[regenjo]

Those manly hands don't fit the female voice.

[hilopjk]

im just kidding you guys, i love the DROID ^_^

[hilopjk]

@joemrp05 OMG they drop calls and have software problems?? O_O.

that doesn't sound like every other smartphone at all -.-

[Legoman0323]

@hilopjk 1 iphone sux ballz along with all of apples shitty products, and 2: its been 9 months since the last droid from motorola you moron...

[hilopjk]

@Legoman0323 yea and 4 months since Htc announced the incredible. the point is there are a bunch of different android phones that are inferior to phone that is second to RIM in just 3 yrs.  so much failed attempts at trying to beat the best smartphone made for consumers. its kinda sad. but i guess u and ur FanDroids will never get it.

[hilopjk]

@Legoman0323 oh and if apple has so much shitty products, then why is it the worlds biggest tech and mobile. company? dumbass.

[randomvidz94]

hi i have a droidx and everytime i make a call or receive a call there is a voice saying Verizon Wireless , anyway I cant get rid of it ?

[hilopjk]

@randomvidz94 yes u can get rid of it by tossing it into the trash, and getting yourself a real phone.

[randomvidz94]

@hilopjk a real phone hahaha I would say go fuck urself . why you Trollin' here anyways ?

[mo90036]

lol @ the people who think they have alien technology in their pockets, dude you just don't get it do you. Next thing you're gonna tell me is a honda civic is the same as a bmw just because they both have wheels and an engine; there's this concept of quality and design that plays a very important role to some people. Also i don't remember motorola inventing the first touchscreen phone, apple did, in fact HTC and all the others are simply copying apple's design over and over.

[Chase993]

@mo90036 When does this copy the iphone? Is it the multitasking, folders 1 Ghz processor, HD Camera, or the front face camera that's doesn't have to work with wifi?

[1sexyalbino]

@mo90036

yeah but Motorola invented the first cell phone...and the concept for touch screen phones have been around for a long time..ever heard of a palm pilot?

[mo90036]

@ chase and albino

As we can all see how well the palm pilot did : ) You're missing the point dude.

The point is that most of this technology has already been invented well before apple , microsoft, palm, etc.. What apple did was revolutionize the way you USE it.

As for the multi-tasking, folders and HD camera, that's all in the new iphone what's your point? as for facetime working with wifi, are you willing to pay for the bandwidth that a video call uses?

[mo90036]

last but not least, why would you even wanna do a video call outside of a wifi zone? what are you gonna do? video call someone from your car?

[bangornowvacop]

I am going to be outside the store watiing to get this!

[JamesJDMoe]

damn, that fone is huge. and i thot the evo was the biggest fone.

[rhyne222]

I think the keyboard is not good , buttons look so close to each others that makes the typing hard like mytouch.

[Sinistar24]

The back(camera) looks like a polaroid camera.

[welsch9]

The phone has to much glare... r u kidding me?

[MRBIGGIEMAC]

@welsch9 lmao its called a sgp antifinger print shield it gives it a nice anti glare screen lol a for effort 

[west2770]

Really, I use iphone right now but I don't like it. My wife bougth it for my B'Day. It feels to girlie. I don't like it.

[jeffinitely]

@hilopjk you really need to get laid and stop whacking off to pictures of Steve Jobs.. a company offers a competitive solution so the iPhone and all the fanboys can do is spout off about features nobody gives a shit about.. most people don't give a crap what the DPI is on a phone screen as long as it looks good. I for one refuse to ever own an Apple product simply because of the general attitude of the company and it's iSheep followers. Keep calling Android phones toys if it makes u feel better

[meyersd66]

@jeffinitely - The reality that iPhone has a serious competitor does not sit well with people who though they had alien technology in theor pockets. At the beginning of 2011, Verizon will have the top two smartphones for sale while AT&T will have one. Wait untul the Driod X comes out and people start leaving the S.S. iPhone...

[yoitsjeremy]

I have the MOTO devour and I really like motoblur and I'm getting the the MOTO Droid or should get something else I'm really trying to decide because Verizon has Lot of good android phones???

[C5nightrid3r]

It does alot, looks cool, but its big as shit.. and I'm not getting rid of my iphone..

[meyersd66]

@C5nightrid3r - Because you can't. You got suckered into a contract with AT&T.. LOL

[VideoGuyNC]

It's a phone.

[bcoolrob]

Drop it on the concrete and watch it break ;~)

[MRBIGGIEMAC]

@bcoolrob nope same glass as the orginal motorola droid takes alot to break the glass on them its not an iphone lmao and its a solid metal body not plastic very nice phone

[gearyal]

cant wait to get mine

[stockjonebills]

Googles and Android phones are going to do to Apple what Microsoft  did to Apple in the 80's. Dominate with choice and licensing.

[theCOOLkidd69]

@stockjonebills exactly more droids to come..they're just getting warmed up.

[nagrommie]

at what point will these get so damn big that you're basically talking to an ipad.

thanks but no thanks. i'll enjoy my iphone 4.

[LALOMAN18]

@nagrommie Agrees with you on the size.... but then again you have an gay phone... I mean iPhone... lol.

[MrAlayne]

@hilopjk You just another apple fan boy who is closed off to any product but apple. I talked to a guy in a verizon store who said that verizon is getting a new phone between July and December that will be much faster and more advanced than the iPhone. Plus, this phone looks way better.

[vivekricha]

Cool very Cool

[buckeyesrule10]

I have a Droid and I never say that a phone is better than the first Droid, but this looks better. But I need a physical keyboard!!!!! If this had a keyboard then it would be amazing...

[hoboX10]

i would get this phone if an EVO ROM comes out for it

[07liberian]

I Wish It Had A Xenon

[jsystad]

is there a physical keyboard

[blocker71095]

@jsystad this is what I want to know! How did she forget to mention anything about that T^T

[elgharrasmarouane]

BIG phone

[madjunir]

@elgharrasmarouane

small sexi hands too :o

[zinodikudu]

Any word on the battery life? I feel stupid that I just ordered an incredible and it's coming on the 22nd. :|

Good thing there's a 30-day buyer's remorse period in CA! :D

[darkside97]

man thats glossy

[rocketeerhk]

It's so pitty that the Shadow does not have the QWERTY keyboard. If it has the keyboard, I will buy one. At the same time, it's also pitty that Droid 2 (milestone 2) has similar design as Droid. The screen is still 3.7" instead of 4".

[an50331]

how much better is this phone than the droid incredible?

[hilopjk]

@an50331 the droid incredible is a cheap toy if you like droids this one would be better,

[yellowsnow50]

@hilopjk

Are you seriously trolling an android video with your precious "iphone4lyfe!!11" crap? What a waste of time, but your choice I guess.

Also, once a grandma buys an iphone and uses it to its potential, let me know.

[byubangal]

I love the phone, I own a Droid now but wish it would have video conference like Iphone but it is fast with an even faster processor on the way.

[Doctorpeetz]

OMG!!!. I am so excited for this... I am a new Droid convert... Just went a month ago or so and used my mom's new every 2.. For droid... Now I have to wait till Aug for my new every2 so I can get the Droid X... Pass the droid to mom...although... Should I just wait a bit more for that 2GhZ bad boy coming??...what should I do?...or highjack my little sisters new every2 also?...& pass her the DroidX... For the Mega Droid????

[niemeyer18]

@Doctorpeetz you are very sneaky... haha! I would get the Droid X .

[iTzPapi]

@Doctorpeetz engadget said that verizon is allowing you to get the droid x at launch if you have an upgrade in 2010 so you might not have to wait til august

[rayjones09]

How big is that screen and what's the resolution?

[hilopjk]

@rayjones09 Type: TFT capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors

Size:480 x 854 pixels, 4.1 inches

[rayjones09]

@hilopjk Thanks. I just now heard that the screen is 4.4 inches

[hilopjk]

@rayjones09 yea srry i wrote 4.1 typo.

[hilopjk]

DROID=FAIL

IPHONE 4- WIN!

[boxersbeatbrawlers]

@hilopjk

iphone no widgets=fail

[hilopjk]

@boxersbeatbrawlers iphone- +250,000 apps, faster processor, superior hardware,= win

[boxersbeatbrawlers]

@hilopjk

fart apps dont count. free nav, widgets, google ecosystem, flash, true multitasking, open source, overclocking, etc. superior os.

[hilopjk]

@boxersbeatbrawlers oh yea ur absolutely right apps dont count. except for the fact that they determine what the phone can do. my iphone has free nav. i dont need widgets cuz i have apps for them. flash= drain battery and slow down phone. HTML 5 is the future of web standards, and wtf is ur idea of "true multitasking" iphones multitasking is as true and simple as it gets

[boxersbeatbrawlers]

@hilopjk

iphone mutltasking is api limited. html 5 is not the future, it only has a temp solution to video codec, which any webkit browser supports. 90% of sites have flash content, and hardware excel is a big step up to relieve processor %. I like how you have to scroll to see what other apps are open when u mutlitask, lol. adobe is almost ready to release full flash, its only beta, and working great. decent hardware, they could of done better in the os department.

[hilopjk]

@boxersbeatbrawlers yea they could have made a better os, like one thats more customizabe with widgets and all the fun stuff android has, but they decided to make it simple so u can teach ur grandma how to use it. thats y the iphone is dominating the market share of smartphones. no.1 complaint ppl have is att so wen apple switches to verizon in a couple of yrs its market will just keep growing,

[MrUser383883]

@hilopjk FAIL!! the only real new thing that iphone has is just the front camera and a new design..the motorola droid x has back a 8 mega pixel...iphone 4 only has a 5 megapixel..seriously..iphone 4's other features can be put on the 3GS by updating..matter of fact...i can put video conference or video chat on the 3gs..but i aint telling you how!!...haha...

[hilopjk]

@MrUser383883 yea the only new thing it has is glass covering with stainless steel band(which is the antenna), faster processor, bigger battery(which btw outlasts the droid batter 5x) so no need to have a replaceable battery. higest res display ever on a phone (326 ppi) 720p hd recording, new ios4 facetime, etc. ican go on and on. the point is with every little feature it makes droid look like a cheap toy.

[boxersbeatbrawlers]

@hilopjk

tegra2 phones on the way. google has a 3g video chat option coming soon, integrating both pc and phone ecosystem, a true use of video chat, not just limited on wifi, for phone to phone nonsense. the way its intended to be used. screen real estate trumps. retina only give the eye a 3% advantage on most applications with the screen, so larger is better.

[jimijackson]

@boxersbeatbrawlers fring to skype does the job :) you can video chat from pc to phone.

[MrUser383883]

@hilopjk too bad the iphone 4 is having problems..

[hilopjk]

will the battery last longer then 2 hours unlike the other droids?

[endorphineuphoria]

Ninja Blur,,,, damn everything that has ninja in it just is automatically cooler.

[parsonscolo]

Super fast! Ugh.. I need a new phone
