For example, Verizon actually advertised "pretty" as one of Droid's features.

Devs can always come up with a home replacement that's even better than the default (they'd be more responsive to their customers than HTC or Sony) and you'd be stuck with a slower phone that won't work with the latest apps and games. You also have to wait longer for the phone to get the latest OS updates. in general, it’s a bad idea to buy hardware based on its custom UI.

LOVE My DROID...I think the phone is sexy, and honestly I like the body style better than the iphone....plus apple has no open development...too bad for them!!! But I have loved all the Droid commercials so far, maybe I am part man haha I am what many would term a “girly girl” not princessy…but feminine.

Continue doing so until the purpose of this comment becomes clear to you. @john I think software would be the last item to factor in when comparing Android to Android. I love the Sense UI but I picked up the Droid over the Eris. Hardware being the biggest reason. Android is flexible enough that I can do anything with it that Sense can do. The scenes feature specifically isn't a huge deal unless you drastically need to change your phone's functionality from work to play in a quick manner. Sense's widgets are the best, however you can buy a few of them off the market and find replacements for the rest there as well. The biggest question to ask yourself is this: is Sense worth sacrificing a bigger screen, physical control options (keyboard use with emulators, etc), and the extra processing power? If it is worth it to you, then go with Sense all the way. If it's not then go with the Droid. If you're still not sure, wait a few more months for the Passion to surface (breath, or anything else to let us know it's alive!). This is going to come out as a huge wall of text. Fix your comments, Phandroid! @ahmed
