The argument AT&T makes in their lawsuit isn't a strong one. They are basically arguing that it will hurt their business significantly because people may think that it is the only coverage they have. They don't contest that it is a fairly accurate representation of their 3G network. All the places I have read blogs/articles about it on think that it will get tossed out in the end, that it is a week case as Verizon clearly states that it is a comparison of 3G networks. As for finding a phone that fits you, there are still more Android phones to come out. This is just the first one with Android 2.0. As a side note, I think I have gone App Happy. I don't know how many can fit, but it hasn't yelled at me yet. There is a great feature where you can scan a barcode on a webpage and then it pulls up that page in the market so it makes it easier to look through applications. Mark,

It's beginning to annoy me especially the latest round of targeting Win7. The trouble with the AT&T lawsuit is that they say the maps are unfair because iPhone users can get bandwidth for the internet in more places. However, they are talking about EDGE and 2G networks while Verizon is focusing on the faster 3G network AT&T continues to advertise. I hope Verizon sticks to their guns and focus on this slight of hand AT&T pulls. I agree with you in regards that no one phone fits all even with a bazillion apps. I liked the light simple look of the iPhone but the lack of a keyboard bothers me a bit. Yes, I got used to the virtual keyboard but it's not the same. If the Droid lives us to all the reviews i've read, they're one step closer to building the phone I want. All I want is a small phone that has 12-key pad like a normal phone, light enough to go on runs with, and has the ability to be customized with apps that I want and need. Hopefully, Motorola will downsize their phones and deliver me something I can use. --mark-- I have to admit that I’m an in the closet Apple Mac fanboy and I do agree that the “I’m a Mac” ads are getting long in the tooth.
