Motorola Droid
Stop Comparing it; Its No iPhone
I'll admit it. Its a nice phone with some potential, but in the end its just another phone trying to compete with the iPhone. Doesn't anyone get it; as long as you keep comparing the next best thing or the latest new phone to the iPHone your admitting that the iPHone is still on top.
When the iPhone came out did it compair itself to any of the other phones saying it was the better....NO it didn't and NO it hasnt. It stood on its own merits. So let the Droid stand on its own as well. If this phone thinks its better than the iPhone than it should prove it based on what it has BY ITS SELF 🙄
The iPhone (when first launched) came out swing and now based on the latest numbers is on the top.

Looks like someones worried that the Droid will be better. 🤣 Why comment?
I'm actually sick of people comparing Verizon to AT&T. AT&T wishes their network was like Verizon, truth is it will never be. Yet people compare them to each other everyday.
So you guys can keep your precious Iphone, and us Verizon customers will keep the a contending phone on a way better network....
A phone is only as good as it's network is.

I would never go as far as to say ATT network will never be as good (or better than) VZW's....thats a little too presumptuous, to say the least. If you want to say that I guess you could also say that VZW will never have a phone as well-rounded and appealing a...

who has a stylus anymore, as far as service between the 2 that one is easy, there is a MAP for that lol... other then that it took your precious iPhone 3 years to allow the phones to do mms on them, o and yeah i can expand my memory with and external card can you? 2nd an internal battery really... yeah don't make me wanna just jump in my car and run down to the local apple store to have them send off the phone and wait and wait and then get charged to have it replaced... hrm fun! another is wow really what 3g network? for as big as att is you would think that they would be right there with vzw if not better i mean come on sprints 3g coverage is better then att so no matter what you think about that iphone the service sucks the phone sucks ...

hey...fanboy neutering... Are you serious.
When the Iphone was first released it was one of the most locked down advance devices ever created. Quick examples (bluetooth, battery had to go through Apple, ringtones go through apple,everything through Apple) That was just to name a few. You call that simple, many call it Neutering!! Apple is by far a bigger control freak then Verizon. Yes I am aware they have loosened up on a few of those issues, but don't go bashing Verizon and google for neutering a phone. The Droid is OPEN DEVELOPMENT. That means anyone can create anything for it and share it with anyone! And as far as Verizon goes this phone is launching with WIFI (and backed by the largest 3g coverage in the US) as well as having Google M...

Apples headquarters in Cupertino (I have been there)is a not a sovereign country with it's own GDP. The article is talking about Gross Margins 😲
The dismal failure of Vista, superiority of OSX, and having the Mp3 market cornered are other reasons that contributed to their success too
...
well here is a thought, you can have all the apps in the world but, if your services sucks all you have is a expensive iTouch. and hey hawk wazzup! lol nice to see yeah in other forums and not just bb... oh and btw i love when people qoute shuff out of context... i got news for you apple fanboys wait till next qtr comes out (not end of year but next full qtr) and see what 7 does to that lil thing you call a GDP. oh fun fact top 5 smart phones 1-3 being blackberries iphone being 4th and 5th was last time i saw the g1.. whats the kicker is the curve 8330 yes old faithful is beating your beloved iphone.... i guess you cant improve on perfection muahahaha! VIVA LA Variety!!!
...
Hey Twizted! It's a been a little known fact that the plain jane Curve has beaten any smartphone out there for a while. It's not the most advanced device, but it's well loved. The Droid should do well. Anything with Android should do well anywhere.
Aww heck...to sum up this whole thread:
"my phone is better than all your phones...na na na na 😛 "
🤣 My how passionate we get about our phones 🤣

Yeah. The old girl is plain but she is reliable. I am going to hold on to her until i can get an iphone without switching carriers. Until then...I can manage with the 8330 just fine.
...
i just giggle with the people that are hardcore (enter phone service, phone, & model) instead of looking at the phone for what it is and what its purpose.... you should check out this other thread I'm in where this guy is bashing the vzw and droid.. why is it when a phone comes out someone with a iphuck comes in and voices there opinion? i bet they haven't even touched the phone that they are bashing on. sigh, turds! i get the benefit of working for vzw so i get to try them out... and i do have experience with the iphone and all i hear from my friends is how they cant wait to jump ship at least hope that vzw will have a better faster iphone. i put money on all the vzw haters if and when the ipuke comes to vzw watch how many jump ship!! you...

"Blackberry is dominating the list" may be the most ignorant statement ever made. Blackberry has many devices over pretty much all carriers whereas the iPhone is 1 device with 1 carrier. Compare apples to apples and nothing RIM makes even comes close.
...
I am talking worldwide market share.. the iphone isn't just sold on one carrier in the world. It is a very successful device and I like it a lot.... just don't think it is god's gift to the world like so many peole on this site that just blindly defend it as if it was. there are many things it has going for it, but for many people... me included it is missing some much needed things that would make it perfect......and there are many worthy options out there if one can open their mind.
As far as one device... I am hoping that apple creates multiple devices.. or better yet open it up like android and let the manufacturers do what they can with the core iphone ui... that would be awesome but I don't see it happening anytime soon

I doubt very much you'll ever see it. Apple treasures their UI too much, and they don't want someone putting it on hardware that isn't up to the challenge.
Of course, rumor has it that google practically designed the Droid, too, so I guess it is possible.

Apple open it up? Not a chance. Look what they've (haven't) done with the MAC.
And yes, the Droid is still not an iPhone. The iPhone can be used anywhere in the world making the Driod a NO GO for those who routinely travel overseas.

true... but it is always cheaper to buy a prepaid once you are over there instead of paying roaming.. so that never mattered to me.
If it did I would get a BlackBerry (even if I was an AT&T customer)

Did you even watch the video tour? The phone has not been castrated by Verizon. It has all the standard look and feel of a ... well, Android phone.
It has speed and smoothness to it, possibly due to that new 550 MHz processor (iPhone 3G runs 412) and the fact that they are using the GPU to render the desktop for a change.
It also has a high resolution display. 852x480 is 480p widescreen (with a tad of bar banding on the sides). The camera is ridiculously high quality for a phone (5MP AF with Flash & 480p 24FPS Video capture?), and it has WiFi.

Thank Krom it's no iPhone. Setting aside any network/functionality issues, some of us like having a phone that not everyone else has. But for those of you that simply must be trendy, here is a list of other trendy things I've seen lately.

If you want to own something different just for the sake of owning something different and being unique - why don't you go back to a bag phone? Maybe you will start your own trend? Think how well it will work when you are in an analog only area?? Think how spiffy and cool people will think you are!!

Your're right, it's not an iPhone. Its better than the iPhone! I'm sure AT&T is wetting themselves over this. This device will do everything the iPhone can't. Better camera, GPS, memory, software/apps, battery, USB/charger, on a better network, etc.
Look how many times Apple had to release the iPhone before it was decent. Look how long it took the iPhone before it could send a PIX message or have 3G, I mean really! All that technology and it took the iPhone a long time to even do basic phone features. To change the battery you have to send it off. And it's on a second best network. Waste of money if you ask me.

How many times have we heard this? It reminds me of the new Mac commercial that's on TV. The Storm was going to kill the iPhone, the Samsung Instinct was going to kill the iPhone, the Pre was going to kill the iPhone, etc etc....
People have such short memories and are so bitter at the iPhone - a decent device with a far superior user experience. You can talk camera resolution (which means absolutely nothing by the way), removable battery, and multitasking all you want - the average person will still pick the iPhone over the droid.
Go ahead though, let it all out, kick and scream, cry about the network, the USB charger (wow really?), and whatever else you can come up with. I'll be here pla...

What he said! All the things that are supposed to make the other phones so much better (Fuze, Pure, Xperia, E90....I could go on...Symbian, WinMo 6, WinMo 6.5....) have never had what it takes to make me keep them over the iPhone.
...
What you are failing to comprehend is that Google has been out for almost a year and it is based on the Linux platform. So, many "Techies" have already written thousands of open-source programs for the platform. Rumor has it that the Android's will launch with around 10,000 applications available. Not an I-phone because Droid does!
...
I have the new Moto and it is great! The Iphone is not! It was GOOD when it came out but after 3 years it still isn't able to do things that much simpler and cheaper phones can do. Speed, network, reliability, camera resolution and the ability to have apps are all legitimate concerns for people to have! The average person will pick the Iphone because they are a slave to there own inadequacies! They feel that they are not cool if they don't have this or that. They feel people will think less of them for not having the newest coolest most expensive toy on the block! Thats a fact of life and is in no way restricted to phones!

People need to compare and contrast. There's no point in defending the phone because no matter what happens, something will get compared to the iPhone.
The main reason that people compare to the iPhone is because is's probably the most capable phone on the market and now with new phones coming out with similar features, it needs to be compared and contrasted.

I own an iPhone and from what I seen of the Droid, its looks like one damned nice phone. I'm sure like the iPhone its distractors will pick on something it doesn't do or doesn't do quite well and go on and on and on. Thats to me is nuts.
If and when they come out with a gsm NAM version of this phone, I will get one and use it on my other line. Which at present I use a Rogers Magic.

Look the point is that the iphone is a very nice product. It is pretty polished, and it absolutely set a new standard for HTML browsing on a phone, as well as great handling of Imap email, and cool apps etc. Apple really controlled the experience (as they do with all there stuff).
It is also a fairly capable convergence device. Stand alone GPS, email, browsing, voice and mp3 player with some nice video playback as well. Easy for consumers to use but not cheep.
This phone seems like it will offer almost all of this and then some. The added versatility will come at the expense of some ease of use. Itunes playlist and downloading of movies, podcasts and music, syncing and Apple vetted applications. This will ...

I want an iphone. I realize that I have a while before it arrives on Verizon (if it ever does). I wonder why you care so much about this or any other phone, however. I understand that it annoys you to have someone dare compare their phone to the iphone. Of course, it is not nor ever will be an iphone. We have to understand that other manufacturers will always compare themselves to the iphone. Just as automotive companies will compare their offerings to Lexus or BMW or Mercedes etc... You get the gist. It's marketing. It's what they do. Since we both know that this Droid is no iphone, I suggest that we kick back and relax and enjoy this comedy.

It's truly is amazing how many so called educated people miss the target and cant have a simple conversation.
So let me say it again...let the DROID stand on its own if you wanna compare a DODGE to BMW than go right ahead. No one shops for Dodge and than buys a BMW...
For all those who think that the iPhone was neutered let me clarify...do we have to go through AT&T's website like VCAST; NO...and no the blue tooth was not locked down and no there was no lock down of any kind on this phone thats why JOBS went to AT&T and they said yes.

The point is: When your device is the standard by which others are judged (and hence judge themselves); They are going to compare themselves to your device. Telling them to stop comparing their devices to the iphone is a waste of time. They will not.

Actually, people DO shop for Dodge and buy BMW. People also shop for Lexus and then buy BMW, which is probably more apropos.
Also, at the risk of being called a grammar nazi (isn't it a bit early in this discussion to be bringing out the name calling?), it is "then", not "than". Then again, misusing then/than seems appropriate for the intelligence demonstrated thus far in this discussion.

I remember hearing about a possible defection rate from AT&T of 30% if Apple produced one for another carrier. That 30% love the phone, but hate the carrier for whatever reason.
Putting an iphone on a bunch of carriers would change things

That's what I would like to see. I don't want to knock the iphone. I want to see it available on all networks so that consumers can choose the device AND the network on which they plan to use it.

Yea, I am not a fan of exclusive agreements in general. I want choices 😁

The problem is that it's a catch 22, without these exclusive agreements a lot of these devices would not get developed in the first place. I think sometimes people forget about the capital in capitalism.

but not the iphone. Before Apple ever created the iphone, everyone and his mother was clamoring for them to make one. The iphone was going to be made one way or another.

Apple is a different bird. Only they can take a $400 laptop and repackage it with an Apple and sell it for $1500. Ps - I am one of the suckers who bought that damn laptop..

I own an I phone #gs and I think you are wrong this phone has the poential to be every bit as good as I phone. It took 3 updates to correct issues with I phone 3gs this last time. I also had 3g and stayed in line all night to get it. I have verizon also and I have pre ordered this phone, Cant wait to get it.I will give it the same chance I have given I Phone. I love I Phone but I really think I will love this also. It may not be perfect at first but neither was I phone in any of its releases. Verizon does have much more coverage area.
...
i'm glad it's not an iphone. iphone is garbage on that garbage network (i'm a hardcore mac user, so i have no hate for apple products). the iphone has a very intuitive interface designed for even the most simple of people- whereas android will have a learning curve to master all the nuances of the os. this is a phone for nerds alike- not my grandmother.
...
Nerds huh? Obviously, too much phone for me. I'll take an iphone...as soon as Verizon gets one please. I'll leave the phone designed for techies to techies. I need the simple, intuitive interface.
...
So - is the iPhone "garbage" or does it have a "very intuitive interface designed for even the most simple of people."
I love people who contradict themselves....
I love people who contradict themselves....
...
Ummmm...NOT garbage! That's for certain! The things which the iphone haters say about the iphone may or may not be true but the bottom line is we 'sheep' still want it. Some want it badly enough to sign up with AT&T. Then there are those like me who pine in the corner and wish we could buy one with Verizon. 😢
...
I did that for awhile too, then I finally signed up for one (without porting my number over) and tried it out for a couple weeks. Turns out that where I live (Raleigh NC) - the coverage was virtually indistinguishable. So I ported my # and have been a happy iPhone user since....
...
Sounds good...for you. AT&T doesn't work for me though. I kept my Alltel service when I sold for AT&T so... *shrug* For me I'm going to have to wait. I DO envy you your iphone though (if not the network it's on).
...
the software is great- no doubt about it- but the network is undoubtedly garbage...and the hardware of the phone isn't anything special. 2MP camera? no flash? only recently able to mms? no tether? so yes, it's a garbage phone with a great interface.
...
NOT a garbage phone! If this phone were available on Verizon tomorrow you would be grinning from ear to ear. I have had Verizon service for years, but if I could get an iphone on Verizon THEN would I truly be a satisfied customer. I do not understand people who worship their carrier to the extent that they have to tear down not only rival carriers, but perfectly fine devices. The iphone is not the greatest phone ever made. It IS the one which I want however. I am not willing to jump ship to get it but as soon as I can get one on Verizon---I am buying two.
...
If the iPHone were available tomorrow on Verizon, I would wait one more day and get the Droid. Sorry. I don't dispute any of what I'm reading here, except for the parts where people claim EVERYONE WANTS THE IPHONE. Not everyone does.
...
as a mac fanboy- and a vzw fan boy- no, i'd likely not get the iphone. i had the iphone- i dont think i'd get another. thanks though.
...
. . .and for this I'm glad. You see, I don't compare this device to the iPhone, but rather see it as a device that I'd really like to have. The iPhone is not for me, and the iPhone is not for others. So many of us are looking forward to the Droid.
You're talking about Verizon adding its apps, do you realize they can be removed? I currently have no VZW apps on my Blackberry. And are you missing the fact that this phone is open?
So Xavier, carry on with your iPhone and enjoy it. Myself, and many others, are looking forward to the Droid and other upcoming Android devices in the year(s) to come.

I'll admit that I haven't read through the mass of messages beneath this first one, however it is very hard for me to take you seriously when you don't know the different between "there" and "their".
