Will Droid keep up?

[WJ1023]

Seems like we may be lookn up at the competition... I love this phone but I'm a sucker for the latest n greatest. There's a new Iphone rumored n now this; Sony to launch challengers to iPad, iPhone

 

[Bramsy]

i'm not worried

 

[square]

technology keeps advancing? get out!

 

[OrigamiKiller]

hahaha

 

[skunkpbguy]

OMG, there are devices newer than mine? I don't play the big johnson game.

 

[jamo]

meh, I'll wait and see. Sony hasn't been on a roll lately. Also, I always remind everyone that the devices are only part of the equation for me; I love my Droid, but if it was on AT&T and the iPhone was on Big Red, I'd be an iPhone user. The carrier matters as much, if not more, to me than the phone-maker. I never even considered getting an N1 b/c it was on T-Mobile, when it comes to Verizon, I'll think about it. Competition should only benefit us as consumers, better tech with lower prices. Of course, someone needs to tell Apple's patent lawyers that...

O M G what am I gonna do? I guess I will have to sell my Droid ASAP and get a Nexus 1.....oh but wait the HTC Supersonic is coming out soon and that has a 4.3 screen and more RAM....I'll have to sell that Nexus once that comes. Uh oh, TI is releasing the OMAP4 series with A9 dual core processors......crap I guess that Supersonic will only last me a few more months.....I give up.

Sony would be the last brand I would be lusting after. By the time they release anything it will be outdated and overpriced.

Head on pillow, close eyes, and relax breathing.

I don't know how I'll sleep either..I wonder what minute changes the new iPhone will sport.

The size will be slightly bigger, the screen will be the same size, and it will be $50 more expensive.

I bought my Droid for what it was when purchased. It was the first real smartphone on Verizon (I lived with a Razr and an iPod touch until it arrived) and even with the pending N1 being released on Verizon, it is still one of the more quality phones out there. What Apple does (as long as they are with AT&T) doesn't even have the slightest concern of mine and neither does anything else that won't be out on Big Red's network. There are those of us who still believe a phone (smartphone or not) should have reliable voice calling. And its not on AT&T or Sprint from my experiences with them.

And they will sell a bazillion of them. Making it the better phone, obviously.

Well duh, it's newer so all the older models need to be eBayed off or handed down to a sibling/friend to get the newest one.

Wait, then what happens once Apple sells their 6.5 billionth iPhone!? There won't be anyone left in the world to hand down the older models to!!!

Make more babies.

 

[stevonyc34]

i wonder what the 2nd gen droid will look like? hope it has a better physical keyboard and swype built in.

 

[shadowdude777]

Make more babies.

But I think the number of iPhones in the world are increasing at a faster rate than the number of people!

 

[QrafTee]

Make more babies.

Either that or the older ones "expire" or "no longer supported." I'm sure Apple will think of a way to make it happen. I mean it's Apple after all.

I like their rates... I just wish Verizon would follow the same plans, but there are no external pressures to force them to.

 

[radikal]

theres and android tablet called the adam something but its sweet, better than ipad in most ways and from what i hear, likely cheaper.

I completely agree. I used to have "iPhone Envy" every time I played with a friend/relatives. Then I would remember when I try to call friend/relative, the call almost always drops (and I live in Socal...should be fine here right?)...

As for Sony, I wouldn't want a "PSP Phone". Just like iPhone, and Windows Mobile 7 Series or whatever the hell it's called, it will be locked down, and I would no longer have the freedom I am now attached to with my Droid...
