Though I didn't know the Droid was as cheap as it is, but it is still the ugliest phone of the bunch.

Ugly? LOL Its the same style. Its flat and rectangle. Just like the iPhone and EVO. :spock:

It's a HUGE plus for those living in Texas. For people not in a 4G area, it's only not a plus if they don't get 4G by the time the phone is outdated.

On a cross-thread side not... have you seen the new features in Android 2.2... simply amazing how far Google just leapfrogged everyone.

Yeah, I've seen them. I've always been a big fan of Android. I just wish the apps were in the same arena.

Unless Apple surprises people this year and kills exclusivity, I'm going to get a Android phone.

Apparently Google started rolling out the 2.2 update for the Nexus One this morning.

That's one of the reasons I went with Android, I thought they would evolve nicely, but even I'm impressed. Apparently they're already talking like they'll be another update before the end of the year. I did catch some of their conference yesterday, pretty impressive. They seem to be focusing on making all of your devices sync up with each other. Being able to select apps or songs from a desktop that automatically download to your phone, or making it easy to stream your music library remotely through the phone.

It should be good for everybody, because they are really starting to push Apple and Blackberry. This stuff is evolving so fast, now we're talking about EVO, Sprint 4G... etc. A year from now you might be able to get an Android device running on Verizon's 4G network that syncs up with your desktop and TV. You are never going to be able to keep up.

Agreed on apps. I think with 2.2 and all the new APIs... we are going to see more development that blows Apple's apps away... BUT it will take time before that happens...

Check out the video I posted in the iPad thread, the SPEED of Android 2.2 is just going to kill people.

You HONESTLY don't think that a tablet with Android 2.2 won't kill an iPad in every way except maybe battery life? Guess we'll find out in the next few months.

BigMeatballDave 05-24-2010 08:29 AM

I've had my Droid for 3 1/3 months now. I freaking love this thing. Android is a Godsend...

Typical Apple/Mac owner behavior. LMAO

Early reports are that the Evo battery life is absolutely horrendous, especially if 4G is enabled. Apparently, the battery won't last an entire day with 4G enabled, and numerous reports of it only lasting 4-6 hours. Too bad, if true...
