Any Droid Users? ..... Do You Like The Features? ..... Is It Worth All The Hoopla .....?

GEORGIA ON

I have a Samsung something or other (just another Iphone wannabe) and I want to get a new Iphone or the Droid. I drive for Fedex Express and I've delivered dozens of the new Droids and was wondering if anyone has one and can give me some tips on how well it works. Any information is useful to me ... so start giving. Please ... (smiling)

The Palm Pre and the My Touch I don't care about. What do you think???

Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer! just give me time to get back and read the answers.
Shank : A most excellent answer! Thanks! Tie breaker goes to Verizon. AT&T is not even close and the apps aren't the most important feature for me. I won't ever use more than one hundred of them if any at all. Your grid doesn't work either. Great answer anyway! Thanks again!

Answer
I said it deeply depends on your expectations. Here's my thoughts.

iPhone:

Advantages:

Apps, apps, and more apps most popular by far.
Easy to use and works well with iTunes as a manager of Contacts, photos, music, video etc.
Future advancements with software updates and good support with manufacturer issues.
The phone itself is sexy and provides many accessories available to customize it.
Voice recording

Disadvantages:
3.0 Megapixel camera
Ability to run multiple applications at once
GPS used differently and not as accurate as standalone GPS
Enclosed Battery
No physical keyboard
3.5" screen
Lower Resolution Display

Droid:

Advantages:
5.0 Megapixel camera
Multiple applications can be run at once. Faster multitasking.
Qwerty Keyboard.
Removable Battery
3.7" Screen
Higher Resolution Display

Disadvantages:
App store still smaller than Iphone
Not so sexy.


Tie Breaker: ATT vs. VZW

Not sure if this is what you were looking for. All advantages and disadvantages based off off each other. Hopefully this helps in your buying decision. Both are amazing phones!

I included another grid for reference. :)

What android apps should a taxi driver have?

iphone photo apps mashable image

William

I work in the Newport News/Virginia Beach area. What are the must_have android apps for taxi drivers in my area?

Answer
HopStop (Free)

Those of you who donât live in a city, this wonât be an app for you, but those of you in New York City or other cities full of complicated subway and bus routes, HopStop is one of our favorite services. The Android app (m.hopstop.com works as well), but itâs the most accurate subway and bus navigation system weâve used. You do have to know the address of your location, but HopStop does a good job guiding you to more generic locations like an intersection, which some services struggle with. It also maps out how long it will take you to walk around, features a lot of flexible options to modify your route, and lets you save routes for the future and view them offline, which is helpful if youâre underground. Give it a try. (The tablet version is coming soon.)



Weather Channel (Free)

This is the weather app youâll find yourself checking before you even crack the blinds in the morning. Besides offering accurate current conditions with extreme detail down to wind speed, humidity and UV index, the Weather Channelâs app offers hourly and 10-day forecasts for planning ahead, plus advanced features like animated weather radar.



Google Voice (Free)

With Google Voice, you get a free number for receiving calls, sending texts, and even receive access to your voicemail and text messages over the Web. With the Android app, you can even keep your true mobile number private by making outgoing calls using your Google Voice number instead. Another handy feature is voicemail transcription, which automatically transcribes your voicemails to text so you can read them like e-mail.



iTriage Mobile Health (Free)

Created by doctors, this app is designed to give users quick and easy access to medical info as well as nearby treatment facilities. With just a few clicks, users can find the nearest medical facility based on need (emergency, urgent care, pharmacy, etc.) and quickly use built-in Google Maps to navigate to the destination. The app also features a symptom-checker, doctor directory, and information about diseases and procedures.



Opera Mini Web Browser (Free)

We loved the drastic speed boost from Opera Mini on the iPhone, and it delivers the same shot of adrenaline on Android. Opera greases the wheels of the Web using special servers that compress pages prior to sending them to your phone. Besides using less bandwidth, pages appear in a fraction of the time, which makes it the go-to browser when you need to know who won the World Series in 1964, the colors of the Estonian flag, or the population of Miami in a flash.



Pulse News (Free)

This free app is a great reader for those who like to get their daily dose of news or gossip on their Android device. Pulse lets users select up to 30 online sources to pull from, and then creates clean, magazine-like pages that feature thumbnail photos and headlines from each source. Most articles or blogs can be easily read within the app, and the sources update in a flash. Itâs the perfect substitute for your morning or evening Internet scan. Add sources like CNN, Gawker, Salon, Wet Paint, MSNBC, and Mashable.
