| I will stick with my iphone thanks Looks like yet another cheesy attempt to be a iphone. Sure the iphone has its share of bugs but I wouldn't trade mine in for that even if at&t had it. To be honest I wish verizon would get the iphone because thier service is way better then at&t. |

I have the iPhone and it's really a very nice phone. Though, it's not without it's problems. First problem would be AT&T and the lack of 3G deployment. Second would be the amount of dropped calls on any of the services here in North Jersey. Then of course there are the small glithces the phone itself seems to have. Oh, and let's not forget you can't send an SMS with a photo so, no MMS. No copy and paste either and a slew of other small but sometimes annoying issues. But, I'd buy another one and I really like the phone overall. Best I've had so far. |

| I bought my Iphone off of one of my coworkers. 200 bucks, took the sim card from my crackberry and inserted it into my iphone.
I have never had a positive experience with a GSM phone, the sound quality is horrible, calls get cut off, people sound like robots (like when you're trying to do a voice chat over a 56k modem connection). 2 Weeks ago, I was out on the west coast, drove down to Tijuana for the day, 2 blocks into mexico my AT&T signal got replace by some mexican phone company, i was 2 miles deep into mexico, and my sprint phone still had a connection from the states.
I go to canada, samething I could be within a couple of miles from the border and my sprint phone still works (not roaming). I alot of people swear by their GSM phones, but to me CDMA kicks ass. Sound quality and data services are far superior on CDMA than on GSM. I've seen speeds of 2+megabits tethering with my sprint phone. The most I've seen on a GSM network is 156 kilobits. |

Looks like yet another cheesy attempt to be a iphone... It's a good thing manufactureres don't just stop developing a product just because a competitor had already came out with a similar model. If they did, we'd never get anything new.
Just from the specs of the released phone, it looks like it has a few advantages over the iPhone: longer battery life, dual cameras, better main camera (3.2MP vs 2.0MP), CDMA (eventually), etc.
To me though the best thing it has going for it isn't that it has many of the same features that the iPhone has (which most touch screen phones are going to be getting anyways), but that it's Android powered. It has the power of the open source community behind it and is free (as in speech as well as beer). With the iPhone, Apple still hold all the cards and you have to play by their rules. |
