Oh, I hope it does!

I hope the new Droid phone is everything the iPhone is and isn’t. Everything it is because I was just at an Apple store yesterday and the iPhone is awesome and of course, I want one. And everything it isn’t because it will be available from Verizon so I can actually get one. And since I’m using a BlackBerry on Verizon’s Network, I’m pretty excited about the chance to try out a new phone without having to switch carriers.

iDon’t Believe the Hype

Verizon’s newest smartphone, scheduled for a November release according to the television commercials, is hyped up to be the latest attempt by multiple manufacturers to be labled an “iPhone Killer”. Well, it’ll have to be pretty good. It’s rumored that it will have a 5 megapixel camera with flash, video, GPS directions, full QWERTY keyboard, speech recognition, replacement batteries, run multiple apps, music, “The Network” and 10,000+ Apps. That’s a pretty good start.

Watch the commerical to see if it gets you as excited about the upcoming holiday season as it does me.

There’s a Map for That

Since we’re talking about Verizon vs. Apple, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the other latest commercial from Verizon attacking Apple. Instead of “there’s an App for That” from Apple, Verizon is touting it’s excellent coverage under “There’s a Map for That” coverage. A direct blow from one major network to the other. Enjoy!
