iPhone or Droid

Which is better in your opinion?

Not the Reviewers statements


If possible try to back up your view


I want to see the overall consensus on this phone

[JoeFresco]

In my opinion, as a current iPhone 3G user about to go Android, the only reasons to go with the iPhone are...
1) The App store (can't beat it right now)
2) You want 32 GB in your phone now (though microsdhc cards should be available soon)
3) You have to use ATT for some reason (family/corporate plan/international travel -- though you'd have to jailbreak/unlock to use internationally)
4) You just want an iPhone
5) You like iTunes for management

A phone like the Droid or Moment, though...
1) much, much better 3G coverage
2) Keyboard
3) microSDHC slot for multiple storage options
4) potentially replacing the entire OS
5) Android -- background apps, replacement of primary apps, customization of everything
6) Google Navigation (for now, at least)
7) You shouldn't have to jailbreak/root to tether
8) I personally believe that in the long run (perhaps by the end of the contracts we're going to sign now), Android will overtake the iPhone OS in popularity.
9) easy battery replacement / multiple batteries

My iPhone is jailbroken and unlocked. I'm still running 3.0 because I'm nervous about jeapordizing that, and I don't want to lose the "official" tethering capability.

I think they are equals BUT I like the look/hardware and UI of the Droid way better. Droid just looks like a brute. Iphone is too sleek and "pretty"

Iphone is just too restrictive for me. I don't want Itunes, Ical, Ianything.

I know of at least 2-3 people that have the iphone and just don't like the phone itself. They said if apple wasn't so restrictive it would be a whole nother ball game. They said until that happens they are dropping the iphone for a droid (not necessarily the moto). It's interesting to see how many of my friends think that the iphone has become stale.

I am not a fan of the IPhone either, but it does do some things very well. These things the Droid will be very well too, and some of it better. I feel like the IPhone users are cult like. They love it (most fo them) and swear they wouldn't go back. Me for as nice looking as it is, it's just too restricted and too dependent on Apple. Bring on the Droid!

My cell phone is my primary line for work and I have 4 children in school from K1 to Sophmore. I need a phone that works all the time. AT&T coverage is pretty bad here. So the iPhone was never an option.

I have never owned a "smart phone" that I used to it's fullest. The Droid will be the first.

[New2u]

That seems to be a problem for quite a few users here, the coverage that is. I think apple did a disservice to itself by going with at&t, but i think they are the only ones that would allow for the crap that apple does (being as restrictive as it is).

I think there are a lot of reviewers that just like to look at the apple and droid in the easiest way possible.. through speed of internet and small tasks, they don't open it up for further assessment because alot of the stuff that the droid can do, the apple cannot. (well shouldn't say can't, should say restricted.)
