Hate to admit but iPhone still best over Android and BlackBerry :(

No actually my point has been refuting the OP stating the iphone is the best.

You can't as that is preference. Kinda like how JD powers has a car of the year award in every damn category known to mankind. What is best for you in a smartphone isn't going to be the best for someone else.

Actually you can when it's a general sweeping statement. When it's phrased as "best for me" then that's a different story.

semantics semantics semantics. Now you're just arguing for the sake of it. I should go join general mayhem.

The fact of the matter is that you don't know much about the iPhone it seems. I mean you did think it was the same exact size as the TP2 It really seems like all your arguments are based off what you can parrot about it. I'm not saying the iPhone is greatest phone ever, but it works, is reliable, easy to use, has a plethora of functions that it serves, none of which the BB could. maybe it is just verizon's coverage in the area or the amount to which they neutered their phones but at this moment I can easily say that of the 5 or so smartphones I've been around the iPhone is easily one of the best if not the best.

I realize that 5 smartphones do not make me an expert by any means. However after reading the plethora of remarks on this forum and how many people "hate" the iPhone yet return to time after time while vocally waiting for the next iPhone killer to arrive tells me that many people also agree that it is one of the better phones for them.

Blackberry > ALL as a communications device.

For apps, games, videos.. I have a PC.

There's a reason WinMo and BB absolutely dominate the corporate world. Does WinMo suck? Absolutely it does. But it's incredibly functional and flexible.

Go read that Engadget article for someone attempting to use an iPhone to "actually get shit done."

WinMo does not dominate anything. The adoption rates are horrible and always have been. Blackberry dominates corporate networks, with Apple gaining.

It's not semantics, it's generalization which is generally inaccurate. And I'm sorry to say the TP2 is a brick and the iphone isn't is just ridiculous, they are roughly the same size per the link I used. To say otherwise, THAT's semantics. Look I'm glad that the iphone just entered a whole new era of being able to multitask and use MMS, and whatever else other devices have been doing for like four years. You HAVE to jailbreak it and the others do it without being unlocked, but hey at least you can now. What about security, how's the iphone on that front? Last I heard it was still terrible. There are still plenty of cons like all other devices. I too have said the iphone is a fine device. But it's nowhere near "the best" when you lay all the cards out on the table. All the cards.

ehh, the iphone is a 07-08 year device, the appstore is flooded with multiple apps that do the same thing now, its really hard to find good apps. when people ask if they should get an iphone or xxxx phone, people say get the iphone because of the appstore. I don't think thats a valid reason anymore, android market is mature and has plenty of apps.. *quality over quantity*. UI and app stores are what the iphone had going for it. I believe android has caught up and both platforms are equal these days. I don't think anyone can say one is better than the other, its a debatable topic and thats a fact, that wasn't the case last year though, there wasn't anything close to an iphone.

I've been an iphone user for almost two years, and I have my first android device on the way, the iphone doesn't meet my expectations anymore.

Well I just picked up the Droid this morning. OP, your fact-less arguments/ speculations against the Droid are frivolous at best. I'll give you 4 reasons why the Droid is a better device.

1. Verizon Network - Runs circles around AT&T
2. Google Maps - By far the best navigator to date
3. Physical Keyboard - Never been a huge fan of touch keyboards for texting...though this touch screen is amazing.
4. 5 MP camera - Very crisp pictures and absolutely AMAZING video recording quality.


Lets also not forget about droid app market which has more than what I need.

And now that Android is on Verizon this market will explode.

Lackluster launch for the droid. Looks like just another wanna-be iphone that fizzles out at the end of the day.

This story tells a totally opposite story...

Another one. In your article it said the guy checked and it seemed like they were "running low". The iphone has a line 4 hours long with each phone sold before 10 minutes past opening at every store when a new one comes out.

I doubt it. android games from what I've seen don't come close to the quality of appstore's. I didn't mention games in my earlier post because its not essential to a phone, at least for me. any games I play on a mobile device are a joke, even the games on my iphone, while there are decent ones. a mobile game is a mobile game, its just to play while your waiting for something. and both platforms have that.

No one has mentioned the fact that you cant access data while on the phone with a droid.

To again clarify, the iphone does multitask first party apps. Its only 3rd party that dont multitask.

So if Im on a phone call, and need to look something up on the internet, or look up something on maps, I can do so easily. And yes, that is a very useful and very important function.

The droid can not acess data while on a call. So the most useful function of being able to multitask is not possible.
