Nope, he's still waiting for that 69 boss 429 Nilay promised him... god i hope they use that car as a recession antidote.

Also is the dpad good or not? If it is then why not include it on the face of the phone? What makes a dpad useful when the keyboard is slid out but not when it's not?

I'm not even slightly interested in this device. But that is my opinion.]]>Oct 31st 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/Nov 2nd 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/Oct 30th 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/

It happened with the iPhone and 3GS (not the 3G actually)--Apple paid the marketing price hence it's life-marriage to AT&T. Verizon has enough marketing might to do the same, but up until now, so what if the iPhone makes more sales (look at the Treo vs. the BB same scenario in 2004) I hope they don't over advertise it and just go it grassroots style. With the amount of hardware, openess and Android, the phone will have surpassed any other phone's capability in the next 6 months from OTA updates, hacks and hopefully make people rethink the netbook angle, not the iPhone angle.]]>Oct 30th 2009 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/

I can see the keyboard sucks just from looking at it. But how come you guys aren't going on more about the screen? The screen seem absolutely AMAZING. Over two and a half times the number of pixels on an iPhone display! Can you use those pixels in any material way like say web browsing, or is everything just so tiny it doesn't matter except it just makes everything seem a little sharper?]]>Oct 30th 2009 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/Oct 30th 2009 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/Oct 31st 2009 12:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/Oct 30th 2009 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/

Why are you assuming Brien is an "iExtreme Troll"? He could be a Pre fanboy, or Symbian... Why do people assume that if someone says something negative about a phone, they are automatically iPhone users?

You are right, he could be anything you mention. The problem tho, is either
1. engadget's commenter really hate ifanboys that much, or
2. ifanboys troll too much that everyone assume any trolling is done by ifanboy.]]>Oct 31st 2009 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/Oct 30th 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/
Well considering when you put an "i" in front of something, it's supposed to be directed towards the iPhone, you'd be saying those things about the iPhone and not DROID. I think it's hawt, and the iUgly is the one that needs a facelift. Maybe you're cool with your Ngage styling, but I'm definitely trading in my LG Dare for this when my contract runs out in April (unless somethings better comes around). ]]>Oct 30th 2009 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/Oct 30th 2009 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/more-on-the-droid-thoughts-from-the-rest-of-engadget/
