I don’t know the numbers, but I am sure people have migrated from AT&T(iPhone) and T-Mobile(Google G1) to Verizon due to the launching of Droid. Why was Droid special? It is like an Android on Steroid. Although I hated Verizon when I had them, I have to admit they are the only reliable network available in the Bay Area and probably most of the states. I was tempted to switch just because I get dropped calls on my iPhone from home.
Verizon and Motorola spent so much on the advertisement. I don’t know how much they sold, but I know it wasn’t much. Up until the announcement of the Nexus one, I am sure there were a bunch of people thinking about getting the Droid. Now? Wait for Nexus One.
During the announcement, they said the Nexus One will be available on the Verizon Wireless in this spring. Why would you not wait for the real Android phone even when they confirmed the release? Google should have waited at least 4~6 months after the release of the Droid if they wanted to give Motorola a fair chance.
I really feel bad for Motorola.
