It hasn’t done that as yet since its too young for that perhaps and Apple iPhone has just attained the status of market leader in US cell phone market. However, Motorola Droid is still making waves. Here we discuss some reasons why would an iPhone user will switch over to Motorola Droid:

Tired of AT&T? Community is unanimous in sacking AT&T whose poor network could be a reason to switch to Motorola Droid unless Apple acts fast for its expected deal with Verizon.

Macho Look

Motorola Droid has got metallic body, so it doesn’t look delicate like iPhone yet its appealing.

QWERTY Keyboard

Although Motorola Droid phone has the keys placed too close together, it may still attract users switching over from PDAs. By combining interactive touch screen with QWERTY keyboard, Droid has taken a competitive advantage over iPhone which will matter for many.

Camera

iPhone has 3 mega pixels camera while Motorola Droid offers 5 mega pixels camera.

Multitasking

iPhone runs with one app at a time, Motorola Droid offers extensive multi tasking features. So you can run multiple applications at a time.

Browsing has been one of the main features of Droid. It gives enhanced browsing experience which is very close to what you get on a computer.

These features let Motorola Droid to take the lead, although it doesn’t have an app store as bigger as the iphone app store however its growing fast and more Droid applications are coming through.
