From my personal blog "iphone vs Droid ... NOT!"

I have to agree with alot of your post. As a former iphone user, I will admit that there are so apps I miss and the ipod set up was great. Heck I even sort of like the the itunes store a little better. But as far as the device the iphone is a solid smart phone that does what it is meant to do. It is meant to be simple and do things well. You do not need a class on the iphone. The droid id the opposite. No you do not need a class for the basic functionality of the droid, but to tweak the device it does require some learning.
I like the things the droid can do and the fact that every month I can add a different rom or feature if I choose. The iphone has the app store that is it. But some people do not care about playing with their phones as far as hacking. So the iphone is perfect, its simple, a nice computer, and some time work as a phone.
There are people who love the device, and some who if it came to verizon would switch in a heartbeat because that is what they like.
They are both good devices, I just prefer the droid/ android os.

 

^ what you both said! Well said!

 

Great write-up! I liked all of your statements they were all very true. One question. What is Shameless Plug? it is not on the Market.

 

U know whats amazing about the Droid or Android....I got the Droid specifically for free turn-by-turn GPS...

Android is so amazing I totally forgot thats why I wanted it in the first place...and I have used a few times in the last few months...

yes the homescreens...at first I didnt think I would need more than 2. Now....I have apps and widgets on just about all 7 homescreens, organized somewhat by type.

Flash and the battery points.....lol I will even be nice and call it even about Flash if debating an iPhone user with claims it slows down browsing and heats up the phone...but the battery thing....that is too funny....

I have the battery charger that charges 2 batteries at the same time: one in the phone and one in the charger. A thing of beauty for trying ROMs and having no juice to install it. Just pop in the spare battery thats always charged up....

 

Sigh...

Better is always subjective. When it comes to smartphones better only means "better suited". One size will never fit all.

The Droid can have infinitely better capabilities but that doesn't mean that it's better suited for everyone. That's why opinions, perspectives and differing needs/wants matter. It's only the fanboys that blindly argue that one option is always better than the other for everyone out there. It's a tired approach no matter how you try to reason things out or present specs as evidence of superiority.

There are always two sides to these matters: what the device is capable of and what the user needs/wants. Fanboys always overlook the latter. Meaningful discussions, on the other hand, always consider both.

It seems hypocritical to me to lambast others from tagging their comparisons with something indicating that it's just their opinion when you start your own rant with "My honest opinion".

 

Excellent.

 

Strongest argument people have for what iPhones can do that androids cant is they can use iphone apps. There are some cool apps that are not available for android, such as Plants vs Zombies. BTW if someone makes a port of that, I'll love you forever
