I am not a fan, just giving some facts:

Weather app takes 2 seconds to open on iPhone 3G S(not 30 seconds)

Many function runs simultaneously on iPhone.

For Example: Flycast radio runs at the background. While its being played you can browse

Voice recorder runs at the background.

Push notification always notify u the moment u get message on any social app like yahoo,google,ICQ,Windows Live,SKYPE etc.

Talk n browse at the same time on Wi-Fi as well as 3G.

iPod runs at background.

Haha what a nerdy apple jackass. I've dropped my Droid more times than I can count and I've had it since November. Still DOES everything more than I-shit phone beautifully fast and smooth as well.

iphone will break. the screen will smash, but it still kinda works wooot...who wants a touch screen that is smashed? ive had my droid since december, and it is perfectly fine.

check out the video on the iphone on my channel, it will break!

[zipperator]

Droid wins! all the way!

[aparicio903]

Its called "locale" and it can be a handy app because u can program your phone to automatically switch to vibrate when u get to work or go to a movie theater. Only downside is that u need to have your GPS on at all times so it can drain your battery faster.

I have a Droid and I really like it. I bought it at Sams at the AT&T booth. The guy told me they didn't even carry the IPhone here because it ain't worth a crap in this area. So if U live in Southern Illinois don't buy an IPhone.

whats the app called 'low cal'

[b1g1freeagain]

i got my droid the other day. i like it a lot. i never owned a iphone but i did own 2 ipod touches. similar to the iphone minus the calling and camera i guess. i hate at&t because i've had an unlimited talk plan with them and my calls kept dropping so I decided to get droid on verizon for that sole reason. let me tell you the droid is awesome. Almost all similar apps that can be found on iphone can be found on droid. it looks nice and you can use the qwerty and virtual qwerty. droid ftw serious.

to his comment on the mac vs windown. I think if your tech savvy you should be using linux and using command line to do everything. I think people use the mac just to be different but its not better than windows.
