I’m not sure how many of you who read this keep up with the newest phones, but I’m sure 90% of you know I’ve been a fan of the iPhone every since I bought a first gen iPod Touch then found out I could unlock the iPhone 2G for use with T-Mobile. And all the new phones have always looked pretty sweet, the Palm Pre, The T-Mobile G1 and now the Motorola Droid, but what would be my favorite to mess around with and use for a phone? For awhile its been the iPhone, I absolutely love it, it has thousands of applications, it has a great user base for hacking, and its powerful, but with the recent release of the droid my mind is starting to change. You see I am growing tired of Apples limitations, the fact that the iPhone has so much untapped potential because Apple does not allow it to be used the way WE want to use it. They don’t allow Flash, isn’t that the users decision to allow 3rd party software? How about how they run the App Store? They denied Google’s Google Voice app a few months ago which caused a HUGE problem and even got the FCC involved, well this new phone gives me some hope. After reading reviews about it and checking out the specs it looks like a really awesome phone, and running the Google Android OS is even more of a plus! So for now I’m sticking with my iPhone 3G (partly because the Droid can not be unlocked….yet). What do you think of it? What is your favorite phone?
