Re: Could this kill Verizon getting iPhone next year ? said by Steve B:Apple better watch it. Given Apple's growing fan base and Android's over-hyped, yet mediocre entrance into the market, I don't think Apple has much to worry about anytime soon. Having said that, I do think VZ will snag an iPhone if the financials can be worked out between the two companies. I don't think Apple's latest advertisements are that vigorous, nor do I think they'll drive VZ to shun Apple away. |

| Me, too. I specifically chose it over the iPhone because it's more flexible (although not as pretty). iPhone is simpler, though, so it's going to have more mass market appeal... Android will do well with the "geek market." |

That doesn't change the market share that the iPhone dwarfs the android platforms with. |

I have a "old school", first-gen G1 and I'm still happy as hell with it. |

HTC Hero on Sprint... It's shallow, I know, but I really didn't like the style of the Droid and every Motorola I've had has fallen apart within a year. Plus, the Hero is getting the 2.0 upgrade once HTC updates their UI to deal with it... |

I know some iPhone users that have jumped ship for the Android.
Apple's latest ad is false considering that video showed it "in the heart of AT&T's network" and lagged and lagged and lagged. Apple fans love Apple but won't love a partner if they lie. They love the phone and hate the network.
I never got the hype of the iPhone and its outrageous plans and prices at AT&T. Go to Apple's boards and see the hate.
Actually, I thought the iPhone worked best jailbroken in the heart of TMobile's network.
Of course, at $50 a month, get a jailbroke phone and use Boost. |

Overall I like it.
I'm beginning to think though, the timing of AT&T raising the ETF could possibly be due to all the Android phones coming out. One way to keep people from switching over?? A lot of the forums I've been reading ove rthe last couple weeks have had several iPhone users switch over to Androids.
I'm waiting for the update to 2.0 from Sprint.
