My iPhone contract is up in June, but I have a Verizon phone number for my wi-fi laptop device. AT&T won't let me upgrade to the iPhone 3Gs until December, and I'm thinking, this would be fitting penalty for being greedy. Had I been able to upgrade to the 3Gs when it came out, I wouldn't even be thinking about the Droid.
There are millions of people in my category, who got their iPhones when they first came out, in June, 2007. I wonder how many will say goodbye to AT&T and it's mediocre 3G network, and switch to the Droid?
What about the rest of my AT&T contract? I'd switch it to a wireless card, which is $60 a month less than my iPhone bill, and swap my Verizon card for the Droid.
The only problem: I like my iPhone, and it has iTunes. Who wants a phone without iTunes? The days of having to carry both an iPod and a phone are so last year. But, the Droid has a 3.7-inch, 854-by-480 pixel display which is way bigger than the iPhone's 3.5-inch, 480-by-320 pixel display, and that means less scrolling when viewing websites. From the Gizmodo review:
The 3.7-inch display, packed with pixels, looks simply amazing. Text is ridiculously crisp, thanks to a 854x480 resolution that makes for 267ppi. Seriously, looking at my inbox is kinda making me drool. (The iPhone is 163ppi.) Besides clarity, touch response seems dead on. The keyboard works way better than it looks. It appears flat, but there's a slight bump to every key that, combined with the soft rubber texture, just works. It's way better than the Palm Pre keyboard.
So, Droid or iPhone, or are you sticking with your blackberry?
