Android is taking over especially now that Verizon will have 3 or 4 different models by the end of the year. Once flash is available it's game over. This has been the biggest missing browser feature and I have been waiting a long time for this. Android will gain a huge advantage over the iPhone now that they won't have flash support. Both browsers are based on the same webkit browser...so once again, apple chooses to doom themselves.

I know SO many people that left verizon solely because they wanted and iPhone, and verizon had nothing like it. Even though verizon has a really good shot at getting the iphone once the at&t exclusive runs out, it's almost a moot point now. That being said, god help the other wireless companies if verizon does pick up the iphone. Android + iPhone + best network = dominance.

Full flash internet browsing on our mobile phones is a huge step up, at least to me it is . I love everything about my Droid, the ONLY thing I really miss from WM so far is the ability to surf the web with flash using Skyfire, but I made the jump with the knowledge that we should have flash soon .

Yeah, but its a double edged sword, with the new video formats and websites available from flash players/websites, comes all those pesky ram intensive flash adds. Hopefuly fenic is done by this time, I loved their add blocking support on my old Touch Pro (too bad it was in alpha for ever...)

The lack of flash support on the iPhone is downplayed by saying flash is buggy and just plain crap. That doesn't change the fact that the whole internet uses it...
IMO Verizon doesn't need the iPhone. The android os can be as brainless as the iPhone and as customizeable as one could wish. Time will tell but from my vantagepoint iPhone sales are going to suffer unless apple can catch a more reliable network...and then a side by side comparison may hurt the iphone more then do it any good. I mean from a hardware perspective the I phone is already at a disadvantage and the rest is mostly preferance.

Little bit of iphone rage aye?

They should just make a booth where you can go at a iphone 1st gen in a Plexiglas room for an hr for 50$.

I also think the Droid is going to do very well against the iPhone. I think one point that needs to be considered is that the Droid is brand new and the iPhone is in it's 3rd generation of tweaks and refinements. It looks like the Droid is building enough of a fan base to end up being a "legacy" phone meaning that we will most likely see a "Droid2" etc.. This first gen Droid is already going head to head with the third gen iPhone3GS and it's only going to get better. Developer support for Adnroid is spreading like wildfire, and many iPhone developers are starting to play both sides by making thier iPhone apps available on Android as well as many that are leaving iPhone completely to develop for Android. As much as I love my 2 week old Droid, I'm already anxious for the Droid2 .

so with adobe coming out with flash and the multitouch pinch-zoom should make the droid a contender against any other for first place (iphone included)

The Dolphin web browser now uses pinch to zoom as well , you should check it out.

No rage, just tired of apple kool aid.
