Edition Mobile phone Series IPhone 4 VS Droid Incredible

The iPhone 4 has gone on Verizon's network. But the Droid line of smart phones, operating Google's open source Android operating system, is already there and it's not going across town! In an earlier content, I equated the iPhone 4 to the Droid X, Verizon's top-of-the-line Android mobile phone.

Nowadays let's find how it comes even close to the Droid Incredible:

Verizon's financial position Droid, at only $ 99. Droid does HTC tells that the Droid Incredible was instigated by an Italian sports car. It's not as minimalist as the iPhone 4's streamlined, industrial blueprint, but the side rails along the back draw you hold the phone (per the Engaged review), and the extra buttons on the front serve a purpose.

The fare is concealed in most apps until you tap the Droid's Menu key, freeing you from diversions; and the optical track pad looks in vain at first sight, but when you need to position the cursor while working with text it's a life saver.

In view the Droid Incredible is an Android phone; it can do what the iPhone ca n't. While you’re browsing the web, it reflows text to suit the screen width, so that you do not have to scroll horizontally while you’re zoomed in.

It can use a modified kind of Flash, and the home screens can fun widgets, like the Mint finance one that lets you see your bank proportion easily and quickly.

HTC's Sense interface takes Android to a new level, with sleek custom apps and widgets that let you easily check Facebook and Twitter.

It also lets you pinch the screen to zoom out, and see all of your home screens at once. HTC Sense is shiny, and the animated weather widget is a nice touch.

Droid does not The Droid's most obvious hardware deficiency, compared to the iPhone 4, is its lack of a front-facing camera.

Its primary camera has an 8 mega pixel resolution, compared to the phone’s 5, but unlike the iPhone it ca n't record HD video.

The Droid also has a maximum of 40 GB of storage, Toshiba pa3533u-1brs battery compared to the iPhone's 16 or 32 GB, but only if you buy a 32 GB memory card for it; it only has 8 GB built in.

And you'll need at least a cheap 2 GB memory card, because some apps require it. Speaking of apps, the Droid lets you buy them from Google's Android Market, which has over 150,000 according to Google CEO Eric Schmidt. But what he does not say is that one reason that number is growing so quickly is because it's much easier to put an app on the Android Market than it is on the iTunes App Store.

There's no approval process, and many of the "apps" are just ring tones and wallpaper packs. The Droid does have access to the essentials, like eBay and Angry Birds... but it’s also loaded with garbage Verizon apps that you ca n't uninstall, unlike the Verizon iPhone.

Eventually, the Droid's AMOLED display is not as sharp as the iPhone's Retina Display, and looks washed-out when you’re outdoors.

The verdict the $ 100 savings over the iPhone does not stack up to the cost of a data plan. If you like Android's features go with the Droid Incredible; otherwise, go for the iPhone.

Retain in idea that both are going to walk out date soon, though, with 4G Android phones and this year's new iPhone model on the way.
