Lately, I have been going back and forth trying to decide should I get the iphone on the google phone and it has been killing me. Currently I have Verizon and as we all know is that Verizon has higher customer satisfaction and more towers which give less drop calls than any other service. With AT&T they have the iphone but do not have as many towers causing dropped calls. So let’s take a look at some of things going into my decision.
Question: Who has the better phone plan between Verizon and AT&T?
Answer: In terms of plan it will probably range from $80 to $100 with the data plans I want with either phone but AT&T has roll over minutes which I really like and Verizon has not taken a liking towards that yet.
Question: Which phone is better?
Answer: I look at this from a customer standpoint and developer standpoint. As a consumer iphone has very organized app store and strong brand with customer satisfaction with the iphone than the Android. The Android operating system will be placed on more phones but I haven’t seen it operate on any attractive phone and their app store is nothing to get excited about. Also from a developer standpoint the iphone owns alot of the smart phone market share and you could generate alot of money from developing an app for the iphone. Also since Apple develops the operating system and hardware for the phone the iphone has a higher compatibility rating than any phone out there. The Android has to be made to be a adaptable operating system since it is a open-source operating system which will be on phones and eventually netbooks. So if the vendor does not study it in and out it will not fully utilize the capabilities contained within it.
The Droid phone is coming to Verizon phone from what I have heard in November (don’t quote me, lol). So I will love to see who wins when it drops into stores than I will test it out so I can switch from my unattractive phone.
One thing I know for certain is that if Verizon had the iphone I wouldn’t have this problem! Let me know what you think?

I think the main problem with Android is that it is adapted for each phone manufactuer. While the core system services may be the same, the front-end is often modified by various carriers. From a developer standpoint, this can create issues in that there is no uniformity between the multiple manufactuers. A program could run differently on a HTC handset vs a Motorola one.
yo man there are more users using the ATT 3G towers which leads to dropped calls because of the vast amount of date being transmitted. If you are not a heavy data user you cant switch over to the EDGE network and not worry nearly as much about calls being dropped. Lastly, if you want to stay fresh and with the rest of the world drop Verizon lol.
