Subject: Re: [phone] Verizon vs AT&T by BrianCunningham on 2010/2/24 14:59:38 OK checked out the Droid last night, and then when across the mall to the AT&T store to do a back to back comparison with the iPhone. Loaded the same forum pages on both phones, as well as the same YouTube video. Both seemed to load the forum pages pretty well. the iPhone seemed to want the load the ENTIRE video before playing, I finished talking with the sale rep and the video had STILL not finished loading! I liked being able to use the pointing device on the Droid to navigate the pages. To easy on both phones to accidentally open a link by mistake on the screen. The screen style keyboard on both worked OK, but too a little getting used to. The full keyboard on the Droid was cool, though with the pea sized keys I may need to let my thumbnails grow out a bit. I wonder if people actually do that? phone nails as opposed to coke nails LOL Some features were not as intuitive on the Droid as the iPhone, zoom for instance, others were better, getting to the internet for instance. WTF do I type in my URL's d@mn it! The droid when immediately from portrait to landscape mode, when the phone was rotated. The iPhone didn't, I actually thought it was broken. Cost wise both data plans are $30/mo. But I can get the voice plan $30 cheaper through Verizon, I don't talk that much so I don't need either an unlimited or 900min plan. So, if I pick Verizon, than it's basically FREE  Now for the weird part, I have Verizon @ home for my internet & phone. If I combine the two I can save another $15/mo, but I needed to walk down to ANOTHER store to talk to someone about it. Sseems Verizon & Verizon Wireless are considered separate companies, which is kind weird BTW if you go to impress your friends by sending them an email from your Yahoo account from the iPhone in the store REMEMBER TO LOG OUT. Here's to you Raul!  LOL |
