Iphone 4 versus Android 2 from Verizon. this newbie needs help picking one!?

[Katie]

I am finally giving up my little flip phone to go smart! Have verizon, should I get an Iphone (the one for 200 dollars) or some kind of droid phone (like the 2). I know little to anything about these phones and just got my first igadet (the ipad2 though can't use it as a phone). Any help for my tech naive self would surely be appreciated

 

[Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread]

Android.

What do people continue to buy iphone?
------- think of it... Iphones are "easier" to use. They have VERY LITTLE customization power, thus requiring VERY LITTLE brain power to setup and use the phone. (yes i went there). Less brain power = very easily controlled population... **cough** 1984 all over again! **cough** ITs a plug n play device. Turn it on and walla... it works.

Iphone customers really dont care about personalization or customization.. If it looks purdie and shinie... they'll buy it... They dont care about spec or ability ir functionality... thye just wanna look cool and "fit in"...

Moreover, Iphone was the first modern smartphone on the market. ITs been flashed around everywhere, movies, tv, radios, commercials, magazines, etc.. so the social stigmatism has been set in... and to this heavily influenced by social media and cant make thier own decisions or investigate other markets.. well.. want what they see.

Then, you got the status symbol group. People who want to look Beverly Hills rich... nuff siad there...

Then you have a group I love... the nerds... the only get the Iphone for 1 purpose.. to jailbreak it... Some even rip the iOS ROM off it and put Android OS ROMs on it... and call it iDroids.. big sellers actually.. LOL

Iphone is outdated.. it still wont have 4G HSPA+ and 4G LTE in 2011 on this Iphone 5 or 4S or whatever the idoits are gonna call it. TipB says 4G will come to Iphone 6 in with the A6 core 2012. Im Like wow, no fan luv there. LMAO

Now they say Iphone 5 will be the android killer... LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO... They been saying that since iphone 4...

What funny is that Iphone prides itself on innovation... then android came along and kill thier innovation.. they just cant keep up... now, they made iOS 5... which, to the idiots reading this... its a pure classic rip off copy-cat of Android 2.3.3 OS Gingerbread... So, no more cool things for Iphone... just rip off Google Android.. LMAO... im flattered.. you say our phones and technology is junk and stupid, yet your make your newest god-like righteous iOS 5 firmware based on "junk and stupid" technology... LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

Iphone is a joke... the new Palm Centro!




Great Android phones from Verizon: HTC Thunderbolt 4g LTE, LG Revolution 4G LTE, Droid Incredible 2, Motorola Droid X2, Samsung Droid Charge 4g LTE

Depends. Iphone has its advantages and so does android(droid 2)

On android you have more apps that are free but some are add-supported(try to get you to click adds)
While iphone has more apps overall but you have to buy most of them.

These to phones have the same processor(they are both about the same speed)

Both a touch screen.

The droid 2 has a full slide out keyboard while the iphone has only touch operated keyboard.
It really comes down to what you prefer, personally I would recommend you get the Android .

Hope this helps!
