Drois does it all and you get the VZW Network which is far superior. As far a GPS, free Google Maps with heads-up navigation. The device is unbelievable. Also it has a tactile keyboard on top of touch.

The only issue that i have with the iPhone is the battery doesnt retain its charge as long as the phones that i had in the past
Also, the iPhone doesn't have a removable battery. If the battery malfunctions - a whole new device is needed.

Two reasons I will not get an iPhone:

1) No removable battery
2) They're for fags


Hope this helps!

The droid is a nice consumer device... Sucks if you use a corporate email server though.

The Verizon network is a little larger, not really THAT much though, but when in AT&T 3g coverage, the service is actually better. The AT&T 3g network is definitely better than the EVDO network of Verizon. You can use internet services while talking on the phone... You can't do that on the EVDO network.

The EVDO availability is way larger than the AT&T 3g network though... You end up on AT&Ts edge network a lot if you're not in a major metropolitan area.

As far as apps are concerned... right now... The iphone is the app king... Games and Usable utilities included.

The droid map and directions app is the bomb though... but that's really just the one singular thing I love on the droid over the iphone.

I have to deal with exchange activesync and corporate email though... so I'm sticking with the iphone for now.

Plus you can get insurance for it.

And the Droid is less gay. More masculine if you will - it is up to you

Hehe, droid seems bigger and bulkier, more squarish looking..I  like how suave the iphone is, if you want to call a cool customizable chrome and black phone gay....well then you have some issues.

I understand if it was hot pink, but come on now...

I have owned both phones.  The Driod is better,imo. 99% of people who are commenting on the Driod  have little to no experience with one, because it's so new.  The Iphone sucks for business.

Oh of course, how could we forget.. Google sent you a droid prototype to try out a year ago  ::)  ::)

didn't the thing just come out a few weeks ago ?

Who cares?  I have a Blackberry Bold 9700, and it works in China, Europe, and probably on the fuccking moon.  AND it has a removable battery, AND it isn't a phone for queer pansy-boys like the "iPhone" is.

 I didn't ask about BB bold.
 Please tell us about the removable battery.

I have an iphone and a driod...I've had he driod since the day it came out.  It's not rocket science.  It' better for business and I think it performs better as a whole.  It took me all of 2 days to learn how to use it.  The Iphone is cool, but the Driod does everything the Iphone does...plus you get much better service, it's cheaper (with the data package for business) and it's got a regular keyboard to go along with the touch screen.

anybody spending more than $100 on a phone and buys into the whole bullshit marketing crap needs to have a reality check - I mean - you call and recieve calls - maybe emails - but all that crap like facebook and all the aps is just not needed.
