Gonna have to strongly disagree here, I have a droid and it is crap...sorry...horribly unstable, it crashed yesterday placing a damn call. The market is just pathetic, apps pale in comparison and the game selection is just sad. Unless google REALLY ramps it up there is no way they can compete! The only thing keeping me on verizon is verizon....but they have the WORST handset choices bar none!! Get the iPhone already and I'll be first in line to buy one!!!

gentlefury,

That's a very interesting point of view because all I hear are wonders about the android phone so it's nice to hear something other than praise. I had made a YouTube video where I picked apart small details about the Nexus One and got hammered for it, I was called a fanboy...which I truly am no, I use what works best and that I can rely on, but it almost seems, based on postings and opinion online that that droid phones are a lot better than the iPhones and that they are flawless and all that...so thanks for sharing your experience with the Droid with all of us. It is a refreshing point of view.

You know, it's funny you mention this. My wife and I were watching a Droid Does commercial from Verizon and it talked about the 8MP camera and the 1GHz SnapDragon processor and all this technical mumbo jumbo which to you and I makes sense, but for the average consumer they don't care...my wife looked at me and said, "snap what?" nobody cares (at least the mass market that will be buying the millions of phones a handset manufacturer is hoping to sell) what the speed is, all they care is that it works, it can run what I need it to run, it can take pictures, and oh, let's not forget - that it can make phone calls...this reminds me of when the emphasis on Intel/AMD CPU's was speed...nobody (those who are not technically inclined) care.

Does it work and will it get the job done...that's how they should sell it...oh and is it simple.

Trust me when I first got it I thought it was great too...until I realized after a month of market use it ran out...nothing new ever (unless you count spam and phishing apps...all praise the open market...bleh), most apps I paid for are buggy or broken....the apps that do work are eventually broken with updates (I'm now scared to update anything) and since the 2.1 update it has become unbareably unstable but I had no choice....when 2.1 came out I would have a nag dialog every 5 mins saying I had an upgrade available and I couldn't silence it no matter what I did!

I love google and use all of there products but in all honesty if the iPhone doesn't come to vzw my next phone will be a dumb phone for really cheap and a mifi for my iPad!

My daughter and her boy friend are in the process of moving back to the lower 48 after living in rural Alaska. In Alaska he had an unlocked iPhone, she had a dumb phone. He waited until the announcement of the iPhone 4 to see what it was being offered and then made his decision. They got 2 EVO's through Sprint. They have been traveling from rural Iowa where I live to St. Louis, their new home, and back, over the past few weeks. I have heard no complaints of dropped calls, unstable phones, crappy apps, or no service. And I have been asking because I am preparing to make a change myself. And if there were problems I am sure I would have heard about them. My daughter has never been reticent to complain when something doesn't work the way she thought it should, and he is in IT and expects things to work correctly, or know the reason why. Their (his) decision not to get the iPhone 4 was partly because of AT&T and partly because he was not as impressed with the iPhone 4 as he was with the EVO. For myself, I would consider the iPhone if one of two things happened. Apple let carrier provide it, as they do in most other countries, or if AT&T would sell me one. They won't, because they say they don't provide coverage in my area, even though for the first time ever my sister was able to use her AT&T phone at my house this past weekend.

I wish they would just go with t-mobile. t-mobile is faster than the supposed '4g' access that spring offers (here in dallas at least) and i'd love that on my ipad
