Need some help.. Mytouch Vs Droid

personally i would stay away from the droid and verizon. the only thing that would make it worth getting is if 1. it wasnt made by motorola & 2. it wasnt on verizon. I would root the mytouch but that isnt and option for you or hold out a little longer and see what is up for grabs first quarter of next year. The G1 is still a better phone IMO than any other device out now but i wouldnt spend that much on a device with what's upcoming

 

if Verizon had the best service where I live then I would go with them. it just sucks to have to settle with a company because of that...especially if the service is over-priced. if i were to go with Verizon again i personally would pick up the eris but it lacks the hard keyboard you are looking for. the problem i have with Verizon is personal and everyone has their own experiences. i was with them for ten years and watched them get worse and worse as they got bigger. and they just raised their etf for "advanced" devices which the FCC is looking into now but will probably not do anything about it.

I work with a few people that picked up the droid but have recently returned for the eris mainly because of loose screens and battery covers. I have seen some posts about fixes for these issues but I think it's wrong to charge that much for something and the consumer has to make their own fixes out of the box.

 

Nice choice...I love my Droid...There is a bit of lag (especially when typing in Forums), but it's much quicker than the Eris (I got that first and traded it)...

To those who talk about paying more for Verizon, I guess you just pay for what you get...In Southern California, Verizon is hands down the best. VERY few if any dropped calls, while my friends on Sprint, Tmobile and ATT all drop calls consistently...I'll gladly pay a higher price to have reliable service.
