I was having trouble getting the barcode is upload to photobucket so I started drinking beer. Max group is 30. If people really want it, I can try again.

I honestly do not mean this as a snide remark, but can you please explain to me why the Droid is so much better? I honestly do not know much about it and would like to "get educated." Thanks

It all comes down to what you are going to use the device for...business or personal use. If you are using it for business purposes, and your company uses the BES, then Blackberry is the best option for you. But for personal use, nothing beats the Android OS. Android is a completely open platform, which means that anyone can create an app for it as long as they know how to write the coding. And most of the applications are free.

On top of that, the Droid has a bigger screen, more responsive touch, faster processor, and more internal memory than the Blackberry.






Oh ya, I should also tell you that I work for Motorola for my day job. So my opinion is slightly skewed. LOL.

Hard to imagine the Droid having a bigger screen than the Storm. If so, I would think it would be too big.

Also, I am skeptical at how meaningful the open apps platform is. It seems to me it is just an invitation to a lot of shitty applications to be made. Blackberry has a TON of apps for just about anything you can think of.

I'll admit I haven't had my hands on a Droid yet, but I do know a couple of people that were hyped over it, then disappointed when they actually used it.

Now with that said, I would have to think the internet is faster. That is my only real complain about my Storm.

The BB browser isn't bad, but it definitely isn't good. That's why I switched to Opera Mini.
