Also, I unlock/jailbreak my iPhone so I could feasibly use any sim card in it and I can change just about any look of it to suit my tastes. Can the Droid do that? - Yes, but better - the phone has already been root-ed. Its just a matter of time before people do whatever they'd like to the phone. With root privilege, you can do just about anything.

My iPhone has a Map feature that gives me directions on point. So I don't see the google feature being that specifically awesome? - True, but it JUST came out with it, right? There are a LOT of features that google maps - live traffic updates in many major areas. Street-view pictures. 3D layers to see the shape/size of your building...stuff like that. All free of course.

I have an app on my iPhone that goes directly to youtube, does the Droid have that? - Yes

Also, I don't use facebook, so that app is wasted on me. But what I can use is Apps that work with my Instant Messaging services, can I still do that with a Droid? - Yes

I love a touchscreen keyboard, and the small dimensions of the iPhone. I myself am not partial to a sliding KB, but for those who weren't at first, have you since grown to like it, or hate it? My thing against it is it sliding open when I don't want it to... And also the tiny buttons, being fat fingered when your trying to type. - It took a little bit, but now Ive used it more, I enjoy it. Could use a LITTLE more "depth", but in such a small package, its understandable

Also, if I remember correctly, Verizon doesnt use sim cards, so the phone is locked to them isnt it? So you can't take it globally, or have they changed that? - Actually I think they do, but they are built in? This is one thing I dont know much about sadly, but I believe it is locked to them. Until someone unlocks it, of course...

Lastly, as I said before, I can unlock my iPhone and make it do whatever I want, can you unlock a Droid? - Yes, the phone has been rooted. It can also be un-rooted, very easily.


Sorry for so many questions, I see the droid, I like the droid... But the iPhone does have some features that make me want to hold onto it. If this 3rd one breaks I'm done with it though. I'll just buy a Droid free lance and if I can unlock it, somehow get it on AT&T's network... if I can?
