Iphone vs droid
 

alright i need honest opions. from people that know true difference not my ****** is bigger than yours.....

monday i get switched to verizon. im with centennial. i currently have a droid and i feel i can do what ever a iphone can do and most of my music and apps are free. plus with the switch over a new droid is free iphone is 200

So why is a iphone any better?

Because when your at your house in BFE you can connect to wifi and actually use the phone !!!

Man service is horrible on them. Verizon service might be better. It might just be AT&T. I have had every IPhone they make and I am really thinking hard about making the switch to Verizon from AT&T and possibly getting a DROID. The dropped calls and reception on mine is getting worse and worse by the day. I think I might just get an IPad and get rid of the IPhone b/c they really are awesome when they actually work. Only thing that worries me is on AT&T I have full service in the marsh and at my deer camp. i don't know if i will be able to do that with Verizon.

you can't make phone calls off of wifi you mullet i told you that.....and i can connect to wifi off my droid to use the apps. i have a booster at my house anyway now

I make calls off of wifi all the time mullet .........do you remember i called your house in front of you spoonbill!!! but i have never had a droid , but had service through verizon and it sucked ........ last couple months AT&T has been sucking to though!!

you made a call off of att not my wifi unless you was using skype or icall apps

the verizon service in my area will now be 3g and they say its going to be everywhere centenial was so it should be great i hope

As long as Verizon gets centennials towers and coverage, I'd stick with the Droid.....get the X, its badass! It is its own wifi hotspot! IPhone users That can't get a signal can use your phone to get online

this is the one they are giving me free i think im going to stick with droid at least for a year then i may upgrade to the iphone if i don't like it

I have an EVO with sprint but am changein to verizon in a few weeks and plan to get their version. I work with a guy that switched from I-Phone to the HTC and said he likes it way better due to the apps and he said he likes the program better. I am not sure about being able to talk and surf the web at same time on the droids but you give up somthin both ways since the I-Phone dont run flash, atleast I was told that.

The Droid operating system is much more user friendly......the 4 "buttons" on the face of the phone make all the difference in the world

just a tip for android users its free in the market.. download OPERA MINI BROWSER and use it as a widget for your internet and its quiccker than normal...bam its there...I PHONERS i think its not free unless its jail broke...just a tip..

opera is using proxy servers, it optimizes the page for your phone so it loads quicker. not all sites work on opera. I have found no browser , other than stock that is fast enough and stable enough for me.

. I myself have android(HTC EVO 4G rooted and running CyanogenMod7) Which is a totally different phone than came from factory.Phone companies give us a product, and we hack the **** out of it to make it something better than it was and expand its capabilities. That's the whole point of rooting/jailbreaking.


if you're gonna root/jailbreak and fiddle with the phone, get ANDROID..



oo with android you can switch roms, roms are like different distros of linux, or if you dont understand that...like we both have xboxes...but you only have one game, i have many....roms..

heres my phone with cyanogenmod7

and miui rom

if you plan to use the phone like any other,...get the iphone....both great phones, 1 is more for tech savvy people , and the other, for simple people

is there away to take a HTC EVO set up on Sprint and reset to work on Verizon? I am a simple man so please dont fry my brain...hehe

no, but there are other android phones already on verzon.HTC THUNDERBOLT, pretty much rebranded phone, even with 4g

nothing beats a 4.3 inch screen!!!

I have the EVO and absolutely love it. I've used the iPhone and have an iPod touch and I find that they are more like kids toys compared to a Droid. My wife even swapped over to a EVO and likes it. I have the mobile hotspot on mine which is pretty cool cuz I can turn it on and it pretty much becomes a wireless router. There are also more apps for Droid than iPhone now, at least that's what I read somewhere the other day.

well I guess i will be sellin my evo when i swap over, so if anyone has sprint and wants an evo thats been in a otter box since it left the store and will still be when sold send me a pm as i will be gettin rid of in first of july.....think i may cry i have close to $300 in this thing

ddont' head out too quick...evo 3d is coming out in a few weeks...plus sprint might very well get the iphone4gs

if you up for upgrade, radio shack will take your old evo and give you 100 credit towards the new evo 3d...199.00 -100.00=99.00 for evo3d...GTFOH

well i am switchin to verizon next month but wonder if i can trade this in and get the verizon phone like it for same deal

iPhone's are not better. People that have them are followers. Getting the EVO next week, super stoked about it.

lol...funny, sprint is offering the same thing but the other way!!!l..lol

if it's coverage you're wanting, because i doubt its the high phone bill, theres a hack you can do to make your evo use VERIZON towers. Sprint/Verizon already has the agreements so you probably bounce on their tower now, and not know it. With the hack, it makes your phone prefer Verizon, and if Sprint's signal is stronger, it chooses Sprint. In houma, Sprint 3g is -hit or miss..Verizon is pretty damn fast ...check the scores...i did the hack to my evo..

both identical phone, same spot, everything.....

i have the htc inspire and i can't complain about it at all. Just as quick as an iphone. The iphone 4s screen is brighter though.

My favorite thing about the droids is that you don't need itunes or any fancy program to put songs on/off. Just open up the phone and drag whatever music/pics/videos right onto it

x2, I don't have any songs on mine but I take alot of pics with it of my lil boy so it's nice to just be able to mount the phone to my computer as a hard drive and pull the pics off.

I like my Droid phone, but I am not liking Sprint. I went to Sprint after Rita to get better reception in lower Cameron Parish.
For some reason, their phone service started going down the tubes this past winter.
When I use the phone, it sometimes sounds like the person I am talking to is in a tin
can and it cuts out real bad. They said they don't see problems on their end, but my
dad, wife and sisters all have Sprint and have the same issue. So does some friends
who work not far from my house.
If they don't fix it soon, I am leaving Sprint.

Ray, everyone I know with sprint is having the some problems. I have to call a person several times for the reception to be decent.

Same issue in the Bluff. It started when they started to bring 3G to the area. Not Good!!!

I thought you were going fishing in the morning? Why you still up?

To excited!!!

Just seeing what I missed while on the road today.

I'm the same way...finally get to sleep at 1:30 to be up at 5.

up at 4 here

I've been with Verizon for two or three years. Love the service, very dependable with few dropped calls. I've been having a motorola droid almost a year, it's been rooted within a week of me getting it. Android have pros, but my next phone will be the iphone. My wife has the iphone 4 and it is head and shoulders above my phone in smoothness and consistency. The apps that are available on both platforms are generally better on the iphone. Itunes is a pain. Motorola has better reception than the iphone. Yes there are more things the android phones can do and they can view flash websites, but the consistency and smoothness of the iphone along with the excellent battery life are swinging me to apple. Another plus of the iphone is the Apple customer service. My wife dropped her phone in the washing machine last weekend. We ended up taking it to the Apple store in Baton Rouge after leaving it in a bag of rice for two days. We told them what happened and they replaced the phone for no charge. Needless to say I was pleased.

I called a bunch of times to Sprint about the issue with the scratchy and echoing phone calls and they told me they know they know they have a problem and are trying to fix it but dont know whats wrong or how to fix it. I just renewed my contract in January and it has gotten so bad that the last time I called the lady told me that it was not known how much longer it would be before the problem would get fixed but that I can get out of my new contract at no cost. My mom has Verizon and loves it but is moving out of the country for a job and I am gonna take her contract till January 2012 and if I don't like it i will do something else but this seems like a good deal for me.

If it ain't fixed by the time our contract is up with Sprint, we going somewhere else.
I think all the other companies towers are working down in the parish now anyway.

Update you prl. And pri and you mayneed to update radios also...if you're on everything plan..turn on roaming..its free

just call and complain abunch they will finnaly let you out, i did hear verizon has gotten better in camron area.

I have the HTC evo (android) and have it tweaked so service and usuability is unlike no other phone/service. I can honestly say this is the longest I ever had the same one phone for over a year...and although. I don't mind upgrading, I don't really see the need to, as of now. And that's something serious to say if you're a techy...for a dude in colloege...its the ultimate tool. Just for my major(electrician) there's countless apps related to electrician work and apps that help in my other classes.3g at home is faster ,at tomes, than my home DSL. I can do anything and everything on my phone that I can do on my laptop. Everything except burn CDs....but I can turn my computer on to burn a CD without touching the computer.....


Also..k have no use for my data cable now...only use to charge it

You have the ElectroDroid app? I downloaded it a few weeks back, it's pretty cool. It gives you all kinds of calculators for resistors, batteries, voltage, Ohm's Law and pin out diagrams for a bunch of cables which is what I mostly use it for being a computer tech.
I also use AndFTP, 2X Client, AndroWin, Dropbox and The Total Equipment Protection Plan app daily. I really like the TEP app because I have it set to back up all of my contacts every morning at 2 AM that way if ever I lose my phone all I have to do is download the app onto the new phone, sign in and it will download all of my contacts back onto the phone for me.

I saw the ohms law and resistor chart one. Going try the electodroid. Also doesn't gmail automatically back up contacts,email,and such? Astro is my favorite all around file manager and dropbox is the bomb diggity.also hacked the prl to run Verizon and unlocked the native hoptspot function.

Use jefit in the gymand 2 or 3 other internet radio

Runtasric to time, map,and keep run stats


Also sign up for Google music. Its still beta but it will elimnate the need for mp3s in your SD....cloud servers rock

Use NAVIONICS and marine weather on the boat.

Did I mention make most of my posts and pics/videos on saltycajun via phone

Navigation is spot on

Unlimited everything for 79 plus tax

Yea but I can't stand gmail so I use it as little as possible.
