Default The iPhone killer

for all of you on the fence about getting an Iphone, be glad you didn't.

I cant wait to see this tomorrow. could be the only phone that would replace my BB.

the sky is the limit. read the article about what is already out there.

It'll be nice once other companies use it, but T-mobile? Ugh....

I agree with the article, it's the iPhone's software and OS that makes it great.

Now if they'd only design one that doesn't keep slipping out of my hands. That's my only real complaint about the iPhone. I have to keep it in a case or else the shape and texture makes it too easy to drop.

Android is just an OS. The dream isn't much of a phone.

Yup.. Andriod is open source, so anyone can legally modify it. The possibilities are endless. iPhone is yesterdays news.

And the apps listed on that site are just the beginning. There isn't even a phone out yet..

But I agree. the Dream isn't the greatest. Most of HTC's products actually kind of suck.

Open souce? So farkin' what. Try to use T-M service outside of the ghetto. No contest. The sky is the limit, the reality is dropped call and limited coverage.
