Droid is latest iPhone challenger | The Columbus Dispatch

In one corner, we have Silicon Valley tech heavyweight Apple and its widely popular iPhone.

VZ, get the message and pound it hard into your loberster brain okay, "it's still not an iPhone".

It's still a cheap imitation to the iPhone. You couldn't pay me to go back to Verizon. When will they get it? Coverage is only one aspect of running a successful wireless business. Maybe they could invest in state-of-the-art products, better customer service and pricing as well. Wake up Verizon!

My company gives us what ever carrier is cheapest for the contract,and I have to say Verizon was my favorite. I didn't have to deal with customer service so I can't comment on that, but the coverage and voice mail was far better than Sprint/Nextel or Cingular/ATT. Sprint will deliver my voice mail when I'm out of service range when they feel like it. And ATT just doesn't give me the coverage for the area I'm in. This will be Motorola's biggest hit, last one was the Razor I think, they have been losing the headset battle for awhile.

Not sure why they omitted the Motorola Cliq--just out from T-Mobile. I would be interested to know how it differs from Droid. I just got one and so far, I'm pretty happy with it. Beyond the proliferation of downloads (and I would be a bit happier with a shorter list of apps with better indexing--seems like too many games with younger appeal, where I am of a more practical mind), it pulls together messages from a variety of venues (facebook, email, twitter, etc).
