Tech Wars-The Phone Wars: Episode 2-Attack of the Personality Factor

Now you have seen the technical specs of both the iPhone and the Motorola Droid, but I'm sure these don't totally hit home which phone suits you.  Maybe it even made you wonder if EITHER is good for you!  This post is going to cover some of the areas of life I feel are important when chosing a phone, and which phone I think would suit you best if you fit into these categories.

The media geek: Go for the iPhone.  There are more Apps dedicated to you, on-board video editing, Apple's reputation as the must-have music device and the iTunes compatibility, and its simple user interface make this the media giant for Smartphones.

The traveler: Droid.  While both have navigation, the battery life of the Droid during usage time, along with the keyboard for easy communication purposes (E-mail, blogging, texting, instant messaging...) make it an adaptable tool.

The uncoordinated technology-wise: Yes. This is how I am going to state technologically pathetic people in a politically correct way.  If you are "uncoordinated" when using technology (As in, you are that person who tends to crash a computer on a daily basis), please. please. PLEASE go for the iPhone.  It was built for its user-friendliness.  Take advantage of this.

The techie (non-professional): If you're that person that drools over gadgets, you want the Droid.  There's more to play with, it's a more advanced phone, and with the 5.0mp camera and the multitasking abilities... you would enjoy pushing this to the max.

The techie (professional): This definitely comes down to personal preference. Mac vs. PC, what exactly you want the phone for, blah blah blah.  Me, I choose the Droid.  But if you're a professional techie, you should be able to use Episode 1 as your deciding factor, as well as what's ahead in part 3.

I most certainly have not hit every aspect of what these phones are capable of, and who they are actually for.  But I think the main comparison comes down to this: Media vs. Business/Work.  If you're a media person, or solely want a phone for entertainment, you want the iPhone.  If you're using it for business purposes, work-related, or need to do many things very quickly, then I'd pick the Droid.

There is one more deciding factor in this war... and one that isn't talked about a whole lot.  Phone plans.  Check back for episode 3!
