1) Iphone, 1Ghz
Droid 1.2Ghz.... Dual Core.
2) Iphones DO NOT HAVE 4G.... ok fine, half of them do, but the people that got one with at&t already are screwed into a subscription.
Droids do.
3) It's illegal to put any other operating system on an Iphone. Apple reserves the right to press charges if you do. Anyways, there are no alternative systems for Iphones in the first place.
Droids on the other hand, they have Cyanogenmod, which in my opinion both outclasses IOS4.1 and Honeycomb.
4) Cameras
4G camera, 5MP, yes it does take better pictures.
Droids, 8 MP, lower quality pictures.... unless you want to actually zoom in. An Iphone will just distort an image while Droids have a TRUE zoom.
Video, I'm not even going to compare, Droids win that.
5) All of the apps there there are for an Iphone, there are for a Droid. That simple.
People make these threads simply because they want to see what people actually think, unlike places like CNET which are completely analytics. They want to see actual people's opinions before they buy something.
