It's funny how I hear the "droid will just come out with a better ____________ "

It's called technology, it always advances, Apple will eventually trump them then they will update, then Apple will update blah blah blah. I'll be pre-ordering the iPhone, I really could care less about the droid, it doesn't integrate with everything else I already use as seamless. I'm behind a Mac for 60+ hours a week probably for work so personally, for me it's a no brainer.

Apple originally went to Verizon, but Verizon didn't want to cut the deal.

Why not T-mo? Seems easier to go to another GSM carrier vs a CDMA one. Pretty much every other place in the world uses GSM exclusively.

I don't think T Mobile has the infrastructure to handle the iPhone, let alone the huge influx of new users. AT&T is much bigger and still struggles in densely populated areas (New York) because of the number of users.

Apple went to Verizon b/c it was the largest and "best", and Verizon wanted full control over what runs on the iPhone so it could cahrge for Bluetooth capability, $3 for an mp3 song or $2 for a ringtone like it had always done. Apple said no and moved on to the next best carrier, and AT&T said Apple could control content. AT&T spent the next three years gaining huge numbers of new users in the high-profit smartphone market while Verizon watched.

Three years later, Verizon dropped millions to launch the Droid, to lukewarm sales. Even among the Android OS phones there were better choices.
