I don't know what hype you are talking about. All phones are hyped. My "step back in tech" statement was from my personal experience, and I had a few people I know also agree with me. I went from the Incredible, to the Evo, and most recently to the iphone 4 for Verizon. Now it could have had to do with me being use to Android (especially with HTC sense), but I felt both the Incredible and the Evo allowed more freedom, customization, but were still very user friendly. I didn't like iphones email features it had. I think the whole look of the row of icons is outdated, with the lack of widgets being a turn off. Multitasking didn't feel like actual multitasking. I could go on, but there are things that I liked about the iphone better than the Android phones. I think the touch screen responsiveness is better than any of the android phones I have used. The retina display was the best screen on a cell phone I have seen. With that said, I still feel like I took a step back in technology when I had the iphone. If you like the iphone, great. It is a great phone. I just happen to think android is superior. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new iphone will bring.
I'm also curious to know if the people who are saying apple > android or android >apple have actually had both phones. I have had discussions with people at work who keep telling me their iphone is the best phone out and android is "just ok". But when I asked them if they have owned an android phone they said no.
Okay, I didn't phrase my comments right "hype" people do buy off of hype, but my co-workers are followers. When 1st bought my EVO and they all tried, they went ahead and got it like a month after but all 3 of them got it at the same time, most of us macbooks at work so using a Android device with a macbook is brings no circle of unity cause it doesn't sync with any of the os x software. So when the iphone dropped for verizon, they completely switched over and they did this on desperate measures adding new lines to existing lines that the contract wasn't over and basically trying get the iphone by selling of their EVO to pay-off the etf. Now when your decisions is based on someone actions, its not your decision, your simply flowing a crowd. Them knowing that they can get more work done on a EVO didn't matter to them, the fact that they wanted to match brand for brand, when one person switched from EVO to iphone they all did at the same time. I'm NOT comparing OS, I'm informing an observation that I saw, and i thought was dumb, because a week later they complained about certain things the iphone couldn't do for them. I told all 3 them and said your "Don't blame your phone, blame your decision, you bought what you wanted, you'll get what comes out it"
I'm actually staying in topic here, some of you are still bickering which OS is better, just drop it. It gets tired and old. Just buy what you like, give yourself options.
Sorry but there is no topic to be discussed. OP asked why people arent buying the Verizon iPhone when in actuality its the best selling phone in Verizon's history. Not much to discuss on this topic might was well keep the war going.

Is he enjoying the Edge connection?

So what is his question? he said " why should I, as a prospective consumer, have to get a whole bunch of different apps instead of my phone just natively supporting a common bit of software" which would be assuming "Flash". I gave the reasons why its bigger than just supporting Flash and why the app ecosystem makes more sense for mobile device.

I dont see why you're-ing, you aren't getting a paycheck from apple. You're just sitting there wasting your weekend trying to convince people that really don't care to buy apple tech. And for what? So you can feel better about your purchase? I used to waste my time doing the same thing, fighting a pointless fight against everything apple until I realized that I really don't give a damn what other people use because I'm not paying for it. So unless google or MS or apple start cutting me a check, *$@+ it. Have them try to convince people to buy their products. And it's not just apple stans, same goes to fandroids, Sony lovers, and just about any fan boy.
