edited December 21 in Chit-Chat
I am with Verizon and can get an upgrade. My husband has an IPhone and we do love it. But, I hate that it does not have a place for a MicroSD card So that means you have to buy a phone with more memory.

Anyway, what phone is better? Which one should I get? Thanks!

    I have a Droid and love it.

    Purely a personal preference.

    Had a droid and recently switched to an iphone. There are pros and cons of both phones, but over all I am enjoying the iphone. The one thing I miss the most from my droid are the widgets.

    In my experience, whichever phone you buy you will grow to love and hate it in equal measure.

    I had a Droid, and it had multiple problems. Half the time my apps either wouldn't open or would always 'force close' and then my email completely quit working. I have known other people to have similar issues with their droid.

    I upgraded to an iPhone a couple months ago- and I will never go back! It's fast and works perfectly all the time!

    I have two Android devices. I've never owned an Apple product, but I have used them. I agree that there are pros and cons to each, but at the end of the day I sided with lower prices, more device selection, more free apps, and Linux under the hood.

    Oh no...I am serious. I really do not want to start a fight or battle. I have a crap Samsung phone. So, I am really looking for advice. I am thinking of the 32G IPhone only so it can hold tons of pictures. But with a Droid, I could buy a lower memory Droid and just put in my SD card that I already have.

    So....people, be nice. This is a legit question. I was even thinking about HTC, but those reviews are not as good.

    depends. how phone savvy are you? if not so much, just get an iphone. you just have to turn it on and use it, super easy. droids can be used like that, but are more customizable and you can do a whole lot more with them when it comes to technology and such.. i personally like my droid better than the iphone :)

    Droid for me. Verizon should have the new Samsung Galaxy 3 by the end of the month, quite the phone to say the least.

    I agree, the iphone is easier to learn. Going from droid to iphone was easy as hell.

    My wife has an iPhone and I have a Droid. Like someone else indicated, they both have pro's and con's, but having one of each allows you to exploit the best features of each. Like the GPS nav is so much better on the Droid, but the iPhone has apps that are so much than the Droid.

    My whole family has iPhones and loves them. But you need to check out what is offered with each, and which suits your needs. Good luck!!!

    any phone you get will have issues like this, especially when you have a lot of apps on it. i know quite a few people who have had app issues and even calling issues with iphones. i really don't think one is "better" than the other. they are just different and it's personal preference, imo.

    I have the new Droid Razr and LOVE it!! I have been using Droids for 3 years now, and never had any problems.

    If you are like some people out there and will use a phone until it pretty much dies, then go with the iPhone. Android OS is not supported beyond 2 years while Apple pushes iOS to all platforms.

    If you are a serious tech geek and like the freedom of tweaking with the OS, go Droid.

    If you just want it to work, go iPhone.

    I just switched from Droid to Iphone. I had a 16 Gig SD card on my Droid and didn't even come close to filling it up. The screen cracked on my Droid which I liked a lot but I figured I'd go the Iphone route.

    I'm not that worried about the storage space on the Iphone because of the Cloud

    I have to say, I love the android market...but not in love with my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy, 1st generation and everyone I have talked to has had the same issues. Good news...they have come out with a Galaxy II and I have heard the bugs have been worked out and it is great. My husband is getting the Samsung Note soon. I plan to wait until they are sure there are no issues before I get mine. (besides, my contract isn't due until Jan)

    Good luck!!

    No need for an SD card when you have iCloud with the Apple. There are aps for Google's cloud as well. Just sayin'

    I am pretty computer/Phone savvy. When we were with AT&T, I had a Black Jack and LOVED it. With Verizon I dropped to the Samsung Reality (to be cheap) and I just do not like it.

    Hmmmm...that is a really good point! Have one of each so you have the nest of both worlds. Honestly, I am such a nerd, I would love a phone that can do a lot of stuff...I seriously love technology!!!

    We turned that feature off because I was afraid that it would upload some pictures automatically that we wanted to keep private. :blushing:

    My moment to switch is coming up too.

    I have had problems with my Android. Lots of bugs in the system, it hardly seems to work 100% correctly.
    I just want to know if iPhone users go through the same thing? Has an iPhone ever began to bug out and need to be taken back to get rebuilt? The iPhone doesnt look like it gets alot of problems, but i've never owned my own so I dont know for sure.

    if you want a phone that just works. You are told what to like and how to do things. The iPhone is for you.

    if you want the freedom to do things how you want (admittedly with some overhead) and you like tweaking your phone, the droid is for you.

    I can't sum it up better than this.

    Also remember Android is an operating system...like Windows. It can work on a multitude of phones. Just because one phone is not the greatest doesn't mean you should fault the OS.

    I own a droid x and I love it.
