3G Smartphone
My husband and I each bought a 3G smartphone a few months ago. We intentionally picked two different phones because he is a software developer and hopes to create some apps for both phones down the road. I have the iPhone and he has the Android. I am more familiar with the iPhone while he is more familiar with the Android. I’ve come to my own conclusions and have also researched online to find the pros and cons of both phones.
The pros of an Android phone is that it is not limited to the Safari browser which does not have flash as this point. The default browser is faster on the Android. Also while working on Facebook, for example, the notification system alerts you to incoming voice messages, or email. Also, the Android has an open source access so anyone can improve on applications because it is transparent to various possibilities. And various carriers can sell the Android phone. It’s not limited to AT&T as a carrier as the iPhone is.
My personal experience with the iPhone will highlight what I like about it. It’s one component whereas the Android has a separate keyboard. The screen on the iPhone is a bit bigger than the Android. I seemed to have learned the functions of the iPhone faster than my husband has with becoming familiar with the Android. I love the ease of the iPhone, especially downloading apps from the app store. There are developers for the iPhone now so the system is not totally closed off to Apple workers. The sound that comes through on the iPhone is amazing. I have not checked out the app store for apps for the Android but that is equally good in both phones.
Basically, I love the iPhone but there are some drawbacks I don’t like. I have not figured out a way to leave one application and go to another without pressing a button to get me back to the icon page. Any page that is up when I am not using the phone will be the first one up next time. I must admit I don’t know if there is a possibility to change that in the settings so I can’t determine that for sure. It would be nice to have other carriers for the iPhone because that is limiting. My 8 gigabyte phone does not have a flash when taking picture nor does it have video.
However, the Android does have that. I would conclude that both phones have pros and cons but being a person who likes simplicity, I am totally happy with my iPhone. It would take some good convincing to give up my iPhone for an Android and down the road, who knows that might happen but not right now.
