Mobile web browsing also....now if it has some volume control....might be what I want.

There are quite a few Android-based phones coming on the market. I'm looking forward to the releases in the next couple of weeks.

I have Verizon. Right now on month to month(I would get that new every two discount too, but the Droid phone, doesn’t appeal to me, I like the MyTouch 3G phone from Tmobile, would be nice if Verizon came up with that

If it’s not GSM, it’s not for me.

I’ll stick with my 3GS Iphone. Thanks.

Pretty sweet. Apple needed some real competition for the iPhone.

I’ve heard it’s not too easy to develop for it though, so the massive number of applications the iPhone has might be hard to reach. I also wonder how easy it is to find and buy apps.

Probably even more than tech specs, these will factor heavily into whether it’s an iPhone killer.

Looks like a winner! And it might be my next phone. I quit AT&T due to too many dropped calls. I’m on Verizon now, and it’s about time they gave us a true competitor to the iPhone.

[LiberConservative]

SWEET! I’ve always wanted an iPhone but refuse to go with AT&T. I’ve been with Verizon forever. Just looking for an excuse to get rid of my POS Razr.

I was going to buy one, then an old man in a robe told me: “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for”. So I moved on.

Any Crackberry addicts have any thoughts on this phone??? My IT guy is one, but I haven’t been able to get hold of him for his thoughts about this phone.

I installed Andriod on my HTC pda. It’s so so nice.

Since it’s a hack it doesn’t support GPS or camera yet, but otherwise it’s much much faster than WinMobile 6.0 (supported) and Winmobile 6.5 (hacked and supported versions)

And the games on Droid,!!! You can play old console games by the hundreds plus all the good old 1990’s pc games! so much fun!

And the RSS reader is superb, audio rss feeds can be downloaded and ready to play with 4 clicks.

A whole lot of financial media websites are building supported widegts for Droid, I see it quickly taking on RIMM’s dominance in the business sector.

[EternalVigilance]

I’ve always felt I had to stick with Verizon, because I travel a lot and need their great coverage.

So, I’m glad to see this, and may well get one.

[RandallFlagg]

Figures.
The same week I buy the iPhone...
(Still love the iPhone, BTW)

[ctdonath2]

So how has Verizon crippled it?

Can I take a picture and transfer it to my computer _without_ paying Verizon for the privilege, and _without_ having to disassemble the device (power off, remove back cover, remove battery, remove microSD card ...)? Can I transfer, say, 200 pictures _without_ literally thousands of key presses?

[dalereed]

as long as they don’t make me upgrade to one of their smart phones I don’t care what they make!
