This morning I was getting a ready for this meeting had which is a hour away. I’m running around making sure everything is good and studying the night before to make sure I’m on point with my information. I finally get there and find out the meeting is canceled after I get there and it was a ruff drive getting there. Turns out the lady sent me an email stating 2 hours before I got there that it was canceled. I didn’t find out because I have been having trouble getting exchange active sync for the server to work with the droid pre-built application for emails. So someone that I know has the android phone and suggested I use the program that he had that came with his phone for the HTC called work email. As soon as I downloaded and inputted the information for the server IT WORKED!!! I was so happy because it will keep me from missing very important emails and keep my constantly up to date.

So I wanted to share it with everyone so everyone don’t have to go through what I went through. Here is the download. After you download it make sure you have your information for the server handy and active sync for your account activated and you are good to go!

After much debate and researching you probably won’t guess what phone I got! The Droid! You will probably see from my previous article, I was leaning a little towards the iphone but I guess I have to give my reasoning for getting the Droid. First let me pull out a comparison chart.

Specifications	Motorola Droid	Iphone
Picture
Memory (GB)	16	8
Display (pixels)	480×854	480×320
Camera (megapixels)	5	3.2
Weight (ounces)	7	6
Sound Quality	Good	Good
Talk Time (hours)	6.4	5
Multi-tasking	Yes	No
Multi-touch	Capable but not enabled	Yes

Now after looking at this chart you it will appear that the droid has out class the iphone but apple also has the iphone 3GS. Which has 16GB and faster processor. Also even though droid has better megapixels than the iphone the picture on the iphone looks better.When looking smartphones it really is a hard pick to choose which one you want because they possess so many capabilities and can be manipulated to cater to almost anybody. For example the iphone may not be able to multi-task but when jail broken it can multi-task. Jail breaking iphones is the act of hacking the operating system into an open operating system allowing you multi-task, download free apps, third-party apps and manipulate according to your liking.

So when it comes to me choosing a phone I look at the things I can’t change myself for example hardware and network speed. Reason why I choose the Droid is because it has a fast processor and Verizon as it’s network provider in which I greatly love their internet speed. And I have tested the AT&T connection it is good in a certain spots but not stable as Verizon. I will also say with usability the Droid is straight forward and simple as with the Iphone but I consider the usability on the Iphone more enjoyable. Probably because of the multi-touch, I wish they had that enabled for the droid already. But Google didn’t want to violate the patent by Apple and keep a good relationship between them. But I think Google still made the Droid to still be able to use multi-touch so someone could enable it themselves or release an update for it after things get settled with that.

When it comes down to picking a phone make sure you pick the one that relates to your personality and the way you are. I recognize that is always the best pick when selecting anytype of technology. So you must ask yourself are you a droid or an iphone?
