I've played with it numerous times at verizon stores. im going crazy.

Hahaha!!

There are some really cool video on youtube. Search for "unboxing droid"
and also "droid and Iphone comparisons. " I was online all day yesterday and found the greatest, most informative videos on utube (way more in depth that CNET's reviews). It'll give you a headstart on what to expect.

That's a great phone/device. I looked into it some more over the WE. I have an incentive to get one with TMobile at a somewhat discounted rate and cheaper plan. I like a phone that has a good call quality and battery life, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg

. The only thing I'm not sure about is how long am I gonna be happy with such a small screen, though. Also, the BB is not a strong internet surfer.

I looked into it. It is coming to Verizon in March of this year in CDMA version (or hybrid? that would be cool)

Rumors have it that Apple might come out with a better iPhone this year (to keep up with the Droid

) . If that's true, there should be an announcement in a couple of days.

For those of you who are interested, here is a pretty good iPhone v. Nexus One comparison

Blackberry Storm, but looking into the Motorola Droid.

JumpmanYaris · 01-25-2010, 02:38 PM

I have a Samsung Instinct and a Hero htc

*tomato* · 01-25-2010, 02:56 PM

The Hero has some really good reviews. Do you like it?

It's on my list. It's not at the top of my list because Spring coverage is kind of spotty in my area, but it looks like a really cool phone

JumpmanYaris · 01-25-2010, 03:14 PM

I like it I have had Sprint for 9 years never had a problem. I originaly signed up in PuertoRico when I lived there and still got my 787 area code on both of my phones. using it up in the US. no problems 2, as to coverage it gets an A from me and phones A as well

As I said a while back, I got a HTC Sprint Hero for Christmas and love it! My old phone looked like it came from the 1980s, so it took a week or so for me to adjust; but now I absolutely can't live without it!

How long does the battery last you approx., do you know?

Yeah, I'm really impressed, it does A LOT.

I'm going to go have a close look at it tonight.

JumpmanYaris · 01-26-2010, 08:48 PM

It is pretty sweet its reminds me of the iphone

*tomato* · 01-25-2010, 09:32 PM

coverage for any carrier depends on location, and out here in SF, it varies literally block by block

Samsung Eternity

*tomato* · 01-26-2010, 01:07 PM

nice lines ^

JumpmanYaris · 01-26-2010, 05:49 PM

Well i been many places and both of the phones worked with out a problem so maybe the service provider suck OR the the type of phone in use there

*tomato* · 01-26-2010, 06:20 PM

no, it's the geography that s.cks here. SF alone has 43 hills. Sometimes you get coverage on one side of the street but not on the other, I'm not making it up, but that's all 4 carriers.

I like the HTC Hero A LOT, though. It's a great phone.

Verizon has the best coverage here but it's also the most expensive.

*tomato* · 01-26-2010, 09:17 PM

Right now the HTC Hero is one of only 2 or 3 phones out there that can do pinch zoom (multitouch). Kudos !

I can multitouch on my G1/Dream

MadMax · 01-26-2010, 09:28 PM

Honestly, I don't know about the battery life because I keep mine charging most of the time. But during the few times I didn't, it depended on how much I surfed the 'Net or used the GPS (two battery-draining capabilities).

And the pinch-zoom is really an excellent feature, especially for old guys like myself. It really is an exceptional phone, and now I wonder how I ever lived without one...

Cheers! M2
