Sounds like an Apple fanboy to me, I love my Droid.


Sounds like a droid fanboy to me.


So far oomkiller has not fabricated "facts" in favor of his argument.


Well, first off, you don't fabricate facts, that would just be lies. You can tell by the title that he set off to write an article about how the droid is bad. Not a comparison, basically just a rant about where it sucks. I'm sure I could just as easily write the same kind of article about the iPhone or definitely the Pre. What makes it even worse is that many of the issues stated in this article are nonexistent at best. First, the YouTube HD issue, no problems here. Then, the build quality issue, again, no problems here. Feel free to review my other comments for my quick review of the Droid.


FWIW, my comment is meant to be positive towards you and negative towards Scoble. You are not a fanboi because your review doesn't say something like, "I tried viewing my website on the iPhone, but dropped the iPhone and the screen cracked. When I view my site on the Android phone, my screen doesn't crack." Scoble's does.


Haha, Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment :)


What's your experience regarding battery life?


So far, looks pretty good. Yesterday was heavy with browsing and used about half the battery, so I would say that it is as advertised.


No complaints, better than my previous Blackberry Tour (9630)


what's your take on the "battery cover" thing the author mentioned? how much BS did he put in his article there, or could it be true?


Never had an issue with it, the phone seems very sturdy and the battery cover doesn't have any trouble on my unit. Also, the haptic response is amazing, never seen anything like it. The camera IMO is fine for what I need, I'm sure they'll fix the focus issue soon. My only major gripe is the keyboard, it's usable, but the numbers are quite tedious to type in, so I usually revert back to the on-screen keyboard (which is great, especially the prediction) when I need to type a long string of numbers.


I don't see it as in issue. If you are looking for an apparently batteryless device, maybe this is of concern to you. The salesman at the store used two hands to get it off, and I would not have even thought about this without this blog post.
