    I like what I'm seeing, and if the price is right, and the battery life doesn't suck I'll buy it.

    I have absolutely no interest in this piece of crap, but I figured since I started this thread I might as well post the specs.

    when this comes out I'll take a look at it.

    Until there is a good app store competitor I think apple will stay on top.

    Have a link by any chance? According to this article, Nintendo is losing marketshare, but still is doing pretty well relatively speaking:

    ... this phone isn't sexy at all, it looks like a freakin' pop tart! I can imagine myself smooth-talking a girl, slowly and sensually seducing her with the art of fine words, my cell rings, and oh, I have to take a call on my Pillsbury's Apple Strudel.

    I think this is a pretty sweet looking phone. I have an iPhone 3G and have no intention of changing from the iPhone, but this is healthy competition. I think the design is pretty sleek, looks like a good screen and keyboard, and Android is far from a bad mobile OS. With Motorola I would be concerned about lasting build quality and battery life, but those will come out later. I hope the phone is successful and pushes Apple to add new features to their future iPhones.

    Yes. PS3 outsold Wii...by a whopping ~25,000 amount :rolleyes:

    So they barely outsold Wii after the PS3 price drop...and the NPD sales figures were for September. The Wii price drop didn't happen nationwide until the very last days of that month and probably won't be reflected until this month's sales figures come out.

    It'll be back to "normal" soon.

    As for PS3 vs. 360:

    360 also experienced an uptick in sales compared to the month before, and MS still has ~7 million unit lead on Sony. We have to face facts: Sony shot themselves in the foot this gen with PS3. They are not going to win the race, or even 2nd place with the way things are going. I'd be shocked if Kaz isn't forced to step down after this and the PSPGo fiasco.

    The DROID is an A.I. personal assistant that can be male or female, can change physical attributes (skins and other "Features") on voice command and take all your calls for you, plays games "with" you and more!!! Worried about it being scratched? They can dress in whatever you want them in.

    Yeah, that is about the only thing that would be cooler than the iPhone/iTouch Devices. :)

    Me either no phone especially that damn evo! No phone messes with the iPhone, it's just sad how phones are rushed out everday with amazing specs and try to beat the iPhone, so the developer forgets to putit together right and it falls to shit. Maybe they should learn from apple and take some times on their phones. They're all so stupid (they reffering to other phone developers).

    Perv, why do you care?
    I hate the splintering of the OS of the Android phones. After 4.00 comes out, Androids screwed.
