Iphone vs Droid

[oldbuddy]

Since I don't work, it means I have nowhere to go and all day to get there, so I am happy with my Vonage and the Internet on my desktop. It saves me a ton of money too.

I work for Verizon Wireless. I have had plenty of exposure to both of these. All you guys that say Android has too many problems just haven't owned enough Apple products. Every phone has issues I don't care who makes it. Android isn't perfect and neither is Apple. To those of you who say Android copies the iphone, what about SIRI? What about the notification slide down screen? Both of these were just released with the iphone 4s but were both used by Android for years before. For me it comes down to cost in the long run and support. I can tell you the facts. iphone insurances are twice as high. The deductible is twice as high if you have to use it. If you are having an issue with Android and bring it in a Verizon store I can fix it. If you bring an iphone in the store you may get some help but not much can be done. Apple doesn't like anyone messing with their products so nobody except for an Apple employee is supposed to touch it. Thats why the totally encased the iphone so you can't remove the battery, can't remove storage such as an sd card. Plus if you go to Apple they are going to charge you to fix it. And i like free stuff. Apple and Android have about the same amount of total apps, but Android has over twice as many free apps. GPS for instance is free with Android. Same app requires a $50 purchase with the iphone. You can't get free music with an iphone. I have about $2000 worth of music on my Android if I would have bought it through itunes but it was all free. No removable battery and storage is a biggie for me as well. A simulated battery pull by pushing the home button and power button simutaneously is not the same as an actual battery pull. Last but not least most people out there believe that because it's called an iphone 4 means it is ran on a 4G network. That's not true. Apple has no plans for a 4G product til at least the iphone 6. 4G is 10 times as fast as 3G. You can download a song in as little as 4 seconds on 4G. No more buffering when streaming video. 4G is just better. I'm done with my book now. Android all the way.

Android must be the  better choice from what I see, read and hear about iPhone and Android. That is nice to know

[inertia4]

My opinion is very simple, iPhone hands down. All the others are mere knock offs.

[kilophkadamas]

Droid rules all, like others have said it's all about the customization and freedom to do what you want with your phone. I-products are very reliable because they basically strip all the freedom away from you making sure nothing goes wrong. Freedom over someone holding my hand, any day.

Iphone is betterrrrrrr

[mcharris1]

Quite honestly it doesn't matter to me, I'm not paying a ridiculous amount of money on a phone I say hello on....I have a phone a computer and a television, I don't need it all in one, that's why there are so many accidents now, no one is paying attention to the road they are to busy watching an episode of Jersey shore on their phone....lol

[x_angel_313]

Haha, but not everyone watches jersey shore  I have a droid and i'm considering an iphone. My phone has given me so many problems and it restarts itself all the freaking time!

[javadog597]

I don't really want a iPod that can make calls! DROID RAZR all the way! Plus Apple hasn't really changed iOS much it all looks the same just with different hard-ware

[javadog597]

Also Siri is a gimmick most people dont use it much, read this great article about it! http://www.phonedog.com/2011/11/30/after-a-month-and-a-half-i-have-only-used-siri-a-handful-of-times/

[Blugamer44]

I don't have either, but from what i've seen, iPhone is definetely better. Why Because it has the world's best app store.

[katcho]

personally, I like the iphone better. it's easier to use and i have no need for all those fancy functions on droid.
it also has more things like cases, covers, apps etc made custom to it whereas droid has so many different phones there's less variety for each phone.

[sammywantsya]

ofcourse a droid. every phone has its flaws for example iphone dont have flash player...

[Normandie]

There is so much hype for the Iphone and all of there techniqual problems... it's still a good phone but im about to get the HTC which is like a dream phone.
