So...this ARE the droids you're looking for?

--

I'll admit - that's one sharp looking phone. It's not very slick or sexy like a model but it's got the look that screams geek appeal. It just looks tech-smart.

I APPROVE THIS PHONE. And also, I really want it.

[Jghelfi]

haha i started laughing at the commercial cuz i CAN do those things with my phone now....


...cause i JAILBROKE IT!

[heyo-captain-jac...]

These are definitely the droids I'm looking for.

Can I get it with a Dvorak slider keyboard?

So did everyone else. I think it's like one in ten iPhones that are jailbroken.

AT&T is alright, its just the 3G that isnt good at all. I did some research on the verizon commercial with the 2 coverage maps and it turned out to be true about how AT&T's map looked...amazingly funny..

[fixtatik]

Two things: why add a keyboard that makes it twice as thick, and why would you want a 10mm plastic lens with digital zoom and f-number of 128?

[creole]

i want the MotoCliq, but the Motorola Droid right now is lookin pretty' sexy.

[*Janette*]

lol i thought we were going to discuss droids.




this looks cool. i think my brother is getting this phone. still love my iphone though.

[superstitious]

I don't care for the iphone, but prefer to stick with AT&T. I'm sticking with my Samsung Epix.

The DROID looks very cool. If I had Verizon, I'd consider it eventually.

hahah sorry!

you can probably make a Droid topic in TV/Movies?

-----------

Verizon is the way to go. If the iPhone was on verizon, then apple would have a bigger profit. The droid also has a Physical and Virtual keyboard.

its friggin awesome!

So i just got a tmobile mytouch. Its android OS. Its user friendly but somewhat complicated at first.

Does anyone else have android OS? Do you like it? Have you DL'd any cool apps?

[creole]

i had the motorola cliq. (mostly for social networking) ADROID OS is hard to get familiarized to.


at first, i didn't like it. but i started to appreciate it when i realized i could do so many other things. i wouldn't say androids are as simple like the iPhone, but the android is very freely open source. that's an advantage if you want it to be like a personal business phone or whatever.






btw, tmobile has BAD customer service. they f*cked up my sidekick for like a month and they don't give a shit about my phone. half of it is my fault, but still they should at least give condolences.
