you'll be back. i've been using the droid for the past month (i don't want to switch to ATT), and let's just say, the day that the iPhone is released on Verizon, my Droid will be on ebay in a hot second.
 
Loved the iPhone but wanted something new. Besides... the fact that iPhonw always wants to replace the word "kids" with "Kidd" was annoying the hell out of me.

Jason Kidd sucks! :p
 
you'll be back. I was hyped for android but after playing with it I could never get used to it. iphone does everything I need. and does it very well. however with everyone else if the iphone ever becomes available for verizon im out. My verizon plan still has an emergency line on it and id just port my number back.
 
I know you'll probably catch flack for leaving us, but keep us posted, I'm curious how it will work out and a review would be great. If it's not all that you hoped I'm sure the fee from HOFO to return will be reasonable.

Good Luck
 
same goes for having that nexus on AT&T with no 3g.. Worthless IMO.
Same goes for the 1st gen iPhone (no 3g) again worthless which is why I didn't get it.
3G is where it is..... A phone without 3g... Well....
 
After messing with android for a few months and back to the iPhone and goi g back to another android device and back to the iPhone I think the issue for me is the lack of quality development for the app store. I mean some of these games and apps were made in a 7-11 restroom or something because they really have little work put to them. So I really didn't see any major developers on that side "maybe they aren't taking android serious just yet?" Rooting is ok and all but really doesn't get you as many things as jailbreaking,I mean most people root just to get multitouch and tethering on there android device. One thing that the nexus one has over the iPhone is the hardware but if you don't have software to push it then you really won't get much use for it,they need to have some better games in the android app store,all the games they have are a bunch of sidescroller games with atari type graphics.
 
seems like the nexus had issues going back HOME... he kept having to hit the home screen several times b4 it went home...
Yea the nexus has a larger screen, maybe 1/4 inch if that... i wouldnt brag about it.

i like my iphone :)
 
Same. I'm always like "Oh cool phone, let's try it, eg Droid" and I instantly miss my iPhone. It's like a part of my soul goes missing. **** Steve Jobs and his fancy toys :D
 
Actually did YOU watch the whole video? There were at least 3 times if not more where he had problems going back to the home screen. And at 14:28 he even says "they[the touch buttons] don't always respond as well as I'd like"
 
I thought about picking up an Android phone just to mess around with (would never get rid of my 3GS though). I'd just keep both.

Either way - I don't see the point in spending 500+ for a phone that can't access AT&T's 3G network. Not worth it at all. Especially given all the issues people are having. No thanks.

That and the fact that I have bought so many apps from iTunes, it's a waste of money to go to a different device and have to buy the same apps I already paid for on my iPhone for a different platform. Another reason why if I won't get rid of my iPhone.

I'm up for a new corporate phone at work in February. I don't know if I am going to go with AT&T or Verizon (we have contracts with both and can choose), and I'm deciding between an Android phone or a BlackBerry. If the new tour for verizon drops before then (9650), I'll go that route, if it doesn't, I will probably go the 9700 route. I thought about the droid but that keyboard is horrendous. Plus I really need the ability to have spreadsheets and documents on the fly and edit them quickly and send them back. I don't know much about Android to know whether or not I'd have issues doing that. My iPhone actually does that very well with documents 2 go, which I know BB has as well.

Plus I've owned several BBs in the past and am already familiar with the OS, so there would be no learning curve, which is always nice.
 
In my experience with the Hero:

HTC have no style, and their handsets are poor.

The Android platform is for techies and won't be mainstream without some major improvements.

The Android app store has some OK apps, BUT the quality of apps is poor. Just as an example, try the android version of motox mayhem - then try the iphone version.

The only thing I miss? Twitter checking in the background and alerting me every hour/half hour.

Android is a nice idea - but for now, that's all it is.
