Subject: Re: [phone] Verizon vs AT&T by biggrizzly on 2010/2/23 19:06:05 My decision to buy the Droid was based on a long term account with Verizon Wireless and the device was discounted since it was two years since I had bought my Blackberry. The DROID has a larger display with significantly better resolution than the iPhone, it does everything that I need it do including all my email accounts and incorporating an awesome web browsing experience. The Google Maps Navigation is free and works incredible as well. Voice search function works flawlessly on 99% of the searches I do for both finding locations on the maps and general web searches while in the car. I just did a speed test using the SpeedTest.net app and my download speed was 934kbps and the upload was 560kbps and that is inside a fairly well shielded building. I'd have to try it outdoors and see if I can do better. It is not slow by any means and downloads web pages nearly as fast as my PC. The Google Aps Store is growing by leaps and bounds and I currently have at least 50 aps already installed including various automotive related software like aDyno GPSspeed that uses the accelerometer built into the device, The Car Home App and other ingenious applications. It is a highly personal decision, but many of my friends have iPhones and think the Droid is pretty cool when they play with it. You need to go fondle these things and see how they work in your own hands. I have read good and bad things about the DROID, but I have never had any negative performance out of it. In a iPod / iPhone Centric world it is easy to understand why people would choose the iPhone, and if I was already a AT&T subscriber I would probably have gone with the iPhone but I am more than pleased with the DROID. |
