Call it what you want. This ain't some kinda high school melodrama, LOL!! This is business, and money talks. Verizon is the largest cell phone carrier in the USA, which is where Apple is based. Apple would be foolish not to tap into that market of 80 million customers. Apple isn't happy with AT&T anyway, and customers are practically begging Apple to open that phone up to more carriers here in the USA. T-mobile is a small fish, and Sprint is hanging on by a thread, so Verizon is the logical choice.

bruh.... the TP2 is UNDER the Droid... we sell both. Now I like the way the TP2 looks... but performance wise the Droid is on another level....I work with both every day. The TP2 is under the Imagio (the HTC phone that came out at the same time as the TP2).

Verizon didnt punk the phone itself... Verizon punked the NETWORK.... you have to remember Verizon turned down the Iphone before it was ever offered to AT&T..... Apple needs Verizon more than Verizon needs Apple... even after turning down the Iphone, Verizon's profits grew, customer base grew, etc. Apple needs Verizon's network. Why would they want to tap into a smaller market that doesnt have Verizon's network and over 87 million customers.
Now I like the Iphone personally, because I like Apple products period (I own a Imac and Ipod Touch).. but if you put the Iphone on Verizon's network it would take the phone to a different level.
A phone is only as good as its network... I try to tell people that all the time. You can have the "flyest" phone out but if the network is shaky, it does the phone no good... My homeboy who works at Verizon with me has a Gzone (he was in a contract before he got hired)...Now I like the looks of the Gzone over the Droid.... but buddy is SICK right now... He loves the Android platform but after he saw the speed on the Droid, he said it made his phone feel like ish.

I've never used the keypad on my Droid. You can just use the touch.screen. You can't go wrong with any android phone. The Droid has. Retain features the Eris doesn't like voice activated turn by turn through Google maps for free. Getting the HTC would would be like getting a smaller Droid without the keypad and minus some features. If u don't like the keypad you don't havro use it

Gotcha. The guy @ Verizon told me I would want the speed of the Motorola version. I looked @ him, laughed and said, "Chile, I ain't studdin' speed and probably won't use half of the features. Heck - do you see the phone I currently have?" (W315 Motorola) All I need it for it to talk & text. :lol:

That "there's a map for that" commercial was a jab at AT&T, but that "Droid Does" commercial was aimed directly at the iPhone.

People that are excited about the droid must have never used an android device before... there really arent many differences aside from the fact that it has android 2.0... which most other android devices will be upgrading to either by the end of the year or early next year. Personally im not a fan of android at all but to each is his/her own. Plus that phone is ugly as HELL. I'll stick to my TP2 running the HD2 Leo rom right now.

Bro, who are you trying to fool? The TP2 and the Imagio are the same phone. One has a keyboard and the other doesnt. I believe the Imagio also has 6.5 where as the TP2 has 6.1 as an OS. Both these phones are equal with the exception of the Keyboard...
Now, how is it that you feel the Droid is under the HTC Products...

Doc, the HTC Touch Pro 2 is using Windows Mobile?!?! I don't know of anyone that even still looks at Windows Mobile as a legitimate OS anymore. Most companies prefer BlackBerry and their OS. The general public probably prefers the iPhone, Android, Palm OS, and THEN Windows Mobile. As a matter of fact, here's proof of what that.
Get rid of that 4th rate cellphone operating system. :lmao:

Did you even read that report? Esp. the part where it said this report was done before the release of WM 6.5..
You are aware that Verizon sold out of the Touch Pro 2?

No they aren't the same phone. Imagio he mobile TV on it tp2 doesn't. Imagio camera is better also. The reason they sold out is because we didn't make a lot of them. They weren't even sold in stores.

Exactly, They sold out of over 550,000 phones, according to ppcgeeks, via the internet and less than a month. You know most Verizon phones are sold via the Verizon store not online..
Now, to that phone. I am talking on a hardware level not on a software level. Outside of the camera and the keyboard, both phones are the same. Now, the Leo and the HD2 are different phones but those phones are not available in the US currently.
You know the Original Touch and Touch Pro had Mobile TV. It's a CAB download from xda.

I read it. Even the part that said "But even sales of version 6.5 look lackluster."
