Hey, it even won the Editor's Choice of Gadget of the Year - but they did not pick it as the smartphone of the year.

Haha yeah, i'm surprised it even got that. As GenericMessage said, they are pretty apple-loving over there. Even more so than Giz - at least they admit it.

Anyways thank god for democracy

No-where near as horrible as the BGR. Probably the biggest joke in tech sites ever.

True that. They beat the crap out of Droid and Android in general.

Awesome news.

I'm really surprised. I expected 2000 or more iPhone votes to show up out of nowhere just before it ended. Anyway congrats to the Droid!

I checked it a couple times while it was running. The iPhone was out in front for Smartphone of the Year for a while. Looks like a last surge by Droid fans pushed it over the top.

We won! We won!

Well thankfully it was the great product that went along with the great marketing.

As in Apples situation where its just good marketing and...........a product.

Very interesting..

Well deserved considering the 3GS was not much of an upgrade.

The Droid was also Editors choice GPS nav of the year! We need to add that to the original post!

Ya know, with the Ps3 and Xbox360..........LOL
