Here's a response on the macrumors forum that takes the words right out of my mouth:
-------
I looked at Verzon's list closely and realized that it's a very "who cares" list....My thoughts...
1) Real Keyboard - iDon't care. With the newly-added Horizontal mode for texting and emailing, I type super-fast.
2) Simultaneous Apps in the background - iDon't care. My battery life thanks Apple for not allowing every app to run in the background.
3) 5MP Photos - iDon't care. 3MP is good enough for now. Couple that with the 3GS's ability to shoot and trim video, I'm doing just fine, thanks. Within a year or so, 5MP will be standard. Anything bigger than 3MP, I simply bring my Nikon D90, thank you.
4) Customize - iDon't really understand this one.... not a lot to comment on.
5) Widgets - iDon't care. The iPhone DOES run 85,000 apps, so what's the diff?!
6) Allow open development - iDon't care. There's too much ballyhoo over "Open standards this & Open standards that" -- Apple does use tons of open standards. Every developer is making money on the App store and Apple is too. Sounds like a fair arrangement... I just know that I have my pick of almost 100,000 apps so again, iDon't care.
7) Pictures in the dark - a flash would be nice. One for Droid.
8) Rechargable batteries - iDon't care. My phone has plenty of juice and it's super slim, trim and quite sexy with the curves. The Droid looks so square and ugly. I'll take sexy, thank you. I can charge anywhere there's electricity (everywhere- thanks 21st century) -- at home, in the car, at work. Plus if that's not enough, I can buy a "Juice Pack" -- no big deal, especially at the cost of its beautiful design. Honestly, I have never owned a secondary battery for a cell phone. No need. The phones give me what I need.
Lame list.
I'll stick with Apple.
- I don't own a "smart" phone yet, but I have to agree with this post as well.monospaced
- all these points are cop outs haha i mean really, having more than one app open doesn't eat battery life ha!********
- if they run constantly in the background checking in, establishing connections, they willlambsy

- battery life on iphone sucks, and why wouldn't you want more MP if its an issue on any other electronic gadget? points 2 and 3 are bogusMeeklo
- It just so happens that you don't care about all the categories in which the iPhone lags? ...BRNK
- You know what this makes you, right? Fanboy.BRNK
