CloseSo my cellphone (Moto Razr) is dying frequently (as in randomly turning off, sometimes mid-conversation), and my warranty expired some time ago - time to get a new phone.
The htc phone with Google Android comes out tomorrow and I am considering picking one up. But before I do, I thought I'd ask here about it, to see its worth the extra cash.
Has anyone used/owned one? What's it like? Is it worth it? Better than the iPhone? Pros/Cons over a basic phone?

Just get an IPhone if you can man, already eastablished a good reputation and all. Plus touching is good as Nintendo always say.
I hear lots of good things about the Android based phones. I have a friend who is a bit of an Android enthusiast and he was pretty sickened with me when I bought a BlackBerry over the Android option.
However, despite being created by Google, the Android app marketplace is terrible and not even truly searchable. Oh, the irony.
I despise the iPhone (and Apple in general), though I think the sheer amount of apps make it more useful than it would be otherwise.

I don't know anything about the Google phone other than that it did not make the splash I had thought it would. I really like the idea of an open phone platform, but it's a bummer that it hasn't caught on.

I am pretty sure Android based phones will outsell the iphone eventually, if only because it will be more available than the iphone -- dozens of carriers, dozens of phones. It's actually been quite successful in most of the markets it has been released in. It's not really comparing apples to apples though, I guess.
That said, everyone talks about the iphone like it is THE BEST THING EVER yet all versions of the iphone were still outsold by a single BlackBerry model -- the Curve -- in the first quarter this year. My favorite response to this was various iphone sites saying "so what?" and showing a graph where the iphone represents a majority of all smartphone traffic... but only if you lump the iphone (and the ipod touch) models together and segment all the BlackBerry phones by model...
