Droid Verdict----Good, But iPhone Still Better!!

Reviews of Verizon's new Droid smartphone----which has gathered attention as of late, are coming in....

The Verdict so far:

If you really, really like Verizon (and there is no doubt that Verizon simply has the strongest overall network coverage right now in the US).....

Then get a Droid----as it's the best smartphone Verizon has to offer.

However-----if you want the best smartphone and are willing to put up with AT&T annoyances.....

Then the iPhone is STILL the way to go.

Two reviews here:
Mossberg On The Droid: The Best Verizon Has To Offer (VZ, MOT, AAPL)
If You Don't Buy An iPhone, Buy A Droid (GOOG, AAPL, MOT)

well, thats a matter of opinion; and I've got to say I'm still in love with my E71, use it everyday now multiple times for browsing, email, GPS and spreadsheet and documents (as well as a phone of course)...

I have noticed that I've become a little frustrated with the "navi-key" since I became more experienced with it; I'd much prefer a central toggle button (tiny joy-stick) since I have to move my thumb to each edge of the navi-key which takes up time and is not a smooth action.

I still think the iPhone is slow, bulky and geared more towards multi-media than the office...

I looked at a guys E71 and was impressed. But the more I use my iPhone----the more impressed I am every day.

And the two reviewers were totally independent from my personal point of view.

(Althought the 5 bucks I slipped them on the side didn't hurt.) LOL
