But wait, there's more!!! I expected a reply by now, but since I didn't get it, I'll continue...

Can your iPhone do Flash? The Droid will do Flash after the 2.1 update in February.

Can your iPhone keep track of where your friends are? (Google Latitude).

Can your iPhone load widgets?

Does your iPhone have a real keyboard?

Does your iPhone have a 5MP Camera?

Whew... my fingers are getting tired. I'll have to save the rest for the next few posts. Anywho, you should really try the Droid. It is a much better phone and getting better with each release. Apple will not be able to keep up. This is just the beginning... wait until the Nexus II comes out. You're going to be impressed.

is that it? You have to be kidding me… surely there's more. The Droid is so far advanced compared to the iPhone, I'm surprised anyone is still trying to defend the iPhone. Most of you guys are saying, “wait for the next iPhone.” But you… no, you're different. Kind of like a captain on a sinking ship… It's honorable, but foolish. Ok, so let's start here… The Droid does support communication and browsing at the same time and it also works over wifi. It's simply cdma (the technology Verizon uses) that does not support it. In other words there are Droid users all over the world with that capability. Not that it's all that useful I might add.

Now, your turn. I just got back from Kauai Hawaii and was able to watch 3 movies on the plane. I was able to change the battery, can your iPhoney do that?

I used the (free) turn by turn navigation the entire time I was there… can your iPhoney do that?

I receive my calls via Google Voice… which allows me to record calls, receive email messages, leave personal messages for individual callers… and a lot more… can your iPhoney do that?

I can't remember the last time I dropped a call… no wait. I did have a friend on AT&T and the call dropped when we were talking, but aside from that, I don't recall. Can you say that?

I can go on and on… but surely you can't think that phone you have today has a chance… join the chorus and call for the new iPhone to be better…

yeah i gave your lil droid a spin and, uhhh… oh yeah after several tries like most mobile phones it would not load a “true web page”, this just makes it clear that the iPhone is superior and even with AT&T's so called “spotty” coverage it still kick's some droidA** and oh, guess what? i can surf the web while i'm making a call, can your lil droid do that?

Awesome commercial. For all the iPhone users who don't know much about the Droid… let me tell ya… this phone is badA**!!! I use to have an iPhone and won't even consider going back… especially to AT&T's crappy network. Anywho.. if you have an iPhone, give the Droid a spin… you'll never go back.

This ad is just weird. It is a turnoff for me, and I would suppose that Droid wouldn't want to turn off old women? Maybe they do want to drive us into the IPhone's arms?
