iPhone or Android? This might be a question I’ll be asking myself for a while as I recently had my first Android experience on the Motorola Droid, and I loved it. I am already an iPhone user, and have been so for a while. But still, I have Droid envy.
You’ve heard of iPhone envy, right? Well I am a proud iPhone user, but I just had my first experience with Android, and I absolutely love it.
The other day a friend of mine and I went to get him a new phone. Him being a Verizon customer I suggested to him that he get the Droid as it is one of the best smart phones on the market. He liked the phone so he got it, and from my short experience, it truly seemed like a great mobile device.
This was my first real sit down experience with any device running Android, and I must say that I think I like it a lot. Almost better than my iPhone.
Android is if course an open-source OS, as the iPhone OS is determinately not. Because of this I jailbroke my phone a while back to give it a better feel. The iPhone’s stock interface is nice, but I like tweaking things. But then there us Android. It’s everything I could ask for right out of the box. Customizable, no app limits, and the best part, I’m not a slave to Apple.
There are a lot of things about the Droid itself that make me loathe my iPhone(not that I actually do). Things like the keyboard, the LED flash 5 MP camera, a removable battery, the “Batman like” feel, and a lot more. The iPhone lacks all of these things, but I still enjoy the simplicity that the iPhone has, and I’m not quite ready to give that up for another phone quite yet unless Google does something that just blows the iPhone out of the water, and I can see that happening very soon.
As far as the companies go, I definitely trust Google a Hell of a lot more than Apple. I’ve been using Google’s tools like Gmail, and calender for a long time now so going with them would just make sense. Apple also seems pretty shady, and kinda fascist.
I went from Windows mobile, to the iPhone, and who knows, I may soon go to Android.
What do you guys think? Android, or iPhone OS? Will either of them come out on top in the end, or are we going to leave that to Rim, and Microsoft?
Oh, one other thing, I think I cured my envy by making my SMS sound the same one from the Droid. YAY, Winterboard!
