I've heard nothing but good stuff about the Droid. Unless size is an issue, I'd go with that.

I have a Pre on Sprint (not Pre+) and it's amazing, especially with the new update that gives a video camera and (soon) flash.

That said, I've heard a lot of good things about the Droid. Honestly you'll probably be happy with either phone.

The Droid will run the same O.S as the Nexxus when it comes to Verizon right?

^Nexxus runs 2.1 which the droid is supposed to be getting soon... I would hold out for the nexxus if I was in the market right now.

definetly the droid. more applications more freedom on the phone. while the webos is really neat there is only about a 1000 apps, and I wouldnt trust the hardware of the pre plus.

that being said if you are in the clintonville area I work at a verizon store.....:)

You call a phone "amazing" even though it's just now getting basic features? Yawn.

But most are useless. Quality>quantity.

Not saying any phone is better or worse, but I hate the marketing angle on the Droid.

There is definitely some useless..but many useful ones too. I, for one, love my droid far better than the wife's Palm Pre.
