Iphone or Droid

Hey All

That time again of the week. Whihc should I get. This will be mainly for work and accessing emails
and that is the biggest thing I will be using it for. I dont care about music as I would use Pandora or
any of the other free internet radio stuff. I think I could even access Sirius on it
and rock out to that when I feel like it. Movies, well thats what i have a TV for.
So all in all based on the work use, what would you folks recommend?????

ETA: Holding out til whenever the Iphone 5 comes out is not an option.

Hold out for the iphone5, heard it coming out in September.

iPhone. Android is good, however I find them just to configurable to the point you have know idea what's running in the background draining your battery. I just find iPhones to be much simpler to operate and understand, not to mention the best looking screen out there. I'm sure this thread will get quite
long!,,,,

^This.
I have had Crackberrys, Driods, And the phone I most enjoy is my iphone. It could be because we have a ton of itunes stuff but it also has been the most stable and I feel is the most user friendly of of them all.

I'm a mobile device admin and I work the phones daily. I use to favor the android os over the ios, however i believe that the iPhone is a better choice. I believe the battery life is the number one reason. Nothing like having a dead phone and needing to access work emails.... Some of the newer androids have better batteries however I find the os to unstable if you are using this for work.

Android, most of the apps are free.

I would at one point have said Android.

However, now it seems they keep adding more and more bullshit apps to your phone that you CAN NOT get rid of..

They're constantly running and trying to update themselves. Things I'll never use.

Having had both now... I fondle my Motorola Razr MAXX frequently and I do not see the issues with battery life.
its called a cable... plug in at the office and in the car and you are fine.

I honestly saw more battery issues with the iphone4

the Razr plays all apples AAC formats

Quote:

---

Playable formats AAC , AAC+ , AMR NB , eAAC+ , H.263 , H.264 , MIDI , MP3 , MPEG-4 , WAV , WMA10 , WMA9 , WMA v9

my Razr has a expandable storage using Micro SD Card.
32GB of music and video + the internal storage of 16GB

Memory 15 16 GB internal; 16 GB microSD card pre-installed

I once hard raging wood for the iPhone

until they make one out of KEVLAR (tm)

CONSTRUCTION: UNBEATABLE STRENGTH

Seriously thin, DROID RAZR MAXX is the exact opposite of frail. It’s made strong with DuPont™ KEVLAR® fiber, while Corning® Gorilla® Glass defends the screen against scratches and scrapes. A force field of water-repellent nanoparticles shields the phone against water attacks — even the electrical boards inside.

so when it comes down to it... I have stopped drinking Apple Cool-aide



I Guess you could say That when comparing Apples to Gingerbread... the Gingerbread man won


:D

DROID, just not the bionic. Screen size is awesome. Most apps are free. Faster speeds then iphone when standing next to them. Iphones are cute little devices for princesses [ROFL1] unless your into glittery cases?

Droid here, just because Tmobile doesn't offer the Iphone

Internet on it is fast though

iPhone, and wait for the five. I am in month six with my current droid and again it is slower than a landline. This is my fourth droid and each one makes it to six months then nose dives. Planned obsolescence should not mean self-destruct.

I'm an iPhone guy. Had one for a few years now, plan on getting the new one when it comes out if I like it better than the 4S I have now.
That said, the Droid has an app store for porn. I'm sure Ronin would know the name of it.

Iphone calls those ios updates

[ROFL1]

I really like my droid X. although it is about 2 years old, so I know there are lots of bigger better and faster ones out there now...but it works great and I can get on whatever i want on the internet.

I will consider the Iphone when I am ready to swap over. honestly I just really want the magpul case![Tooth]

forgot to mention...the one thing that really holds me back from apple...batteries. I always have a couple extra batteries and I don't think you can swap them on the iphone.

iphone, my family has 3, 4 of my friends went with droids, all but one has switched to apple. and have all 4 told me they wish they would of took my advice. I started with the 4 when verizon got it, my son has my old 4, the wife and I have the 4s and none of them have ever gave any trouble to us as far as battery life I use the crap out of mine all day long, unplug it at 04:30 and plug it in when I go to bed around 22:00 and it is still at least 15-20% and most of the time over 40% left.

I personally prefer Android.

BUT...

The best thing to do is to go fondle both, twist some knobs, and see which one you like best. As you can tell from the comments, different people like different things for different (or sometimes the same) reasons.

My thoughts exactly. I have a rezound and like it a lot.

I'm still on an old Blackberry... Watching this thread and looks like the iPhone has the edge. Too bad the unlocked one (for T-mobile) is so damn expensive.

I use an iPhone 4s. I'm able to do quite a bit with it, and some stuff is retardedly easy. Like connecting to a VPN is super easy. Also you can run several email accounts on it without much trouble. I've also been able to run flash on it, and onion routing without any trouble at all. Yeah I have a few gripes with it, but overall I'm very happy with it.

I've been very happy with my i-phone. I'm looking forward to the 5 when it comes out. That'll give me an excuse to ditch the d-bags at AT&T.

I say go with the i-phone.

before the great crash there was a survey out and the droid was winning something like 45% 38% 7% with the 7 being other phones. I personally like the droid. I cant drink the apple koolaid and them seeming to be holding back on there product for the next update. I feel that anything that the iPhone can do a droid can do it better.

plus look at all the iPhone users wanting/needing to update ASAP you get caught up in that cycle and you will be dropping 200 bucks every year or so

I love when droid followers bring out this stat, being that there are over 70 models that run the droid os and only 1 apple, with less than 5 versions, they even give some of the droid models away for free and can still only muster up a few more % of the market share over the iphone. ETA: forgot to mention that number is with 3 carriers for the iphone (one untill last year) as comared to the droid running on most if not all the carriers.

Droid. I have the original droid and the iPhone 4s is my work phone. The droid is more comfortable. handles connection to an exchange server better and doesn't feel like an ipod that graduated to smart phone.

i think that the Iphone being locked up on AT&T for all those years is what really helped the droid take such a high percentage. There are several manufactures of droid not just Apple so of course there will be more models, but at the same time droid as taken the technology that Apple created and surpassed it. Droids have better cameras, faster processors, actual 4G LTE antennas. There are 5 models of iPhone yes but after the first iPhone other phone quickly surpassed it and since then the iPhone hasnt had the best technology available. People love the iPhone and I think that is fine I however enjoy my droid and the ability to change things how I want them, not how Apple believe I should want them.

I finally got rid of my crackberry and went with an I4S. I don't think the I4S is the best phone out there, but it has some definite advantages. When I'm overseas, I can still send messages and use Facetime to see and talk to the family, not to mention I still have the music, movies, apps, and so on. I have a Mophie juicepack on mine, so I have a full second charge for the battery without having to plug it in to get it. Big deal if you spend as much time on planes as I do. It comes down to what you like and what you'll use it for, in the end. iPhone has lots of free apps too, and a lot of the ones that are not free are $.99. Doesn't hurt that my laptop is a MacBook Pro, either...

yes... and I have since seen a different path

I'll rustle some jimmies by saying this, but malware is much more of a threat on android, than on, iOS.

ETA: not that it should be deal-breaker or anything, just stirring the pot.

Once you jail break, that problem is gone, I can run pretty much anything now and the phone is totally custom to how I set it.

I had a droid and had to replace it 3 times in a years time, do I went with the iPhone and haven't looked back. Plus it just looks way better IMO.

Cite sources please?


working IACND we do scans/testing all of the time.
I wish we could get the "idiots on safari" off of the @#$^%$*! Network

I have both. The iphone is easier but if you like to customize droid wins. The droid also allows you to use SD cards. Typical apple you can't expand the iphone. You are stuck with what it has or buying another phone to upgrade.

I do love how customizable Android is. I put a slick new ROM on my Galaxy Nexus today while my wife is complaining about how she can't remove icons from her home screen on her iOS device, an iPad 2. Jail breaking is an option but you don't have to worry about going through a similar process on Android in order to simply customize the layout of your phone.

Android. Easier to find and install apps. You don't have to pay for many so when you are over them in a couple months, you can uninstall and move on.

I've gained this knowledge mostly from malware authors. IIRC, less than 400 lines of code can allow someone to: sniff SMS/MMS messages, hide SMS/MMS messages, and send SMS/MMS messages. I'm pretty sure I can find the code, if you'd want to see it.

Quick search turned this up on QR malware for Android:
http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyo...lware-arrives/

For all you guys talking about how customizable the Andriod is I would agree. That being said, once you jail break the iPhone it's a different animal, you can pretty much do whatever you want. I haven't paid for a single app since I jail broke my phone.

Do some searches on jail breaking iPhones or look at the vids on YouTube.....

I've heard that you even rooting an Android-based phone can't rid it of bloatware. Is this true?
