Any droid killers on the horizon?

Sprint's supposed to be getting this HTC android phone called "supersonic" that sounds damn good.

I believe Android is the most special, no one can keep its feet in at least 1 year

There is no iPhone Killer right now. There is no Droid Killer right now. The point is, they meet two different demographics, as well as the carrier. Droid hurt the iPhone for the people that wanted an iPhone on Verizon.

If you are with AT&T, the iPhone fanbois will say it didn't hurt.
If you are with Verizon, the Android fanbois are saying FINALLY! I no longer need an iPhone.

The whole "killer" thing is nonsense. iPhone didn't KILL anything (except hurt BB a bit), and nothing will KILL the iPhone.

The same goes for the Droid. Nothing will KILL the Droid, and the Droid did not KILL the iPhone. There are enough of these meaningless threads posted everywhere on the internet. These threads are just created for people to argue. I think all of them should be closed.

With Android and Apple OS being so different, you are correct.

Motorola Shadow.

Well, there are rumors floating around that Apple will be announcing an iPhone for Verizon along with their tablet on the 27th. Nobody knows for sure, but a CDMA iPhone will surely make things VERY interesting for both the BlackBerry and Android platforms.

Oh my gosh, please, lol. There can't be the term "droid killer", only "iphone killer".

Like others have said, if you keep waiting for the next big phone, you'll never upgrade and never be happy. So just get the Droid if you are ready now. Sure they're might be plenty of new phones in the works for launch this year, but I too have learned you can't worry about that.

"(name) killer" is a ridiculous phrase. Nothing is going to kill anything else. The iPhone is a good phone, the Droid is a good phone and the Pre is a good phone.

Stop worrying about what's going to kill what and get a phone that meets your needs.

I chose the Droid because it had a good screen, a physical keyboard/hardware controls, adequate battery life, a reliable network and an open OS. If these are things you're looking for, get the Droid. If not, get a Nexus or a Pixi or an iPhone or whatever floats your goat.

Well put. You can't make your decision on what the public and/or media perceives as the "best phone". I have found the best way to pick my next phone is to find which device best fits my preferences, styling and tastes, and then research online for reviews and video walkthrough's.

WHEN is Verizon going to announce any new android phones? (even the iPhone rumor for verizon fell through it looks like) it seems like the other carriers have announced several new android phones each due out between now and fall. I am really thinking about switching carriers maybe to sprint or tmobile, looks like they have a lot of good options coming

Nexus One is coming to Verizon.

sometime before the Nexus 2 is announced, I hope.

Nexus 2 = Motorola Shadow?

Motorola Motorei coming to T-Mobile in march is the Sholes Tablet (Droid Tablet) with improved HW over the original droid.

Also, the Nexus One already beats the droid hands down. What kind of Droid killer are you looking for?
