i agree w/ skat
I just ordered Droid #1 today, I'm pumped to get it on Monday!

My roommate just drove back to Milwaukee from Wyoming and had his laptop tethered the whole way and was playing warcraft....
that's impressive

(didnt work in rural nebraska)

I haven't watched that in a long time.  That is truly an internet classic.

So as a rebuttal to my long-winded post the other day:

2/3 of iPhone users will be fine using the 200MB a month plan
98% of iPhone users will never have an overage using the 2GB/month plan

In reality those limits aren't terrible.  I'd rather the 200MB limit be a 500MB limit, but that's still no biggie.  The tethering is a big deal to me, but I don't know how many others are constantly on the go with a laptop looking to use their phone as a wireles access point.

Sorry for raging on Apple a bit there.  I meant to rage on AT&T exclusively

Do these sound like viable and big enough improvements for iPhone to continue to hold a big time position in the market?

The 35% market share quoted for the Blackberry surprises me though.  I know it's still big in business, but even there I've seen turnovers to iPhones...

Everything that is being announced as I type is blowing all of the current technology out of the water.

Ok so I have basically very limited "tech knowledge" compared to most of you it sounds, so just asking since I currently have Sprint, what is Sprint's equivalent to droid/iphone, is there one?

Sprint, yuck.

Their 4G is apparently going to be nice though...?

Truth.  A great upgrade for an already good consumer device.

The FaceTime (video chat) capabilities are interesting.  The HD video capture is cool.  The new gyroscope will continue to push mobile devices into the realm of gaming platforms/controllers.

The only thing that I'd be concerned about is the combination of the HD video capturing and the newly imposed data transfer caps by AT&T.  It will take very little video to hit a 200MB transfer cap if you want to put your videos on the Internet and you're not in range of WiFi or able to connect your computer to your laptop.

Regarding Blackberry's marketshare:  Blackberry is still the heavy favorite for corporate use.  Blackberry Exchange Server has a reputation for being faster and more secure than iPhone's ActiveSync.  In reality the Windows Mobile Exchange is better than both, but for some reason WIndows phones never really took over at corporations.  For better or for worse, that's how it is.

Actually, you can get the most powerful phone on the market - the HTC Evo Droid.

Interesting.  You guys may laugh at Sprint, but I have never once had a problem with getting service, and have been able to enable international calling when overseas very easily and quite inexpensively.  Plus they offer a nice set of plans.

I laugh at Sprint because everyone I know that has it or used to have it, had reception problems all the time.

[Strokin 3s]

Interesting and maybe that is true, but there have been many instances where I have been the only one that has gotten service and all my buddies are sitting there with their iPhones completely incapable of actually using them.

Anyone have any experience with the HTC EVO™ 4G?

A decent article discussing iPhone v. Droid now that iPhone 4.0 has been revealed...

Who's in for the iPhone 4 and why?
