A few months ago, I got my first iPhone. Before that, I was using the Android Incredible (a phone very similar to the iPhone in that it is a sleek touch screen smart phone).
Moving from an Android to an iPhone was not as easy a transition as you might think.
When I got the Incredible in the spring of 2009, the iPhone 3S was scheduled to be released for AT&T, but Apple had yet to partner with Verizon, my carrier of choice. I wasn’t willing to leave Verizon, and after reading some articles on Engadget and PCWorld (didn’t know I was that much of a geek, did ya?) I decided that while the iPhone might be the crème de la crème of smartphones, Android was doing a fair job of providing some stiff competition. So I eagerly ordered my Incredible and entered the world of smartphone users (I was switching after using a Blackberry for a couple of years and a Palm Pre Plus for a few months.)
I was delighted with my new Android smartphone. My techie husband pointed out some of the features that I might have otherwise missed, and I learned how to get the most out of my new gadget. Learning to type on a touch screen was a bit of a challenge, but I soon had the hang of it, and I loved the web browsing and the ease of use.
The thing I loved the most about my Android device was the free voice-led navigation by Google Maps and the Siri-like voice activation feature that was way ahead of its time (or at least Apple’s time, heh.) I also loved how well it integrated with my multiple Gmail accounts and Google apps — which I use often.
Soon the iPhone came to Verizon, but I looked at them with indifference. I knew that I had a great phone, and while it wasn’t quite as pretty or as trendy as the iPhone, I relied too heavily on the navigation app to really consider switching.
So, what changed?
The the iPhone 4 was released in the summer of 2010, and it quickly started showing up in the hands of my tech-savvy friends.
Is it okay to think an electronic device is beautiful?
I loved the 4th generation redesign, and I started looking at the iPhone in a new light. In social media circles, the iPhone is simply the smartphone to have. And I’ll be honest, it’s hard to eschew that culture forever.
And honestly, it IS a pretty phone.
When the 4S debuted, the contract on my Incredible was almost up for renewal, and I was ready for a new toy. (Hey you know me, I like to call a spade a spade.)
For about two weeks, I found a reason to stop into every Verizon store I passed. (It didn’t help that I was shopping for a phone for my son’s birthday present.) I would stroke the pretty iPhones and gaze at them longingly. Then with great sorrow I would put them back down and walk away . . .
Until finally I was in a store where the salesguy made me an offer that I couldn’t refuse. He offered me $72 for my Incredible on a trade-in, and that sealed the deal. I ordered my pretty white iPhone 4S and waited anxiously for it to arrive.
When I made the switch, I got all the anticipated remarks . . .
YOU WILL LOVE IT!
IT’S ABOUT TIME!
YOU’LL NEVER GO BACK!
Which just made me want to poke my eyes out with a dull object. People are so brainwashed by the Apple culture. And hear me, y’all. THIS is from the girl with two Apple computers and two iPods (and that doesn’t include my husband’s two MacBooks, his iPad and my son’s iPod Shuffle.) I am a fan of Apple. I AM. But the iPhone is NOT the only good smartphone out there.
In fact, it’s not even the best.
BUT IT IS DEFINITELY THE PRETTIEST.
Here’s my take on the issue.
iPhone 4S vs Android Incredible | A Comparison
Navigation
Android has, hands down, the best free built-in navigation. You get Google Maps with voice-activated directions (basically it’s a built in GPS) and it’s fantastic. There is no app, built-in, or for purchase, that comes anywhere NEAR the quality of the one that comes on Android phones. END. OF. STORY. If you’ve never had an Android phone, don’t EVEN try to tell me that you can find a comparable app. YOU CAN’T.
And also? You could speak to it, and it would take you where you want to go — SO much quicker and safer than trying to type it in when you’re driving. (Don’t even try and tell me you haven’t tried to do that. For the record. I do pull over. But my point is, with the Incredible, I didn’t have to.)
I stand corrected. You can speak to it. WOOHOO!!!
In all fairness, I knew what I was giving up when I made the switch. And I have to believe that the iPhone will catch up sometime. Meanwhile, I have tried several apps and the one I prefer is WAZE. It is FREE. And it talks to you like a regular GPS (the built-in MapQuest app does not, as far as I know.) It does a pretty good job avoiding traffic and choosing the correct route. And it is actually a community, not just a GPS app, which is kind of nifty.
Touch Screen
When it comes to the touch screen, Apple wins. Even articles that I read in techie publications that love Android phones will admit that for some reason, the iPhone screen is more accurate, even though it’s considerably smaller than the newest Android offerings. And the quality of the graphics are gorgeous too. (I personally prefer a smaller phone, and while the Incredible was a nice size, most new Androids are HUGE. They seem much more suited for a man’s hands than mine.)
Voice Recognition
All the hoopla about Siri is just that — hoopla. This is another example of how Android was and still is WAY ahead of Apple (with all due respect to the brilliance of Steve Jobs). The voice recognition works MUCH better on the Android phones I’ve used (my Incredible and my husband’s Droid X.) Siri has been nothing but a disappointment to me. The only area in which I do find her to be somewhat accurate is in sending reminders. I love the reminders feature on my iPhone.
Notifications
Suck on iPhone and are fabulous on Android. I just finally turned off my notifications on my iPhone, it was so annoying after I was accustomed to Android’s. Android allowed so much more customization, and you could do it within each app, without having to go back to the Settings for everything. Android is simply a much smarter phone when it comes to notifications.
Gmail & Google Docs
I realize that not everyone relies on Gmail like I do, but I have multiple accounts that I use regularly. I also live by my Google Docs. Because Android is a Google device, it is no great surprise that it integrates much better with Google Docs than the iPhone.
The iPhone has as Gmail app that is decent. I was already familiar with it from my iPod Touch, and I’m glad that I was because the adjustment period was fairly short.
My biggest complaint about Gmail on iPhone is that it does not allow you to be logged into more than one Gmail account (you can when using the iPhone email app, but then you don’t get the features of Gmail that you are used to — and you can’t set different notifications for each account. See the section on Notifications above.) My solution was to use the Gmail app for one Gmail account and the iPhone email app for the other Gmail account. It’s a lame workaround, but it does the trick. (NOTE: the all powerful iPhone should not require lame workarounds.)
Usability
If you are new to the world of smartphones, and especially if you aren’t particularly tech-savvy, you are going to love the iPhone. It’s intuitive and easy to use. BUT. If you have had an Android, which is so much smarter in many ways than the iPhone, then you will probably be frustrated by the iPhone. That said, after using it for almost three months, I have adjusted.
Camera
Every phone is different, so I can only speak to my iPhone 4S and the Android Incredible that I formerly carried, but I believe the iPhone has the better camera. In fact, everything I read declares the iPhone camera the winner by a mile.
And that reversible camera feature is just too. cool. for. school. In fact, THAT ALONE is worth dealing with any frustration that came from switching from Android to iPhone.
PLUS. It has Instagr.am. And you KNOW how I love my Instagr.am. (Of course NOW I hear that Instagr.am is coming to Android. So. phhbbblt.)
Social Networking
I’ll call this a draw. I had to get used to the new apps on the iPhone, but I’m happy with them. I use Twitter and Facebook a lot, and at first I would get frustrated, and finally I figured out how to do everything I wanted to. I will add that I don’t think the iPhone is as intuitive as you might expect when it comes to their Twitter app, but that may only be because I was used to the app I was using on the Incredible.
Speed
Um. Android has 4G. iPhone doesn’t yet. Nuff said.
Although, if you live in East Jabip like I do, you probably can’t get 4G service anyway.
Music
I forgot about this until I got some comments about it. I’ve been using iTunes for years so now I can finally have my music on my phone. (I know there were workarounds for other phones but I never bothered to figure it out.) That was actually one reason why I wanted to switch to the iPhone. I don’t have an iPad and have no plans to get one, so when I travel I often brought my iPod Touch along with me for the music. Now I have it all in one place.
I was also running with my iPod Shuffle, but now I bring my iPhone with me, and I have my music AND my phone for safety AS WELL AS the running apps that I have discovered. Love that. (I realize that I could have removed the DRM from my music and synced it with my Incredible, and I’m sure they have running apps, so I know this isn’t REALLY a huge plus for the iPhone, but it is in my book, simply because I’m lazy and this was a simple solution.
In Summary
To put it in terms we can all relate to . . .
The iPhone is the pretty one, and the Android is the smart one.
There is some cross-over, for sure. I love the camera on the iPhone. It is plenty fast for my needs, it does what I need it to do, and I enjoy the aesthetics. I miss the navigation on my Incredible, and I had to adjust to not having the notifications as I found them too cumbersome to bother with on the iPhone. (I can’t say I miss them.)
All in all, I’m happy with my trade. I think I’ll keep it.
Update: I did not address battery life, as I don’t think it is fair to compare battery life between an old phone and a new one. However, my iPhone DOES have an impressive battery life. Of course, you cannot carry an extra battery and change it out, as I could with my Incredible. But I do have the Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargable Battery that I will use when I’m at conferences and other events where I use it hard and may need to recharge before the end of the day.
Ok so I’ve never had a Droid, but I love my iPhone so I have nothing to measure it against. The other feature I think makes the iPhone great is the app store-it’s easy to find apps, and there is just a great selection to be found that are only available on iPhone.
I think it’s like anything else. You get used to something, and it’s hard to adjust your thinking. At least I am that way. When I think of Steve Wozniak going back and forth between iPhone and Android, it makes my head hurt. I guess that’s why he is brilliant and I’m . . . NOT. lol
I have an iPhone for work and a 4G Samsung for personal use. And I have to agree with everything you’ve said here (though, my Samsung has the reversible camera, which is pretty cool.) If I had to choose just one phone, I’d stick with my 4G phone. Even after having the iPhone for several months, I’m not a convert.
Verrrry interesting!
Are you a Mac or a PC?
Because I disliked my Android in the same way I dislike my husband’s PC. It seemed to have too many menus and things that were supposed to be user-friendly but not.
I love my iPhone. The only thing I miss is that you can backspace character by character on the droid.
ARGH! Add THAT to my frustrations too. I forgot that. I am a Mac girl. All the way. That is why I was surprised I didn’t LOVE the iPhone.
I agree that people get a little too excited about Apple products just because they are from Apple. And if i had to choose between having a smart friend and a pretty one, I’d choose the smart one. I’m evn more solidly in the Android camp now.
Glad to read this from someone who used a Droid. I can get a new phone in November I think and thought it might be a good time to switch to the iphone but I am not totally sure yet.
I really do enjoy it. But it took some getting used to. If I could just get that voice-activated and voice-led Google navigation on my iPhone, the rest doesn’t bother me at all.
Love my Droid! And I just got the new Razr — and oh my stars!! Love it. And yes, I love my Macbook pro, too. But I’m a Droid girl ALL THE WAY when it comes to phones.
See, I looked at that, and for me, I felt like it was HUGE. But it is clearly a SWEET phone.
Love my iPhone, its my second and it makes me so very happy:-) Never had a droid, so not sure if I’d feel differently if I’d had one previously. We have 3 iPhones in our home and we all love them.
I still solidly disagree. Granted, the I didn’t have the Incredible. I had one that wasn’t incredible. I called it my “not-so-smartphone.” Because it wasn’t. With so many different Android phones out there, it’s really apples and oranges and iphones.
Yeah, your droid didn’t even resemble the droids of today.
I agree with you on almost all the points. I wasn’t a person that would use the navigation enough that it bothers me not having it on the iPhone – and I’m with you on the Gmail workaround as well. But I do like the fact that I don’t have to pay to have a 2nd work email on my iPhone (vs Android which I did) – just because of the systems that my offices uses. (For the record, I never did pay the $20+ for the app on Android, even though my boss kept asking me to.)
The one thing that you don’t cover is battery life. I know every phone is different – and maybe it’s because of the apps I was running on the Android before – but the iPhone HANDS DOWN has a better battery life. I used to have to charge my phone at least 1 time in the middle of the day in addition to my over-night charge time. If I’m not using my phone on a regular basis throughout the day, the apps don’t run the battery life down at all.
Not to mention that I am going to be able to drop my text plan from the $20/mo unlimited to the $10/ 500 text message plan… just because of the iMessage feature from iPhone user to iPhone users. No more getting charged for text messages for all my friends that have them!
You’re right. I did leave out battery life. I kinda forgot about it, but my iPhone definitely has better battery life than my Incredible did, although when I got it, it was better. I think it’s hard to compare battery life between an old phone and a new one so I just left that out. But now that you mention it, I have been thrilled with the battery life on my iPhone. I still got a Mobie case for it, so when I’m at conferences and things and using it hard, I can get thru the day. But I may not even need it!
For me the Google Maps turn by turn nav on my Android is the deal breaker. I cannot, and WILL NOT, switch to a phone that doesn’t let me use this feature. I used it daily, if not multiple times a day, and freak out on the off chance that Google does an upgrade that jacks things up.
I don’t really care that the iPhone is prettier, my My Touch Slide has a real keyboard and a touch screen keyboard, Google Maps, and the genius button… which was Siri before Siri was born.
Now if only Instagram would launch their Android app I’d be sold forever!
Yep. Nail on head. Still, I like my pretty phone.
And I like having my music on it, which is something I forgot to add in my review. In fact, I need to add that. It was a huge reason why I switched!
Hi Jo-Lynne,
Just a couple of items –
I use Waze too (non paid) and I speak my destinations all the time. I hit Navigation, tap the mic key and speak. Street address and zip is all I say and it gets it right.
I agree about backspacing, although, I have gotten used to holding down on a spot on the screen where I want the curser to be and I get the nice magnifying glass which helps me place it exactly where I want it. I too had a Droid X and most recently had a Bionic both of which I really liked . . . . until I got a 4S. I’m a techie like your hubby – in fact I work with that slacker ; ) – and I never thought I would love an Apple product but I have been somewhat converted. I like your take on the two products and plan on taking a closer look at the issues you have with notifications. It was definitely one of the more noticeable changes. I think for me it comes down to simplicity. I loved the Android phone because I could customize it to the smallest details. I love the iPhone for how easy it is to do most of what I do. OK I’m ready for it. Someone tell me it’s because I don’t know how to do it faster on the Android! : ) See you at the Christmas party!
Ooooh I’m so excited about speaking my destination into Waze! I kinda had a feeling it ought to work but I didn’t experiment enough to figure it out.
See, I didn’t find the iPhone so easy, but I think it’s b/c I kept wanting to do things they way I was used to on the Android phone. I’m used to it now though. I definitely think the iPhone is perfect for people who are new to the whole smartphone thing.
I switched in December from Android to the iPhone 4s as well and thought I would be WAY more impressed than I am. We have similar opinions- I detest the navigation feature for google maps compared to how spoiled I was by my droid.
I love the camera and I love me some instagram! Siri is great at reminding me of things but not all she was cracked up to be.
I like my iPhone but I don’t love it like I thought it would (I have found some really cute cases for it though
Yeah, that sort of sums it up for me too. Like it, don’t love it, but enjoy the variety of accessories and things.
I hate the twitter apps for iPhone. It’s a big part of the reason that I really don’t tweet much anymore. The twitter apps for my blackberry were way better. Funny, I used ubersocial for the blackberry and loved it but HATE ubersocial for the iPhone…
LOVED Uber Social for Blackberry!
I am a Droid lover, also! I got my iphone in October, and still don’t love it! Droid is my favorite, hands down.
I switched from the Incredible to the 4S in November. I never did get my navigation to work properly on the Droid so I wasn’t hooked to it! I love my Iphone simply because I also have the Ipad 2 (the only Apple products I own!) and they work together beautifully. I do think the Iphone is more user friendly than the Droid but I don’t like the fact that I can’t change my calendar to be more like an agenda that will pop up my schedule on my home screen like my Droid did….
Overall, I am happy with it! Would I go back to a non-apple phone?? Probably some day!
Great comparison!
I personally hate all things Apple. Just not a fan. I refuse to even let iTunes be installed on my laptop.
Having said that, I know plenty of people swoon over the iPhone, but I really do love my Droid. I have the Droid 2 Global which has the slide-out keyboard, so no onscreen woes.
The one thing that I *do* think Apple rocks? Their accessories. It seems all the “cool stuff” is made for the iPhone, and not so many for the Droid, likely because there are just so many variations.
My sister is in the market for a new phone. I’m going to have to send her this way. Thanks for putting this together so concisely.
Yep. I do enjoy the accessories! ONe of the reasons I wanted one. I’m a girly-girl at heart, what can I say? lol
I have an Incredible now and have been thinking of switching to the iPhone. What you’ve said here helps so much! Thanks! Great post!
So… what’s the verdict?
Now I’m more confused than ever, haha! I am going to read all of the comments in hopes that someone will guide and direct this poor, pitiful soul…
Haha. I think it really depends on the features that matter most to you. My friend got an Incredible the same time I did, and she recently updated to the Incredible 2. She loves it.
I recently went from the iPhone 3G to an Android My Touch 4G. Yes, my iPhone was prettier, but BOY was it S-L-O-W. I love the speed of my MyTouch, but it tends to lock up….when receiving CALLS. Kind of a bad time for a phone to freeze. I love the apps available for Android, and I agree that navigation is fantastic. I am SO happy to hear that Instagram is finally coming to Android. I really have missed it (of course, I’m using a run-around and sending pics to my iPad, but it just isn’t the same).
All in all, I am VERY happy with the switch to Android, although I would probably feel differently if I had the latest iPhone. I’m comparing a brand new Android to an OLD iPhone…
Also, I am missing the accessories that are available for iPhones. That’s one thing that other phone models just can’t beat.
Still, a week or so ago, I dropped my practically new MyTouch off a balcony to a pool deck 10 feet below. It survived with nothing more than a corner dent. It was amazing. Speaks well to the MyTouch.
Yes, AND I have scratched the face of my iPhone already and I NEVER had any scratches on my old phone. SO MAD. I didn’t even drop it. I am SO careful with my phone. In fact, the guy at the store couldn’t believe the condition of my Incredible when I traded it in. I didn’t have it in a case, no screen protector, nothing. I have a small case on my iPhone, but took the screen protector off b/c I didn’t like the feel of it, and my husband promised me it was the same glass as on my Incredible, and I still have managed to knick it. URGH.
All that to say. Yeah, not as durable.
Thanks so much for writing this it’s been really helpful! I am up for a new phone in Feb and I have been going back and forth for months over which. I am ALL Apple products here at home with 1 PC to collect dirt. But still undecided :0
I think you should get the iPhone. You will love it.
Pretty vs smart? hmm that has been the battle for generations. LOL. I love my iPhone. I live in a house of disgruntled droid users. From lack of service to cumbersome apps, Team Jay is fed up. I would not give up my iPhone for anything. I love the cloud feature which allows me to sync with my home computer. Then there is my music. AHHH! I have over 1000 albums in iTunes. Love rocking out! AND I can talk while surfing or texting? Priceless!
Yes, thanks for reminding me! The music was a big reason I wanted to switch. LOVE having that on there. Love that I can take it with me on my runs and have music AND my phone with me for safety. Love that I don’t need two hand-held devices when I travel. I need to add this to my review!
what got you believing the iphone isn’t smart? you guys have already listed a number of things an iphone does that the uglies can’t? it’s what you get used to.
so it’s more smart and pretty vs smart. isnt it?
i use my iphone rough. no scratches yet. (since one and a half year)
Granted, I went from a Razor (a pink FLIP razor) to the iPhone 3G and then on to the iPhone 4, so the only “smart” phone I’ve ever had is the iPhone, but man, I can’t imagine there is one other product out there that can beat it. In fact, I would go as far to say that the iPhone is hands-down (ha!) the coolest invention of my time.
1. I don’t use maps enough to need the ‘talk to me navigation”, which probably explains why I am forever going the wrong way down a one-way street, so I can’t comment on that. I will say I missed a turn one time and went 55 minutes out of the way. The iPhone got me back on track once it dawned on me that I had the feature on the phone.
2. With a husband that travels EXTENSIVELY, the FACETIME alone, would be worth the investment to me. When he was deployed, we relied on SKYPE which was often undependable and downright worthless, but Facetime is so easy and wonderful and great and oh look here’s daddy!
3. The camera on the 4 is SOOO much better than it was on the 3. I have taken plenty of pictures with my phone that rival the ones I take with my DSLR. (To be fair though, I have taken plenty of pictures that were out of focus because I moved ever so slightly. I guess I’m saying the capability for great photos is there.)
4. The iMessage thing has saved me approximately $50.00 per month in text messaging. Not sure if the Droid has that, but I was glad to see it come Apple’s way. (McDaddy was too!)
5. I guess I’m not understand the whole notification thing. If it weren’t for the notifications on my phone, I’d miss 78% of where I’m supposed to be when I’m supposed to be there. Have no idea where I’d be if I lost my phone.
6. And finally, (can you believe I’m going to end a list on #6?) I have not met Siri because I am usually a generation behind, but I think the two of us will be fast friends because holy crap MY PHONE WILL TALK TO ME. =)
Enjoyed the post.
But I wouldn’t give up my spot in the iCult, er Club for nothin.
Yikes… *whipsering* ….
I didn’t mean to write a book.
Oops.
You. Are. HILARIOUS. xo
You know, I thought about linking Julie to this, but thought better of it. I see she wandered over here all by herself.
So, uh, Julie? Which phone would you recommend?
OK I decided LOL! the iphone it is. These comments helped! I really like the fact that it will talk nicely to my Mac’s. Huge importance for me.
Definitely the right decision. You’ll be in heaven, esp with the 4s.
I just switched in December from a Droid X to the 4s, and I’m in complete agreement with all the things you mentioned that I care about. I had NO idea about the talking GPS (actually, one of the reasons I switched was b/c the last upgrade for the Droid completely screwed my GPS up and when they fixed it, they couldn’t figure out how to get my mail server set up so that I could send emails…since I knew I was switching at the end of December, I just dealt with it). I hate the navigation on the 4s too, and I use it a lot with my business. I will have to check out the app you mentioned. As for Siri, more often than not she is “unable to assist me at the present time.” Grrrr!
Yeah, Siri is a joke. I have been seriously underwhelmed. I expected so much more with all the hype.
Definitely check out Waze. You’ll like it I think. It takes some getting used to, but it’s pretty easy to use.
I have the HTC HD7 Windows phone with T-Mobile. My husband won’t let Apple producct into the house, it’s Windows all the way. I personally would LOVE to get my hands on an Ipad for the kids. I love my phone, but then again I went from a simple trac phone to this fancy smart phone.
Oh, and we only went with T-Mobile instead of Verizon because at the time Verizon didn’t have a Windows phone.
I actually got to try out a Windows Phone for a few weeks, and it is a nice product. There were a few really weird things it would not do, though, that I was used to doing. Like checking Facebook Groups (I moderate one so I need to be able to check it) and a couple of other silly things. I even emailed with my rep to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Still, it is a really nice device, and if you aren’t used to having those features on a prior phone, you wouldn’t miss them.
I had to read this after spending 30 minutes trying to resolve an Exchange issue I’ve had on my iPhone 4 after updating to the iOS 5 several months ago. I was deleting accounts and adding accounts and trying to get my calendar synced again and was ready to throw my phone across the room! Now it all works.
My FIL had a Droid but he got himself the 4s for Christmas. I don’t know how much he uses the camera and I’m not sure what prompted him to change, really. Travis has the 4s and I am jealous of the better camera but I don’t need Siri. I rarely use navigation apps, but when I do I use the free Mapquest app and just enter my destination before I start driving. So far it has worked for me.
I would have hated carrying around a phone and a Touch! I would have switched for that alone! And of course Instagram.
I like the look of the Samsung Galaxy but I’ll be keeping my iPhone. It works well enough for me.
Very interesting comparison. I have to say, Siri totally disappointed me! Out of 100 times I’ve tried it, only 2 times have worked. I agree, too, the GPS stinks. I’ve only had an iphone, and upgraded when the new one came out. It wasn’t all that different, I was pretty disappointed! Perhaps I should have tried the Android?
Your article comes at the perfect time as I am about to switch over to the droid and the Verizon network (long story). I was having anxiety about it but I am so glad to read that as far as smartness and some of the features I will need that the droid is the way to go. Thank you.
Quick question is there any easy way to move over you contacts and information between the two phones or will I need to start over from scratch and reenter everything?
Incredible post! LOL. I refused to give up my Verizon account and great service for the I-phone when it was time for a swtich last year, so I got the Indredible. I’m pretty darn happy with it although I feel that after reading this I’m not taking advantage of all its potential. Since both of my boys now have I-phones and one just used my upgrade, it makes me feel better about the fact that I can’t get an I-phone until the next available upgrade if I do at all. Thanks for the great info and for setting the record straight/
I have an I touch that I love and I always thought I would go for the I Phone but with us being Sprint carriers it wasn’t possible, up until recently. I got a new Samsung Galaxy S 2 which has 4G and a 8 mega pix. camera that take amazing pictures. The screen is huge so I can even read books on it and it’s super easy for Social Media. I have to say this is the first phone that I’ve had that I can easily upload all my different email addresses and check my mail in a second. So would I go to a I Phone now that Sprint has it….not sure! I do wish I have the Siri
I have a Droid, an LG Ally, which I love though I admit to not taking advantage of everything the phone has to offer. Mine has a slide out keyboard which I prefer to the touch screen (I also have an iPod Touch). I love the GPS Navigation. I love the apps that I have like Evernote. I love that my beloved Google email is always there.
However, I don’t love the lack of storage. I’m forever having to clean my email out to create more room on the phone. There’s no easy way to clean out the email except by deleting the account and then putting it back in again.
My contract is up in August. I’ve been debating about the iPhone. I wouldn’t mind going for a bigger phone physically if I got all the features that I wanted, after all, it would save me the expense of an iPad.
I agree to everything you said but personaly i love my droid i know i know i am tech savvy i actulay work for technology i always have the best newest things right when they first come out and i have both a droid and an iphone but to be truthful through out all of the things that i have had the iphone is DEFENATELY NOT the best ive seen and you will see that soon…….
suspense……
