max power Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I know its been discussed before, but I'm having trouble deciding on which phones to replace our current Drois 2's with.These are the advantages as at see it at the moment. I may be wrong since I've only read about the different phones and have no real experience with either.Droid advantages: - already familliar with the platform- cheaper $200/pair- supposedly kick ass battery- free appsIPhone advantages: - more reliable- seem to be faster- good battery- better cameraI'm no Apple fanboy, but the iPhone is better on paper, AND $400 with a 2 year re-up with verizon. The RazorMax's are $200/2 year.Does anyone have experience with both that can lay out an objective opinion?

QuikAccord Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 The iPhone has an extremely high resolution display screen pixels so small they can not be seen with the naked eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplysix Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 switched phones a few a months ago and was in the same situation. Decided to go with the iphone 4S and couldnt be happier. As mentioned above, the display is amamzing. Siri is nice when you want it, web surfing and processing is quick. And the aftermarket products are awesome. (apple tv, armbands, speaker docks, cases, etc etc.Never been a apple fanboy, but I still gotta vote Iphone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Maybe its just the Motorola, but these Droid 2's have never been all that great and mine locks up a few times a week and has to be plugged in all the time when surfing the net or listening to music.

Is there a way to back up the apps, or do you just download them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Iphones are so damn overrated, I like the Droid system. Not a fan of the Motorola phones but hard to go wrong with Samsung or HTC IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUYZFR1 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Agree. I had both an iPhone for personal and a droid x for work. Ended up taking the iPhone in the ocean and ruined it, had to use the droid full time for a couple weeks. Couldn't take it anymore as it sucks compared to the iPhone. Scrolling is choppy, locked up multiple times and had to pull the battery. My boss told me to just switch it out with an iPhone which I did. I wasn't an apple fanboy a couple years ago but turned into one after using the products. This latest experience only confirms my beliefs. Nothing comes close to the iPhone. Also the apple 'ecosystem' can't be touched either.Maybe its just the Motorola, but these Droid 2's have never been all that great and mine locks up a few times a week and has to be plugged in all the time when surfing the net or listening to music.

jblosser Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 backup pictures, music, texts (if you want), contacts (if you're using G-Mail you don't need to).As Jst2Slow said (I think...!), anything you've downloaded from the Play Store (f.k.a. Google Apps, iirc) or from Amazon will still be there for you to re-download.You could move your apps to your SD card if you wanted, but I find it easier to just put back what I need, when I need it instead of having 8000 apps on the phone.

coldsoda Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Droid Bionic with extended battery has not missed one beat in almost a year...+1 my Motorola Bionic has been going strong as well, had it since May 2011. Extended battery gets me two days with average use (got battery same time I got the phone). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Do I need the 32GB or is the 16GB sufficient? There is a $100 difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
