Iphone Vs Droid Razr

[Steven Ladner]

J Francho, I'm curious as well as to what app you used for the video editing. I was going to download iMovie, but read several bad reviews about it having to use your location.

Clary, I'd recommend the 32gb if you plan on having a ton of apps and will do a good bit with video/photos. You don't want to get one that doesn't have enough storage and possibly feeling stuck with it until your contracts up.

[J Francho]

iMovie. It was $5. If you don't want your location revealed, click "no" when it asks.

Iv had both droid phones and an iPhone I stuck with the iPhone over the droid. Yeah apps cost more but there's free ones even if it's not jailbroken but what made me like the iPhone over droids is that my iPhone works flawlessly never freezes never slow. Those with droids how many times do u have to do a hard reset on your droid or have apps suck and screw up your phone not an issue with the iPhone.

Not an issue for any of the newer Android Phones, either. I've heard of those kinds of issues on older phones, but Android seems very stable now from at least 2.1 forward. I've rebooted mine ONCE in the year I've had it.

We've had both. I am an IT professional and prefer Android platform phones. Husband has the iPhone.

I vote iPhone for limited technical savvy folks.

Agreed. Like most of the Apple products. I did some Java development work recently on a high end mac for a small business. Absolutely hated it! Give me a Windoze machine anyday (and I'm not a huge MS fan, either!). The funny part of the whole deal was I was writing Android apps! Odd world sometimes.

[J Francho]

That's funny jeb2. I agree, I wouldn't want to develop a web based enterprise reporting solution that integrates CRM data from two different systems, and call center data from two different ACD products on a MAC either. But this is a phone that I use for fun. I mostly check email, weather, 4square, and card games, along with some photography and video. Oh yeah, I use it to send texts, and call people sometimes, LOL. An iPhone suits me fine. I'm sure that if I bought an Android, it would suit me fine too. It's all what you get used to. I'll tell you this for sure, though: I HATE BLACKBERRY!

I have a HTC and it's been a great phone. I wouldn't be afraid of getting either one. I'd probably base my choice on who gave me the better deal at the time.

[Raider Nation Fisher]

Since I rooted my HTC, I haven't had any problems with lag or battery life. Not that I had lag before, but battery life is bad on most all smartphones. I'd say go for the Droid over the iPhone. You can still get otter boxs and what have you for them. You can listen to and save your music to said device. Plus the operating system seems to work better. However I may be a bit biased seeing as how I can't stand Apple products, and dont really care for the "lifestyle" they seem to push. But that's just MY opinion. And the biggest plus. If your unhappy with the default Android OS, root the phone and change it.

That's funny jeb2. I agree, I wouldn't want to develop a web based enterprise reporting solution that integrates CRM data from two different systems....I'll tell you this for sure, though: I HATE BLACKBERRY!

And that about explains everyday of my life..application architect/analyst SFA.... platform agnostic..cross-platform design....SAP... the unending implementation labrynith of doom...layers...pfffttt...give me open architecture and APIs anyday over ABAP and SAP...

But for the average person either phone is fine. My Galaxy S went into Perry's Landing Marina in Erie as I saved a Bass that decided to shake my jig out of his lip as I dead-lifted him over the rocks.. That ended out being a $500 bass and at 2 lbs was not worth the rescue. Lesson learned - Otter Box for phone or net the fish.

honestly,i used to be a droid guy.but my droid seriously was awesome for the first two months,but then it started to become a piece of crap after that.it starts slowing down and becoming glitchy. I got an iPhone 4 for my birthday and its BA. so smooth,fast,and its just easier to use and can do more. But,that droid razr does look pretty awesome.i dont know what it can do though

[BrianinMD]

A little off topic, but I went from a Droid Incredible to a Galaxy Nexus with the new Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android. Can't really say much about battery life yet, I know it won't be good while using 4g, but this thing is crazy fast (13.6 mps download) in my office which some phones don't get signal. The new software seems very well done, this is my first Android phone without another companies UI on it so that may be part of it. But it is well done.

[jeb2]

I think it's important to understand that some companies phones on the Android OS are better than others. It's not like the Apple world where you're stuck with just one manufacturer. HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etc all make android devices with different pluses and minuses. It seems I hear most issues with the Motorola platform. And usually it's the older stuff. I'd guess that's because they were one of the first on the market with Android devices and they had issues with hardware and software, as bleeding edge products often do.
