The "rooting" explanation is over my head right now. I gotta try to figure out the basics first.  Ultimately, I'm probably going to decide according to a combination of factors: cost to own, how it feels in the hand, call quality, design, speed Right now I'm shopping for plans, as well, so this might limit my choice somewhat. The Google Nexus phone is unlocked, and that's a strong point for me. I f'ing hate contracts. |

If anyone is interested in the Google One, please note that right now, it only works on 3G on Tmobile, and on AT&T's Edge network. A Nexus One for Verizon is coming out in March, so we'll see if they decide to manufacture a CDMA only phone/ I was thinking if they come up with a phone that works on *any* network, then I would consider it, even with a virtual keyboard. But also keep in mind that not all carriers offer plans if you bring in your own phone. Sprint apparently doesn't (I asked). shopping for plans is almost as complicated as shopping for the phone itself

I currently use a BB Curve 8350i for work, on a Nextel network. I love the phone but hate the network. For my personal use I have the Env Touch on Verizon, I actually looked at the iphone in the store and did not like the interface or the missing multitask ability, that I have on both of my phones. Plus its on AT&T's network which I hear nothing but complaints from people I know. My father always has call quality issues and call drops all the time (in NYC). My one friend that I know owns an iphone has gone through 4, cause they just stopped working(wasnt covered btw) and also complains of call quality. I actually tried the Droid in the Verizon store and was pretty impressed with it, I would have gotten that, if it wasnt for the additional data plan cost.

I'm with you. I played with that Moto-Droid in the stores a bit, though, and that thing is FAST!! But like you, I left the store without the phone when they told me how much more my plan would cost. People complain about AT&T here too. I read somewhere that San Francisco, New York and a couple of other large cities are really bad because those are the places where the iPod is really popular.

^Nextel is an alright network, but it there coverage seems to be really spotty in my state. They actually had to install an interior network just to get our coverage decent cause before in our building there would be constant drop calls or youd have to go to the edge of the building for the person to hear you. I actually was pretty impressed with Verizons network when we went on the metro down to DC, and my phone had full coverage on the entire trip, including underground, and my nextel had zip. A few other people I saw with Iphones also had none. These are my personal experience though.
