For that reason alone I moved to the iPhone. I need to be actually able to read the emails, not just receive them It does most things wonderfully well, a few things not so good. It does certain things that actually "surprise and delight", but in particular I suppose it does email and internet in a faultless way, and that's why I bought it.

Fit for purpose.

I notice your Droid has the benefit of a pull out keyboard. If that was available here, I'd have it. There is actually a new Nokia that has a keyboard like that and the bigger screen which I liked, but no way was I paying the money they were asking. Next year they'll be giving them away with a contract, I can wait.

i seriously considered switching to AT&T a while ago to get an iPhone, but now i'm glad i didn't. i have an iPod Touch (iPhone without the "phone"), and can say i like the Droid better. the only downside i can see is that there aren't as many games for it, but if i REALLY need to play solitaire or fishing, i can just use the iPod.

the screen size and resolution are better than the iPhone - its very nice for teh internets. this is the first cell phone i've actually paid money for in the last 11 years.
