| IPhone vs Droid vs ?: opinions please Which mobile phone do you like most and why? (I know this has been asked before, but things change rapidly ) My needs are simple: phone calls and navigation. I currently have AT&T, but I would be willing to change.

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | I have the iphone love it But i also have the ipad2 so they work together very well. All I really do is watch yt fb and play a few games. Lots of great apps for me and my grand daughter. (who is 3) she can run it as well as me. And lots of learning games. The only thing you can not do is watch flash video's Which has not been any big deal for me. You can watch netflix on it and most others just not the flash ones. We use Verizon just because it works well with my dh's trucking. I do not know much about the droid. Oh yes and i use mine to geo cache.

| I have to agree. The Iphone is awesome. I have Verizon, but have had AT&T before. I love how useful it is. I can take pictures, video, watch movies, and surf the web. Plus my school has an App on the Iphone so I can check my grades and assignments

| I like droid better it has as many apps as the iphone if not more. I also prefer verizon because they have the best service around here where I live. My dad also has the droid and loves it as well and does a lot on his phone like anything you could imagine lol

| I adore my iPhone and I always have. I've messed around with a few Droids, and I'm not a huge fan. iPhone just makes more sense to me, and seems more user-friendly.

| I have a Droid and I love it!! Verizon I think its the best as for as service. I honestly don't know what you can do on the Iphone, that you cant do on the Droid.

| Good question. I don't have either one at the moment and it's something I was asking myself as well. So I'll be watching this thread carefully. As I'll be changing my phone (not intelligent) after the new year. It'll help me to make up my mind. LOL

| I have an Iphone and LOVE it. I'm a 60 year old grandmother who can get very confused on how electronic gadgets work. I have no problems with the Iphone, it's so easy to use.

| I reccomend any of the Samsung Galaxy phones. I chronically blow through phones ( I work for Sprint.. and I can get a good cost on them) but for the past year and a half I've stuck with my Samsung Galaxy S. The Samsung Galaxy S2 is now out and as soon as my phone dies (if it ever does :P) I'll be moving to that one. It's an Android phone, so it has all of the android market apps and features. It also has a keyboard.. a MUST for me. They make the Galaxy phones for many carriers, so just pick your carrier based upon coverage and cost that suits you, and then look at phones. Go to the store and play with them, see which layout feels like the best fit for you. I would definitely go with an android platform phone or an iphone though, they can do so much. I would not go with a blackberry or a windows phone personally, but that's just me. Last edited by pandaleigh; 12-14-2011 at 10:53 AM. |

| I like the iphone. It's very user friendly in a way that just makes sense. The droid you seem to have to know how to navigate around. But when comparing iphone to droid...it depends what droid. The iphone is the iphone while the droid can be any number of phones by different manufacturers ie: motorola, samsung, etc. I think you need to know what you're comparing to make an informed choice. For me talking, texting, taking pics, music and just a few apps are my main things. The iphone works best for this for me. My son, an engineering student, prefers the droid. He likes the bigger screen, graphics, ability to stack apps, it's lighter weight and faster download times.

| I have had the iPhone since it came out and currently have the 4 (DH has the 4S) and we both absolutely love our phones. I just wish they had better cameras, but other than that... I have no complaints

| Thank you everyone for your input. I am an Apple fan, so that coupled with responses here, have me leaning toward the IPhone. My current service AT&T has them on sale 50% off, woohoo! 16 or 32GB? I wouldn't use it for playing games or a whole lot of texting. Pictures I would offload to my computer.
