Post First Post, hopefully it helps

Hello all, I have been lurking for months here but have been unable to contribute. However, I have some experience now with both the droid and the TP2. Hopefully some of it helps:
  • Droid has much faster web browser than Touch Pro 2
  • Droid is MUCH faster in general than the TP2
  • Droid has a much better application store (though you pay for each app), though, of course it is way easier to get apps on TP2
  • Droid has a slightly better camera, and has a flash, which Touch Pro does not
  • Droid is slightly smaller and weighs slightly less than the Touch Pro 2
  • Droid's capacitive touch screen is definitely more responsive than the HTC, however the virtual keyboard is even more picky than the TP2 about hitting keys exactly in the center.
  • The resolution/picture quality is equal on the two devices
  • I already found some bugs in the Droid , had problems getting Exchange calendar working and there are a few other complaints floating around about Droid Bugs.
  • HTC Touch Pro 2 has a way better physical keyboard than the droid. There is no comparison on just how much better the HTC's physical keyboard is than the droids.
  • Exchange integration is better in the HTC Touch Pro 2, for instance, in Droid, if you get a calendar request, you can only accept it or deny it from the calendar, where with HTC you can accept right from the email.
  • Touch Pro 2 is a world phone, Droid is USA CDMA only
  • From a business perspective, I think the HTC Touch Pro 2 has a better home/navigation system with displaying calendars/contacts/weather/etc.
  • Droid does not allow you to set up signatures in emails, like "sent from my mobile phone" unless you are running Exchange Server 2007 with server side support
  • Droid requires you use gmail or at least have a gmail account to access some of its features (HTC does not)
  • Droid does not support Excel XLS and Adobe PDF natively, you have to purchase a seperate app (cheap) for them.
Hope that helps.
