Hence the statement"specs mean nothing to me if the phone doesn't do what (I) want." I want multitasking,im sure the iphone will slow down if it did this just like other multi-tasking phones.Great phone though, it excels at what it was created for- entertainment, not productivity and in my opinion, to be productive you must be able to do more than one thing at a time.
Cute, but you're wrong.

"Expandable memory makes a phone's storage capacity virtually unlimited." I can tell you the limit, it's 32GB.

And I'm talking about the Motorola Droid. If it has the galls to team up with Verizon and produce a TV ad that directly attacks the iPhone, it better outperform it from the bottom up in all aspects. Sorry to burst your Android bubble--I would love the iPhone to be taken down--it just doesn't have the hardware to back it up. I was really hoping for it to at least have on par CPU/GPU. It lacked BOTH; and what dedicated GPU? Where?

Even on attack of the show (which was a source you quoted) they mentioned that it was one of the fastest phones they had ever tested if not THE fastest. On board memory isnt really an issue either when you have an sd slot. My old vogue only has 150mb internal memory and I always install every app to the phone, not to the card. App installations generally take very little space, my old vogue with only 150mb of on board storage has 76 apps installed and I've only used half of that 150 mb.
That's fine, you can agree with Smoove; this is a forum you don't have to agree with me, I'm just telling you the cold hard facts.

The 50Mhz difference might not matter too much... unless you're multitasking--which is what the Droid does.

Yeah, I saw the AOTS review of the phone (4 out of 5), I've already read many other reviews. They all says it's the fastest Android phone for now and say a lot of things (but how can you trust AOTS when they said that the Droid had no multi-touch when it clearly is able to do that?) That's great if you're just going to compare it to other Androids (practically all of the phones before the Droid have been big let downs with more bark than bite)

Apps are great, but I don't want farting apps, or light saber apps, I want games--which is why I am so let down by the fact that the GPU is inferior. Sure, not all phone users are gamers and the Droid might not be targeting an audience like me; but again if they want to challenge the iPhone, they better bring in the cavalry.

Also I was really hoping the keyboard would be awesome, but about every review site has bashed it and some just saying, "You'll get used to it."

So now I'm stuck with either getting the Motorola Droid, the HTC Touch Pro 2, or just delaying my upgrade and wait for something worthwhile (maybe the Snapdragon Droids?) And again, not an iPhone fanboy--don't even like Apple at all--you still have to give it props for being a beast of a phone. I mean hell if it wasn't why would it be so popular? Steve Jobs? Haha...
