I have Verizon, and my current BlackBerry is dead, so it's new phone time. I had an iPhone before with AT&T, but am not sure if I want another one or to go the Droid route. Does anyone have the Verizon iPhone or have had both of these? I can't make my mind up.
I have a droid incredible and love it. Iphone4 is awesome also just to big for my likeing.......thats what she said :whip2:
AT&T has better data coverage and Verizon has better cell coverage. I am not sure which one is more important to you.
i have an at&t iphone 3g and i cant wait to get out of it. i think it's more at&t than it is the iphone that i dont like
Verizon and Droid, dont look back
Oh the i-phone5 is going to be out in May or June
If you go with the Iphone and never try an Android phone, you will be very happy. Apple makes some cool, easy to use products. (I use an ipad all day) However, if you ever get an android phone (droid, i currently have the EVO from sprint) you will never consider buying an iphone. My EVO will run circles around any iphone. With anything, they take time to figure out to get the most out of them.
If you want simple and easy to use right out of the box go with Iphone..If you want the best, coolest, most useable phone, go with one of the top android phones.
I had the Droid 1 ... I loved it but it finally failed and Verizon replaced it with the Droid 2 ... which I also like a lot. The droids are great phones and extreamly customizable. On that note that iphone is also a great phone. You really can't go wrong!
I like my droid x
I'm in the exact same situation. I think I'm going to go with Droid X. I have been waiting for soemthing new to come out but I don't know how much longer I can wait.
I sell Verizon phones / service. I definitely think that the Droid is a better phone. So many people get "tunnel vision" when it comes to Apple products, & don't look at the actual specs when comparing to a different brand.
IMO, the Droid X is the best product on the market today. It may be outdone once the Droid Bionic or HTC Thunderbolt are realeased, but nobody know when that will be...
Comparing the X to the iPhone 4:
X has a higher MP camera
X plays recorded HD video to your TV via HDMI cable
X has a removable / consumer replaceable battery
X has removable / expandable memory
X has a larger screen
X supports Adobe Flash
X has a built in FM radio tuner
Not to mention that the Android Market is the fastest growing app store around. 500% growth in 2010 vs. 100% for Apple. Not to mention that over 50% of android apps are free compared to 30% of Apple's.
I just dumped verizon on something I was not happy about.
Went over to Sprint and running the HTC Evo now.
I could not be happier with my switch over.
Used to run an Iphone before the Androids hit the scene
The Android phones are definately they way to go if you want all the bells and whistles.
I phone 4 with at&t the only way to go! I love it :z-guntootsmiley:
Another vote for Droid.
I have the Droid X and the maps are awesome on it. It can be like a gps in the car with turn by turn directions, but it also has aerials that are very practical in the woods. I use mine all the time
I dumped the Droid and went to the iPhone last week and couldn't be happier.
Don't get me wrong, the Droid OS is cool. You can do a lot of stuff with it, but I am much more content with the iPhone
After reading a ton of reviews in addition to the comments here, I think I'll be giving an Android phone a go. Now I'm trying to decide X or Incredible. I like the features of the X, but can't imagine toting a laptop-sized phone everywhere.

You might want to read some reviews on the Incredible's battery life. Not an issue for some, but I could never get more than half a day out of mine.
I was concerned about the size of the X at first too. I couldn't see how anyone would want to carry around something that big. But honestly after using it for a few days, it just works so good you totally forget about it being big. The big screen is awesome for using the web + it is just about the only touch-screen phone that I have been able get my fat fingers to type on!
Either way, on VZW you should have 14 days to try one. So if you get 1 & don't like it, take it back & try the other!
I did see that the battery life was an issue really with all of them, but I'm usually around a charger unless I'm in the woods, but I can charge it in the truck...
Isn`t the I-phone having a problem with dropping calls due to the design of their antenna?
The Evo and the Droid X are essentially the same phone.
You get used to it quick and then it dont seem so big.
I actually wish my phone was bigger as it's the older you get so do your eyes type thing with me.
They also make higher capacity batteries for them too, if that becomes an issue.

:welcomeOG:
the reports I saw said the Iphone 4 has the same issues on verizon as it does on Att - if you wrap your hand tightly around the outside edge you lose bars. this seems to be a defect in the placement and size of the antenna.
I'll give you a cautious thumbs up on an Android. Do your homework. Be sure to check the amount of memory, as some phones aren't that great. And, one major warning to you, two different brand Androids, with the same exact version of Android (and I'm not just talking about the top level version, but the numbers after the period as in 2.1xxxx), will have different features from one brand to the next. It's part of the very open operating system business model Google has pursued. I bought an LG Ally thinking one Android is the same as another. My coworkers had a number of features on their alternate brand phones that mine didn't. They were mostly menu choices and options within the same programs. I was thrilled when LG/Verizon provided an update, which covered about 50% of the differences, but now my Ally doesn't have enough memory to support the new operating system and it's slow, locks up, etc. My wife and I bought the same one at the same time and they are both behaving the same since the upgrade.
iphone here
Droid, Verizon and Motorola. I had the original Motorola Droid and then the Motorola Droid X. I'm a big believer in the Motorola hardware. If you need the phone now get the Droid X. If you can wiat a month or so wait and get the Motorola Droid Bionic. All the same features as the X but 4G and has a dual core processor, 1/2 gig memory, HD Video, etc. Bull of a phone.
I had a Iphone... Never again and now I have a galaxy-s droid... Way better phone, the iphone you have to pay for everything... Most of the apps for the droid are free... And AT&T sucks...

Not mine
When I had the iPhone 3G before on AT&T I liked it, but now we are on Verizon, so since the Droid is "their" phone, I'll probably just go that route. I can't wait on the new Bionic to come out - my BB is damn near dead, so it looks like I'll be trying the X. Thanks for all of your input.
