That is cool that he enjoys the device he purchased, that is really what matters, but I feel that he was hardly entrenched in this so called war. Not only that, he is comparing the experience of a 1.5th generation phone versus a 4th generation phone. The Droid is a good phone, but I wouldn't call it great. It has a slower processor, less ram, the hardware feel is what some call flimsy. In my opinion Motorola didn't make great phones at first, and their drivers had lots of issues. Don't get me started on their penchant to lock down the phones.

The iPhone 4 is a great phone, but I wouldn't trade my Nexus One in for one, not even if I was paid. There are a lot of reasons, more than I wish to extrapolate in a comment. I started out with a G1, I have been in the 'trenches' if you will since the start. I know what Android has achieved, and how great it really is, because I saw it when it wasn't so great.

He didn't abandon anything, he just got a new phone.
