CLIQ - Has MotoBlur. Personally. After you get used to the messaging being put in one area.. it totally changes your view of the way u used text and email. I simply can't do without this Push system. It encompasses all, facebook, yahoo, hotmail, text, corporate email exchange. We have a load for the CLIQ without the Blur and I just can't use the phone without it. It is like meshing the ease with iPhone and BlackBerry. You can either look at an aggregate folder or individual account folders. The CLIQ is also fun and the Google Maps comes with voice search which is very helpful while driving. I too am not a virtual keypad operator, so I can't seem to get the hang of nonkeyboard. CLIQ is $119 right now @ Wirefly...
the phone configurations can be saved, as well as its contacts. It pulls in all your contacts from all your accounts. You can wipe it remotely if you ever loose your phone. And automagically put it on another phone by simply logging into your MotoBlur account.
DROID - when we were first developing this phone, I thought it was the ugliest thing I ever saw....LOL. But as it matured, it actually started looking good. It does not come with Blur, but google put facebook push messaging. It does have many upgrades, plus the their are separate processor for CPU and a separate one for Video. I don't understand why some people do not get this when they compare iPhone and Pre saying that they are disappointed that the processor is 550...Rubish, the other two do not separate processing for video! If you want balls out get the Droid, but it will require more phone savvyness and kind of geered towards trekkies or techies. It does have a 3.7" screen and one of the best resolution screens out there.
The DROID i believe is not trying to play to be like an iPhone. Its marketing to the other half who need more than simplicity. Honestly...without the APPs, I would be bored for iPhone. I just don't like the fact that i can't play my music and do other things at the same time. I know Android is still a little harder to navigate than the iPhone. I honestly speak respectfully to the iPhone crowd when speaking features. iPhone is very easy, it appeals to the masses. It really amazes me the cult like faces that i talk to when we are talking phones....I see some, somewhat threatened that the DROID is getting much talk...The iPhone really was a groundbreaker...but some companies have figured out somewhat a way to compete.
Back to the topic...
CLIQ for the ease of use and Social networking + ease of messaging. TMobile service spotty in some places. 3G coverage sparce at times. but comes with Wifi (yahoo and account type services not available on Wifi)
DROID for more serious phone features. comes with faster processor. Free Turn by turn navigation. Comes with Car and Alarm type features after purchasing car and home docs. Verizon network is really good as far as voice and data coverage is concerned, hence the more expensive charge for monthly coverage.
:wink:
The Droid looks like an awesome phone. I'm not an iPhone h8r, but I can not type on a "virtual" keyboard. I need the tactile feedback of real keys. The Droid looks like it has a beautiful keyboard. Plus, Verizon's network blows away AT&T's.
Follow-up question: my wife is tied in to T-Mobile, and so if I go T-Mobile we get the "family" discount. No Droid on T-Mobile, but they do have the Cliq, which looks a little less business-like, but is perhaps feature comparable to the Droid. Anyone have any thoughts on Droid versus Cliq?
