iPhone 4 vs Droid X (Comparison)
Both iPhone 4 and Droid X are very refined, high quality touch phones. The iPhone 4 have some disadvantages over the Droid X in terms of battery life and Flash (The biggest flaw on any Apple mobile device). The speed of the iPhone 4, and its superb video and audio conferencing ability bested the Droid X, but barely. While the Droid X has the 8 MP Camera, iPhone 4 has geotagging and tap-to-focus, which allows the user to clarify the picture, such as reducing or increasing the amount of light in it. One important thing most iPhone devices miss out (iPad, iPhone 3g, 3gs, and 4) is to act as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Also, holding the iPhone 4 a certain way suddenly cuts down the Wi-Fi from 5 bars to 2, or sometimes even slower.
As for the apps, Apple has more apps than any other phone/ phone company will have. However, the Apple app market restricts its customers from "outside sources", which include getting apps from unauthorized people. The Android Market has about 4x less apps, but it legalizes dealings with other "unauthorized" users who have created their own apps. iPhone 4 only comes with 16 or 32 GB Storage, but does not have any expendable storage, while Droid X comes with a MicroSD 16 GB external storage along with the meager 8 GB internal storage it comes along with. The MicroSD also can be bought with 32 GB storage, which boosts the Droid X's total internal and external storage to 40 GB.
iPhone 4 has the edge in speed, front-facing video conferencing camera, and app variety in the "legalized" market. However, the Droid X can harvest up to 8 GB more internal-and-external memory, support a better camera (Dual LED, 8 MP), and act as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Seeing these specs, I would go with the Droid X. What would YOU go with?
