    TP2 or Motorola DROID

    So I have to switch from Alltel to Verizon due to the takeover and now I have this very very hard decision to make. Do I get the TP2 or do I turn to the dark side and get the DROID?

    The more I read about android and everything the better and better it sounds. Right now, the hardware and software seem much better than what the TP2 has to offer. They're priced the same and although I like the look of the TP2 ( minus the bulky-ness) The DROID is also very attractive and internally appears to be a lot more advanced than the TP2.

    I'm really torn between the two especially now that the TP2 is available online at the verizon website.

    What are your thoughts? Anybody here going to get the DROID?

    Is there anything I may be missing in making my decision or anything that stands out on either phone that would make it worth purchasing over the other?

    Thoughts please!...

    Thanks

      in other words in cant be compared until the droid drops..... just wait and once it drops buy the droid, you will have a month to return it and get a different phone.... if you dont like it, get the tp2...

        Thanks for the quick replies guys.. I hear what you're saying, can't compare until we can physically compare them in hand.

        Well, I've pre-ordered the DROID from best buy so I will pick it up on friday and see what it's all about.

        I did not know I had 30 days to return the phone if I don't like it, so that's a great option (new to verizon) but, I will patiently wait for next Friday to roll around a go from there...

            I feel ya, I'm still boating around with the Alltel PPC-6800. With Alltel I was in the dark ages and now that the switch over has happened with Alltel and Verizon, I'm all the sudden able to get these phones due to the switch over with a discount on top of the current prices.

            So, either way I'm definitely upgrading, I really like the keyboard on the TP2 as for the DROID, I'm a bit concerned I will not like it, especially after messing around with the dummy phone at best buy but we will see how I adjust.

              the speeds arent really that much different to tell the truth between the devices considering os slows some down and such.... they asre going to be pretty even but you should be happy with the droid and if not as strated you got 30 days to trade in for something else aka the touch pro 2 or the imagio if you dont mind not having the keyboard physically.

                    Re TP2 or Motorola DROID

                    i still cant get over the fact that the Droid will most likely to ship with the horrendous gold trim...

                    the only thing i dont like about it is that the screen may be longer than the pro2 but its skinny....

                    i rather have the nice and wide TP2 screen rather than the droid's

                            Yea, after looking into a little further, it's not a global phone. I guess I'll be using skype when I go over seas...unless there's a better option?
