iPhone 4 vs droid bionic

Why did you go with the D3, rather than wait for Bionic? Tired of waiting or wanted physical kb?

I prefer the 4' screen over the 4.3', no 4g lte in my area and no plans for it yet either (the phone is fast on wifi anyways), great specs (other than 512mb ram), $100 cheaper, last and not least the physical keyboard

If I didn't live in an LTE market, I would be tempted to get an iPhone just because of the hardware. Because PSU and the Philly metro area both have LTE, I am getting the Bionic instead.

Ok day one is in the books. Here is the things I did not really like.
1. The touch screen is not always responsive.
2. Their are no apps to download music for free I'm sorry I got use to not paying 1.99 for a song.
3. The ringtones blow.

That would be the big 3 for today I think I'm starting to realize that I am a sucker for customization , perhaps I will grow use to it but today I missed my droid. See you wall tomorrow.

i agree with the comments about not being able to customize but the phone is smooth.i had iphone 1,2and3 and as soon as i got my droid i never looked back i hacked my iphones but never did anything like what i did on my droid and im still finding stuff i can do two years later.My friend has a iphone 4 and the screen is crap the battery is crap he has used my droid thats 2 years older because his iphone was not working or the battery was dead way before mine android is the hacker phone if you want a phone email and mp3 go for the iphone if you want to hack and do anything under the sun with your phone go with the bionic

Lol don't be mistaken people I expect to hate this thing and love the bionic. But if I'm wrong and this heavy ass phone is better I will trade my bionic back in and become one of the idouches that I hate so much

My verizon rep said you can only use the 14 day return thing once. Don't know how true that is.

-Safari is a little bit faster than the android browser, but not by much


-Notifications - SMS goes to iPhone because it's a pop up you can't miss, everything else goes to Android, I like the notification bar on the top of the screen. iPhone you would get a red bubble with a # in it if something new comes through. IMHO blackberry is the king of notifications, and that is the one thing I wish i could have kept from my Storm 2...

A few things I have noticed about my wife's iPhone 4:

I hate iPhone's watered down internet. i set my Dolphin HD browser to desktop and I get the same exact 100% internet as if i were on a computer.

No Google navigation. This is by far the best app on android and in iphone it only gives you maps.

On the notifications you should try handcent. It gives you a pop up window. Also I don't know what it is, but every time I get a picture message from an iPhone it plays it as a video.
