[Electronics-talk] android v iPhone (was Re: Hi I'm new to the list)

[Philip Blackmer]

I mean that they work on 3G and 4G networks, they can use 32GB micro SD
Cards, and have CPU's in the 1.3 GHZ range.  I am not sure about the ram,
but at-least one user comment praised the overall processing speed of the
phones.  I've been told that Iphone 4 is a 3G only device.  Also the memory
is much more limited because you can only use internal memory, and I think
the Iphone 4 has only a 1 GHZ processor.  Please correct me if I am wrong.
I also don't know the abilities of the Iphone 4s so it could be a better
device.
	It is however a lot more expensive, and that is the only reason why
I would seriously consider another device.  If I knew the Nokia 701 was
truly and completely accessible I probably would buy it and an ipod.  That
would give me the apps and lots of memory for less than $400 before taxes
and shipping.  That's $250 less than buying a new Iphone unlocked directly
from Apple.
