Verizon's Challenge To the iPhone Confirmed
misnohmer writes "Verizon has just launched a new set of ads confirming the rumors of its upcoming iPhone competitor: 'Unlike previous Android phones, the Droid is rumored to be powered by the TI OMAP3430, the same core that the iPhone and Palm Pre use, and which significantly outperforms Qualcomm 528MHz ARM11-based Android phones that exist today. Droid will also be running v.2.0 of Android, with a significantly upgraded user interface. The Droid poses a different and more significant challenge to the iPhone than any other phone to date. The Palm Pre could have been that challenger, but it lacked the Verizon network, and users were unimpressed with the hardware. According to people who've handled the device, the Droid is the most sophisticated mobile device to hit the market to date from a hardware standpoint. When you combine that with the Verizon network, you've got something that is most definitely a challenger to the Jesus phone.'"
A good ad would better emphasize the competition to the "Jesus Phone" idea.
They should call it the "Muhammad phone."

My wife would not tolerate such slack goofing off.

All 100,000?
I'm curious to know what it was you were looking for that didn't exist.
Google Voice
Buddha phone? It lives in harmony with everything but has a certain self-righteousness to it that turns other phones off?
Just what everyone needs, a backwards phone that is nearly a thousand years behind the times and if you do anything it doesn't like it will blow up.
so whats your problem - if you want to enjoy the best phone that technology has to offer then you need to stay out of large metropolitan areas. simple.
As opposed to a backwards phone that is nearly two thousand years behind the times and even if it does everything right, you'll kill it?
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
> I still think that the iphone looks ubsurd...
No. It's from Apple. No need to look at it to know that it looks cool. It's cool by definition.

And, I've got a dog that barks while he chases cars.
But, I don't think for all his barking he will become a Lexus.
