Droid vs iPhone part 6 – final wrap-up
Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Well I’ve been rocking the Droid for two weeks now (and yeah, I’m gonna keep it!), so I figured I should make one final post concerning what I still like about it (or like even more), what’s starting to bug me, and what I miss about the iPhone. I also wanted to address the hit [...]

Droid vs. iPhone part 5 – Final Results! Droid wins! (For me, anyway)
Monday, November 16th, 2009

Summary:
Both the Droid and the iPhone are excellent portable internet devices/mini-computers, but I give the edge to the Droid because of the better network. Droid is a much better phone, but not as good a media player. So it depends on your needs – if, like me, you’re more concerned with the phone and coverage [...]

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Unbelievably, the reception/voice quality of my iPhone 3Gs was even worse than my original iPhone (2G). Even with 3 bars showing, I was unable to make or receive calls. When I switched off 3G, I was able to make and receive calls, but people sounded like they had mouths full of gravel.

iPhone 3GS – does it have the Killer App?
Sunday, November 8th, 2009

I’ve had a 2G iPhone (calling the 1st generation “2G” is confusing but there you have it) for over 2 years and have been very happy with it – as an Internet device. As a  phone, it’s always left something to be desired. Lately however it’s been driving me batty. I’m not sure if it’s [...]
