The Droid Incredible phone is often compared to the iPhone 4. However, it has certain features that the iPhones lacks, and vice versa. Right now, the Droid is a hot commodity for those who are seeking a touchscreen phone that is an alternative to the iPhone. The Apple Company is very controlling and does not like its users to have any apps that are not created by the company. The Droid offers its users more freedom, but not as many apps as the iPhone.
Comparing the Droid to the iPhone is difficult. Apple has years of experience perfecting its flagship iPhone and developing hundreds of apps. One major flaw in the Droid is that it cannot compete with the superior casing and design of the iPhone. Plastic cannot hold a candle to iPhone’s shatterproof glass that is used in trains, airplanes and helicopters. However, if the phone is kept inside a case when not in use, the durability of the glass should not be an important feature.
The size of the Droid Incredible is about four inches by almost five inches. The iPhone is very similar, but it is much thinner than the Droid. However, size is not exactly a huge consideration for many buyers. They are more concerned with what is on the inside of the device.
Both devices offer WiFi, which is nearly everywhere in urban areas. The iPhone has the 3G network, and Droid uses the Dual Band CDMA 2000 Internet system offered by Verizon and Alltel. AT&T is currently the only provider for the iPhone, while Droid can use Verizon or Alltel. This choice is probably a big deciding factor in which phone a person chooses. Some people have had problems with AT&T and do not want anything to do with the company. Others are loyal to one company and will stay with it for many years.
