iPhone to Droid.. Hmm..Take the plunge?:D

[PhoneI]

I agree with most of your comments, but IMHO the iPhone is much more polished which results in efficiency for me.

I did want to point out that there are some great forums for the Droid, Droidforums.net. As it turns out, apparently there is a film (oil,...) that the Droid seems to com with from the factory. Once this is cleared, the camera works much better. You can search and read about this on the Droid forums.

I don't care what you read, the camera on my droid is awful compared to the one on my iPhone.

Each day I spend with the droid, I really appreciate just how great the iPhone is.

I am having a very difficult time getting over the lack of pinch, swipe, etc that the iPhone has. Apple was genius in patenting their touch technology, and it's a shame that all other companies will not be able to use it for years.

Apple didn't patent anything critical. Just some scrolling code.

Best guess is that Apple and Google had some kind of agreement over Android not using pinch gestures. Which is odd, since other phone prototypes showed pinch before the iPhone.

Camera - Duh... Droid camera sucks, like everyone else says, iphone much better even though I have the 3G which is only 2MP.

Surprised no one seems to have noted the Droid camera autofocus bug yet. Suddenly its camera started working much better the other day, and no one could figure out why. Here's the dope:

"There's a rounding-error bug in the camera driver's autofocus routine (which uses a timestamp) that causes autofocus to behave poorly on a 24.5-day cycle. That is, it'll work for 24.5 days, then have poor performance for 24.5 days, then work again."

The "works correctly" cycle started earlier this week, and that a permanent fix is in the works.

The only reason I'd switch to Droid is because of AT&T's horrid coverage.

Is there any chance that the Droid will push Apple to do some new things?

Nothing really has, to this point in time...
