This seems much more about Verizon as a carrier and very little substance on the Driod phone or Android as an operating system.

I can't comment on Verizon or the Driod phone. But I can comment on the Android OS. I've been the proud user of the My Touch by HTC that is on T-Mobile and uses the Android OS.

I haven't experienced many if any rough edges on Android (please elaborate on the rough edges that you know of). And I did try out several iPhones and speak with users of various smart phones. What I have experienced is that iPhone users are willing to accept fundamental flaws that earlier and current phones have already addressed. Low battery life, no video, can't run background applications. These issues are just now being resolved with new generation iPhones. The first iPhones even had fundamental issues regarding call functions that even normal cell phones could do.

And as these issues have been solved, iPhone users I know have acted as if it is Apple breaking ground and solving this issues or offering features that no one has before.

I see it as the iCult accepting Apples word as law. Many of whom have never used other current smart phone. It is really weird.

Anyways, I'll continue using my Android phone that has all the apps I need that can run in the background, capture video, and make it 12 hours with out recharging. I can put up without the cool factor, but I can't put up with you iPhone users complaining about your product but then shelling out $100s every year that Apple comes out with a less shitty version.
