New Droid Phone, is Everything the iPhone isn't. Like Ugly.

iDon't have a physical keyboard.

iDon't care.

Motorola's upcoming Droid has similar styling to the Motorola MicroTAC of 1989, or that its UI looks eerily familiar. I can't comment on the quality of it as a device, but from seeing it-

This appears to have very little character. A look at this and the keyboard, and it becomes clear that this phone, apparently one of the fastest ever made, will appeal to people who don't care what their phone looks like.

Now don't misunderstand, there is nothing wrong with caring about sheer functionality of a device, its just not enough to take Apple's share of the market. The Droid will most likely compete with the Palm Pre.

The most important point is not that one phone is better than the other, this is just like the Mac vs. PC debate- there are different types of people in the world, ergo there are different kinds of phones. SO STOP ARGUING.

This phone will appeal greatly to a certain sector. Probably everyone that bought a Voyager. Just not the iPhone users who, if you ask them, will tell you they don't miss a physical keyboard one bit. Who am I kidding, iPhone users will tell you about their phone whether you ask them or not.
