Today is the day!\u00a0 Verizon Wireless<\/a> is rolling out the Motorola Droid<\/a> with the hope of winning back market share from customers who defected to AT&T Wireless<\/a> and the Apple iPhone<\/a>.\u00a0 With the Droid, backed by Google<\/a>, Verizon Wireless just might have a chance.\u00a0 Where the Blackberry Storm<\/a> failed, Google and Droid might succeed.<\/p>\n

Verizon Wireless is certainly attacking the iPhone head-on with its new Droid ads.\u00a0 Check out one of the commercials below.\u00a0 There is no doubt what the message of this ad is.<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n

Of course, it’s just Day 1, so the verdict is still out, but smartphone consumers have been waiting anxiously for Verizon Wireless, considered to have the best network in the United States, to catch up to AT&T and the iPhone.\u00a0 Can the Droid on the best network compete with the coolest phone on a substandard network?<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, Verizon Wireless had the opportunity to be the “it” wireless carrier.\u00a0 The company was given the chance to pick up the exclusive iPhone deal with Apple, but the company passed.\u00a0 The result?\u00a0 AT&T stole some market share and Verizon Wireless hasn’t been able to recoup those customers yet.\u00a0 Without its superior network and the continued hold on the business marketplace by RIM’s Blackberry<\/a>, Verizon Wireless would really be in trouble.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Verizon Wireless realized that the clock was ticking.\u00a0 The Storm might not have delivered (although rumors of a new version of the Storm leave some consumers hopeful of improvement), but the Droid just might.\u00a0 Let’s face it.\u00a0 There seems to be a battle to take over the world in terms of brand dominance.\u00a0 For the tech-related world, Google and Apple are leading the pack but in very different ways.\u00a0 Now, they’re poised to battle somewhat directly.\u00a0 Who will win?\u00a0 This should be fun to watch!<\/p>\n

And that brings me to my question — what smartphone would you get?\u00a0 The Droid on Verizon Wireless’ network or the iPhone on AT&T’s network?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
