Verizon Wireless Cell Phone News, Views and Reviews

I have yet to decide how I feel about the iPhone coming to join the line-up over at Verizon. I know how I feel about Verizon, I think that's pretty obvious. I wouldn't use any other carrier...if you paid me! I know how I feel about Android devices and for that reason alone I tend to think that we no longer need the iPhone but the truth is, if the iPhone does come to Verizon in January or later for that matter, masses of iPhone devotees will jump ship and come to the largest and most reliable  wireless voice and 3G network and join the 92.8 million strong to make it 192.8 million strong.

The truth is, sure we do, all the people who refuse to give up their iPhones, (can't say I blame them, I am a long-time Apple fan and it is a great device) will make the switch to a network where the thing will actually work and then Verizon will be 192.8 million customers strong.

Either way, it's not here yet and the Droid X will be in a matter of days so lets talk about it and the run it's going to give the iPhone 4 for its money. The hype over iPhone4 vs. Droid X has outed some ads and video spoofs on TV. Note in the below ad the antenna dig referring to the iPhone 4 issue with blocking the antenna with a normal hold... 

I know, it's kind of small, here's what it says...“Most importantly, it comes with a double antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make crystal clear calls. You have a voice. And you deserve to be heard.”      The boldface is a nice touch! If you are unfamiliar with the iPhone 4 antenna issue, you can't hold the phone in your left hand and hold it to your left ear without experiencing dropped calls (well, more than usual) because that blocks the antenna. Oops.

Next is a YouTube of a skit on Letterman poking fun at the iPhone4. Sorry about the quality, it's kind of shakey. The best part is the tagline at the end. I also noticed it was posted by a Droid! The battle rages on!
There are plenty more funny spoofs where that came from over on YouTube. Some maybe borderline inappropriate so I'll let you decide if you want to pop over or not.

Anyway, here are some of the features the Droid X has over the iPhone4.

The key factor here is the fourth feature down. That in itself is reason to buy the Droid X!

Verizon and Droid X have my vote. What are you thinking?
