[Hidden-tech] moto droid phone, something similar on at&T?

[Daniel Lieberman]

Hi Matt,

AT&T will certainly not have an Android phone soon; they will cling to their
exclusivity advantage with the iPhone as long as they can, given the current
realities of the market. (I don't know how long their contract with Apple
is).

However, given a longer horizon for your decision, you can reasonably expect
them to have Android phones. Have you actually gotten to play with the
droid? I understand that it's a big improvement over previous Android
offerings, but still by no means as refined as the iPhone a mobile device.
Thoughts?

Best regards,
