I recently was asked to move to the Droid from the Iphone to save some $$ on corporate wireless bills. I gladly moved and I do not miss my iphone. I would say the corporate email needs some features that have been around on phones since 2004. Signatures on email and the ability to move emails between the folders. I recently downloaded K-9 Email client and it has solved my issue with the corporate email. I too think the music app could be better refined,but……

I love the ease of use with this phone and the drag and drop between it and the computer. O have always I like being able to see my files on the computer vs being all tied up in itunes. It’s screen is gorgeous and the colors pop. Very Happy I switched and pleased to be back on Verizon…

Now if only Trism could be made for the Droid I would be completely Iphone free….

JZ: The K-9 mail client will let you file email in different folders.

I use the Motorola droid with our offices exchange server and it works flawlessly, the corporate calendar syncs almost instantly and for me i actually get my exchange email on the droid before it hits my mailbox in outlook on my desktop.
the one thing i would like to see however is the ability to file emails into different folders. that would be very helpful, although not that big of a deal to wait and file once back in the office.

Integration with gmail and calendar is nice but most business people use exchange. I understand there is some level of integratino with exchange but is it as good as activesynch on the windows phones?

@Frankie – I think I’d still take the Droid. There’s something magical about the Android OS that I can’t just pin down. Maybe it’s because it’s new to me. I’ve used an iPod touch forever and the OS just doesn’t “wow” me like it used to. There’s promise in Android. I can tell.

@MadOP
I’m not exactly sure what you mean. The phone is setup to work really well with your existing Google accounts. It has a mail client and corporate calendar that can synch with Exchange. But that’s roughly it. You can, of course, always use the web-services from other providers. The browser is fantastic.

And what if you don’t feel comfortable with your real and valuable data wandering on “the cloud”? Is it usable (and whorty) if you choose not to go for google’s services??

So Dave if you didn’t have a smart phone yet would you choose iPhone or Droid?
