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.

adamsfence 06-07-2011 01:57 PM

adamsfence 06-07-2011 01:58 PM

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

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

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

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.

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

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