    Droid vs iPhone

    http://cnettv.cnet.com/motorola-droi...-50079391.html

    The "tie breaker" assessment was pretty lame IMHO, but an interesting view.

    LOL - Yeah, why would anyone care about round 5... I mean, you don't really care if your phone makes a call or not, right?

    But I agree.. The iphone makes a better iPod than the Droid.

    I test drove a Droid today. IMHO, it blows away the iPhone. I'm surprised most reviews placed them as so competitive to each other. They're not, the Droid GPS is MUCH better, the data connection much faster, the "tilt" detection feature much better calibrated, the camera was infinitely better (approaching real camera quality and usefulness with the flash), the screen resolution was incredible. All around, a better product.

    I rather liked the tactile keyboard, and thought it felt very solid. The touch keyboard was easily as good as iPhones if you prefer.

    And it's not on AT&T.

    I'm extremely happy with my Droid. It's works far better than I could have ever hoped for. The GPS is great, especially when there is a Google street view available. As you approach your destination it brings up street view with 360 rotation to show you what to look for. I was surprised by this when I tried it the first time and it brought up our Credit Union branch as I arrived at work in the morning.

    With that said.. if rumors are true with iPhone 4th gen being on Verizon this summer - it's going to make the decision making alot harder in the future.

    I'm hoping we get Android 2.1 in the next couple of weeks so I can get the 5 home page screens by default.

    Rumor has it one of the announcements from Apple this Wednesday is that the iPhone exclusivity with AT&T will be coming to an end. I hope this is true.
