iPhone / Droid Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I wish I had checked 3g coverage before I got our AT&T I-Phone. Not good! Verizon much better!

If the Droid = Small Penis Syndrome, then would the iPhone = Penis Envy?
Just askin’...
I like Apple’s stuff, but I like Verizon in this fight. They have always been good to me and never had any problems.
I am glad they are getting the DROID and are not handicapping it like previous phones. It will be actually open.
I have heard great things about the DROID so far, and it can only make the iPhone better.
Look at the real 3G coverage map (not the crap map AT&T is using in its ads with that has-been actor that is ANY KIND OF COVERAGE WHATSOEVER), and Verizon kills AT&T, period.
I am not sure if this approach was a good one for Verizon. But, it’s past ads on this have been spot-on no matter what AT&T claims.
The same missle used to kill American servicemen.
That being said, I'm getting a Droid in a couple months.
With Verizon’s CEO stating that they ‘might’ be selling iPhones 3Q10; it seems ‘stupid’ to be bashing them now. Because, when they bash them now, they look like jealous children; if they sell then later they will look like liars.
Verizon’s marketing team needs to find a job working in the Climate prediction industry - as they are utterly incompetent at selling phones.
I’ve said this before on many threads about the iPhone. I am an Apple user but I have to use Verizon for my mobile phone service because no other carrier gives a signal at my residence as well as my cabin.
I waited a long time for Apple to come to their senses and switch to Verizon. When the Droid came out it was enough to make me wait no longer. Having had it for two weeks (returned one the second day I had it because it was defective) I have to say it is everything they advertise it to be.
Family members of mine have the iPhone and love it. Nobody can compete with Apple for total product integration, but Verizon/Motorola/Google have produced a very competitive alternative to the iPhone/ATT. The fact that Verizon runs circles around ATT probably makes the Droid a smarter purchase at this time. But...
Apple seems to always be one step ahead of the competition and when they finally produce a product to compete with an Apple product, Apple outflanks them with a new product. Watch for the iTablet to do just that. Latest rumor is it will be announced in January to ship in early summer...AND priced well below what the industry expects.
(but I do have one)
pick your poison.
I didn’t think “racehorse duct-taped to a Scud” was a very flattering comparison.
Now tell me Sprint missile speed with Tomahawk accuracy and I’ll be impressed.
You can have my iPhone when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers...
Good gravy, why would anyone care if their phone is insulted by a company that sells other phones?
Taking this stuff personally and getting worked up about it (uh uuuuhhhh, ma phones is betterrrrr) is the stuff of 5th grade recess.
Droid commercials are funny. I’m not going to buy one, don’t need a cellphone, but I like the commercials.
The Misfit Toys ad was more effective...
I have sued T-Moble, Verizon, and AT&T (never used Sprint, because they don't have serious coverage beyond metro areas).
IMHO, T-Mobile is spotty coverage, Verizon and AT&T Battle it out (for high speed coverage, NOT cell phone coverage, that's a different matter).
I like the DROID, but the SW is a bit immature so far, and am considering it. I have used an iPhone since about 3 months after activation. I also carry a broadband card. We tested Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile at my company and determined AT&T was the best (slightly) overall. BTW, I work for a VERY large high tech company (revenue in Billions).
I have 2 PCs(run windows and linux) at home and 5 Macs (of various types). I have a BS and a MS in CS. I can tell you that I have more trouble from 1 machine running windows than I have from 5 Macs+Ubuntu Linux.
Facts are stubborn things. Advertising is, well, advertising....I admit it's entertaining and effective, but if you have a job to do, my Mac boots snow leopard in 14 seconds, and I can have Fusion (windows) running on in quicker than I can boot a native windows machine. They guys I work with are still booting their laptops while I am doing useful work on a Mac that is “pretending” to be a PC.
Sounds like Verizon sweet talk to Apple about getting the iPhone went south.
Seriously, every last one of these dips would have to come to my house and personally kiss my rump before I'd ever use their service again.
Verizon makes a mistake by giving the iPhone that much more advertising air time. Apple can pull off witty, humorous ads about their competition, but the only competitive product they reference in their ads is Windows. Otherwise they refer to all of the PC competition via a generic, kind of tubby, accountant looking kind of guy. No brands competitive hardware brands are mentioned. No free advertising for their competition.
Verizon should’ve just referred to the strengths of the Droid phone, and lumped all other smart phones together as being “passé”.
