iPhone 4 vs. Android’s Best: Spec Face-Off

June 29, 2010 By Greg Mombert

We match Apple’s new iPhone 4 vs. the best Android phones on the market to see which comes out on top when they’re compared spec to spec.

The battle between Apple’s iPhone and Android is beginning to look a lot like the age-old battle between Macs and PCs, except playing out on the mobile market. We compared Apple’s latest phone, the iPhone 4, to some of Android’s top dogs. This is strictly a comparison of specifications, without taking into account more subjective factors like user experience. So let’s get to it: Which phone comes out on top in the hardware war?

Tanner Siple at 4:07pm 27th April 2012 He dousnt even mention the fact that iPhone took FOREVER to get dual coreSteve Jobs was interested in one thing..keeping the public in the dark telling them what they want to hear and pumping more money into marketing than creating an actually spec competitive product
Tanner Siple at 3:57pm 27th April 2012 This is prob the worst comparison everdid u forget about the Atrix???/or any samsung product??Galaxy Nexus even??Android absolutely DESTROYS iPhoneys at hardware specs but you chose like the weakest Android phonesI hope u spend your check from appl on something worthwhile.....
iFonFanBoi696 at 5:15am 15th April 2011 As I look at it Android is a Wannabee iOs with that pretends to do a lot of new things.. which can be done by Jailbreaking otherwise ! People who complain abt iOs being controlled by Apple etc are purely unaware of terms like Jailbreaking, Cydia, Winterboard, Installous etc ! U got flash on Android.. Big Deal Gimme a Break. i Phone dosent NEED flash in the first place. Hence No regrets it dosent have it !
1. Tanner Siple at 3:59pm 27th April 2012 wannabe iOS your kidding...How about the notification bar you got now did u know Stevie Jobs stole that one??
2. Tanner Siple at 4:09pm 27th April 2012 and did you know calling someone an iPhone fanboy is an insult prob shouldnt have that as ur name....
Areint at 10:13am 10th March 2011 People can be very very ignorant when it comes to seeing things. You probably enjoy your iphone, iphone users, and thats cool. Android lovers, I know you love yours too. To be honest I have always had terrible experiences with my iphone 4 and was overjoyed when I got my Epic 4G. At&t is pretty crappy, we can all agree on that. I am not putting down iphones, just saying I never really liked mine. When it comes down to how good the phone is, both android and iphone are unique in their own ways. Now shut up and stop arguing over facts.

Kerry Cirillo at 11:10am 28th January 2011 About iPhone as the first (which has absolutely no bearing on whether it is the best, anyway)... iPhone first released June/July 2007 - where does that really put it on the timeline of smartphones and their technology? Palm Pilots were touch screen in the 1990's - yes, you had to use a stylus, but they were touch screen and had apps you could load on them. No phone yet, but a good product with the same technology sans phone. By 2002 they had released their first phone built on the Palm platform. Nokia and Ericsson had smartphones in the 1990's. 2002 - MS PocketPC smartphone 2002 Palm released it's Palm Treo 2002 Blackberry puts out its first smartphone - email capabilities included. 2007 was when 3 companies released smartphones primarily run by touch - the previous releases had touch capabilities, but keyboards and mouse-type hardware were the primary means of control. Those 3 companies: Apple with its iPhone, HTC with its Touch and an LG phone. Interestingly, unlike the hype spread by Apple and its users today, HTC initiated the multi-touch technology on phones and had the best internet experience in this group of smartphones. The Android OS was released in 2008. Therefore we see that regardless of what an individual thinks about the product today, many iPhone defenders have their history very twisted.
1. Tanner Siple at 4:02pm 27th April 2012 this guy gets it tooim tired of iPhoneys running their mouth about how perfect their phone isBill Gates was right in the sense of if you dont want options or integration go crapple
Kerry Cirillo at 10:50am 28th January 2011 So much name calling, tossing out "facts" that aren't really facts, claiming one unit to be the be-all end-all. If that is true - there is no room for improvement, and whatever else is true or not, we are all constantly looking for ways to make things better. We all know that technology has improved beyond both the iPhone 4 and Evo and new editions are already slated for release. I purchased the Evo - I wanted the flexibility, the power and for me the larger screen was a bonus as I dislike reading things on the smaller screen - and it still fits in my pocket. My previous phone was a BB Storm, which I loved. My mother-in-law, who is almost as non-techy as you can get, just bought an iPhone. It's perfect for her - for all the same reasons the Evo was great for me, it's ready to go out of the box and you really can't change things you shouldn't. Obviously different phones are suited for different people. The presence of competition makes each product better than it would be alone.
JIm at 12:38am 12th January 2011 What!!! so they are saying 4 android phones = 1 iphone how can someone weight those phones, 4 phones are heavier than 1. So the answer is simple anyways I have to go now...
guest at 7:01pm 11th January 2011 iphone to be released to verizon on february 11th.. happy dance check check
Jason at 6:27am 10th January 2011 The iphone was not the 1st smartphone. It's obvious you kids have no clue what you are talking about. What about the palm phones? I had one years ago before the iphone was ever thought of. Maybe iphone copied off of them. The droid has many more options than the iphone. I would much rather have 200,000 apps and great service than have 1,000,000 apps and crap service.
kris at 6:16am 23rd December 2010 Ok I was an iPhone user for the first three gens I had the 2g and thought it was great got the 3g was even happier bought the 3gs and was amazed now I have an evo and I wouldn't trade it for an iPhone.... iPhone are great phones they do everything you want them to if u want customization u can jailbreak it and do whatever you want the only reason I wouldn't go back though is that with and Android phone u have the ability to use Adobe products like flash so that your internet surfing isnt restricted by almost half honestly you people are fuckin stupid for saying ones better than the other because no matter what you have on the table its all about preferences its all about your opinion so one person saying this is better than that doesn't mean shit cuz that's just what u feel.... like I said I've had both sides of the spectrum and there's really no difference and if u wanna bitch to me about how I'm wrong feel free my name is kris and my email is kris_dl@global.net
Chase at 2:18pm 22nd December 2010 Okay. I've got an Evo, and I've used an iphone. Let me put this out there that im a power user, and use my Evo for every aspect it was designed. The iphone is simple, period. You cant even turn the home screen into portrait mode, which makes a difference. Your screen might sport the highest resolution out right now, but that doesn't mean you can see more wallpaper. My evo's screen just completely murders the iphone screen in size, and thus amount of things I can have on the screen which is all that matters. 8mp camera > 5mp camera. The android os is on only on 2.3 right now (only on the Nexus S, but the OPEN SOURCE PROGRAM (which apple doesnt have) Is making 2.3 availiable on phones that have not released an official 2.3 OS yet. Thats called a community. I dont think apple has that, you guys have to jailbreak your phone just to get themes, rofl.) iTunes sucks for anyone who's never used it. Syncing back and forth takes to long. I can add 8gb of music to my evo in 5 mins. Congratulations on having to buy your ringtones from itunes, and not being able to actively manage them. iphone apps are geared towards simplicity, android apps are not. I dont see an overclock utility for iphone, or advanced task managers. Fact: Iphone is driven by its fan base, who see the apple logo and MUST buy it. Fact: Android platform is only on its 2nd major os update, and already outselling iphone and blackberry. lol what? Owned?
Geek Answer at 2:38am 22nd December 2010 That's excellent comparision, Keep posted http://codeme.gotdns.com
Patrick at 1:10pm 10th December 2010 The best thing about Apple designing the iPhone? It inadvertently (or perhaps intentionally?) designed the best portable music player in the world. . .iPod Touch. I use a Samsung Alias for voice/text. I use the iPod Touch for everything else. No need for a data plan. I'm in WiFi areas all the time, due to proximity to routers in my neighborhood. I can literally walk several blocks to the park or the cafe and not lose signal. When I travel, I don't stay anywhere that doesn't have WiFi. So I carry around two devices, no biggie. Only time that's logistically a hassle is on the beach. . .where I don't WANT to be connected. RE: this 'contest' - it's personal preference, period. . .well, that and the carrier if you plan to actually use these things as phones at any point :) Go with what feels good.
1. Reg at 8:34pm 28th December 2010 The best portable music player should be able to play multiple formats and copy files by various methods from anyone's system without having to install one version of software first (iTunes).
IS LP at 8:00pm 4th December 2010 The iPhone 4 IS the best i have an iPhone 4 and this IS awesome the android IS nothing the iPhone IS the BEST 1000% BEST
Riz at 12:44pm 1st December 2010 I have an iphone 4 and I am not disappointed, however, I feel it's best if it's jail broken. the android is more and more likely going to be my next phone. I hate apple, I like open source I like that android is open so I can download free apps. However, I've seen the best android phones out there, and as good as they are in certain respects, It's still not as refined as the iPhone when it comes to the little details. That said, I hope android gets those little details fixed by the time my contract expires
Zak at 7:37am 26th November 2010 it's simple : Android = FREEDOM iPhone = fancy Jail .. but even a golden cage is still a cage buying iphone 4 was the BIGGEST Mistake I did, it's multi-tasking is a big joke, no mp3 ring tone, no wifi tethering, no sms/call filtering applications , all good applications are commercial, lacking all features the any basic phone has... its just a nice outside design with stupid software. even with the new 4.2 os,,its still dumb and dumber
Stella at 7:02pm 23rd November 2010 One thing I have learned from all of this is that iPhone fanbois struggle to put a sentence together other than 'apple started it it is the best' So on that reckoning for will always be the best because Henry streamlined car production. The reason we have variety in everything in life is because we all have different tastes.
DS83 at 8:47am 21st November 2010 Iphone 4s the best mobile there is. END OF THREAD
Akash at 8:24am 21st November 2010 I have an HTC Desire and an iPhone 4. Desire has better OS (Android). iOS is still lacking behind. iPhone Hardware is still better (except the Death Grip Issue) It will make more sense to compare iOS and Android or rather iPhone to Samsung Galaxy or HTC Desire.

Marwan Sallam at 1:13pm 13th November 2010 iphone is a murderer its a bb killer its a samsung killer its a nokia killer and its certainly a druid killer unless druid makes a btr model than iphone 4 druid is over sure it looks the same but it evy model gets way btr
guest at 8:55pm 29th October 2010 iphone is the best... due to the fact that it;s actually the trend setter of this kind of technology, the leader will always be the best then the followers
Guest at 3:46pm 25th October 2010 I was forced to have AT&T service because it was synced in my car and used to have to walk to the end of my driveway to get service at my home! I got Verizon and it's great service -- no dropped calls. For me, it's all about the carrier and frankly I'm getting a bit tired of the imperious Apple way. So it's Droid all the way for me -- I can't decide between the DroidX or Incredible so I'm still using my "bright" LG Dare ... it's not smart, but I can get online, get email, touchscreen etc. I realllly want a Droid though...
elias.alberto at 10:26pm 24th October 2010 - They forgot to compare RAM, which is essential. - They also should have put some sort of benchmark for us to know the actual power of the processors. MHz do not mean much across different architectures, specially when some processors are going dual core. - I also heard about dedicated graphics chip on some smartphones, so that's also something to be compared, with benchmark results preferably. - And these Droids really need to catch up with iPhone's screen resolution or make something even better.
Mr. Cell Phone at 12:16am 23rd October 2010 By now you have read most of the comments. construed everyone's perspective. How many actually noticed that this comparison entirely and deliberately failed to include in the comparison the awesome new Blackberry Storm and Blackberry Torch 9800 that is specifically designed by businessman for the businessman. This deliberate failure to include and compare Blackberry's new top models eviscerates the results of the comparison as this failure as it is evident that this was merely an advertisement to get people interested in purchasing these phones without realizing what better options are out there or are on their way.
Shad Wake at 1:05pm 15th October 2010 The phone depends on the user, plain and simple. Your gonna get the phone thats fits your lifestyle. I love apple, i love pc, I love my Evo , I love technology . The Droid is newer so we are all exploring the new frontiers. @ Curtis.......But to say that the apple is for upper class and droids are for the lower..... Wow !!!!!!!! Your only friends must be the apps on your phone.. I own both pcs and macs droids and iphones love them all for many different reasons .............
CesarLP at 2:56pm 5th October 2010 The iPhone 4 is the bEsT phone on the world of that im sure
lefiko at 12:57am 2nd October 2010 actually iphone has been around like 5-6 yrs and all iphone poeple i know when i aked them why they like there iphone so much no one has given me an intelegent answer all the say is the is iphone has ton of apps //iphone the best but they dont really no why its the best/// i, not anti iphone but i like the fact that droids have given us an opttion //// and actually droid /droid x and evo have only just came out this year and already better in many categories than the iphone so apple better watch out by the way all sales figures from iphone have talked about all those millions of iphones sold ARE GLOBAL SALES the reality is that droids have outsold iphone in the united states by far
lefiko at 12:46am 2nd October 2010 its no secret that ATT service is is terrible /i had ATT briefly and i hated it ///when i phone came out i wanted one so bad and was disapointed verizon didnt have it/// if verizon had carreid the ipnone i would defenitly would have gotten one//// but bottom line is that now that these DRoids are here they are here to stay and they are only getting better IPHONE is a great phone no one can honestly say its not// android phones have finally given people like me a choice ///bottom line is that phones like the droid x //the evo/ and now the galaxy s phones are just as good // ive read all the comments it and pretty much all iphone fans keep saying is the same thing over and over ..the iphone was first//the iphone has 250, thousand apps etc// so what if iphone was first GET OVER IT//
7thGuest at 3:34am 30th September 2010 In these 'comments' ... some choad: "The Iphone has always been a joke. Its the Apple Cult following that has given the piece of crap life" some other choad: "Droid is a joke compared to iPhone" some freaking genius: "Jokes are jokes compared to jokes." BWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!! Hooooo hooo hooo! Thank you for pointing that out. Jesus, that's the funniest thing I've heard all night. LMFAO! BTW, the iphone's a joke huh? Well show us the way man! You must be a freaking PhD from MIT or outer space or something if you can laugh at the puny electrical engineering apple does with their pieces of crap. Are you an electrical / mechanical engineer? No? Having trouble with your high school algebra? Thought so.... might want to button your lip unless you're doing a better job... no actually don't, I love reading morons babble. EXCEPT of course: Jokes are jokes compared to jokes.... HAAAAAAA! PS : all smart phones are a pretty sick joke at the end of the day, when you consider the resources each takes to mine, ship, then destroy when you're dad buys you a new one... I don't hear mama earth laughing under the weight of a billion unused 'jokes' ... I hear her vomitting it all up on top of us.
James at 12:02pm 29th September 2010 Ummm, has everyone missed the point that as long as these 2 fantastic phone companies compete, it means faster and better updates for everyone? I love my iPhone (still using the 3g, by the by), and the android phones are great - but they are great phones because they have to up the ante to compete! Let the war wage on so the consumers can benefit. I don't want either company to gain a stranglehold on the market! Long live capitalism!
SamIam at 7:37am 22nd September 2010 I sold my iphone and got an android phone (Captivate). I HATE iTunes. I love the drag and drop ease of the android.
1. Dev at 9:52pm 25th September 2010 I own iphone 2G (first generation) , my experience is iphone build and software quality is impressive. These are issue which concerns me the most : IPhone 4 issue : No flash support and i don't think Apple wants to support it. Android phones issue : # of Android phones ( HTC might have >15 i think). Each manufacturer have customize Android, their layer over Android which make us rely on them for upgrade software, evan though new Android OS is available it really doesnot become available unless the manufacturer want to give it. Its like buying a laptop and your are not allowed upgrade its OS.
Atakan at 10:40am 18th September 2010 Can u tell me which droid is the best ?
Hamed at 3:41am 18th September 2010 The droid phones are new and they are closely comparable to the iphone so imagine what will happen in 1 or 2 years?
Gates at 1:11pm 10th September 2010 good job Apple for creating the Iphone. It was a pioneer. The IPhone undoubtedly has its qualities. But the Android system is already better then IPhone's, even though the system is much younger. The EVO itself is a better phone than the IPhone, you don't need to compare the other phones. Of course there are more IPhones out there, since the IPhone has been out there for a while. But Android is getting ground rapidly and soon will be ahead of Apple. All comes down to taste at the end. and you can all kiss my ass!
maudiel at 9:53am 27th August 2010 In my opinion every phone is good at anything. They can be good at speed, multi tasking, battery life, pictures, size and hd. I prefer the Evo cuz I have one and it fits me. Every phone is great you just got to learn more about it and personalize the phone to your pleasures.
ohnoitsaspider at 7:16pm 22nd August 2010 Another correction: The iPhone's A4 processor is underclocked to 800Mhz to "save battery"
ohnoitsaspider at 7:14pm 22nd August 2010 Correction: The Droid Incredible has 8GB built-in and an 8GB SD card. It can be upgraded to 40GB. Some common myths I'd like to debunk: 1. The iPhone was the first of its' kind. False. HTC have been making touchscreen smartphones since 2002 and before the iPhone, the LG Arena was around winning awards. 2. The iPhone started the App store thing False. Nokia has had app stores for ages. The Android Market came out only 6 months after the Apple App Store. 3. Because Android is customisable, it's worse. That's just stupid. Please listen to yourselves. If it's bad, you can change it. 4. The iPhone has Folders and Multitasking so it's better than Android. Not at all, Android has had both since the beginning. And there's no limit on how many items you can have in the folders. 5. Android phones have worse screens. False. SAMOLED in the Galaxy S is way better than LCD, with better contrast and clarity. If you really need a super-high res "Retina" display, then that's cool. But there really is no benefit . WVGA is high enough. 6. The iPhone sells more than Android. Err... no: http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/05/android-surpass...
The Dude at 1:48pm 13th August 2010 Apple did not create the first touch screen smartphone....not even close
santosalhalper at 8:02pm 12th August 2010 no Samsung Galaxy S? Super AMOLED screen. Same processor as Iphone4 but with a better GPU
Immolate at 3:26pm 7th August 2010 For the first time in the history of the iPhone, sales decreased significantly in the second quarter of 2010 from the previous quarter. RIM and Windows Mobile sales were down as well. But overall smart phone sales went up. How is that possible?
Ryan D. at 1:37pm 7th August 2010 Everyone in this forum are people who see a comparison against the iPhone and pray it loses. Of course this is going to attract people that are Droid fanfags. The iPhone is the best, just face it. Thats why everyone compares EVERY NEW phone to the iPhone. And thats why out of every 10 to 1 reviewers pick the iPhone as the best. Oh and if it wasn't for the iPhone there wouldn't be touch screens. I remember how most manufactures were against the touch screen and said it would fail. Finally 3-4 years later they caught up on whats hot and made a phone with a touchscreen. Open your eyes Droid fans. If you think your phone is better at least don't bash on what made it possible in the first place, if it wasn't for Apple we would all be on brick phones with qwerty keyboards and no APPS!!!
1. ohnoitsaspider at 9:25pm 22nd August 2010 Everyone compares Android to iPhone because it's the closest thing that can compete- it was once the best, but now it's fallen behind. The iPhone is not responsible for touch screen smartphones existing- they have been around for over 8 years being made by HTC, LG and others who now make ANDROID phones. It's way better, just stop thinking on Apple principles and open YOUR eyes. An open platform will win this because choice is what people want. This is a repeat of what happened in the '90s with Windows vs Mac. Windows won because it ran on any hardware. Also the difference between fandroids and Apple fans is that fandroids can always say a true reason for it's superiority- not lies like "Android has viruses" or "Apple is better because it has multitasking and backgrounds".
  1. iFonFanBoi696 at 5:17am 15th April 2011 I Agree.. I phone is the Koolest Phone in the Universe. Phones keep coming and going.. People still compare their ones to iPhone since iPhone is the Benchmark for all the touchy smartphones !
Thomas Fisher at 11:04am 7th August 2010 I think the whole thing boils down to what a few on here have said. Apple's myth and the elitist egos of many of the users are in contradiction to the company's motto: Think Different. Yet everyone has to have one that is the same as the next persons. They don't want you to jailbreak your iPhone. They control with an iron fist the apps available. And with the iPhone 4 reception problems and they way they avoided the problem and censored their forums, they have now finally come full circle and become Microsoft - the very same people they accuse of running from problems when they pop up. Or they won't allow Flash for reasons that are eerily similar to many of MS's limitations for "user safety" (i.e., control) which iUsers have bashed for years. But hey, keep Thinking Different. http://bit.ly/94fvTg
james at 7:52pm 6th August 2010 hey uhh.... the droid has multitasking, i dont think iphone does
1. Jon at 2:42pm 10th August 2010 Do research before you comment.
2. chicago at 4:14am 7th September 2010 quit thinking!
Texas Infamous at 5:26pm 6th August 2010 EVERYBODY READING THIS PLZ LISTEN AND STFU.......WHO GIVES A SHYT WHICH PHONE CAME OUT FIRST??? IF YOU LIKE AT&T GET ONE...IF U LIKE VERIZON GET ONE....YALL ARE TOO WORKED UP ON SOME SHYT THAT YALL ASZ DONT HAVE...IF U DONT HAVE A FUQIN VERIZON PHONE WHO GIVES A SHYT WHAT U THINK...COMMENT ON YOUR OWN PHONE COMPANY....SIMPLE...IF U DONT LIKE SOMETHING ABOUT A PHONE DONT DISS IT...GET SOMETHING ELSE YOU IGNORANT BASTARDS
1. diesel at 3:57pm 13th September 2010 LOL!!
deuce at 12:25pm 6th August 2010 this is ridiculous...i like the iphone and you like what you like...why would i want to waste my time trying to convince you what you should like...its nice to be informed as to which phone can do what, etc; but whats good for one person isn't good for another...that's why you get to choose...i don't care which one you like best...thank god we all don't like the same thing
sam at 10:14am 6th August 2010 ok, i phones are nice..... not the best, how can it be the best if it out of the box already needs fixing?
youdidwhat at 6:42am 6th August 2010 The Droid X and IPhone had the same amount of + side specs. I actually am going to get the droid x, I think it overall is better... besides everyone that has the iphone is complaining about it. LOL, I haven't heard any complaints on the Droid X.
Trying 2 b fair at 6:29am 6th August 2010 It is worth comparing IPhone and Android from the system openness point of view. IPhone is a closed box just like Microsoft, Android is an open system just like Linux. This means a lot when it comes to stability, license price, and application development. I'd go for Android.
rosied at 3:13am 6th August 2010 oops typo. I meant android. that's what I get for typing fast and not looking.
rosied at 3:12am 6th August 2010 I noticed no angroids from AT&T were mentioned. I have the backflip and with the exception of the battery being slightly too small for the case (easily rectified by wedging a business card to keep the battery in place), my phone works perfectly. I can do almost everything with my backflip that an Iphone can do. I can even download my Itunes onto it and I don't need the exclusive Iphone plan. I have the basic plan plus the data package and it's much cheaper than the Iphone plan.
assrocker at 11:38pm 5th August 2010 people stop this bul iphone if you jailbreakit can run both systems android and iphone can android do that nope there is the answer
mookie at 4:00pm 3rd August 2010 its not about the battery sometimes, its about the performance. if battery is a big thing to you, then of couse some of these phones are ment for some ppl. come on, ppl have a charger at work, a charger at home, and sometimes a car charger.
Jon at 2:36am 3rd August 2010 Imagine if iPhone first came out for ATT, Verizon, Sprint, and Tmobile! If apple did that, there would be no android, and iphones would rule all of America. Too bad Apple didnt think about that!
1. vzw employee at 1:22am 6th August 2010 Apple originally approached Verizon to carry the iPhone. VZW turned them down. True story.
liquidreign at 6:25pm 31st July 2010 I saw that T-mobile UK is selling the iPhone 4. I also read that is coming to T-mobile US I know this has been a rumor for a while now, just wondering if anyone has heard more. I have T-mobile unlimited everything for $60 month. I have the vibrant and its okay but I have to agree with some of the other comments, The iPhone's screen quality and response is way better. Plus everything just seem to run smoother. I had a factory unlocked jailbroken 3gs on t-mobile which I sold and now regret, I am just giving my opinion not arguing. The Vibrant feels really cheap and is all plastic. http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/

The Down and Dirty on the New IPhone 4G | IPhone Tech 4G at 7:30pm 21st July 2010 [...] iPhone 4 vs. Android’s Best: Spec Face-O… [...]
Threekings at 4:42pm 21st July 2010 That Evo goes hard in the mufubun paint!
1. maudiel at 9:59am 27th August 2010 Yes it does my friend finally someone that likes the fastest phone in the world .
Curtis Jackson at 8:23pm 19th July 2010 Well it's simple task y'all to set you straight. Comparing an Iphone 4 to an Android, is like comparing Starbucks to dunkin donuts. If you're upper class you go to the iphone, and if you're lower class then you get a Droid period. Second analogy is like comparing a Benz to a Ford. There is no comparison. Thus the lower class people stick to their droids and the upper class (socially mobile) people get their iPhones. :D You're choice of a phone says alot about your social status.
1. BalmerFan at 8:03pm 24th July 2010 No one in the lower class is getting a smartphone for $200+ and paying $100/month for service. This is nothing but the typical Apple Fanboy elitism. I have had an iPhone 3G and can't wait to switch the EVO or Droid X.
2. Kramit at 3:46am 27th July 2010 Sadly its a social status thing? you think your a higher class cause you both an iPhone? please tell me how your a better person then me because u bought an iphone... what about your iphone elevates your status amognst us humans. You sir ARE the prime example of Advertising doing its job. the commericals the subtle comments made by people the marketing as sucked you in SO much that you acutally believe BETTER people have iPhones.. i know complete peices of garbage people that sell and do drugs... people that are in and out of jail that have iPhones.. but their superior to someone like me who holds down a job, pays my bills doesnt break the law and is a proper contributing citizen. You are offically the most ARROGANT person on this ENTIRE thread. Its simple to set you straight clearly they have you roped.. Apple could sell you a literal brick of shit, and tell you its an iPhone youll pay 300 dollars for it beucase its the 32pos model. While your walking around smelling that horrible smell emanating from ur pocket or face after making a "call" youll think its the smell of sucess. congrats for being a complete, and utter idiot.
3. leegao at 9:20am 2nd August 2010 Let's take the logical predicate that phones are a reflection of one's social class and generalize it within the context of this discussion. I will make the following assumptions which I'm sure that you will find reasonable: 1. Steve Jobs (The Apple guy) owns an iPhone 2. Eric Schmidt (The Google guy) owns an Android device. Given these assumptions within the context of your rationale, we must conclude that: 1. Steve must think that he is comparable to God. 2. You must be like dominating Eric, even though he's much wealthier than you will ever be. 3. By the laws of Appledom, which apparently defies common sense, I will automatically become an disenchanted member of the lower class if I willingly choose an Android over an iPhone. Given the vast resources that Eric commands, it's only logical, as I'm sure you'll find, that the growing base of the lower class, especially those skilled yet oppressed (even those from the "higher class"), will rise up and overthrow its much more socially mobile oppressor. This will effectively cause the Android to be quite literally known as the "iPhone Killer" Then again, since I'm a mere peasant in your far away fantasy land where iPhone is the sole indication of social status, you will of course ignore my counsel and self-propagate the chains of events that will ultimately lead to the rise of the iPhone killer.
4. nicole at 1:02am 6th August 2010 You're an idiot. Who the hell says something like that?
  1. nicole at 1:07am 6th August 2010 Curtis that is.
5. Kerry Cirillo at 1:53pm 27th January 2011 This is possibly one of the most ridiculous assertions I've read yet in these comments - and I've read quite a few. If you need an iPhone to prove your "class" - you have none. ...and trust me, I've seen many you would refer to as "low class" with both iPhones and Android based phones. Your analogies break down horribly.
DCRocks at 5:35pm 13th July 2010 I always have found it interesting, the iPhone 4 owners are all a twitter over features Android phones have had for a while. Multitasking for example. Add in Apple's closed policies, and AT&T service issues, and the iPhone 4 is barely holding even to the new Android phones, and six months from now will seem a bit left behind. One major difference is, once you buy youriPhone, that the ends, yet with an android phone, you constantly get better and better Os's for your phone. My Moment now runs 400% faster than stock, with no risk of my Phone company trying to brick it. An OS upgrade feat iPhone consumers can only dream about.
1. chicago at 3:36am 7th September 2010 dont have an iphone, did at one time though. my 3GS got several updates for the OS. am at verizon now, due to better service in my area. my droid X? 2.1 out of the box, update to 2.2? just like the 3GS can update to 4.0. love it, but the droid is not as user friendly straight out of the box, fact not fiction. their were things i liked better about the iphone, and things i like about the droid. i dont play games, music on my phone so thats a mute point. i did like the ability to talk on my headset, while getting on the web to look something up. didnt use it that often, but it was nice when needed. in turn the free gps on the droid is nice. i could go back and forth for ever. bottom line is, neither of the phones is really that much better than the other so all this bickering back and forth is quite juvinile. ack your age and enjoy YOUR choice, and let everyone else do the same.
2. CA1900 at 9:41pm 8th September 2010 You clearly have no experience with an iPhone. My 3G shipped with version 2 of its OS, and I've done a number of upgrades, including the 4.1 update I'm about to install. Numerous new features have been added to a phone I bought more than two years ago. I'm evaluating Android because I'm unhappy with AT&T's network. The iPhone, on the other hand, has been absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't be shopping at all if it weren't for AT&T's shortcomings.
Stefanie Kiedrowski at 5:22pm 9th July 2010 I really get tired of hearing people call Apple users idiotic followers. There's been an Apple in my house since I was 3. It's what I'm comfortable with and I've grown to appreciate and love all my Apple products. I don't have an iPhone and wont be having one until they sign with Verizon because they have the best service. I will be getting a Droid because it's the next best thing and a cool ass phone. But if the iPhone is such a lame piece of shit, why is every new phone coming out trying their hardest to look like and be as much like the iPhone as possible? I'm glad though because now I have a nice comfy alternative. I also think it's funny that every person who's comment focused on bashing the iPhone skipped their English 101 course. It's really not that hard to sound intelligent... can't you at least try?
Anders at 7:12pm 9th July 2010 Do u think iphone 4 can be the Android-killer?? I don`t !!
guest at 8:49pm 7th July 2010 Oh and didn't mean to make it a pc vs mac thing, just making the point that everything is done spitefully from a competitive marketing standpoint as well as a intuitive use standpoint, and this smartphone debate is an example of that. But seriously, if you start getting disruption on ur mac products, know its the end of the world and your iphone is about the kill you. LOL! Sorry, I had to.
guest at 8:45pm 7th July 2010 Furthermore, I love Final Cut Pro, and love the idea that they have Imovie editing app on the iPhone, as I am in video, etc., but have no need for most other Mac related things. I do everything I need to do efficiently with pc items. Ipad? seems prety cool but no thanks. itouch, nah. macbook pro, i'd use it happily but not buy it. ipod? love my ipod video 30gb. I am at ATT but switching to Verizon for the Incredible. Why, because it's best for me. After all is said and done though, I don't use Macs because I don't trust them. I think Mac is going to manifest itself as the real life version of Skynet someday, and its going to bring about the apocoalypse and kill us all. The more you think about it it makes sense though doesn't it. LOL! But seriously, let the sleeping dog lie and go make some lemonade, or do whatever it is that you do.
1. mermaid gal at 7:27am 23rd August 2010 you will like verizon i have been with them for 6 years... their customer service is above reproach... albeit they are expensive ... but i dont mind paying for great coverage great service and the constant smoozzing... i had sprint once upon a time... i would cut my throat w/ a dull object rather than go back to them... although they are cheap... but you get what you pay for !!! lol
guest at 8:44pm 7th July 2010 I keep hearing how apple led the way, or at least that the iPhone led the way. Sure, it has in the touchscreen area, and some other areas, etc, only because it beat the other companies to the punch. It didn't invent the tech, it rather made a good investment jump. But remember, apple STOLE the intuitive technology process from LINUX. They took the tech, sugar coated it, branded it all to high hell, and now it's like grandmas lemonade..it's the best "just because." Competitive marketing is key, so is all around cost, service, efficiency, etc., but like a few people have said, it's what's best for you. I am not anti-mac, nor am I really pro-pc, I just use what I like for better AND worse.
Seve at 1:27pm 5th July 2010 Personally I couldn't care less about which company did what in the past and I care very little about who is selling more phones. I also pride myself in not letting marketing people talk me into things that arent relevant. I care about what my phone and provider will give me now. Can you tell which camp I'm in?
1. guest at 10:39am 27th July 2010 not AT&T... clearly
  1. mermaid gal at 7:18am 23rd August 2010 thats absolutely right AT&T has awful service and terrible customer service i have family and friends that have AT&T and they hate them.. Iphone is a decent phone but you are relegated to purchase and use their products NOT ANDROID.. i can write programs for my Droid on my puter and upload !! and yes iPhone has hundreds of thousands of apps for the phone... but who needs five hundred thousand apps to put on their phone... I LOVE MY DROID AND WOULDNT CHANGE FOR THE MONEY... and if droid wasnt here i would go back to my Blackberry !!
melissa at 4:58am 5th July 2010 Evo is the best iphone will always be second.... late on pic text late on talking on the phone and checking your emil. the only thing that Iphone have is the apps. so what evo have it too. Evo is the best.
1. maudiel at 10:05am 27th August 2010 if they made another evo that phone would not be second even if Apple made the iPhone better without any problems.
Blackberry Owner at 3:52pm 2nd July 2010 So much hate coming from Android owners... I think yall just have a hard time dealing with competition. I own neither the iPhone nor the Android. But the fact that sales in America for iPhone surpass that of the entire Android lineup should tell you something...
1. Guest at 8:16am 22nd July 2010 Really? http://gizmodo.com/5535502/android-surpasses-ipho... Research before you talk.
2. dakid at 10:03pm 10th April 2011 Doubt that.. but this whole iPhone was the first touch screen bull is getting old.. who made the first automobile.. get it??? First doesn't mean better..
Jimmy at 3:08am 1st July 2010 Come on guys....does this really matter? All this is is just some competition that really isn't necessary, other than to boost some ego of one of the companies so that that company can have some sort of bragging right over everyone else. In the end, every one of these phones is good. I mean, with a camera that can have power varying anywhere from 5 mega pixels to 8, which isn't really all that necessary, and with a power processor that can compare to that of a system 10 times their own size, every phone is great. In the end, it comes down to the price range. Whichever one is the most consumer efficient and affordable is the one that will win every time.
RWMiami at 3:29am 30th June 2010 IPhone did not change the mobile landscape, look a while back to the Newton for where the trend likely started. People are so short-sighted and quick to drink the kool-aid and not make an objective comment contrasting different products of schools of thought. As Moores Law runs it's course and processes for newer tech becomes viable in the mainstream, devices and OS' will come out and it will be the Next Big Thing. I would never own one; but, the Iphone is innovative and ups the ante with every version. No matter where the juice is the saying is always true that you can't please everyone.
Darruda at 2:43am 30th June 2010 My wife bought me an iPod touch so I am very familiar with the apps. But really fake thumb print scanner, fake xray vision camera. And even worse people buy that stuff. So I am not impressed with the quantity of apps because most are trash. And if the biggest selling point is talk and surf at the same time who cares. The fact is AT&T is terrible so good luck with that talk and surf with no service at least you can show off the corny apps while waiting for a signal.
NubPwner at 4:58pm 29th June 2010 I had a touchscreen phone 7 years ago and apple was first? lol interesting
1. paul 244588 at 4:25pm 1st November 2010 MULTITOUCH JACKASS!
ankle at 4:38am 28th June 2010 It is just personal preference!!!!!!!!! Really, if you prefer a network get a phone on that network If you want something simple and easy get an iPhone If you want something a little more high tech get any Android phone P.s. I'm typing this on my incredible
Zane at 2:18am 28th June 2010 If the iPhone is the end all be all then why does ATT have android phones
1. bBobb at 5:28pm 2nd July 2010 probably to keep android fanatics like you from leaving their service. common sense?
pk41 at 9:41am 27th June 2010 it doesnt matter to the small number of people who know how to jailbreak an iphone. once it is jailbroken, it is soo customizable like droid. i had an ipod touch that was not jailbroken and i hated it. once jailbroken, i could do everything a droid could besides make a phone call. just imagine what an iphone would be like!!
Who gives a at 1:58am 27th June 2010 Ok! You fruit loops can have your mobile phone viruses, unreliability, and crappy touch screens. I'll stick with the iPhone.
1. Guest at 5:21pm 2nd July 2010 hear, hear
2. Guest at 8:14am 22nd July 2010 I got your virus right here. There is a virus out there now that can be sent via text to your iphone. It will lock it up and apple knows of the problem, and wont fix it.
3. ohnoitsaspider at 5:39pm 22nd August 2010 The iPhone has huge security holes in it including one with the PDF reader that can brick the phone. Android is just as reliable as the iPhone and the only reason you might have crashes is because you are running an unstable custom ROM. The only Android phone here with a touch screen problem is the Nexus One which has a small issue with multitouch which means it won't work for advanced multitouch gaming. That problem was fixed in the Droid Incredible and no high-end Android since then has had one of those digitizers- the Synaptics 2000. They all have Maxtouch or similar screens which are just as capable and responsive as the iPhone's.
Bill at 10:43pm 26th June 2010 I don't think anything is going to best the iPhone 4 for a long time Apple will come back out with a better phone the first iPhone is the first phone with multi-touch technology then every other developer ripped off it I mean I still see a few phones that even ripped off the iPhone main menu let's just face it apple may only have been making phones for 3 years but they've already topped off every other developer. If this were a war Apple have won.
1. Paulo at 6:16pm 28th June 2010 Quote Bill: "the first iPhone is the first phone with multi-touch technology then every other developer ripped off". Is your logic that since the iPhone was the "first" phone with multi-touch, that makes it the best? Could I say that the "Curved Dash Oldsmobile" is the best mass-produced automobile since it was the first car that was mass-produced? I don't think so. By the way, Apple is getting sued for patent infringement for it's multi-touch: http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20001424-260.ht...
tjs721 at 7:15am 26th June 2010 Android market is growing at such a rate that it will catch Apple by year's end. My EVO is the benchmark now. Android is so much better thought out than anything Apple has. But if you gotta say I have an iPhone than have at it.
Natasha at 12:22am 25th June 2010 I think only only two of the phones are the same...the rest are different companies...
Guest at 8:33pm 24th June 2010 Ah, human nature at its best... the need to feel superior... it'll always be something... gender, religion, ethnicity, physical abilities, education, wealth, status, THINGS...
Dwight at 8:08pm 24th June 2010 It doesn't matter about the phone. I would never go back to AT&T service. I switched to Verizon 10 years ago and discovered what real cellular service was about. As long as the Iphone is only offered for AT&T, I will get the Droid.

Cloister at 1:16am 22nd June 2010 Its funny it took what 3 or 4 generations for the iPhone to incorporate some of the basic features I took for granted on my old $100 Nokia years ago....10/10 for clever marketing Apple but minus 2/10 for forward thinking
1. Bob R. at 11:53pm 1st July 2010 What features? I'm not trying to bash, I'm just always curious on reused techniques with phones.
Kebbe at 8:48am 21st June 2010 What's the deal about whining? I like Android because it's open source, i hate apple because they don't :) What other Apple fanboys and Android fanboys likes or not, i don't realy care. Love your phone, tuch it :D
Your mother at 8:42am 19th June 2010 Both have their advantages and disadvantages. About AT&T cahnging their unlimited plan: yes they are changing it, but existing customers who have it already aren't affected. You can keep your $30 unlimited plan. Or changed it to the $15 for 200 mb or $25 for 2gb plans. I've played around on a couple droids and I think I just prefer my iPhone :/ can't wait for the 4th gen to come out cause I have a 3g and it's about time for that upgrade ;)
Nii Saki at 8:16am 19th June 2010 Lump all them Android phones together... whatever U say.... iPhone 4 will RULE!
1. Guest at 10:30am 27th July 2010 youve contributed sooo much fact to the conversation.. oh wait.. u said nothing of use AT ALL... thanks for playing please try again.. dumbass
2. zaq at 7:45am 26th November 2010 it's simple : Android = FREEDOM iPhone = fancy Jail .. but even a golden cage is still a cage buying iphone 4 was the BIGGEST Mistake I did, it's multi-tasking is a big joke, no mp3 ring tone, no wifi tethering, no sms/call filtering applications , all good applications are commercial, lacking all features the any basic phone has... its just a nice outside design with stupid software. even with the new 4.2 os,,its still dumb and dumber
dapheonix at 6:53pm 18th June 2010 Iphone is just as customizable as droid you just have to hack it
1. @Darth_Imperius at 8:19am 15th July 2010 Even if you jailbrake it, it is still no way as customizable and an Android phone.
2. guest at 10:30am 27th July 2010 and lose all warranty for when it inevitably breaks... ya i wont waste my time with that
webx at 5:45pm 18th June 2010 Do any of you guys actually know what your talking about?? Iphone is great!! ... Once you free it from apples hold! Unlock and goto whatever carrier you want. Jailbreak it and customize to your hearts content! Enough said!!
1. Kramit at 10:29am 27th July 2010 cant go to Verizon... it can read a CDMA service.. and you void your warranty for when it inevitably breaks
2. jaybird at 3:30pm 6th August 2010 just pray you don't have a problem and have to restore it... then you have to wait for the next 'jailbreak' because apple keeps killing the old ones with their forced updates.
morty at 1:57pm 17th June 2010 Frankly, they are really amazing, I am a novice who has sprint for many years, besides i am an old guy , imagine the amazing things , satisfaction , i receive from my bran new htc evo, more apps then i can use , but when i use them the 4.3 screen is large and clear, i dont have the sharp vision i once had , just the other day i went to Jokes , and mailed them around , of course this just one of thirty five apps ican use ,, the technoligy is so amazing , i just feel its the best bargain in the world, still people arent pleased u tell me what else can u want?I had a black dial phone and was happy , so as far as i am concerned , i say thanks Sprint , ive used your service , in Florida, and it was excellent now here in New york , thrilled with the new phone , keeps me busy between texting and speaking and different asortment of apps , day and evening ,, thank the lord for good old american enginerring and brainpower , i am completely sincere in my statement ,,
1. Greg at 11:51pm 1st July 2010 Thank you, Morty. Great personal review of the Evo. This is what we need, people reviewing what phone they have and what they like about it. Instead all these teeny freaks bashing each other over which phone they hold dear. A straight review from someone who isn't tech savvy on smart phones telling how much he enjoys it. Kudos!
Bryce at 11:14am 17th June 2010 Please note that droid sales figures are enhanced by the 'buy one get on free' promotions. Also, iPhone sales are likely depressed due to anticipation of the new phone. The numbers aren't always the whole story. And yes, droids have expandable hard drives, but a 32gb micro sd costs about as much as the phone itself. I'll be the first to say that my iPhone 3g has some problems- if my contract was up when the motorola droid came out, I'd have switched. But after playing with the droid my friend has, I've decided to return to the simplicity and MUCH better touchscreen of the iPhone 4. Add all that to screen resolution that DESTROYS the competition... Just look up total number of pixels, iPhone has nearly twice as many as any other. Am I a 'fanboy'? No. I dislike apple and iTunes both. I use a different program to add my music onto my phone, because it is better and faster. However, apple happens to make the device that pretty much destroys the others (for a few weeks, at least). So I'll stick with my iPhone. Which I am send this from now. Which reminds me: iPhone is also lightyears ahead in the intuitive typing department. It's much faster and easier to use. People who need a physical keyboard are holding on to technology that will not bear out in the long run. Touchscreen typing is the future and apple leads the way.
1. Greg at 11:47pm 1st July 2010 I'm pretty sure that I won't give up my keyboard for touchscreen typing. Well, at least for a computer. Phones...I have issues with touchscreen typing and physical typing. I need to evolve with smaller fingers I guess.
2. Kramit at 10:26am 27th July 2010 iPhone typing lost to swype.. world recordly fastest and most accurate touchscreen typing u can get.. iPhone wont catch up the app for iPhone is called "shape writer" i had it.. its not good... i have the droid again the touchscreen isnt more responsive at all on the iPhone.. and i like my physical keyboard cause its easier when im drunk, lol. So iPhone doesnt lead the way in touchscreen typing.. thats a personal opinion on ur part.. sadly, its FACTUALLY incorrect... the screen resolution is good but not enough to sway my decision at all. Ummm 32 gigs as much as the phone.. can you get me a droid X for 80 bucks.. ill give you 100 if u can thats a profit for u.. oh wait.. their more.. and its 300 plus tax WITH contract to get the 32gb version iphone... your pricing is off.. EVERYTHING u said... is painfully incorrect. you sir are misinformed
3. Guest. at 2:09am 13th January 2011 In case you want one, you can get a genuine sandisk 32gb micro sd for under £10. Ayuh. Although, I'm looking forward to the sAMOLED 2 that Sasmsung has just produced, it runs 1080p, rather than the retina display's 720p.
Imperyal at 3:41pm 16th June 2010 Well, I'm Portuguese, sorry for my bad spelling loool
I think you understand me perfectly :p

Looks like you may be another fun-boy, but let me try again... My post main objective was tell you why iPhone is best for me, if Droid OS is best for you, buy a phone for it, simple.

I already tried some Droid phones, they are great, no doubt about it. There are good and bad apps on both iOS and Droid OS.
As a developer, if I had to pay for publish my apps on a store I have to make the best at least to get my money back. If it is free to publish any one can publish, i think its easier to get crap apps there. But, as iPhone users know, there are crap apps on AppStore too.
In the end I think its like on a Disco, if you are the boss and you know the house will be full, you select the people, the ones that stays out don't like, but the people inside have quality fun hehehe

But the time will say, I'm not very interested on that because I know my choose is the best for me, you should do the same and buy an Droid OS Phone if you think its better for you ;)
1. @Darth_Imperius at 8:17am 15th July 2010 No offense Imperyal, but it's called Android not Droid. Droid is a family of phones made by Motorola and HTC. Android is the OS.
quiksilverhero at 12:08pm 16th June 2010 ...How about some people here learn how to spell first before arguing, yeah? iPhone wins hands down. The touch screen isn't as responsive and its not as user friendly. Apps may be open to the Droid OS for anyone to develop but Apple has stuck to major players, making it so that you don't get some stupid or repetitive app over and over. Don't knock things if you haven't tried them both.
1. Greg at 11:42pm 1st July 2010 Most of the iPhone apps are stupid and repetitive. Also, iPhone lost a lot of developers with the Adobe issue.
  1. resident at 5:08pm 2nd July 2010 that's half the fun... and keep up with the times- that "issue" with adobe is no longer
2. Kramit at 10:19am 27th July 2010 apple hasnt always stuck to certain people.. and i have a Motorola droid and have use many many iPhones... the only advantage they had was multitouch which is on my droid... sooooo no win.. the screen my droid is INTENSELY responsive. much better then it was on my omnia.. but my old LG Voyagers touchscreen was pretty comparable to the older iPhones.. no win dude..
3. Benji at 3:49am 29th July 2010 I'll pay attention to spelling if you pay attention to punctuation. It is "it's," not "its." Don't argue grammar if you can't follow it.
  1. Matt at 5:16pm 11th October 2010 Glad I wasn't the only one to notice that!
Jason Howard at 11:06am 16th June 2010 Well said
1. Ian Bell at 8:43pm 16th June 2010 I concur.
Imperyal at 10:58am 16th June 2010 This topic is ridiculous... 99% of the comments are from fan-boys, that's like PS3 and xbox 360 posts :p

I'm a iPhone user. In my country there's no big difference from carrier to carrier so that's not choosing factor. iPhone is so much straight forward then Android... My grandmother and my mother can use it with no problems.
Android as a much better home screen but is more computer like, less intuitive. The rest i think is pretty much identical. From my experience and friends, the iPhone's 3rd party apps tend to be better then android's.

Each one should choose the phone that's best for the kind of usage that they will do.
My reasons are; the iPhone runs more smoothly (graphics, etc) , the touch screen is miles better, the iPod is very useful for me (I'm a DJ) and I'm a MAC user, so all data syncs perfectly. Someone talks about the iPhone can't be used as a pen drive...lool there are smaller pen Drives, without need of a connecting cable around.
I have a friend that have an Android phone, but he don't use it for Internet, he don't have data plan, but he claims Android is better then iPhone (hahahahahaha) another fun boy!
So, instead of posting something like "iPhone Sucks" or "Android Sucks" think again ;) and post something really interesting and useful.
1. Derek at 6:08pm 14th January 2011 Dude, you know that saying, "I'm a MAC user so...." pretty much was all you had to say. Why make arguments after that? I could have told you what phone you picked...lol
2. anonymous007 at 10:30pm 20th February 2011 No, you think again and again. Here's a clue: your friend loves his or her android phone even without internet. What more if he has data plan and connect to the internet.
Tejdd06 at 9:23pm 14th June 2010 I will also take the new androids over the iphone 4.0s which looks old and bores me.
Dan Gaul at 1:28pm 10th June 2010 No. Apple will not support flash on the iPhone/iPad.
ItgirlAJ at 12:58pm 10th June 2010 I have ONE question that I haven't been able see the answer for (sorry if I missed it)....My friend has and EVO and was able to view a webpage that had flash that I couldn't view on my current iPhone 3GS. Will the Iphone 4 be able to view web pages with flash? I think that is important to many. Hope someone has the answer. Thanks!
1. flashhhh at 11:19am 6th August 2010 Nope Apple iPhones will not be able to see Flash only HTML 5 which is a downgrade compared to Flash.
Shawn at 12:17pm 10th June 2010 I think all the fanboy comments are rediculous, whichever camp you scream for you are a "fan" of.

As far as which is better, I think we have reached a point where all the phones are about equal, each one having it's pros and cons. Carriers are also a major factor. Everyone has a preferrence and alot has to do with location, some areas are better for some carriers than others. Saying that Android phones are outselling iPhones doesn't really tell the whole story. There are 3 major carriers selling Android equipped phones, of which different models are available, and only one selling the iPhone. This is a direct correlation to the higher numbers. If you were to compare a single carrier to AT&T you would get a more honest number. I love all the new phones, but right now I am sticking to my current carrier since the service for me is the best. Would love to get 4G but that carriers service here is not very good.
1. Anroid Rocks at 9:25pm 11th August 2010 Actually AT&T has android phones, as well as Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. If you thought AT&T didn't the Aria and Backflip are both android phones. The EVO wins it all! IPhone is cool but it can't beat android. iPhone has no customization at all.
Teamspechtacular at 9:05pm 9th June 2010 Wrong there is no $5 charge just another rumor started by the iphone fanboys
Teamspechtacular at 9:03pm 9th June 2010 wrong on 4g you can do that try to get your facts straight!!
Romerod111 at 6:00pm 9th June 2010 I have to agree as technology gets better it's becoming more about the carrier. Which means service and cost, and right now sprint cost is lower than ATT in addition ATT is eliminating unlimited data starting some time this month, so this put sprint on top once again,also yes EVO is stomping on Iphone.
1. yessir at 3:57am 8th July 2010 Actually, the limited data works out for some people (like me) because now we can get three iphones for around the same price (still a little more though) as our current provider. 200 mb is plenty for some people who want internet an such, but don't do things like video or music streaming. The limited data actually would save us lots of money because to get three smartphone plans with our provider would be like $40 more than we'd get with AT&T (even if their coverage is a bit spotty). Yet, I do wish AT&T would have left an unlimited plan as an option. Oh well, but I do agree the EVo is pretty sick. Android defiantly competes well with the iPhone (even though some may not agree).
guest at 5:55pm 9th June 2010 Yes, they do; over 10,000 apps. As people have said, it is all a matter of taste. Some have said that customization is Android's only advantage. I disagree. It is the open policy of the apps (including Adobe products) that will ultimately damage the iPhone's market. As of March 2010, Android phones started outselling iPhones. There is a long way to go, since iPhone has a strong market share, but the writing is on the wall.

By the way, it is pwned not pawnd.
1. Guest. at 2:04am 13th January 2011 Up to just under 500,000 apps, and rising every day. Open source: awesome.
Cdlorick at 3:45pm 9th June 2010 lol. I heard that Sprint is charging $5/month for the video chat on the EVO.. I mean I wouldn't switch to AT&T just for an iphone... but T-mobile kicked me off because there were no towers out here, so I decided to go with the iphone. And I couldn't be happier. I just don't understand why everyone takes everything to heart. But yea I was listing a few things because everyone use the same stuff to bash iphone... and most of that same stuff isnt true anymore. That's all.. and All about preference like you say.
1. guyver at 2:53am 23rd June 2010 There is no $5 a month charge for video chat? Why do iphone users repeat everything they read or hear without getting the facts first? I will be very happy when one of you iphone users actually report something that's fact. What's up with the lol? you were wrong. LOL! I heard that the iphone can only do chat on an iphone 4 on a wifi network. lol
  1. slock at 5:02pm 2nd July 2010 here's a fact: YOU are an idiot. I most definitely have to pay $5 a month, which i don't because it's not worth it. i just got an evo and honestly, its quite overrated
Fakaotua at 3:27pm 9th June 2010 How do you like browsing the web while on a phone call? Oh that's right EVO can't do that!
1. guyver at 2:47am 23rd June 2010 yes it can. I was on a call the other day while on my netbook which was connected to my EVO's wifi hotspot and texting. What about you?
2. @Darth_Imperius at 8:08am 15th July 2010 Ya, but you have to find AT&T's 3G. And its not the phone that allows you to do it, it's the network type!
3. Richard at 10:24am 19th July 2010 I was with att for 8 years owned both the 3g and the 3gs and now I own the htc evo. I played with the iphone 4 for a bit just to see was it worth it and it is not. Iphone still lack features that other devices have. FYI the Evo had the front facing camera before apple and you can connect up to 8 wireless devices to it. Also you can video chat now with being on wifi like you need to be with about. The talk and surf the web and the same time is something all ATT phones can do not just iphones, so that is a network ability not device. The Evo is a faster phone surfing the net and opening apps than the iphone 4. I was not a I phone fan boy but I did love my phone, but now opening my eyes and realizing all the the things I was missing out on. I can watch the daily show on my Evo never with iphone due to lack of flash, I can access micorsoft office, tether phone has a hard drive, friend stream facebook, twitter, on my home screen, gives me the weather of what city I am in on my home screen and it changes automatically , Iphone can't do that. I can go on and on with the features of the Evo and how it is just better, who need Itunes when you can just drag and drop so you can go to any computer the contact address book is far better with you can do so please come off it. I was one a fool and down adroid OS without really playing with it and now I regret I ever did. In all all phones are great, but apple still lack so many features that these adroid phones can do.
4. Kramit at 10:11am 27th July 2010 why would u need to do that anyways... i have a computer? and if im out with people why am i on the phone and needed the internet on my phone at the same time.. i have verizon i cant do that.. ive had verizon for 4 years.. and always had a phone with Web... NEVER have i needed to use the web and be on the phone at the same time... so the person on the phone with me can hear.. uh huh... ya one sec... while im trying to read the webpage.. lol.. thats not even a good argument for anything... useless
5. sands at 12:55am 28th August 2010 thats because of cdma and sprint not the phone the evo lets look at the web browser that doesnt have flash player lol now thats a direct shot at the phone its self not the provider lol
6. dafella at 9:52pm 10th April 2011 Sorry dude but you can talk on the phone and use the internet on the evo... and you don't need wifi to video chat.. iPhone is playing catch up.. while android is now paving the way.. sorry busy...
Bruiserman at 1:59pm 9th June 2010 The next IPhone should be pretty good. Other than that metal frame, the new HTC Evo will do all that stuff, plus it has an 8mp camera, HDMI out, and plenty of apps now. So it really is about the carrier more now than ever. The IPhone won't go to other carriers till 2012 unless some new contract agreement was met. AT&T's contract ends with Apple in 2012. I don't see why other carriers would go with the IPhone when they already have phones as capable if not better, and I don't see Apple blowing us away with the new 4th Gen phone. It should be able to compete with the Evo or the Incredible. I doubt it will be good enough to get people to give up their Incredible or their EVO to go with AT&T and the IPhone. I just got an EVO and wouldn't switch, even though I always wished IPhone were on other networks. Now the differences are so small that it's all about carriers, cost, and just plain old personal preference. We'll all go blue in the face trying to say one is better than the other. BTW EVO kicks IPhones butt!! lol!!! Just had to do it.
1. skipper at 4:48pm 2nd July 2010 iphone comes to t-mobile this october, then others like verizon soon after
Kkbello44 at 12:09pm 9th June 2010 I love my iPhone...wait does Android have an APPS community NOPE! PAWND!!....
1. Rook at 9:45pm 21st June 2010 You should probably do a google search on "Android Market" before you start "Pawning" all over the place.
  1. queen at 4:45pm 2nd July 2010 another way android imitates apple to keep up...
    milidad at 3:55pm 6th July 2010 You mean like with Multitasking, folders, video conferencing, and the like? Things that Android has had since the beginning?
    
    codboy at 11:22am 28th January 2011 hey genius, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and j2me developer communities and storefronts existed years before the introduction of the iPhone. Apple didn't invent any of it. The only thing they invented was the iPod, a portable digital media devic... no wait. They didn't invent that either. I had a Creative Nomad in 2001. Touch screen? Nope, my girlfriend had a touch screen Palm Pilot in 2002.
    codboy at 11:22am 28th January 2011 All they can really be credited with is building a more consumer friendly device that appealed to people like you who could barely make a telephone call on a cellphone. Now, go back to drinking your Apple flavoured Kool Aid.
  2. jon at 2:26am 3rd August 2010 I hate android, but I laughed when I read your post @ Rook. Props to you
2. smoothie at 6:15pm 13th July 2010 wow... now that's just pathetic. Android has its own apps market and community. Think before you post!
3. Guest. at 2:00am 13th January 2011 Wow, fail. yes it does have an active apps comunity with forum based comment sharing enable. Your move.
4. Derek at 6:04pm 14th January 2011 Are you retarded? Of course Android has an APPS community. What a moron. Of course I should have picked that up from the brilliant use of the term "PAWND!!" lol. Your mom is calling.
Paulo at 11:02am 9th June 2010 True, the Iphone revolutionized the cell phone industry with the touch screen and apps, but the "openess" of the Android phones are the new frontier. I am not locked down by Itunes in order to add songs or apps, I just connect my phone and it is drag-n-drop like a flash drive. I've known a few who have Androids and they leave them stock, but obviously we can customize the look and feel with "home replacement" apps.
1. kramit at 10:06am 27th July 2010 with apps? everything u bought for old phones are apps... everything even down to snake. thats an app... there have been apps since there have been mobile devices.. even the calculator is an app... please... they marketed calling it an app and not a program or a game... they just have a Game section in the app store... its a trendy hip thing... it was a marketing ploy not a new revamp to the mobile world.. App = Application = Program... that is the most annoying thing i have to hear constantly
Anand Mehta at 9:06am 9th June 2010 iPhone is best mobile ever others have just copied it impoving other features
1. guyver at 2:43am 23rd June 2010 isn't that exactly what Apple did with the iphone? HTC delivered the first touch screen phone to T-mobil in 2002
  1. slikdikrik at 4:39pm 2nd July 2010 ha yeah and that phone was a huge flop. htc wasn't hardly recognized until the g1 came out
    kramit at 10:03am 27th July 2010 HTC was greatly recognized just not to you becuase u couldnt afford them... they were extremly high end phones.
2. Derek at 6:01pm 14th January 2011 I'm lost here....so you're arguing that even though others have improved features over the iPhone, the iPhone is the best. I'm going to guess you work in a call center somewhere without a ZIP Code.
Ya'll are funny at 7:45am 9th June 2010 Everyone is taking everything so personal. Some people will not buy the iphone just because it's an iphone and everyone wants one. Some people will by the iphone just because it's an iphone. The new iphone is:
1. Built more tough. Steel all the way around. Anti scratch glass.
2. "Face Time" exclusive so all iphone4 users can video chat with each other FREE OF CHARGE,
3. The Retina Display will make the 5MP Camera more comparable (if not better), tap where ever you want to focus on photos and videos.
4. imovie app so you can edit your own HD Videos and send them straight to youtube or where ever your heart desires.
5. You can change the background on this one which makes it customizable and make folder for apps and all the Jazz
6. Netflix coming this summer
7. When the iphone is available to Verizon and other carriers. The number of users will more than double.

I must admit, The only downfall is AT&T but that soon change within the next year when iphone4G comes out.
1. guyver at 2:41am 23rd June 2010 2. "Face Time" exclusive so all iphone4 users can video chat with each other FREE OF CHARGE" you have to find a wifi spot first
2. gidgiddoni at 4:03pm 10th July 2010 1-With 60+ and growing Androids on the market, any day now and there will be multple androids that kick iphone butt hardware spec wise. 2-Androids Apps can do video chat now (for free) 3-5Mp is still less than 8Mp 4-Thre are androids apps to edit movie content as well 5-Android screen UI goes WAY beyond what iphone4 does! 6-Netfix is coming to android also! 7-over 160000 Androids are activated a DAY and growing market share Android being an Open archectiture allows for new capabilities to be developed by any inovator not locked into one source. Apple puts to many restrictions on their library
3. Kramit at 10:01am 27th July 2010 "Face Time" is not "free" because u can only use it on Wifi... on the evo u can use it in cell service 3G or 4G... youve been able to change a backround on a phone for like EVER... but iPhone never caught on. Droid has Blockbuster which does the same thing as netflix.. and nexflix will UNDOUBTEDLY not be exclusive to iPhone. and youve been able to share videos or anything u want with droid to youtube for a while now... oh ya... i just think its funny that until late last year you couldnt even send a picture to someone else without it going to an e-mail or something? it took them that long to get picture messaging down? im just saying.. their like so far behind sometimes it makes me laugh.. but honestly BEST MARKETING EVER.. apple did a good job. to bad their devices arent as good as their marketing then there would be a reason to respect them
4. Derek at 6:00pm 14th January 2011 OK, when you tout the iPhone, please don't tout the "FaceTime." It's a copy of a technology that has existed for about a dozen years, and you can only use it on WiFi. So basically, anywhere I'm at with my laptop (And by the way, my cam) I can use my phone to video chat as well. What was the point in that? When you fall for blatant marketing tricks, it tends to devalue the rest of your argument.
nivar at 7:16am 9th June 2010 whats the size and weight of these phones?
Dick Nickson at 6:30am 9th June 2010 Man, folks need to tone down the infantile fanboy cheerleading and disses. Competition is good for the consumer. Let iOS and Android and RIM shoot it out and we all benefit. As long os Microsoft and its crap Windows Mobile offerings are relegated to the dustheap, I couldn't be happier with a three-way race in the smartphone market.
1. kramit at 9:55am 27th July 2010 I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with Windows Mobile 7... complete revamp.. more people friendly... windows mobile was primarily for business use, like RIM.. i dont believe RIM is going to try and hop this market.. they are still the undeniable king of business functionality. I believe their going back to their market to do what they do best... iPhone and Android both try to offer that corporate alternative but theyll never catch up.
joann at 6:23am 9th June 2010 EVO rocks!!!!!
Abe at 11:59pm 8th June 2010 very thoughtful comment apple fanboy!
Steve Jobs at 11:55pm 8th June 2010 Good point... HTC tried and failed with the touch screen phones... until their touchscreen phones were the next best alternative to the iPhone.
1. chris at 4:31am 23rd July 2010 Ok, really...what can any droid do that the iphone can't? Flash? I'll take the downside of not having flash video vs. all of the other great functions, tools, and apps. iPhone may not be the best forever, but they still are now!
I hate Flash at 11:53pm 8th June 2010 Flash in general is archaic. It crashes my browser on a daily basis. BTW, i use Google Chrome.... under current circumstances, I'd understand if Safari was crashing, but Chrome... WTF
1. kramit at 9:52am 27th July 2010 I think thats your computer dude.. ive been using Chrome for a long long time.. and i never have any flash issues.. more things contribute to issues.. its not always just one thing.
2. Derek at 5:57pm 14th January 2011 Everyone hates Flash. Point is, everyone still wants to see the pages that use it. I guess Apple is so special that their users prefer to see an X instead of the graphics. "You'll view this page in text and like it! Now shut up and follow that lemming, he's going to fly."
paul at 11:50pm 8th June 2010 I'd take an Incredible over the iPhone any day of the week!
mike at 11:44pm 8th June 2010 Everyone is picking apart every little detail on Android v. iphone. Each has its own unique characteristics. I offer my view on the subject as follows: Consumer Choice is the winner.
Iphone: 1 carrier-1 phone (apple 'exclusive')

Android: 3 major carriers-gsm/cdma-many phones from many mfgs.-open source- you can get your favorite color, carrier, brand, gsm or cdma, n android open source projects will bring even more choices.

That is what i prefer is CHOICE. Isn't that easy!
1. mastacarlos at 2:17am 9th July 2010 Yes indeed. Even though the G1 is old, with the newest version of the android OS installed on it, i can still do more with it than what iphones can. The only thing that sucks for me is t-mobile sucks rocks. (Which I did not know when I got the phone) Other than that I'd take my g1 one over a crappy iphone any day. By the way I have many friends with iphones who are jealous that I can play and have all Super Nintendo games on my phone.
WS at 9:53pm 8th June 2010 The only thing iPhone had better specs for that mattered in my opinion was display resolution. Yeah iPhone's battery lasts a little longer but I don't have problems with the battery life. Some of the iPhone size specs are a little smaller but the Droid's screen is bigger, better camera, better storage because it's expandable. I am sure both phones are good enough but all the extra's that Droid has is nice.
WS at 9:39pm 8th June 2010 "iPhone 4 vs. Android’s Best: Spec Face-Off" may be the title of the article but you stating "I find it interesting that it takes 4 Droid phones to be compared to the iPhone" makes it sound like you think it takes all these Droid phones together to compare to the iPhone. They are comparing the companies major Droid phones (yeah I noticed after that Verizon has two, suppose they have two major ones.) I am sure if there was only one company that had Droids there would be one maybe two compared to the single iPhone. I agree with you though, Droids are very customizable vs the simple and basic iPhone. If you had the option for more customization for the same price, why wouldn't you take it?
1. mastacarlos at 2:11am 9th July 2010 I would like to point out that this article is not comparing the iphone to android phones as a group. The droid x, incredible and evo each alone with out consideration of each other are all better than the iphone. The only phone on this list that is even on the same leve as the iphone is the nexus one.
kalum Fernando at 9:37pm 8th June 2010 Great Comparison !!!

but non can beat the iPhone 4....
non-techie at 9:00pm 8th June 2010 Phones schmones . . . I'm switching from AT&T back to Verizon because they have better coverage and service. Would I like the iPhone? Sure I would but not enough to keep me with AT&T. I had Verizon from 1992-2005 (it was Cellular One back then) and never had trouble. I lived in Kansas City and was pressured by all my friends that worked for Sprint to change carriers so I had Sprint from 2005-2007 and always had trouble. I switched again in 2007 to AT&T and I'm not happy with their service. I'm going back to Verizon and disappointed that I can't get an iPhone on their service but to me the service is more important than the phone.
1. Bob at 2:46pm 13th July 2010 Amen. Verizon seems to have a much better network. I used to have Verizon but am now AT&T. I want to go back to Verizon and the new Droid X is a good reason.
2. Steve Saman at 11:35am 6th August 2010 I agree with your points and that is the bottom line! Iphone is great for "alot of stuff", but for the the core competency of a "phone" which is to talk on it and NOT drop calls. That is the only problem I have with my Iphone or should I say AT&T. My friend has the incredible, and it never drops calls. It is a little "different" to use, but only because everyone is use to Apple.
3. Karma at 9:08am 17th September 2010 My story is very similar to this one. I worked for Sprint which sucked then & is much better now. Although Verizon had the best service from my experience since this cell phone geek explosion. My girlfriend has the iphone, I have the 1st smartphone G1 & I'm constantly comparing getting ready for my next upgrade. I love iphones apps & development, but the process of obtaining apps is definitely more complex. However, over the past couple years I've noticed iphone drops calls significantly more. I live in LA & I travel a lot, so using the Google map on a htc format is a godsend compared to iphone. It gives me more accurate up to date information & much faster. If you're sitting effin around on your phone all day, then iphone. For someone like me htc all day
Android kid at 8:45pm 8th June 2010 who wants a iphone when next thing you know theres new software and your old piece of apple cant get it or in 5 months the battery doesnt last as long and it cant be replaced by you. people buy it cause "apple" makes it. apple makes money of idiots who need the latest gadgets. look at the ipad its an oversized ipod but they dont admit it

Htc Droid Incredible: Love it
Android: best creation
1. alowe at 7:34am 27th June 2010 I completely agree with you! I have a Droid Incredible and I would never trade it for any brand new iPhone. I love how it is so customizable and super fast and Verizon is a much better carrier when it comes to less dropped calls and things of that sort.
2. just saying at 6:23am 29th June 2010 Hey to tell you this but your first statement is incorrect. I have an iphone 3Gs, although I have to plan on updating to the newer iphone 4 anytime soon, i was able to upgrade to the new operating system iOS4 for free from the apple website. So like I said your statement is flawed, iphone users can upgrade to new software and its free. The only difference is, there are 1 or 2 new features the new operating system has that some of the older phones, 3G, can't use because it doesn't have the hardware for it. Honestly, I think that probably stands true for any new operating system upgrade to an older hardware, phone and computers a like.
3. tr56 at 5:48pm 10th July 2010 That is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. The iPhone is refreshed once a year and still all of them can upgrade to the new OS and only lose a few of the new features. Your Droid has already been outdated by the EVO, which can't hold a charge for half a day. All the android phones are coming out with many different specs and hardware it is going to be a complete mess with apps and what the new adroid OS can support. But whatever bro go back to idolizing google. They know everything about you, you rely on them, and now they got you to idolize them.
4. guest at 5:41pm 21st September 2010 The iphone 4 has improved battery life to one of the best batteries in the phone world right now. The original iphones as well have been able to update to the IOS4, the latest operating system for the iphone, while the first droid phones are uable to upgrade to the newest OS because of their under-powered processors. The Iphone4 will last even longer because of it's processor, which is the same as the processor in the ipad basically a laptop processor in a phone.
5. My Choice at 7:43pm 30th December 2010 it's all to do with what the consumer prefers, and as to call anyone who prefers an iPhone over what you prefer an idiot, makes you sound like an immature MORON
htc user....after oopsphone at 8:06pm 8th June 2010 iphones are like macs...they will always ONLY follow...advertise big...fool the fools
1. jon at 2:20am 3rd August 2010 Android copied iphone right? Thats what I thought. Your an idiot
Matthew at 7:23pm 8th June 2010 I have the Droid on T-mobile and I have to say, I love it over my friends Iphone that keeps dropping service. I like the unlimited data plan that allows me to tether my phone to my laptop on the road. It's pretty nice. As for the 250,000 apps, well, I guess that is because they weren't included with the Iphone, and most of them are stupid anyway, unless you're 10 years old.
1. jon at 2:19am 3rd August 2010 T-mobile network sucks
2. John at 11:54pm 5th August 2010 The Droid isn't available on T-Mobile. Sorry. This is a pet peeve of mine. You got an Android phone. It is not THE motorola droid.
guest at 6:35pm 8th June 2010 And the reason is because people are blind
The Man at 4:53pm 8th June 2010 Android Rocks! Iphone will not be able to stand the test of change.
1. jon at 2:18am 3rd August 2010 The Test of Change? iPhone is the phone that revolutionized the world, Android just copied it and made a billion cheap models, kind of like the chinese knockoff of an iphone,
2. guest at 5:27pm 21st September 2010 I think you're mistaken. The IPhones which came out first about 3 years ago in fact are still runnig and can currently use the IOS4 compared to the first android phones which can't handle the new droid operating systems with their under-powered processors. Iphone has already proven the test of time, it's droid who will have to prove it's worth among the already self-proclaimed master of smart phones. However, i do admit that i woul.d consider buying a samsung galaxy bercause of its comparability to the IPhone4.
Fakaotua at 4:41pm 8th June 2010 I think you are confused read the title of the article. iPhone 4 "VS." Android's best.
Fakaotua at 4:36pm 8th June 2010 iTunes, iBooks, and 250,000 apps. If they were doing things so wrong why is every carrier wanting touchscreen smart phones? I'm sure Droids are great they are tailored to a specific demographic geeky tech guys who want to customize and change things in their phone so they can feel unique and different. But when it comes to practicality and basic UI, iPhone was the first and iPhone does it best. There is a reason why iPhone has three times the market share than Android.
1. ThaPrince at 1:39pm 24th June 2010 IPHONE was not the first! do some research before you go spouting off nonsense out of your fanboy mouth. Nokia, HTC, and even IBM had smart phones being released before apple even CONSIDERED makeing a phone. and this phone is nothing special. you would think after all this time they coulda had a little bit more of an upgrade. but i guess thats what happens when you play catch up bwahaha HTC Nexus one all the way
  1. Kyle at 3:35pm 24th June 2010 Ya my buddy had one of those crappy HTC phones.... There was no point in even putting a touchscreen on there, you had to use that stupid pencil the whole time or push so hard it felt like you would break the screen.
    oh yeah at 4:38am 25th June 2010 htc hero? HD? nexus one? desire?
  2. steve at 4:20pm 2nd July 2010 don't blow a gasket! it's understood that it may not be the first, however, iphone revolutionized smart phones. Since it came out in 2007, endless attempts at competition came about and by far, none have prevailed. Android wouldn't exist if iphone hadn't owned the cell phone market when it came out.
    mastacarlos at 1:58am 9th July 2010 Iphone users are proof that mindless zombies exist. Besides the fact they didn't do it first.... they didn't even do it best. Even if you could proove they did it best at some point... they are not doing it best now. You are right iphone did revolutionize smart phones. But android is re-revolutionizing them now in both hardware and software. ESPECIALLY software. Iphones OS isn't even close to what android offers.
    Dat1guy at 7:56pm 10th August 2010 yay... iphone revolutionized smart phones.. its kinda like how prince of persia sands of time revolutionized game interaction with the environment. but guess what. assasins creed came out with something better a few years later. droid is assasins creed. iphone is POP SOT. nuff said.
2. Natasha at 12:20am 25th June 2010 I had an iphone 3G and i got rid of it on ebay as soon as the Droid for verizon dropped. I got sick of carrying two phones around. I will tell you the Iphone really is a good phone but I love my droid more and the blackberry is just a piece of crap... The one thing i miss about the iphone is itunes...
3. goaliegod1969 at 6:30am 27th June 2010 I have an android and a palm pre, iphone is not available to my network but most of my friends own them. I will say as far as the OS, i prefer the pre, although i would prefer a larger app selection and more powerful phone for speed. Hopefully HP now that they acquired palm will pick up the ball and run with what I believe to be the better of all smart phone web OS.
4. James at 2:53am 29th June 2010 Marketshare? Android has 28% market share, Iphone 21%, and RIM or blackberry has 36%. So much for 3 times the marketshare, last time I check 21% is lower then 28%.
5. max at 6:39am 30th June 2010 Gee a music player and somewhere to buy music no one has anything else like that at a cheaper price or free. If you can’t find your own ebook online you shouldn't be using the internet. 250, 000 apps yes but how many of them are designed to make fart noises. Is the droid tailored to geeks? Or is the iphone tailored to fools that can't operate a computer? I’ll give you that it has a basic ui, but its only practical for grandmothers and simpletons; any one else realizes that creating a wireless hot spot; or adjusting your ui so its more efficient; or multitasking is of value and practical.
6. mike at 7:51am 18th July 2010 yea.... IPhone does not have three times the market share than android. The last specs were: http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2010/07... check that out and tell me otherwise
7. Kramit at 9:48am 27th July 2010 Your clearly confused... Pocket PCs and Windows phones have had touch screens for a long.. LONG time.. my cousin has a windows mobile phone from sprint from years before the iPhone came out... Its not becuase iPhone that people or companies decided to go towards touchscreens... its a natural evolutions. First buttons... the electrostatic buttons.. the ones that dont physically press. then touchscreen. 3 times for now... btw.. in 1 months time the amount of activating Android phones went from 100k to 160k... a 60% increase. iPhones been out for alot longer then android and its just going to be a matter of time before it catches up... The open source makes it nice for people. Because these are just the High end phones.. theres more for anyone that would want a phone but not need the "best" they can get. why is iTunes so good? i can guy from amazon MP3 store on my phone.. or go to the store and get the CD and put it on my phone... iTunes isnt great either.. and eBooks have been around for a LONG time. and the Kindle has cornered that market. and i can get Kindle mobile for my phone, and so can u iPhone guy
8. Ron at 1:41am 3rd August 2010 Haha... three times the market share? http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/latest-report...
9. NotStupidLikeYou at 5:53pm 14th January 2011 I hope you come back so you can tell us all again how Apple has 3x the market share of Android. 22 weeks later and iPhone is losing big and fast. Please don't become a stock forecaster. You'll be broke before the midway mark.
guest at 4:29pm 8th June 2010 Well they actually do have two phones from the Verizon network and only one from the other major companies, but i get what you are saying. Also Fakaotua does have a point with is comment as well. If you compare the iphone 4 idividually to the other companies phones and not all 5 phones together the iphone 4 does have better specs in most categories. Im not saying that specs are the last word in any way, but that is how the compare. I for one like all of the phones and would be glad to have any one of them, but since i have good ATT service where I live i will be getting the iphone 4 when i can. But if i had anyother service a droid phone would be killer.
1. honkj at 3:57am 21st June 2010 the killer spec that the end users really care about is first second and third is Battery life, battery life, and Battery life.... and the REAL world battery life just embarrasses Android phones.. and makes the iphone 4 look like a dream phone. with the Android excuses of downloading a battery manager to turn off the very things that Android was touting the week before.... real Users don't want to download something to manage their battery, they want it to just work. and after that Killer spec, it is speed, after that speed, and after that speed, which someone else tested, and the iphone 4 with the A4 processor is up to 30% faster than the snapdragon in the Evo. in real world tests... that is hard to ignore by the end users.. and after that Killer spec, it is the usability/simplicity of the thing.... again, there just isn't even a contest....... it takes like 6 mins before the EVO can even recognize a 4G network, as if there were any anywhere near where a real end user could use one.... even if they found one, they notice that instead of 4 times the speed, they are seeing little speed differences with the 3G networks.... and 3 mins to load a flash video... hey end users notice that kind of stuff....
  1. honkj at 4:01am 21st June 2010 oh, and after that... Capacity size... the iphone ships with 16 gb standard, the Evo 9 gb standard, FOR THE SAME PRICE.... the end users notice those type of things.... this just isn't even a contest yet, wait for the new round of Android fragmentation of phones to compare, the ones that are so new that they can only run a fraction of the apps in the android app store... (as if any of the old ones can run but a fraction of the apps)
    Raize at 12:18am 6th August 2010 I could be wrong but judging by the specs right above us Droid X beats iPhone almost every category.
  2. guyver at 2:23am 23rd June 2010 the A4 is not faster than the EVO. THe A4 in the iphone 4 is underclocked between 700-800 mghz. That was the only way they could have 19% larger battery and 30% more life (not faster than the EVO) with all the extras they put in the phone. Make sure you read the post correctly when you repeat them. They never said it was faster than the EVO. As a matter of fact they didn't say what it was clocked at because it's underclocked but you iphans don't bother to research. The EVO in real world is faster than the A4 and with froyo it's 10 times faster. It's funny how you say it takes 6 minutes to find a 4g network. lol Now I know you are just repeating what you read. You never touch an EVO. It automatically connects to a 4g network just like a 3g network. You know nothing about the EVO or the 4g network so be quiet until you actually use an EVO. This is why people hate the iphone and iphans, because you except whatever you're told without doing research yourself. They iphone 4 is less spec than the EVO. EVO owners don't even care about the iphone 4 because it's behind in tech. Face time on wifi. R U going to pull over at a starbucks and call your buddy and have them go to a starbucks and then face time each other,. Joke. Front facing camera is supposed to be great because it's VGA compared to EVO's 1.3mp front facing camera? lol. Did you know the EVO's front facing camera is VGA? also did you know that the iphone 4 front facing cam era is a 0.3mp camera? lol. joke.Video chat has been around for years and you still can't get it right. you have to scroll through home screens? lol. Joke. You finally got folders? Joke. You say 4g is not that much faster than 3g? What was your experience with 4g? never tried it? oh. So how can you speak on it. how's the hotspot capability on your iphone for 8 devices? don't have it? sorry to hear that. HDMI out? no? so how can you watch the HD content you record on a HD device. Since your device is not HD. Just records in HD.
    Fjf at 8:29pm 30th September 2010 The iphone 4 is speculated to be under clocked. And the a4 chip is faster than the snapdragon. It is basicly the same chip as the hummingbird. Only graphic are diffent on the a4 chip. Do your research next time ant that what u said. But it does lack that hdmi would have been nice to have. I wonder if compent could output to 1080. I know it does vga hook up oh well
Christian at 4:22pm 8th June 2010 That is so True!!!! I Have a droid phone and I would not trade it for any iPhone Wait, any????? Apple has only made 1 kind of iPhone with no room for change. Droid has different kinds of phone to fit different lifestyles so you don't get stuck looking like the same old boring way like ALL iPhone users look....... The only real difference that iPhone has that Droid doesn't is iTunes.... Wow????? That's why I have my laptop for. Besides, it's not llike any of the Droid phones doesn't give you an alternative music library......
1. victorrocks646 at 8:34pm 29th July 2010 40,000 apps or so compared to the 240,000 apps, the 640*960 screen res. REALLY? THE IPHONE IS BORING? face it ppl every phone has it's flaws, but the iphone is the best smartphone out there.
2. joe mamma at 7:37am 6th August 2010 with a droid everything can be synced without hooking up to a computer, and has expandable storage, iphone you have to use that itunes crap, simple minded people need simple things, if you cant figure it out get an iphone, I had an iphone, totally sucked, my evo goes way more hard
3. IKD8410 at 6:09pm 23rd August 2010 actually android has no phones.....phones have licences for android and tweak them the way they want to to suit their phone/style.....and it has taken about 5 different companies with who knows how many different phones running android to even come close to the amount of iphones (1 phone 4 revisions) apple has sold.
  1. Reg at 7:50pm 28th December 2010 ...actually, android outsells the iPhone worldwide by a huge margin. Only in the US, did apple have a lead which android phones have now surpassed.
WS at 4:05pm 8th June 2010 Someone is confused. They are not putting four Droid phones together to be compared to the iPhone. They are comparing one phone from each of the major phone companies. Simple minded people like you should stick to their iPhones!
1. Nut Shark at 8:28am 27th June 2010 What is the title of this article? Go back and read the title of the article. Now read what you wrote. You're an idiot.
  1. who wants to know at 9:18am 7th July 2010 true, well done opinated person who just HAS to unsult someone while they are at. I think it all ways up on personal pefreence on what your going to like.
    Jon at 2:16am 3rd August 2010 Nut Shark is a genius, WS is an idiot, End of conversation!
2. joe mamma at 7:34am 6th August 2010 hahahaha, simple minded is right, thats what apple and iphones are for, people that cant figure out how to work a droid or customize it themselves
3. Slapthem at 11:13pm 16th September 2010 Read the Title!
Fakaotua at 3:39pm 8th June 2010 I find it interesting that it takes 4 Droid phones to be compared to the iPhone.
Let's face it iPhone was the first, they "changed the mobile landscape."
The true test will be in 3-4 years when Steve Jobs will find out whether the gamble against Flash
was the right was to go.
1. Dummedoc at 8:56pm 19th June 2010 Go change your battery!...Oh sorry...you cant! Love my EVO!
  1. ioman at 9:17pm 19th June 2010 Yeah, cause you know....people always carry extra batteries around with them. Not.
    Derek at 5:47pm 14th January 2011 Ok, go change it when it dies for good then...
    
    Unique at 5:47pm 14th January 2011 And what a shocker that a guy showing off a BMW would be a lemming for an iPhone..... What a douche.
2. Thaprince at 1:36pm 24th June 2010 IPHONE was not the first! do some research before you go spouting off nonsense out of your fanboy mouth. Nokia, HTC, and even IBM had smart phones being released before apple even CONSIDERED makeing a phone. and this phone is nothing special. you would think after all this time they coulda had a little bit more of an upgrade. but i guess thats what happens when you play catch up bwahaha HTC Nexus one all the way
3. CultFree2think at 8:29pm 25th June 2010 hhmmmm the first? lets see how many things in this world the firsts are still the best? Who were the first to build boats? Do they still have the top boats in the world. NO. Who created the first car? Are they still on the top? NO get over your MACcult mindset and embrace competition, it is whats making your iphone catch up. When did you get multitasking lol? Did you know Mac is using branding to hypnotize you into believe youre superior? Check out the link with one the top advertisers explaining how youre just a pawn made to feel included. Doesnt take 4 droids to compare to one Iphone, its because you online have one phone with your operating system we have more than 4. Steve Jobs owns you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewJ6Wzmr_V0
  1. Kramit at 9:39am 27th July 2010 And because of his ownage of you.. we can go anywhere... Like use a better network Verizon if we want.. or if were in a better area amazing 4g. or have cheaper plans all 3... ya i like choices... u dont get one... iPhone for the lose...
4. max at 6:09am 30th June 2010 You fool the iphone was only apple copying pocket pc phones by putting a phone chip in an ipod. and it should be mentioned half of those phones are atleast 6 months old.
5. imthebest at 3:12am 1st July 2010 you are right but they just got passed up. owner or 2g, 3g, 3gs iphones. now its an evo! sooooooo nice
6. Art at 9:31pm 4th July 2010 I find it interesting it took apple 4 times to almost get it right LOL. think about it, if they compared the iphone 4 to just the motorola, all the htc/google phone people would say "you should compare it to the htc, or the nexus" if all they used was the EVO, then all the motorola people would start saying the same thing. point is Iphone is a single phone with a proprietary OS. Android is an Open Source OS in which they (google) allowed any phone mfg to build a platform for. besides, its a HARDWARE comparison. its simply stating how the new iphone stacks up against the current crop of high end droid phones.
7. Kramit at 9:36am 27th July 2010 its not gunna take 3 or 4 years to find that out.. Flash is coming to Android at the end of this month.. and if im not mistaken its taken 4 complete versions of the iPhone to be as good as it is now.. What about the signal issues with the iPhone 4 id expect a company as "smart" as apple to figure that out before it happens. Hmmmmm or how about when the first iPhone was released it didnt even have 3G.. when at the time i had a LG flip phone that could multitask, something the iPhone couldnt do until recently, had 3G... iPhone is all hype and great marketing as a device... it is on par at best. It was "innovative" before smart phones got popular for everyone to have. Blackberry destroyed it in funtionality. and now google is going to take it in recreation. Just watch... silly apple fanboy
Failmode at 3:16pm 8th June 2010 Jokes are jokes compared to jokes.
1. Keith at 3:59am 26th July 2010 I laughed hard, loved it!!
2. Dustin at 10:30pm 5th August 2010 Absolutely. People take this crap too seriously. It's like in kidergarten those 'My dad can beat up your dad arguments.' lmao
3. asm at 11:43pm 11th August 2010 Ha! That's great...
AScott at 3:11pm 8th June 2010 Droid is a joke compared to iPhone
1. joking? at 9:23am 7th July 2010 haha funny joke. Any way, iPhone is convieant and easy to use even my grandmother who has never used a computer can figure out how to use it. iPhone is about convience and if people want o stack their phones against iPhones so they should, iPhone has a very good marketing and thats why its the best phone because of its market. It how it shows itself to the world. Heaps of people went flocking out to buy an iPhone when it didnt even have bluetooth, i say Apply could make people kill each other with its skilful marketing.
  1. android at 10:52pm 27th August 2010 i phone 4 always drop calls android win no matter what phone it is
GInfinity at 2:31pm 8th June 2010 The Iphone has always been a joke. Its the Apple Cult following that has given the piece of crap life
1. vnv at 11:54am 19th June 2010 Try to use it before hating it. You are mindlessly hating it just as some people are mindlessly buying it.
  1. mastacarlos at 1:20am 9th July 2010 Whaaatttt???? 1. take a look at the pure hardware specs 2. I know many iphones users and they are definitely mindless. 3. Android ROCKS!!! Apples biggest mistake... proprietary proprietary proprietary proprietary = apple sucks apple sucks more apple sucks most
    Steve Jobs at 11:09pm 5th August 2010 I broke my contract with at&t to put my iphone on the shelf. My droid is much better.
  2. froyo hater at 3:09am 6th August 2010 you probably don't have enough money to buy apps from apple so you go to where they have free apps and that's why you are rooting for android
    applebiter at 10:47am 15th September 2010 @froyo hater actually android and ios share alot of the same apps for free. its just that if your a real douchebag you will enjoy spending more owning an iphone on the same thing we pay very little to get. but thats ok...you can continue bling shopping while android users get the best for little. i doubt you even have a clue of your phones specs or have any idea of ios is really about :P now shoo!
    Slapthem at 11:10pm 16th September 2010 I've had both and i gotta say your all bias assholes! Each phones have their perks. If you look at at Android came out with 4 phones just to compete with 1 phone (iPhone). As other comparisons has shown you there are things that android has over iPhone and vice versa. It all comes down to the user.
2. Pman2999 at 1:53am 30th August 2010 iPhones are overpriced, and cannot be upgraded in terms of storage, or new battery as easy as most Droid phones. What I find hilarious is the iPad... it is just a large iPod touch... and soon they will have a medium size one... and everyone will rush out to buy it, just to have an iPad, just like with iPhones, and iPods, regardless of their performance or quality. Droid is based on linux, which is open source, and is a whole lot more capable than anything apple or microsoft. The Droid market has also expanded much faster than the iPhone market. In half the time Droid has taken the same market share, simply because it is OPEN, while Apple is closed privately held stuff. This is why apple products are not known to be bargains by any means.
HQ Yue at 1:06pm 8th June 2010 WiMax? 3G? WiFi?
H.264 support?
RW Trupin at 12:56pm 8th June 2010 give me a break. android is not in the same class as iphone. someone is sleeping.
1. Don't Panic at 9:36pm 2nd July 2010 You are correct of course. Android is an OS where the Iphone is a piece of hardware. Very nice display on that Iphone 4, you can easily make out where the signal bars are supposed to be. haha I think 160,000 device activations per day does speak for itself though. Apple will need what....three new iphone launches per month to keep up with that. Something like that. Android is going nowhere but up, and my froyo....oh boy :) i can't wait for the general populous to experience it.
2. RdnckReaper at 7:59pm 28th September 2010 Really? That is comparing Apple to Linux...There is no comparison. Yes Android is for the geek but it is also for the people who want to customize the entire OS! And it is easy to do. Everything customizable aspect of Android is easier than kindergarten. You don't have to jailbreak it to do the things that come standard with Android. You don't have to use some stupid program that always messes up to update the phone or your music. With Android phones, you just plug in the usb and go to town. Iphone is the biggest joke in the world. Apple has total control over what they think your phone needs to be able to do. Iphone is prison while Android is freedom, COMPLETE FREEDOM! End of discussion you idiot!
RW Trupin at 12:56pm 8th June 2010 give me a break. android is not in the same class as iphone. someone is sleeping.
1. @LiveGadgets at 1:47pm 26th June 2010 Oh really? Check this comparison iPhone 4 iOS 4 vs. Android 2.2 froyo http://www.taranfx.com/iphone-4-vs-android-2-2 end of iphone is near
  1. resident at 4:02pm 2nd July 2010 Biased and out-dated... but nice try
2. goaliegod1969 at 6:24am 27th June 2010 4G, customizing with out apple control.
3. Ben at 8:44pm 29th June 2010 So, I'm going to try out the Poll Feature - Which Phone gets your vote? [polldaddy 3409524 http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/3409524/ polldaddy]
  1. Ladiesman107 at 8:15am 22nd July 2010 DUDE YOUR POLL SAYS EVERYTHING, IM PRETTY SURE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER EVEN OWNED AN IPHONE WOULD RATHER HAVE 1 THAN A DROID
  2. Shaun at 1:53pm 2nd September 2010 Take into account that you have to combine all 4 android options vs the iphone. obviously the iphone isn't the winner
    James at 10:19pm 3rd December 2010 Wrong again. The comparison of 4 is one from each carrier. Plus, Android phones are made by various companies. Looks familiar doesn't it. Similar to why 92% computer owners are Windows users and 5% are Mac.
4. To the Apple fanboy at 3:19am 30th June 2010 I agree. Android is in a class of its own.
5. mastacarlos at 1:12am 9th July 2010 For sure..... android is way better. Software and hardware. I agree iphone is nearing its end.... By the way i can't believe apple still hasn't done expandable memory?????
  1. MyDroidlags at 5:13pm 11th July 2010 Why would they need more expandable memory? they come with way more memory then my Droid (motorola)
6. Ladiesman107 at 1:27am 22nd July 2010 If we were to look at facts i'm pretty sure everybody can see that droid is no one particular phone, just a network, which offers you more variety, ok , but we have iphone, its only 1 particular phone that gets upgraded every year or so, if you were to walk up to someone an ask them if they every heard of the iphone they'd say yea because its only made by apple, on the other hand if you were to ask the same person have they ever heard of the droid they'd say yea to but thing is what droid there's so damn many, the person wouldn't know which 1 you were talking about if you just said droid, you'd have to say droid x or droid incredible. when with iphone all you'd have to do is say iphone 4. not the iphone 4 awesome or some other ridiculous name. basically the only people that hate or dislike the iphone 4 is the lame people that never thought to pick up 1
7. Tinku at 3:07am 12th August 2010 Iphone sucks
8. Shelly at 4:14pm 6th September 2010 cant u see the facts up there ^^^^ jesus i hate ppl like you... all the straight up facts are rite infront of ur face and u still deny it... wtf?! seriously?!
9. James at 10:13pm 3rd December 2010 Funny. If you like to be limited, iPhone is great. I love the iPhone and the way Apple markets it. It is a cool phone. But until it can tether and has mobile hotspot ability, it is being left in the dust. Technology passes up marketing any day.
10. Derek Price at 2:53am 13th February 2011 i agree i own iphone4 on contract when my 2nd uprade came up i got a htc disire hd over all the ip4 in my opinion is a long was ahead
