We have an iPhone, Droid (and Blackberry) in our house. Droid's issues stem from the Moto handset more than the OS or apps. I like your analogy though and given our current 3 week side by side demo, the iPhone wins because, like its Apple heritage, it "just works" and the design (physical, UI, UX, etc) is so sweet. That makes is a lot easier to ignore the only downside (i.e. crappy AT&T coverage). Well. We have an iPhone, Droid (and Blackberry) in our house.

Verizon's claim to fame, which it shoves in AT&T's face regularly is how poorly the at&t network is serving those iphone customers - we'll see if verizon can do any better with a powerful smartphone on their system. thanks Randall. good points – and i couldn’t agree more about at&t service in NYC – it will really be interesting once the Droid reaches some critical mass on Verizon, to see how it affects the verizon network (or if it does).

I've drunk the Kool-Aid. It is the device I want to use. I used other phone and PDA's for years without complaint. With that admission I have to say that having a phone and hand held computer that does everything I want it to do, always works well - except for those damned dropped calls in NYC - why open Pandora's box with the lowest common denominator. Apple has it's limitations, but I also spend hundreds of dollars a year on software to protect my PC's that I don't spend on my Macs. Really don't want to have to worry about my mobile device. I think there is a good possibility that that will be a "PC Versus Mac" thing when it comes to Android and the iPhone and unless I see that the Android works as flawlessly as my iPhone and offers me all that I want with ease - no way I'll even think of changing - yet. Android must prove that it is superior in every way. Every product that has tried and failed to compete with the iPhone has been wonky and not be what the manufacturer promised it would be.

In our house we have an Iphone and a Droid. We love them both. So far, the Droid is actually faster than the Iphone. However, I think that the controls for the Iphone are a tad more smooth. User friendly. BUT the Droid is by no stretch of the imagination difficult. I think the Iphone will always be a better seller because, Like Starbucks, people will pay for the name recognition. People get a boost from walking around with the green and white Starbucks cups versus 7-11 cups (which by the way has superior flavor), just as they would rather bust out their Iphone (ooh, is that an Iphone) versus their Droid. Just my thoughts. Interesting points here. In our house we have an Iphone and a Droid. We love them both. So far, the Droid is actually faster than the Iphone.
