*please do not state or talk about the iPhone...i am strictly on Verion and only have an upgrade available now for them*

i was looking into the new Motorola Droid obviously yet I have been hearing some "talk" about the newww Motorola Devour. Who here has the Droid and is phone savvy about why one of these may be better than the other. I am more into a 'powerful' phone, and the Droid runs on Droid 2.0 software whereas the Devour only runs on a 1.6 (it has been stated to be more social network friendly i.e: facebook, aim, messenger, etc.) but i use my ipod Touch more for that/games.

ideas?

I have Verizon, and just bought the Droid from Wirefly.com for $24.95 with the activation of a new account. It will me a bit more expensive with just a contract upgrade, but still cheaper than going through Verizon themselves. Regardless, I would get the Droid because its much faster and is upgradeable to android 2.1 which just came out. You can also root your droid and overclock it to up to 1.3GHz, running with JIT. If you root it, you can get wireless tethering and get internet with your laptop wherever you get cell service. You might also wait until the Google Nexus One releases, or the HTC Incredible. Those will be faster than the droid since they come with a Snapdragon processor, 512mb vs. 256mb of RAM, and an AMOLED screen.

Personally, I have the BlackBerry Tour (9630). Its a great device. Easy interface, super customizable (ie: themes, many apps, OS's). I dont know much about the Droid or the Devour, but I can speak for some BlackBerrys. I'm not a fan of the Storm (1 or 2) on any OS, and the Blackberry Bold 9700 on any 5.X OS leak is a beast. Curves and Pearls are pretty lame though. I believe the Tour2 is coming out soon, and I believe I heard some rumors on Droid2 being released sometime in November. Hope I could help.

got the droid about a month ago, its soo sick. all the aps you can download for free from the market, speedy internet, 5mega pixel camera, google maps. But one thing that stands out from others it is memory card, you can upgrade from a 16G to what ever which a lot of other smart phones have build in 8 or 16G. I highly recommend the droid, lemme know if you get it and ill let u in on the some of the best apps

FUCK the tour. So fucking slow and lame I swear to god, I have to do a battery pull every time I add a new contact and it takes fucking years to boot up again. I'm over blackberrys for good, I just switched to the DROID today bought one and got the other free to sell on ebay and make some money off buying a new phone!
