Comments on: Motorola Droid vs. Apple iPhone 3GS http://www.dancewithshadows.com/tech/motorola-droid-vs-apple-iphone-3gs/ Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:15:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Mike http://www.dancewithshadows.com/tech/motorola-droid-vs-apple-iphone-3gs/#comment-9561 Mike Sat, 23 Jan 2010 06:09:18 +0000 http://www.dancewithshadows.com/tech/?p=1823#comment-9561 The three main things I see as an advantage on the iPhone is : 1. It feels good in your hands. The droid feels like the same cheesy piece of plastic as do all slider phones. 2. No real moving parts. I have personally delt with several slider type phones that fall apart quite frequently. Anyone with knowledge of mechanical things knows that the more pieces that move the faster it will break. 3. 99% touchscreen I mean would you buy a typewriter to replace your laptop? I think not! Even computers are going touchscreen and there must be a reason. The three main things I see as an advantage on the iPhone is :

One of the things reviewers often miss WRT a disadvantage of the iPhone, is what for me is THE REASON I will never buy one. MUSIC! With the iPhone, you have to use quicktime, itunes, a proprietory cable. You cannot drag and drop folders of music to and from your phone. I detest all of that (and I own two mac computers of my own). I like being able to plug in to a generic USB, on ANY computer anywhere, and just add or remove or copy music to and from the device as much as I want, no interference from a freak controlling Apple. This would make iPhone (or an iPod for that matter) completely unacceptable to me. Mark UK. Hi
