Verizon is rumored to release the new DROID smartphone on October 30th. While the iPhone currently holds the title as the most technologically advanced phone, it has been said that the DROID may give Apple a run for their money. Other wireless providers have introduced touch screen phones, but none so far have been able to compete with the iPhone.
The DROID will have a competitive price of somewhere between 100 to 200 dollars. While this phone will never replace the iPhone, it is said that this comparative product will give Apple a "jab in the ribs". Honestly, as soon as this product is released there will likely be a buzz about it for a while but only until the "next big thing" is introduced. Apple has already had huge success with the new 3G iPhone. it is only a matter of time before they will introduce a new model or a revised version.
Who is to say that the Verizon DROID will even be successful? It may be like the other Smartphones that were said to be able to compete with the iPhone, yet paled in comparison. Only time will tell!

Here's how we make a comment to a student article post.
ReplyDeleteThe IPhone will never be compared to any phone that comes out in the few 2 to 3 years because it is the first of its kind; however, this DROID could bring a few changes or have a few applications that the IPhone does not have that could possibly make any consumer want to buy this product. I am very interested of what Verizon can bring to the table as far as smartphones are concerned
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. As an Iphone owner, i feel that there are not many phones that compete with the Iphone. Sprint tried it with their Instinct that was widely advertised and nowhere near as successful. T-mobile is trying it with their My Touch phone, which is becoming popular but still not as useful or popular as the Iphone. Verizon is just the next of the major phone companies to try and take a shot at the Iphone. It may stir things up for verizon uses, but Iphone owners will not switch provides or be concerned.
