Better phone I-PHONE or DROID?

[El Diablo Blanco]

Looking to upgrade from crappy blackberry curve.  Email is great but that's about it.  I was thinking about the storm 2 as well but heard awful reviews about the keyboard.


Mods please leave for a couple of days before moving this thread.  Thanks

Wish i could compare, but i own the Droid and haven't owned the IPhone.



THat being said, i love the droid.  Super great phone.  30 mins of camera action!  Tons of apps etc.   GPS is really cool too..

Iphone slays almost anything out there, I have a blackberry bold and an iphone... the iphone is nuts, the amount of apps available for it is fucking ridiculous, it's the most intuitive thing to use ever invented, it's almost like it reads your mind, they virtual keyboard is awesome, I write texts and emails on it, wi-fi, web browsing , instant email (like blackberry) weather, etc. etc. etc.

Almost forgot best 2 options of iphone/ipod touch..  built in GPS + google maps/virtual earth
and you get a free built in ipod... also super crisp bright as hell display that doubles as a flashlight in the dark. (seriously, I've used it for this purpose.)

Iphone is probably the better of the two mostly since a lot of developers with MAC and Apple experience write APPS for the phone. You are better off getting an IPhone. Droid is very new and the kinks haven't been work out yet.


Mobility is my career..

True. Verizon will probably give the droids away when the Droid 2 comes out.

Ha, 2 nights ago, my power went out, and I used my iPhone as a flashlight.

[El Diablo Blanco]

I use my blackberry in the mornings as a flashlight to navigate to my car in the garage.  LOL.  There's actually a free flashlight app that gives you different colors.

I have a G1 that is similar to the droid, but I am waiting until the droid 2 or something like that before I switch. All my friends have Iphones and I still like my G1 better.

I can't even count the times I've used it as a flashlight, that screen is f*cking BRIGHT!

 Iphone = computer.
 You have know idea what you can do with the Iphone untill you jailbreak the Iphone.

I had an iPhone when I used AT&T, it was the best phone I have ever used, nothing compares.

I have to give it to apple, as much as I hate apple...the design and ingenuity that went into the iphone is nothing short of miraculous, never had a device this intuitive before, so well planned out, the way it responds to your movements/actions, even when the screen readjusts automatically when you switch from holding it vertically to horizontally is amazing, I love the thing, I use it to catch up on my email and nextday's weather when I'm lying in  bed falling asleep and don't feel like using the bigger bulkier laptop.

You may want to look at the Tilt2 as well. It is a Windows mobile PDA.. Great phone and internet rocks on the AT&T network. I am using the HTC fuze right now, but as soon as I can upgrade it is the Tilt2 or the Iphone.

Windows Mobile phones have a built in Internet Sharing program that can be easily unlocked to work without purchasing the tethering package so you can connect it to your laptop and surf from there.... For the Iphone to do this you have to stop a certain service each time and open a web browser and connect to Wap.cincular.com. Makes it very cumbersome to tell you the truth.

Iphone has the best Touch screen on the market as well. This is a big issue with all the Samsung touch screen phones that have not mastered the technology. wrong words spelled typos and all sorts of issues. Iphone rocks in this department.

Dude, my jaw dropped when I first tried the keyboard on my friend's iphone to send a text... it was flawless... and before I got one I'd been using Palm Treo's (touchscreen) for about 6 years, back to back from the 500's through the 600's all theway to the 700wx, the touchscreen on the palms is a goddamn disgrace compared to the iphone,  that thing is like MAGIC!!! I also tried a blackberry storm but just laughed at it in comparison to the iphone.

Htc dragon/passion will slay all when it's released. Give it another month and you will be blown away.

The only issue that i have with the iPhone is the battery doesnt retain its charge as long as the phones that i had in the past

Are you really surprised though!?! the thing is one big ass full color, bright as hell screen... I'd say it's pretty damn impressive compared to the batteries of 10 years ago, just charge yours overnight as your sleeping, that's what I do with all my phones.

[Hulkotron]

I have an iPhone and love it but must admit it is a bit homoerotic.

Also yes to a couple posts up, the battery doesn't hold a charge for more than a few days, but it also seems to charge up to a useable state very quickly.

i think the battery is just plain smaller. This gives the phone its light weight

I'll take that over my 1994 Motorola brick anyday.
