I've always been an iPhone girl, but my guy is all about his Droid. At least, he has been until now. A series of dropped calls, malfunctions, and even a Verizon-issued replacement Droid has him thinking about saying goodbye. To be fair, I know a number of people who are extremely happy with their Droids. I, for one, love the Android OS. It's full of useful features and apps, and hands-down has a Read more

From the beginning, the Motorola Droid has been marketed towards guys. Just let the commercials and advertisements speak for themselves. One even proclaims: "No. It's not a princess. It's a robot. A phone that trades hair-do for can-do." Need I say more? A recent survey found 73 percent of Android users are male. Couple the guys' love for the OS and the robot-like feel of the phone, and the Read more

I try not to use my guy's phone too often when we're together, mostly out of principle. I am an iPhone, after all, and why share when I have my own? Besides, when I use his phone I usually end up messing something up in one way or another. I've made a few calls on it, though, and recently noticed that I keep bumping the phone with my face and either muting or ending a call. I've never had this Read more

If you have a Droid, you might be familiar with the rooster alarm tone. And if you're not familiar with it, imagine the most annoying high-pitched rooster sound imaginable playing loudly over and over and over. It's just the latest chapter in the saga of his Droid vs. my iPhone, but this particular battle literally jolts me out of bed in the morning. At first look, the Droid has some great alarm Read more

By now you know . . . my guy loves his Droid, I love my iPhone. And I can't resist any opportunity to pit the two gadgets head to head, especially if it means I can defend my iPhone against his Droid superiority complex. One of my guy's chief complaints about his Droid is that the onscreen keyboard is pretty tricky to use. Retraining your fingers to type on either an onscreen or entirely new Read more

After the first round of camera head-to-head, I couldn't decide if I preferred my iPhone or his Droid, although the Droid's camera is technically superior. We decided to put our respective cameras to the test for a second round of battle royale during a dinner out. Side note: I know I said previously that phones at the table is a no-no, but this was in the name of research! One feature of the Read more

For my first Droid vs. iPhone post, I tested out the GPS functions on both handsets, and eventually conceded that I preferred the Droid's built-in GPS capabilities. Next up, the phones' built-in cameras. Technically, the Droid's camera is more powerful. With 5MP, 4x zoom, and a flash, it beats the iPhone's 3MPs and flashless snaps any day. The Droid also comes with built-in editing software, Read more

The hype surrounding Motorola's Droid is understandable — for the first time, a phone has really started to give the iPhone a run for its money. Although phones can be polarizing, my guy and I have agreed to disagree on our top phone picks: he's a Droid, while I'm an iPhone.
