Droid could be coming to AT&T

[iPirate]

In my area, AT&T works better. I had Verizon for over 5 years. My son had AT&T. We did side by side tests with both. AT&T won. Now I must wait impatiently for the droid.

I don't understand why people don't get that. Coverage varies. Every carrier has holes. Everyone needs to assess carriers for their own individual coverage purposes. If you're getting the coverage you need that's all that matters.

Maybe the location of his test was bias towards AT&T? I think overall people have tried both and VZW is better. So far VZW has been better for me. People with iphones use wifi in my building, my guess is because 3g doesn't work or doesn't work well for them.

That picture looks as though this at&t 'droid' will have motoblur...

It's been to my experience, that the Verizon Network, is basically useless outside of huge cities and extremely populated areas. While the AT&T Network definitely is NOT that good, it still gets signal to do its job MOST places nobody else has signal, enough for some texting or calling, some slow internet, but still better than no signal. It'd be pretty cool if AT&T got a form of the Droid. In regard to the different appearance, AT&T I've noticed always seems to get a different design for their phones than other networks. They had the HTC Touch Pro 2 (Tilt 2) redesigned, and a few other phones as well, I see no reason they wouldn't do the same. They'd probably find a way for it to have the pinch to zoom browser (I'm a little behind on Droid news but last i checked it lacked the feature) though I don't mind the scroll bar.

Could this be fake?

umm.. not so much fake as it is the a photoshopped picture of the pre-production droid units motorola used for development.I remember a month or two ago that they were up for sale on ebay...

IMO you still need VZW service to capitalize on the Droid

This. ^

Or any smartphone really, especially if you travel to a lot of different places.

Hmmm weirdness. It really is all about your location, here in kentucky we have lots of trees and hills and all that good stuff in the way lol, not sure of the landscape out there, though i do want to move there maybe one day.

Welll I know in my area verizon doesnt work so well, not much signal unless you're in the bigger metro areas. Though I would love to switch to verizon although at&t's 3g is really starting to spread around here.

I have already seen a Moto Droid on the AT&T network. I have a nephew that works at Best Buy and he received an Android from CANADA thru a BEST BUY in CANADA store that works on the AT&T network. It looks just like my moto but does not say verizon on the front lower right like ours. I should have asked him to take out the battery and show me his SIM slot but I didnt think to do that. I will though this weekend when I see him for the Paquio fight.
