Iphone vs Droid

[hepcat]

Which should I get? I have an allowance from my job to upgrade my phone and plan...I'm a Mac person so I'm leaning Iphone, but the Droid is cheaper and seems to offer similar features. What are some opinions? I mainly want it for accessing the internet and my email while I'm out and about, etc

IMO the phone itself is better on the iphone, but the service sucks with AT&T.

I have had a Droid for a couple of years, and really like it.

It comes down to the keyboard for me. I don't know if I can own a phone where the touchscreen is the ONLY option. I'm sure I'd get used to it and may even like it more, but having a keyboard is sort of a crutch for me.

And I use a BlackBerry but recognize they're losing a lot of ground to Android phones and the iPhone

I would choose the iPhone. I'm getting one soon. I have personally had bad experiences with both Droid phones I have had. The operating system has always been prone to error on my phones. Half the screen disappears, text messaging threads freeze up, touch screen doesn't function, and a lot of delays.

Now, I seem to be the only person that has really had consistent problems like these that I know of. I'm just worn out on Droid.

if you like macs and your phone is going to be interfacing with a mac get an iphone.

If your company is paying for it, get the one you want. If you are paying for it, get the cheaper one, unless the more expensive one has crap you need.

I'm switching soon from an iphone to a droid mostly because I want to write apps for it and you have to have a mac to code for an iphone(I also don't want to learn a new programming language to do it).

Overall, comparing my phone to my co-workers droid, his is much faster and better in almost everyway.

I never have service issues with my iPhone and I live in the sticks of Rowan Co.

I'm old fashioned .. I just bought this earlier today to replace my Altell LG Scoop thats screen was dead from years of use.

Called the Intensity 2 .. got it for 85 bucks with a 50 dollar rebate I can mail in

Camera , Video camera , Slide out keyboard with Relatively Big keys not like the pooty blackberry , No touch whatsoever .. can convert any sound to a ringtone .. That's enough for me.

I went from Blackberry to a Droid X and initially had the same reservations about an on screen keyboard but the screen is big enough on this phone that it's not an issue.

If you do go iPhone definitely stay away from AT&T and go Verizon.

There are some seriously cool droid phones coming out and if you live in a 4G area it is worth it to get a 4G phone.

You can get an iphone for verizon you know.

The best phone in the whole world is coming to the states soon.

Nothing can beat the samsung galaxy s 2. You'll just have to wait a month or 2.

Funny enough, I was having this same conversation with a friend today. So I got home and checked my Verizon account and turns out I'm eligible for an upgrade. Do you use Swype to type on your Droid X? What phones should I keep an eye out for?

[The Saltman]

Lots of the better phones are coming out by September including the iphone 5, samsung galaxy, and droid bionic. If I were you I'd wait to upgrade.
