Why I am switching to an iPhone:

Yeah...I got it alright! Check out my new phone!

AT&T is shit. The iPhone is BORING (page after page of icons...BLEH!)

It does have awesome apps and games, though.

I totally agree; I picked up my old iPod Touch the other day and it looked and felt like a toy. It weighed nothing and it was just page after page of the same icon...I was immensely bored. I'm guessing Apple is gonna raise the resolution this summer, because it's looking a little long in the tooth.

I just switched from iphone 3G to droid, trust me.. the grass is greener on the other side. I love my droid esspecially with 2.1. Apps like cardio trainer or buddy runner are my best friend, can't live without them. :D

Yeah, if it's the current IPhone against the Droid, IMO the Droid(or any Android 2.1) wins.

But, who knows what the next IPhone that will be Verizon's IPhone will do. It will have to be friggin amazing to change me away from Android.

I just want to point out that while we are all iPhone bashing (a lot in this forum), the 4G (or whatever they'll call it) that will come out this year will be a fantastic device as most of Apple's products are.

I just want to keep it real in saying that Apple has made smart phones in general, immensely popular devices. You gotta recognize a good product for what it is. Is it locked down to tightly...of course. But a stock droid vs. a stock iphone is a much closer call than most people on this forum will admit to. If the iPhone was on Verizon, I would have given it some serious consideration.

But the iPhone 3G...even housebroken (...err..I mean jailbroken) vs. 1.2GHz OC'd Droid running Cyanogen...that's not even fair to Apple! :D

Yeah droid has Google navigation, to me that's worth everything Iphone can offers, so glad i made the switch. plus paying $25 for a droid is definitely no brainer as well. Iphone to me is more like a toys, with those cool games and apps. Iphone still has the best games library around, hands down. but I found myself droid more than iphone. Big part of the reason is the widget, I have weather,news,rss widget that I can just pop up and check stuff. That's really handy in there.

I agreed, Iphone 4th Generation will need to be freaking innovative for me to make the switch. Right now, I am totally satisfy with Droid.

I can't deal with it anymore.

Every day, I look at this and other internet sites, and I keep seeing new phones I want. The Droid is cool, the Eris is sleek, this was controllable.....then it got crazy!

Then I wanted the Nexus 1, but it was quickly surpassed by the HTC Incredible, The Evo coming to Sprint looks amazing, The Sony/Erickson X10 looks beautiful, I want one.

It is all too much, there are too many new phones, each better than the one before it. Wifi tethering? wow!....

Everywhere I look, I see Android doing things never before thought possible on phones, and it is all just too fast.

If I switch to an iPhone, I'll only have to worry about a new phone every couple years, and they will all be the same, and I won't have to deal with all these new features and choices.

Who's with me?

:)

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a fan base!! Your reasoning is seriously clouded, but to each his own.

The STAR TAC

That was a cool phone!

I felt like I was holding the Star TREK communicator, or whatever they called that thing on Star Trek that Captain would 'flip out' and it would made a weird noise.. ..

It was sooo small, and sooo light..

THIS IS A THREAD HIJACKING. EVERYONE REMAIN CALM AND NO ONE WILL BE HURT. Since all the mods and guides are watching porn with UBRocked, and since this thread ISN'T SERIOUS anyway, time for something completely different.

Anyone remember when the cell phone reps came to your office with their 4 phone line up? Installed in your parking lot. Man, you seriously felt like Johnny Got-rocks driving around with the external antenna sticking up like a boner on your ride. Follow me roaming, anyone, anyone? GV invite to the first person who can tell me what that was. :)

I won't ever go to the IPhone as long as it's on ATT(They are the spawn of Satan(but, that's another thread)).

+1!!!! Every time I hear the name AT&T I want to burn something!

Here's the problem, the IPhone is suppose to come to Verizon as early as July. So, if come November when I'm up for discounted upgrade, I have to choose between the latest Android phone and the latest IPhone(on Verizon), that could be a very difficult call.
I've had an iPod touch for years and it was pretty decent as a music player and had some nice apps. I'm not sure I could give up the widgets in Android though. There are just too many cool things you can do with them. And if Google further refines Android in the upcoming releases, why would I want an iPhone that looks just like everyone else's iPhone when I can have something that's me? It is my belief that HTC is going to outpace Apple in the hardware space. After seeing the screen shots of the EVO, its game on for HTC and catch up for Apple. I think you are going to see great things come from HTC as they get better and better focusing on the hardware and sense UI while leaving the OS to Google.
