Switch to the droid now, by this time next year they should have the iPhone. Then you can upgrade if you do a one year plan, or a 2 year plan with annual upgrade.

Only issue is I don't think the Droid does what I need, which is integration/syncing with iTunes/AppleTV. ...at least I couldn't find any info saying that it could. I want to be able to take my iTunes Music and Movies with me to Hawaii, because the flight is going to be long long long. If only my wife was eligible to upgrade (she has ATT currently).

If they would simply stop screwin' around with some stupid D pad on the keyboard like the Droid has... STANDARD QWERTY KEYBOARD ONLY, DAMMIT... I think I would jump from my Sprint/Rumor1. As it is, I was seriously contemplating the HTC Touch Pro2 from Verizon, as it's about 150 cheaper when all is said and done vs. the Sprint one... but it's gimped a little too from Sprint's.

There are so many choices... how do you choose? Just jump in? I refuse to buy Apple. After reading about the Droid... it's not as good for me as the HTC Touch Pro2. That, and Verizon's plans simply suck compared to Sprints.

What I'd want? A Droid inside with an HTC Touch Pro2 outside. THAT would be just about perfect.

Droid has been working good for me so far. Keyboard is usable and I agree on the D pad. They should have left that out and centered the keyboard more. It's a long stretch for my right thumb to properly type, and the space bar should have been wider. With those two blank keys on the bottom row, there is plenty of room for a wider space bar. The onscreen keyboard isnt too bad, but this is my first time using onscreen, so it'll take some getting used to. Luckily I have skinny fingers, so that helps.




I jumped on the Droid since i've always likes Motorola phones. Better reception out here in the woods than Samsung, LG, etc. The HTC Eris is nice too and considered it. Their UI looks nice. They do have another one rumored to be coming out this quarter called the Passion.

Motorola's Media Link Software is supposed to sync your music with a droid phone, and claims to work with iTunes.

I learned that one of the geocaches I failed to find last week was literally within arm's reach at the time as soon as I found it today.

I learned my ICQ account got hacked and was now owned by someone in Russia. I took it back, but all my contacts are now gone and replaced with theirs. Grrrrrr...

once again, verizon's ad's are amazing and really catchy

I absolutely love the "there's a map for that" bit! From a businessman standpoint, that's absolutely brilliant!

As creative as the ads might be, I view them from a slightly different perspective. As a Verizon customer, I can see why they create them, but it just serves as a constant reminder to me that Verizon doesn't have the phone that I really want, which is annoying. Sure the network is great, but you don't need to remind me that you don't have the phone I want at the same time you remind me you do have the network I want.

Whatever guys. I've got an iPhone and love it and I've got 3G everywhere I go at least. So Verizon can suck it!

Can you do a wipe/restore on your iPhone like you can for an iPod? If something corrupts an iPod you can plug it into your computer and through iTunes you can basically do a wipe of it and return it to all factory setting and defaults. Just be careful as I think you may lose anything saved on it (contacts, pics etc.)
