Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 be…

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.

And another thing (just got back from downtown having my wife drive so i could "navigate")--he does not mention the turn-by-turn navigation provided by the android, out of the box, no charge. Or the separate but related functionality of plotting your route on google maps and have it pinpoint your location within 6 meters (maybe better).

Oh, and the surprise at the end of the journey when doing the navigation by home is that it showed a street view of my home as we turned into the driveway. I did not expect that.

I don't know, but don't think the iPhone has that for free, but I could be mistaken.

Platforms, Networks, Features, Capabiliites....etc..AT&T Network is much better then Verizon has mis-represented it to be. None of the fore mention things matters to the VAST majority of wireless phone end users. The VAST Majority of end users want a very friendly, easy to use and adoptable wireless phone solution. That's it period. The minority of geeks out there can buy Droids and AT&T will continue to ownthe VAST majority of the consumer market with the PROVEN Success of the iphone.. End of Story
