If your one of those "big brother" haters then an iPhone should be the least of your worries. You think the droid is only phone off of the gov't radar?? I am not pro-invasion of privacy but I have nothing to hide if someone is listening. Then again, I am not planning on blowing up buildings or killing babies.
I have no illusions as to my vulnerability to invasions of privacy. If I did, I'm pretty sure I'd have had to leave the country after the passing of the "Patriot Act"... My distaste for i-anything stems more from a consideration of Apple's asserting itself as big brother rather than thinking of the government in the traditional Orwellian sense. If the government feels the need to moderate my activity, then I have to endure it (to a point...). Private companies, however, are a different story. I disagree with their company model and, as a personal choice, avoid Apple products. I am not saying one is better than the other. Like you, I have nothing to hide. If the government wants to listen to my boring ass conversations, my only complaint would be that it's a waste of taxpayer money...
Oh, and back to topic. I like my Droid is all.
