Re: WHAT IS BETTER? iPhone 4S or Droid Photon!?

Well it really depends on what you looking for.
Personally... I hate Iphones.
I kinda hate droid too lol.
But with windows mobile pretty much dead in the way of development because of wp7 being soooo restrictive..
I am taking the lesser of 2 evils and going droid. mIts widly customizable and developer friendly.
So far as I know.. iOS5 is still locked up.

as far as specs go...
Here is the iPhone
-3g, for atnt its spouse to be almost 4g because it is able to switch between GSM and CDMA on its own On GSM it can transmit at 1900 MHz, but CDMA only about 800 MHz. And sprint is ONLY CDMA for the iphone.
-3.5 in retina display (640x960 pixle res)
-8 mega pixle rear facing cam, 1.5 front (I think)
-Built in Lithium-ion battery (advertised 8 hour talk time)
-Height: 4.5 inches
-Width: 2.31 inches
-Depth: 0.37 inches
-Weight: 4.9 ounces (140 grams)
-3way gsensor
-Dual Core A5 1.5 Ghz processor


Heres your photon
-4g capable (reverts to 3g when 4g is unavailable)
-4.3 in wvga display (540x950 res)
-8 mega pixel cam
-16gb onboard memory with sdcard slot upgradable to 32gb
-1700 mAh Lithium-ion battery (advertised 10 hour talk time)
-Height: 5 inches
-Width: 2.6 inches
-Depth: 0.5 inches
-Weight: 5.6 ounces (158 grams)
-3way accelorimiter
-1ghz dual core processor



Now on different note.... the iphone only has a one button do it all feature. so your going to have to learn that a single press takes you home and leaves the program you just left still running in the background
and that a long press activates siri.. and that a double press lets you see whats running

the android on the other hand, has the 4 function buttons on the bottom.
home menu back and search
pressing home leaves the app running, pressing back will close it.
not to mension the android market.
and all the FREE NO RISK CUSTIMISATIONS

Sure you have to root to get a few things to work..

But its not like iphone where cydia is only available after jail break. and lets be seriouse now.. thats where all the cool stuff is
