I have the Tour and I love it, I would love if more with wifi, but I have towers less than 200yds from both home and work so coverage isn't an issue.




With my BB I can have Pandora running, GPS and my browser and still use the phone normally with no slowdown. As far as multimedia goes, I can watch tv and movies on it just fine the screen is brilliant. The speaker is ok, though it would be better if they'd put two on it, but that's what headphones are for in any case. I'm not an iPhone fan so I'll skip a comment on that and I've played with a few android phones and they seem solid, I just wasn't sure how stable the OS is so I went with BB.

Is your icon from ghost in the shell? And I want wifi on tour too :(

Yay! I was right! Have you seen the original GITS cartoon movie? She had huge boobies! Was an awesomely dirty movie, along the lines like Ninja Scroll or Basilisk. lol. You ever seen an anime called Karas, Guyver, or Tekkaman? Very cool ones. KK I shut up now :P

[The Dark Knight]

I have the iPhone...wife has the Tour

She loves her tour...

And about the Droid...I'm already sick and tired about hearing about it...I got 1 co-worker who has been trying to get a phone better than my iPhone...so EVERYDAY he tells me how great it is and how it's gonna take my iPhone down...he has gone through so many phone...me...1 iPhone

The Droid seems decent...but it's all hype...but if you want the latest phone craze...get it man.

Definitely not a chance. The tour was just released a few months ago. They have fixed the trackball issues many have experienced, so if you have a Tour and your trackball jams, just call Sprint or Verizon and do a warranty exchange. The new one shouldn't have any of those issues.

As far as the Bold 9700 (the new one T-Mobile is releasing in like two weeks and AT&T will get a few weeks later) goes, it is also a worldwide device. The Tour is a CDMA/GSM hybrid (because Sprint and Verizon use CDMA). The Bold is simply a GSM device (AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM). Once you go overseas you're going to be relying on GSM anyway. CDMA is really only used in North America.

If you're interested in MotoBLUR at all, wait for the Calgary to come out on VZW in a few months. It'll be a "lower-end" device than the Droid, however it will have Motorola's sweet social networking integration.

There's also the Droid Eris (It's really an HTC Hero, VZW just renamed it). I've heard few to no complaints about that device, and the user interface is absolutely incredible. It's also based on Android.

As for the iPhone coming to Verizon, don't hold your breath. Apple doesn't want to be bothered with CDMA, because then they need to have two different iPhones, or they'd have to put SEVERAL radios into the device, which would be a pain in the ass. It may come to Verizon once they start rolling out their LTE network and we start seeing decent coverage in about two years. Even if Verizon AND Sprint were given the iPhone, it's drops in the pail compared to the international audience they have with it.

Also realize that Verizon's current "Our 3G network is 5 times as big as AT&T's!" is extremely misleading. Verizon's entire network technically qualifies as 3G, even though it's still mostly 1xRTT, which is a technology that delivers data speeds in line with AT&T's 2G network. So, technically they have much more 3G coverage, but they have about the same high-speed coverage as AT&T. Basically, it's about which carrier has better coverage where you are. For instance, when I'm on campus the best coverage by FAR is T-Mobile. When I'm home the best is Nextel (Note that even though Sprint OWNS the Nextel network, they are two completely different networks).

I own it. Haven't seen Karas, Guyver or Tekkaman, but I have today off so I'll get on that.

Edit: Watched Karas, pretty sweet, though i wish i could've gotten it subbed rather than dubbed. Guyver and Tekkaman aren't on netflix streaming so I'll get those through other means.

I just got the droid and it's great (i got my music synced to it from songbird). I can't wait to get the dashboard mount as my gps. I've used an itouch for a while and it's pretty much the same. So if you want something like the iphone, I would say get the droid.

Now all I need is a 2ss camaro and I'm set.

yeah according to the motorola website they're releaseing a dashboard mount that comes with a charger (tho i hope it's somehow integrated like the desk-holder and not just an additional cable)! i'm waiting for that one as the one that verizon sells doesn't include a charger. it's just the mount.

btw i love this phone so far!

Damn it. I guess Tourbo will be my new little buddy. I really didnt like iphones behavior, I went through 3 NEW 3gs during course of right after launch. No coverage, well spotty to say the least, sprint and verizon phones loaded data anywhere, I am always browsing online, I am either reading and researching purchases, or geeking by reading up on whats new lol. I am ALWAYS on web browsing with my mobile devices. Friends Private Security and High Profile Escort company, their iphones work everywhere, no matter if they are right next to a normal iphone, theirs are awesome. He told me they were different. I dont get it. But I just wish Iphone was avalible elsewhere. I hate at&t. I know alot of people who profess their love for their iphone, its much like my ears are burning. They have great apps, and etc. Just not liking coverage, as well personal experiances with the phone. I am thinking of giving it another try. Just not sure if I want to put the effort, and just go get tour. I dont care for the posh flash factor. People use iphone sometimes like a fashion statement, especially geeky guys. Like they are so uber cool. I dont care for whats in, I just like things that work, and work well. Like a car, cammy for instance. Has all the work it does, but to perform, if it just happens as a byproduct to "look" cool, thats fine. But was never the intent or purpose.

And I hate when people hold their iphones in other peoples faces or dont shut up about what they are doing with it. Its like ok...its a phone....

Like bikes or cars, I build for myself. I rarely post specifics, and never media on any public outlet for right click saving like porn for random people. I build for myself, same with phone. Its mine. Not going to yell out how cool it is. Iphone or not, tour or whatever. Its not a bragging rights comp.

I still dont understand why people feel the urge to yep out loud about iphone. congrats. everyone has one.

And for the guys saying brand x phone will finally kill the iphone? Its much like car owners yelling their make/model car owns ALL. when that simply isnt true. Different strokes for different folks.

Woot! The Karas anime will be coming stateside as a LIVE ACTION movie film, when I first got word, I am trying to cast for it, dont care if its for a support or extra position. I want in! And yah, I usually watch in full japanese without subtitles. But my little cousins who btw are FULL japanese, watch in dub, cause they were born and raised here in the states. lol. Sometimes though I have to put subs on cause they speak really fast in some animes.

Both Guyver and Tekkaman are old yet new, they were old, but had newer renditions created of them, I honestly with they did this for more oldies. Astro Boy was a Japanese Icon, havent seen the version in theaters yet, may wait for blu ray. But was in upcoming Ninja Assassins, as an extra, excited to see it in its entirety.

Have you seen Ninja Scroll? Sword of the Stranger? I like epics like Karas, or GITS movie, Akira, etc. Series are good, but few ever fair top notch animation. Maybe Samurai Champloo I think its called? MD Geist is a oldie but goody, as is Vampire Hunter D, which too btw is coming stateside for a live movie production.

Games like Castlevania, Metal Gear, are getting live action big budget movies as well.

Iron Man 3 is already in talks, as is Green Lantern, Wonderwoman, cant wait for Magneto, Captain America, Deadpool, and other comic based movies hope they do better then freaking Wolverine: Origins
