I have both. iPhone3 & DroidX.
The android is aggravating. A few examples: Want visual voice mail? Add 2$/month for a Verizon app that does not always work. Want callerid to show the city? add $15. I feel like I am being nickel and dimed (and I am) Apps are fixed. There are 2 dozen or so apps that you can’t get rid of. Some ass at Verizon made deals so these apps are fixed in the Verizon Android OS(Blockbuster video rental for example) These fixed apps take prime real-estate, but you cannot remove or move them.
3 way calls are 10 times easier on the iPHONE. Want to merge in a call? On the iPhone its one button. On the android, it’s much tougher if you need to make the 3rd call.
Mp3 player compared to iPod in iphone. Don’t kid yourself. It’s not close. The android market is clunky, gross and quite frankly is years behind Apple.
The Android requires a pin to be entered once you connect it to exchange. You cannot get rid of it.
The Android takes nice video, I like the camera better. If I was a unix hacker, I guess it would be much more fun. The android has a hotspot. I love that. I can change the battery. I can tweak power and can get a couple of days out of phone.
The bottom line for me is that the android specs don’t translate to ease of use.
When the next iPhone with a hotspot comes out, I will break my DroidX contract.
