The cameras better as well with an ota update. As for the tethering and multi touch both can be achieved rather painlessly with a rooted Droid an custom rom.

If Verizon sold the IPHONE, first they would bring the ATT customers back, and then they would take the market. Its so simple focus on the problem.

Before you go into a service contract with a phone company you should make sure you like their service. If you are going just for the phone you... iDon't suggest it. 2) The battle of the Apps stores?! Until recently there was only Apple's App store. So you really can't be too down on a store with "only" 10,000+ apps. 3) Any new phone is going to have a different UI than the old one you are using. Going from iphone to Blackberry or Instict, same issue. 4) Of course this is where the fun always come in on new phones. "Needed" accessories. Even if they aren't needed, to be cool, or to make life easier you MUST purchase them. Just wait until they start selling the "ultra compact kung-fu grip phone case." Totally unnecessary, but everyone will buy it because it's there. 5) Still only the iPhone does this natively in the US. (HTC brought mutlitouch to the browser in the Hero and ?presumably? the Verizon version - Eris). 6,7,8,9) These are the tough choices. And of course the constant reminder that... more phones are just around the corner. Acer, Sony, HTC, LG... they are just starting to warm up.
