I haven't seen one yet, but 2 guys at work picked up the T-Mobile My Touch which uses the same Google software to run it. I have an iphone and was impressed by the Google software, it was intuitive and the T-Mobile network was actually pretty fast for surfing the Internet.

I know it's a different phone but I think the Android software is the same. Android 2.0

I'm looking to get the HTC Hero with Google from Sprint in February. Android 2.0 will be out by then and the reviews are really good. I've played with the phone at the Sprint shpo several times..... I love it.

I picked up a pair for myself and my wife.

It's awesome!!!

The other day, I used the GPS, with traffic alerts, while listening to Pandora Web music, which all paused when I got a phone call.

My buddy with the Iphone and the small map is looking a little bitter lately. 😉

Oh, I have the Motorola Droids because a techy at work told me the extra processing speed was worth the extra $$$.

Yeah, being able to run 2 apps at the same time is something the iPhone is lacking unless you jailbreak it and install an app called Backgrounder.

The biggest problem with these smartphones is the battery life. I have to charge mine every day. My old flip phone would go a week before recharging the battery.

You can even download porn on the Droids.

If you guys have any Droid tips, pass them along. I'm still exploring what this thing can do.

Read the article Ed.

I think it's the adult apps that they are actually talking about.

I own neither an iPhone nor a DROID and I use my phone primarially as *gasp* a phone and some minimal texting, so I really don't give a **** either way. Web browsing on a 2"x3" screen is of zero interest to me.

I love my Droid!

I've always been a blackberry user until now. No comparison, I will never go back!
