iPhone 4 vs Droid X - tech specs
How does Apple's iPhone 4 compare to Motorola's Droid X and HTC's Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, and Nexus One?
Even as iPhone 4 goes out for delivery, and reservists start lining up at Apple Stores, Motorola, Google, Adobe, and Verizon announced the Droid X, the latest, best Android on the planet.
Our good friend Phil from Android Central was there to live-blog all the news live as it happened, and even now is going hands-on with the Droid X, but we managed to tear the spec-sheet away from him long enough to update our joint fact sheet on all things iPhone 4 vs. Android.
For easy reference, here are the Droid X stats gone solo:
- Huge 4.3", 16:9, 854x480 screen (that's 400,000 pixels)
- HDMI out and DLNA support
- 1GHz TI OMAP processor
- Full Flash 10.1 (not available at launch, waiting on Froyo 2.2)
- 8 gigs on board and a 16gig card included, but compatible with 32gig SD cards for a total potential memory of 40 gigs
- 512mb RAM
- 8 megapixel camera that captures 720p HD video
- Three microphones (outward-facing for video, noise-canceling, and regular)
- a 1570mAh battery, which should be 'comparable to the Droid 1' on battery life
- GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, naturally
- Wi-Fi Hotspot with support for tethering up to 5 devices will also be available for an additional $20 per month with a 2 gig cap.
Good on Android for getting around previous app storage constraints, and for keeping the push on for Wi-Fi Hot Spot. It won't be released until July 15 but announcing now lets them get b-roll on iPhone 4 coverage so, smart. (Though some are playing this off as more competition to the Evo 4G than the iPhone 4).
Anyway you slice it, this is a big Droid. But is it big enough to go one-on-one with iPhone 4 and iOS 4?
There are 67 comments. Add yours.
As far as user experience NO! Impressive spec sheet non the less.
@Brandon
I think that pretty much goes with all Android phones... Impressive specs, yet not the complete package that has come to be expected from Apple. This is the one thing that sets Apple apart from many of it's competitors and what makes the iPhone so seamless.
I'm on the fence regarding iPhone 4g, droid x and evo 4g. I foresee android advancing much more quickly and already being more advance in some regards to iPhone OS. Currently have a 3G with a contract expiring on 7/11...
I can't find the original post with the tech specs table to see it in full res. Could you provide a link please? TIA
iPhone's biggest challenge in the USA is carriers not phones. Is a good phone on a great carrier better than a great phone on AT&T.
What is DLNA?
I phone hands down, you can dual boot the iphone but you cant dual boot a droid.
So if you want that pastry goodness just dual boot your phone and you can get the best of both worlds
@muero
DLNA is basically a protocol for streaming media over a wireless network. The Droid X will be able to play this streaming media.
Like many of the Android devices this year its simply better than the iPhone...even 4. Talking about an "experience" and providing one are two different things. I think its clear to see from the iOS 4 update problems (even without the problems...just the update procedure) than Android provides the easier device to use from top to bottom. Now with apps being able to back themselves up in the cloud when the phone is wiped or you buy a new one its miles ahead of all the wired stuff you have to do with an iPhone and a computer. Cloud to device again makes your experience going from your computer to your phone when you need to leave seamless. The list just goes on and on while the iPhone has yet to tackle even something as simple as notifications. Multitasking isn't done right if a chat convo can go on in the background and you have no knowledge of whats being said to you. "Experience" has truly just become a go to buzzword to pull out when an Android device is compared to the iPhone. There aren't even any specifics given any more.
Nothing better for advancement and improvement than competition :)
Well, Android is selling 160,000 phones a day... I think its enough. The first Droid is the biggest seller for Android and this will definitely replace that. I still don't think any of the big 5 players will die any time soon though no matter how good the other is... (Apple, Android, Nokia, Blackberry, and soon Winphone 7) - (oh and maybe Palm too if they make something new)
Thanks Blaque, very good point. Another one is information. You can set up an Android device to get to information that is important to YOU without even going into an app. So for me, the real difference is the way the two devices allow you to access your information. And I disagree with the iphones weakness being ATT. Just looking at sales alone, ATT doesn't seem to have held the iphone back at all because Apple has convinced users its all about the phone vs. the service, which is blatantly wrong. But consumers are allowed to believe what they want.
They all look similiar. I prefer the larger screens, because I can't see 300+ DPI without a magnifying glass, anyway. Plus my hands are big and the iphones are just too small for me.
The Apple "user experience" is a pretty subjective thing. Having stuff bounce around when you flip them is cool, but dropping widgets on your home screen and customizing it they way you want makes for a better user experience for me. Plus all the android advantages are numerous.
Apple provides a nice tidy package that's ready to go. Plus, that new phone is a real art piece (I would put that thing directly from the original box to an otterbox cover case!).
It's one of those things where you wish you had the case of the iphone, speed of Sprint's 4G, coverage of Verizon, Google's navigation/voice/voice input/open market/cloud/flash etc, size of Droid X/Evo screen, resolution of iPhone, Motorola's TI's 1GHZ OMAP processor and GPU, and finally, Metrocell's $39 unlimited voice, data, and messaging plan!
I am waiting my iphone 4, but i think that in 2 years Android will surpass Iphone
"Wi-Fi Hotspot with support for tethering up to 5 devices will also be available for an additional $20 per month with a 2 gig cap."
Hah, that's new. Only a 2gb cap? That's going to piss off a lot of people. So much for Verizon being the white knight that rides in carrying the iPhone. This is further proof that they will hose customers just like AT&T.
I hate comparing specs. its like comparing lebron james to kobe bryant, lebron may put up all the flashy numbers but who gets the job done at the end of the day and brings home the ring.... kobe bryant of course. and yes kobe is the iphone where lebron is android.
the iPhone will outsell every one of these phones but collectively they will give the iPhone a run for its money. The main consumer or the average cellphone user will most likely buy an iPhone bc of all the hype and drop dead simple UI. the reason Android sells so much is bc they have cheap phones and available everywhere. if you gave people the option you know they would choose IPhone. plain and simple. people like things that just work. Every Android phone is the same just with different specs. its no longer unique which will ultimately make it uncool bc so many people will have it and the iPhone will remain the cool device.
agreed that at&t is definitely the weakness with the iPhone 4 however i feel that upgrade process is one of its strengths not its weakness. i dont know if i am allow to link but tested just did a look at the 2 platforms http://www.tested.com/news/a-tale-of-two-platforms-apple-ios-4-vs-androi....
in it he talks about all the strengths and weaknesses of ota upgrades and it will get worse as their becomes more andriod users.
the question is polish vs function. i like the way apple does things their engineers are amazing and they really pay attention to details problem is some people dont like the way they do things. andriod has all the openess which is both good and bad task kill and app managers like are just one example of how openess. for me andriod will never be as bug free and we have just begun to see fracturing it will get much worse from here. as popular companies like htc put their spin on the os and the hardware continues to accelerate. just my 2 cents
andrew flores: You're wrong.
Some try to down play the user experience as secondary to advances in hardware or features in the OS. The iPhone has already moved beyond proving it's hardware or software capabilities and can pretty much keep the competition at bay for an entire year until the next iPhone release. At which time it once again moves ahead and outshines the competition. I don't think any Android phone can do that. Besides hardware gets old real fast as do the OS features. And once every phone has the same features and hardware, you're left with the user experience and that's something Android can't match. That's why the iPhone is the best phone period. You Android types are missing the point because you're buying Google's marketing about openness and choice. That's a deception. Apple is winning because they get it and are delivering the hardware, software and the experience.
I also do love the ease of the iphone...but it's just limited in what it can do - in features, in network data caps, and limitation of data speed and coverage. It's perfect for my mom or my wife, but if you're a power mobile user, I think having the choice to have mobile hotspot, 4g service, free google navigation, google voice, slingplayer over 4g or 3g, and a larger screen are things that are more important to me. That said, if you put that iphone 4 with a larger screen on the verizon network, or the much cheaper sprint plan with unlimited data caps & 4g, that would make it much harder. As for user experience, having tried but not owned the android, I think it's pretty darn easy to learn.

Apple tieing itself to AT&T will go down as one of the biggest business blunders in history. Apple totaly cripples it's devices then toats new "features" every few months. All they are doing is turning on things already there. Why not have them on at launch? How about that tethering that's been a feature for a I think years now yet you still can't use. Your mobile device is only has good as the network it's on. AT&T is garbage. I hope the iPhone never comes to Verizon..AT&T can keep it. The Droid X leaves the iPhone in the dust.
Ultimately, what's best for consumers is choice. And we have a lot of that today in terms of smartphones. I am loving every minute of my iPhone 4 experience and wouldn't trade it for anything else. I am tied in with my MacBook Pro so the user experience becomes even more important for me.
Everyone has a choice here so for those who are pissing and moaning about the iPhone a -please go buy an Android phone and leave this forum.
Again...vague terms and no examples. Just saying "experience" and "ease" don't mean anything. There are no examples to be found anywhere. There are plenty examples of what Android can do that the iPhone has yet to do that equate to an easier experience. I listed a few and see none from the iPhone. The link comparing the two looks to harp on what the platforms mean for a developer...not an end user. When the end user receives their update they get a pop up and simply hit ok. Thats all. Their phone updates and reboots and they are back up and running. The timing of when you receive it has nothing to do with the ease of updating your phone when its ready. Theres no confusion. If its not ready for your device then your device doesn't say anything. Theres no data backup because your contacts, email and calendar are in the cloud. And now with 2.2 all of your app data can be in the cloud as well. Again...iOS has fallen behind in usability features and no longer has the better or easier user experience.
Another vague argument from the iPhone crowd is that the iPhone is winning. But nothing actually points to that being true. Fastest growing platform in just about every metric taken has been Android since late last year. Its not going to overtake in installed base soon because it launched later. But at this point it is leading in sales. Even if the iPhone 4 launch puts a dent in that almost all analyst have Android matching or overtaking iOS in sales by the end of this year. Thats why Apple chose to discuss install base at their launch event rather than put up any numbers on growth to refute the numbers that have been coming out.
Articles like this are just asking for fanboi wars... I'll bite... A bit...
Neither the iPhone nor Android phones are going away anytime soon. They're all selling like hotcakes and I doubt we'll see any one become a clear winner.
The average consumer doesn't care how much RAM a phone has or whether it has a Snapdragon, OMAP, or A4 CPU. They just care if it runs smoothly or does what they want it to do.
Other spec comparisons don't do the devices justice. For example a bigger battery does not automatically equate to better battery life. Same goes for camera megapixels while ignoring the harder to quantify sensor quality.
And other specs simply come down to personal preference. For example user replaceable battery vs a more solid device with no removable panel and better battery life to begin with or more compact design. Or the flexibility of swappable memory cards vs fully integrated storage with no moving parts that are more prone to breaking.
I'm really liking the display, battery life, speed and build quality of my new iPhone 4 though ;)
Again the user experience comes into question. How well are those features imemented? What about battery life? Build quality? Yeah you have the choice, but its half baked. You have to pay extra for 4G whether it's available in your area or not and tethering and they kill your battery. Soon all the service providers will be introducing some sort of caps on data. AT&T just got there first. There were complaints about the iPhone not having a physical keyboard, now several Android phones have dropped them. iPhone was ahead.
What happened to RIM? Weren't they the competition when Apple started out? Just kidding, they're a bit player now and have yet to fully convince themselves that the game changed 3 years ago.
Android devices are compelling, but they seem to be compelling the same way that RIM devices were just a few years ago. Out of the gate, they're selling the phone at a discount - $199 after a $100 rebate. This follows on the Droid's impressive launch but it wasn't long before it's price was cut or it was selling BOGO - buy one get 1 free just like Blackberries. Now, we're 6 months from the original Droid launch and these devices have proven that they cannot keep their value even at launch let a lone 1 year after they're up for sale. Say what you want about iPhones but Apple has convinced the market of the value of their devices to a market that is still willing to pay full price on an iPhone almost a year after it's out.
I'm all for innovation, but Android based phone manufacturers are also missing lessons learned from the Palm Pilot days. They're throwing every piece of hardware they can to make their devices attractive but are missing the point that these are still mobile devices which people don't want to have to charge every few hours. Apple learned that. The iPhone 4 can now go a day without being charged. You can't say that about an EVO. It also throws off the comparison between the two phones. It's great if the MSRP of each is $199. But if you have to spend another Jackson on a spare battery then we're not comparing apples to apples anymore (pardon the pun).
The next 12 months in this space will be very interesting. We all heard rumors about where Apple is going with Cloud services. iTunes and possibly a free, updated Mobile Me service to compete with what Google is going to roll out. Palm may be forgotten for dead right now but will be HP property in just over 30 days. I heard that they purchased an online music company today so it appears that they're not rolling over and letting Apple and Google battle this out alone.
@Blague - go post your drivel here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/
Other Fandroids will blindly follow you off the cliff.
@Blaque - your fellow Fandroids seem to be arguing over which phone is now better, the EVO or the Droid X. Seems like your own kind can't even get along with one another.
Why does the iphone 4 say its on a "2.5g EDGE network"...aren't all the iphones since 2008 on the 3G network?
@The_Reptile I totally agree with you. I don't see the android phones lasting too much longer because instead simply coming up with an up to date software, they are just throwing together phones just to TRY to stay ahead of the iPhone. They are soon going to run out of ideas and be scratching there heads trying to figure out Apples next move. I almost feel sorry for the people who actually go out and purchase the phone.
Looking forward to froyo in the next few weeks for my evo, but since 2.3 will focus on UI that's the one I'm looking forward to. Google needs to make its app store more appealing and development more universal and easier
Also android is here to say and this will be iphones competition for a while. I love competition
@Jay Rell
You must not follow anything right? How is Android watching Apple's next move? Most of the features brought to the iOS 4 update were implemented in Android when it first came out. So I'm lost.
As far as this comparison...get what you want. You like iPhone, okay. Android, great. But don't post pointless tirades about how phone X is greater than phone Y because it's this and that is that. It's stupid. I own a Nexus and I can admit that the iPhone is beautiful beyond all belief, very simple, and popular.
But Android is not as complicated as most folks want you to believe. As Blaque put it, Android excels in simplicity in certain spots. You need an update...it tells you and you press okay. You want to back up your data...don't worry about it, literally. Android takes care of that. You want access to the more important things like weather, sport news, etc...put a widget on your screen instead of digging thru app after app. There's no longer anything confusing about Android anymore.
All in all, each has it's own weaknesses. To be idiotic enough to say either is going to be crushed...well, you must truly not know much.
Although...I am with Blaque. i would like to see in words how the user experience is still "crap" on Android compared to iPhone.
I switched to android over a month ago. My only regret is not dropping the iPhone sooner.
There are an awful lot of vague statements here claiming the iPhone has a "better experience" or some such nonsense. absolutely 100% wrong. each and every iPhone user that has played with my phone has been impressed and a couple friends who would never have considered android before seeing it firsthand are now going to android devices instead of the iPhone 4.
I don't buy the "better experience" argument for one second. it is a meaningless phrase invented by those who cannot provide a single specific example of anything the iPhone does better than android.
Some try to down play the user experience as secondary to advances in hardware or features in the OS. The iPhone has already moved beyond proving it's hardware or software capabilities and can pretty much keep the competition at bay for an entire year until the next iPhone release. At which time it once again moves ahead and outshines the competition. I don't think any Android phone can do that. Besides hardware gets old real fast as do the OS features.

You Android types are missing the point because you're buying Google's marketing about openness and choice. That's a deception. Apple is winning because they get it and are delivering the hardware, software and the experience.
In response to Blaque. Droid does a lot of things. It just doesn't do them very well. Here's what the iPhone does; 802.11 N, tap to focus, built in video editing, the new gyroscope, Video calling built in at no charge, compass, iPod, iTunes, the largest app store on the planet, make calls and surf the Web at the same time, better battery life, the best smart phone screen (retina Display). You can actually use this thing outside in bright sunlight as I'm doing now, beats all other devices in user satisfaction (JD Power), best built hardware. iphone pioneered multitouch and has the best implementation of any device, the accelerometer, proximity sensor, compass, and more to come.
Most of them haven't used an android OS period, only than could YOU truely compare both phones without reviews

I love how defensive ibone users are because of how threatening android has become. All iphone users are suckers to apples marketing. AT&T is so bad that apple won't even mention them in their marketing campaigns. Better user experience, give me a break, android can be personalized however you want with out voiding your warranty I.e. jailbreaking. I don't know who posted the numbers for the wifi hotspot but verizon has made no announcement on cost or cap and if it's like the palms then it will be free with a 5 gb limit. Eat that AT&T, more allowance for less and we aren't selling increment data and ripping off our customers. Also someone was bragging how AT&T was the first to remove unlimited and "everyone else would follow". Why are you proud that your carrier is ripping you off. Vzw will never put a limit on data on their 3g network. All you apple folks can keep on over paying for your inferior products and be pawns to steve jobs will. Everyone else will be using the better os, android, on the better network, verizon. Enough said.
My evo does all that minus the gyroscope, plus an hdmi out, live wallpaper, widgets, a soon google music store, and on. They both have their pros and cons but please be realistic, not a fanboy
Competition is very good. At&t is capped data. iphone is controlled . Don't believe the hype.
I'll tell you what I find interesting... the fact that pixel counting wasnt even a topic until Apple released iPhone 4. It's genius...now even a bigger screen doesnt mean anything bc now we're counting pixels hahaha Apple does a great job of just creating a trend. Let's be honest..most iPhone users wanted a bigger screen and a front facing camera...well you got the front facing camera. cool beans, but only over wi-fi and to other iPhone users..which kind of su cks but i know there will be plenty of other iPhone users for you guys to video chat with, though you might be inconvenienced by the wi-fi only option. And as far as the screen res. It's more of a justification than a feature in my eyes..."we wont give them a bigger screen buuuuut lets just add some pixels, call it something cool, and watch it take off"..which it did.
and to those who say specs and features dont matter..youre full of it. If they didnt, we'd still be talking on our nokias that look like our home phones.
one more thing...i still laughed at the spec sheet when I saw Flash: Never (for iPhone) hahaha
4.3" screen = better "experience"
To all android fanboys
Why do you find it necessary to come here and rant about things. I own both a iphone 4 and a nexus one at&t version, and love them both. I guess their are some people who have to try and make everyone that thinks different then them inferior. Just because the people here use iphones and I prefer the ios over android must of the time does mean its better. I know me ranting will not change anything but I'm just sick of coming there and over half the comments on a lot of the articles being the same garbage.

Seems like tipb.com must be redirecting to androidcentral.com with all these Fandroids. Please get a life and go away. What the hell do you expect coming to an iPhone site and trying to convince intelligent people that Android is better?
My spouse has a Droid and a G1 before that. Android is a cool concept but it certainly doesn't do it for me. She hates her Droid with all the voice quality and bugs causing pictures and text messages to disappear. I've never had any of those problems with my iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, or 4. Go figure!
@Phrint: You do know that androidcentral.com and tipb.com are run by the same company, right?
http://www.smartphoneexperts.com/
All you android fanboys have got to be kidding me. Every point you make is your own subjective BS its hilarious. I dont see the android specs being better. I dont see the OS being better. And for sure verizons crappy service and crappy coverage definitely isnt better. So why post your BS on an iPhone blog? For every point you make any one of us has a counter point to debunk your claim. Makes no sense.
many people are talking about that people who are using iphones only talking about “user experience” and nobody is actually giving one… well here’s the “user experience”:
1) it is based on mac os x so it is easy for mac users to understand it.
2) syncing for contacts, calendars: i never before iPhone people talking about syncing their contacts with pc, yaa only those people were using who are geeks or either working in a big company where they have enterprise servers… iPhone brought the syncing in an easier way and in a much easier way after they introduce MobileMe which can sync your data over the air… then there is idisk which is quite useful for small companies who wants to keep their documents also synced… before MobileMe you had to use enterprise service…
3) syncing media with itunes…music and video syncing is the best here as it will keep the data on your phone from itunes in a proper way with artwork syncing and all the other data’s… even apps and books can be synced so everything is from one place only…
still many things are there where android is making much much better progress compare to apple but you can’t say that apple is not good…
that is my user experience
@erja - Your point has nothing to do with my post. Of course I know both sites are part of the same company. I am just trying to wonder how all the idiots from Android Central are coming over here to bash the iPhone 4. Envy?
@ Kumar You are like the perfect example of why the iPhone sells. It's really alot of people that have little experience with a smartphone. People have been syncing data since palms and iPaqs were hot. And to the guy listing off features of the iPhone do you realize Android has had just about all of that before the iPhone 4? Build quality? Yellow spotches on screens, dropped signals when you touch the antenna and shattering screens after a couple of drops is build quality?
To the iFools. Nobody is trolling you. The article pitted the iPhone against some Android shines. The Andrioids are obviously better so don't get mad when passers by on the internet drop in and ruin your reality distorting field. Maybe here in this blog Apple is still ahead but in the real world they are behind. The fact that so many people dripped in here should tell you that people have caught on to Android.
Just returning the favor... ;)

To all android fanboys Why do you find it necessary to come here and rant about things.
What the heck? Why is the iPhone screen resolution listed as length x width (the standard way of doing it) but the android phones as width x length?
That makes no sense and makes it appear as if it is an attempt to obscure a direct comparison and make iPhone look better.
I don't understand why iphone users get so hot under the collar about the competition. I read all the sister sites to tipb to learn about innovative features for each platform.
Bottom line is google and apple are in competition on so many levels and being a programmer myself, google is like the United States after WW2, buying up and taking on the best of the best for whatever the cost maybe. Google already has better developers and it is only a matter of time before that trickles down to the OS on the device along with the features/capabilities. I know Apple had an innovative product when the first iphone was launched, but there has been little to no change of note since the first generation. I have to believe that Steve and his developers are short on ideas for many reasons, 1. underpaid 2. under appreciated 3. need a complete overhaul to come up with creative, fresh new ideas. Everyone on Crackberry.com wants a OS refresh, but Apple Fans follow blindly to what Apple says they want.
I went Droid for that reason alone. There is no limit to what droid gets, so there is no limit to what droid does. (Plus its linux based, the best of both worlds.)
@phrint: It just seemed like your comment indicated you had a perception of some sort of rivalry between these two sister sites as part of your paradigm of Apple > Android. In contrast, andriodcentral.com is directly linking to this comparison chart on tipb.com, thus the influx of traffic of Android fans commenting.
It's not envy motivating people to post, and I'm pretty sure you and others are smart enough to realize that. We here are just passionate nerds who are invested heavily emotionally and financially into our gadgets of choice, so we want to justify them to others :)
I am an Android user (because I like Verizon in my area) and the only problem I can see with the iPhone, for me, are screen size and the AT&T network. The rest can mostly be fixed by jailbreaking--which is simple to do.
i love the iPhone but these Android devices are mouth watering!
One poster summed it up well I think. Apple is for mom, dad and most people (who are not any of us nerds reading the article) and android is for power mobile users.
I own the iPhone 4. Being an original, first gen iPhone user, I find this upgrade to be a significant step up. That being said, if I were to choose between the Droid X and the iPhone 4, I would not hesitate in choosing the Droid X. The only reason I choose to keep the iPhone is because of the front-facing camera, the investment in apps over the years and my three years of accumulated roll-over minutes through AT&T.
Some friends will be ordering the Droid X and I will envy them from afar.
I'm wondering why this post stated the Droid x being the best on the planet, when the stats on the evo clearly state otherwise, and I don't even understand why the iPhone is even in the running, it doesn't even belong in the comparison.
And I'm sorry iPhone users but who is dumb enough to get ANY phone from a company that doesn't offer an unlimited data package. That's just not good business
When iphone came out touch screen phones were in their infancy. After iphone everything went touch screen; if it doesnt have a conductive screen then screw it. All of these phones have a 1ghz cpu, as for cam; 5mp is more than enough on a phone get over your fetish for numbers- lens quality is more important. Don't be pissed because apply makes products people like to use. The iphone display has a higher resolution, more free-flowing touch screen and to be honest most people will never use more than 200mb on a data plan, most people have wi-fi (if you don't then wtf are you doing in the 21st century) and also in reality 16 gb is a great amount of storage any way you cut it. And its nice to see android has gotten its first virus!
"And its nice to see android has gotten its first virus!" Every smartphone/computer system has its vulnerabilities...the Iphone has had several already. I have a captivate myself, and my gf has an iphone, they both have their pro and cons. I wouldn't go around calling iphone owners dumb...but sometimes people get tired of the fanboys dismissing every other device that's not an iphone...and downplaying specs when they aren't in favor of it...if the iphone's cam beat the others, it'd be the greatest thing ever...but since it doesn't, you say it doesn't matter..."FANBOY Mentality" .... fanboy example -- "16gb is all the storage I need, I don't need more like those other phones(iphone 4 32GB gets released) oh YEAH, take that, the iphone is better cause it's got more storage!" It's not the iphone we don't like, it's just the annoying fanboys (android has them too, but it's just software, not just one device)
I loved the Iphone. It was so good I actually forgot it was a cell. It also allowed taking videos and then breaking it down one frame at a time to capture individual pictures. I jumped to the Droid because it has the card, bigger size to see all the better, but the price monthly charge is questionable. As in life, it seems to be the royal question, "What is important for you?" Now I can upgrade in two weeks...I'm driving myself crazy..what to do, what to do????? Stop fighting because after you make a decision, it will probably be out dated two months after you buy your phone anyway!!! Alas, why do we waste our time???
