Last year I got tired of waiting for the iPhone to come to Verizon. Since I wanted to stay with Verizon, I decided to go with an Android phone instead. I got the Droid X.

Two Comments
First, while Verizon is rolling out its 4G network, the iPhone will only run on the older 3G network. I have been told that if you want 4G you have to take an Android phone.

Second - Yeah I can connect up to 5 devices on my Droid X too. But what Verizon doesn't advertise is that Verizon charges an extra $20 per month (for 2 GB of data useage) to use that feature. That's $20 extra on top of the money you pay for their mandatory data plan that all smartphones require. One reporter stated he asked at Verizon's press conference if this same charge would apply on Verizon iphones and the spokesperson stated that they didn't know.
