

    Pros
    1) Great voice coverage
    2) Great Network Coverage
    3) Verizon small business plans
    4) Great for mms and sms ( If your phone is capable which 9 out of 10 are)
    5) Great Customer service Via – 611

    Cons
    1) You have to pay for sms and mms
    2) Can be pricey
    3) Horrible customer service – In Store (Some stores)
    4) Limits broadband usage to 5gb a month even if its unlimited
    5) Have to pay for GPS navigation and wont allow you to use 3rd party GPS navigation for free

    Im sure there are more.. But im just touching the basics here

    Ok on to AT&T

    AT&T = Also a very large network
    Pros
    1) Has an exclusive contract with the Iphone
    2) Has the Iphone
    3)Sells Iphone both new and refurbished
    4) Great In Store Customer Service

    Thats all i can see with them right now..

    Cons
    1) Horrible Network
    2) Horrible coverage
    3) Horrible Customer Service – Via Phone
    4) No Insurance on the iphone<— SUPER WOW!!!

    TO sum it up.. The Iphone is a proven phone.. IT does what it says it does. If it doesnt do it.. it does not say that it does it. BUT.. Everything can and will be improved upon.. From cars, to planes to trains to cell phones, Someone will eventually come out with something better that takes over from its predecessors. Now I’m not saying that the Droid will do this. Im saying that there is a chance.. IF… IT does what it says it does and doesn’t boast something that it doesnt do. Many a phone have made claims but have fallen short of that “Iphone Killer” moniker. I guess we will just have to wait and see.. But I for one would love to see the Iphone on Verizon and test it out to see what it can really do on a great network.. Also.. i see a lot of Bill gates references in the commercial or PC stuff.. This IS NOT.. AND I REPEAT… IS NOT.. AND I REREPEAT…. NOT A Windows Platform.. It is an Android platform not to get mixed up with the Windows Mobile Platform so get it through yours heads once and for all.. this is an OS created by Google.. Not Microsoft..

    I want anyone who owns an iphone and has had to change the battery to raise their hand. I have never replace the battery in any cell phone, nor have i replaced the battery in an ipod. Who cares if you cant remove the battery (oh yeah and if you go to an apple store they will do it for you. wouldnt you have to go there anyway to buy a battery?) I rest my case on that point. It cracks me up that all these people are saying how great the droid is and they have never even held one in their hands. dont you think you should at least use it a little before you start making all these claims about it being an iphone killer? Also blackberry still owns the market on smartphones so shouldnt we be talking about a blackberry killer? I own an iphone 3gs and have never had a dropped call nor have i ever been without internet service, suck on that verizon.

    • GuestListn

      AMEN!!!

      • Guest

        1) I’m on Verizon, I’ve had half the dropped calls my friend has had with ATT SUCK ON THAT ATTT!!1!1!@W!!

        2)I HATE MY BLACKBERRY, I hope this phone is a blackberry killer because F*** that piece of S***

        HAIL SATAN!!!

    • Guest

      Can’t you just order a replacement battery on the web for every phone but an iPhone?

      • Guest

        I usually just bought a hi-cap battery with my phones, and carried the original battery as a spare. Any iPhone user that has done that raise your hand…(sarcasm)

        Lol the petty bickering on here is good for a laugh imo…

        Thought this was a phone thread, not a mac vs. pc debate…

    • Guest

      you go i agree with all you said.

    • Guest

      you were good until you said no drop calls. every phone drops calls even my iPhone. Droid is and will be another failed attempt to be like an iPhone. Face it anything anybody does will have to look at the iPhone to beat it. Not My touch not the palm pre not the storm not any so called iphone killers. droid just get in line with those other wannabees.

  9. Guest

    That’s why after “idont buy brands that bash other brands”, the clip of their “textbook example” comes up, and followed by the “I…oops”, just to be tongue and cheek. The I’m a mac I’m pc ad campaign was and is so successful that it’s merely the basis of windows new campaign of “I’m a pc”.

    Sent from my iPhone

  10. Guest

    No it’s not. The iPhone is such a superior phone it is rediculous. As service goes I live around Philadelphia and I travel and never had any problems with service and I get 3g everywhere. If you have ever had an iPhone you would know how much better it really is. The droid is just another “okay” , “average” phone. People are skuwed by the specs. There so called 5.0 Mega pixel camera sucks compared to iPhones 3.0 mega pixel, it’s not all about the pixels, the iPhone simply takes more clear pictures, that’s it. And the droid is not even multi-touch touchscreen, really wow! To say that motorola has came out with a phone better or even close to better than apple you have to be insane. Apples user interface is far easyer and better in general

    • Guest

      cause you’ve used a DROID right? I’m willing to bet that you didn’t go out today and buy a new Android phone on Verizon, and not to mention, pixels denote the clarity of the picture…

      I’m not sure you can really take any of the points made in your paragraph seriously since

      1)You haven’t had the phone in your possession…
      2)You don’t know what pixels are…
      3)DROID is not one phone, its a line of phones, both the HTC DROID Eris and HTC DROID Passion will be full touch screen and will have the number 1 user interface on them…
      4)When the Passion comes out it will have a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor in it, making it the fastest phone on the market (The Moto DROID and the iPhone both possess about half the processing speed)

      Need I continue?

      I’m sure that my comments will be viewed as “flaming”, but those are just simply facts… any idiot can look them up

    • Guest

      Too bad your iphone or the app you are currently using to write doesn’t have a spell and grammar check!

  11. Folkien

    ” Vague information” like ???

    “scare tactics” ? Like huge campaign of advertising of “app for that” , that all smatphone on wm does since so long …

    “imitate” Apple copy all of existing app on windows mobile, so who imitate ?

    “itunes” itunes is the worst software for find music ever, drm, bad bitrate …ect

    “for bash” i think apple fan cant say that , with the shiting apple politic ^^

    It’s a juste return.

    Now i will buy a Htc Hero or a Motorola Droid. Something with copy/paste is not a revolution. Or not with a crap color screen.

    • Guest

      Lol, dude I’d wait for the HTC Passion, its gonna be the shit, google it, its VZW DROID phone that is going to knock the pants off the iCrap

  12. Guest

    Do any of you have actual tests between these two or is this site just full of people wanting to hear them self speak like something is better just because I say so. So of us would like actual facts.

    • Guest

      No one here knows what they’re talking about…

      The iPhone fans will NEVER admit that there is something out there the could possibly be better than their phone, and the DROID fans are creaming over something that’s completely untested as of yet. Android 2.0 is brand spankin new, the moto DROID is brand spankin new, and if I remember correctly the very first iPhone had a ton of problems.

      None of this matters…

      • Guest

        Dude come back to us iPhone users when Sony and other major electronics start making aftermarket equipment that surround themselves around the droid.

  13. Re: Brilliant

    dude, the whole point of the “I don’t buy brands that bash other brands” was the joke. Thats why they had the “i…. oops, iCame First” The entire point of the last part of the video was to say, Wow, we did that first. Obviously you dont understand advertising very well.

  14. fredphoesh

    Hi Jeremy,
    I dont live in the USA so am not very involved with the iDont campaign, but something the iDont campaign missed is THE REASON I will never buy an iPhone.

    MUSIC!
    With the iPhone, you have to use quicktime, itunes, a proprietory cable. You cannot drag and drop folders of music to and from your phone.

    I detest all of that (and I own two mac computers of my own). I like being able to plug in to a generic USB, on ANY computer anywhere, and just add or remove or copy music to and from the device as much as I want, no interference from a freak controlling Apple.

    This would make iPhone (or an iPod for that matter) completely unacceptable to me.

    • Guest

      you are retarded just make a playlist

      • Guest

        no, you’re retarded…

        since you obviously can’t read, the man is stating that you CAN’T just drag and drop with an ipod or iphone…

        • Guest

          dude just put all your music in a folder and add the folder to itunes. easy day. if this is your for not getting an iphone you have no idea what you are missing. lol

  15. B.LowMe

    You are all stupid. I am on Verizon and would never switch to AT&T. But that doesn’t change the fact that iPhone is still better than anything the Verizon has to offer. Even if the HTC Passion has the fastest processor that’s conceivably possible, I, the average consumer, won’t give a shit. It is way more user friendly and fun to play with than any HTC device. Verizon will have the iphone in Q4 of 2010, and all of you retards will be silenced. For now I am stuck with a shit ass Voyager, which was briefly called “the iPhone killer”, I can upgrade, but I know the Moto Droid will be obsolete in less than a year. Peace the fuck out!

    • Guest

      LOLZZ!!!!

      See, the point about the fastest processor to me would matter greatly, not only is HTC’s sense UI the number 1 user interface, but with a 1Ghz processor it’ll be the fastest by far!

      The iphone will be obsolete by Q4 of 2010, so why bother getting one then, it’ll remind you of your pos voyager i bet.

  16. Penis

    penispenispenispenispenis

    you’re all idiots

    its just a phone

    iphone sucks ass, but noone will ever admit it because its shiny and made by apple

    droids havent even been tested yet

    blackberrys suck so bad

    every phone sucks, none of them will ever live up to your rediculous standards

    you all suck, get off my internets…

  17. Guest

    what everyone fails to take into account with the next iPhone killer is that first you need to spend oh say a few decades building a loyal and extremely faithful following, then launch a phone that totally integrates with the 2-3 Macs at home, etc etc. Until then, EVERY new phone will be good and maybe better than the iPhone at somethings (maybe everything including price/rates) but it will just be a phone – new and shiny. but after the first few weeks of new wear off, what do you have? a good phone – yawn. meanwhile the Mac Faithful have a phone that allows them to be more faithful to Apple. no Windows based phone will ever get there. all others are just a spark – no base for a true fire.

    • Guest

      So basically it needs to be shiny and made by Apple to be cool? Motorola has been around longer than the iPhone… Also not everyone who has an iPhone has 2-3 macs at home, ya rich bastard… Thats at least 6,000 worth of shitty computer technology when my HP quad-core beast (find a mac with a quad core…) cost 1/6 of that, and its far more capable than any shitty mac, I know, I’ve owned a mac, and after the first few weeks of new wore off what did I have? A shitty computer that wasn’t capable of fucking anything – yawn…

      • Guest

        I have a Mac Pro with two Quad Cores. Idiot.

        • Guest

          lol, that sucks

          I have a 8 core computer as well, and I built it myself for about half the price of that shitty mac pro or whatever idiot mac lover…

          • Guest

            Mac sucks, even with 8 cores its super fast at doing jack shit, unless of course you want to get to your itunes quicker or edit a video of you and your gay friends doing stuff that isn’t at all cool, but you keep posting it on youtube because you got a few “right-on” comments…

            Also, try finding a quad-core mac laptop…

            Also, the only reason mac even has quad and eight core processors is because of Intel, intel saved mac’s ass so hard and noone realizes it…

            you’re an idiot and I hate you

  18. RobertM

    the problem is not the iphone…

    the problem is AT&T.

    The simple true is that AT&T’s coverage is really bad. If AT&T expects there customers to stay loyal, they should concentrate on improving their coverage. I am an iphone owner on AT&T and I cannot stand the coverage, nor their customer service. It really is awful.

  19. Vincent j Kendrick jr

    The iPhone rocks, apple continues to evolve the iPhone, it gets better and better with each new update and each new genration of iPhones, it is the ultimate phone and it will always be the one that sets the bar and standard for phone tec, so go ahead Verizon try and beat the ultimate phone it will just evolve into something even better than it already is and then what are you going to do then? I know cry wee wee all the way home, in closing I just want to say thththththththththththth!!!!!!

    • Guest

      Its gonna be HILARIOUS when Verizon gets the iPhone and it just goes the way of the Razr, remember how AWESOME everyone thought that piece of shit was? iPhone is a fad and nothing more, same with DROID, its just a goddamn phone and for anyone to lose their shit over any phone just solidifies the fact that America has become a fat, shitty, materialistic country…

      Its a fucking phone, I don’t care what it can do, its just a fucking phone, and for people to argue over a piece of shit iPhone vs. something that hasn’t even really been out for a month… well… The iPhone sucks, and anyone who says otherwise is just obsessed with everything Apple… People who tell you the DROID will be better than the iPhone are just jealous that they can’t have one because mommy and daddy won’t let them switch providers.

      • Guest

        Would you like a little cheese with your whine? Tool.

        • Guest

          The above post about whining and cheese makes no sense… dude isn’t whining about shit… TOOL LMFAO!!!!! I INSULTED SUM1 ON TEH INTERNETS!!!!11@!!!J!PO1!! IM SO FUCKING COOL!!! 1337 h4xx0r!!!!!

  20. Guest

    Being held in solitary confinement by iTunes is torture enough. The DROID is an open phone. I can move music to it from any computer without having to self destruct my existing “music library”.

    Happily, very happy, iDON’T do iTUNES.

  21. Guest

    Wow, the Internet really has given stupid people a voice. Congratulations, you’re all morons. Now go masturbate to whatever phone/carrier you blindly worship.

    • Guest

      ha, well said sir, but this has been entertaining to say the least. People are so damn stupid it makes me laugh phones a phone, nuff said. they’re both going to have ups and downs…

  22. Guest

    I am really amazed at the ridiculous comments on this forum.
    To begin with the “A Phone is a Phone comment is silly. The iPhone brought to fruition what everybody talked about for years. The “smart phone” any other manufacturer has allot of catching up to do to compete. Someone will eventually build a better mousetrap they always do.
    I’m so tired of the Mac vs PC thing I want to throw up. They’re both great and they both Suck. If you buy a computer for any other reason than to have it do what you need you’re a fool. Video editing, audio editing and most art related activities the Mac wins hands down. For writing a book doing CAD work and many technical jobs PC are the stronger. Why… The software you fools. If you want to know who is who and what is what; which I sure you dolts don’t talk to the software makers like Microsoft, Apple, Adobe and many more. It is the products that they develop for a particular platform that will make or break a product for a particular platform. People invest their egos in bashing what they know the least about. Sports fans really know very little about a sport. Facts and history of a sport means little. If you don’t know how to play a sport and you can’t do it you don’t know very much about it. I’ll bet that most PC users can’t install a hard drive or RAM. In fact, I’ll bet most of them don’t have the vaguest idea how these devices work and why. So that said we have a bunch of very ignorant people yapping about things they know nothing about. Amazing!

  23. The iPhone is gr8. So many reasons. The phone works. I had a Treo before, phone crashed all the time. The apps r cool. So many neat ones. Weird games that entertain for a few hours for only 99 cents or even free. Does the web well, except for flash – ugh!

  24. Guest

    Guys, I just got a TRACPHONE from my local Walmart and WOW!! It has got to be the best thing since sliced bread. It had push button numbers on the front that I use to call people! it has this new TEXT feature that I hope to learn how to use soon. It looks really cool next to my walkman so I can listen to my music until I get a phone call. YAY

  25. Ken C.

    Lots of folks with ‘tude here. Get off your phones and computers and get a life!

  26. Who really cares – the ipod / ipad will rule the universise. It’s a cult thing.
