I'm sure I will as i've played with it at the sprint store almost 2 weeks ago. It was actually a working model, could text, browse the web, make a phone call. I can't wait.

Got the Incredible a few days ago. The thing is a pure beast. It's definitely a serious iPhone competitor.

I just threw away my smartphone thanks to a corrupt win mobile OS and now have a shiny new Vodafone 845 running Android 2.1. It's the first touch screen I've owned and on the cheaper end of the market but and I must say I'm really impressed with Android. The apps and game downloads from Market are pretty cool. I haven't found any accessories for this type of phone in NZ yet, can you get a protective case for them?, wouldn't want the screen to get scratched.

I really don't know what the big deal with the iPhone is anymore, I had a 3G for 2 years and while it was awesome when the iPhone first came out, it's really getting dated. For the most part the OS interface has remained the same since it came out, with the exception of custom wallpapers now. The Android is much sleeker looking, and can be customized almost any way you want.

I agree that Android has a lot more options than iOS, but for the longest time, the iPhone was the winner in pure performance, but finally we're seeing Android phones that can compete with that.

Exactly, the iPhone was really ahead of it's time in relation to the current Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones, however since then Apple hasn't really changed the look or feel of the iPhone, while Android came to play and BB and WinMo have made significant changes.
I know there is a huge rumor going around about Verizon getting the iPhone, and for a while I couldn't wait for that to happen. But now I don't even know if I would want it after seeing how well Android has come along.
