  • droid is still the best. but the weird thing is im getting a new iPod touch today?

  • 1:18 anyone notice 'snappy touchscreen'.... his first swipes went unrecognized...

  • luv my droid. i just switched from my iphone 3gs which broke lol

  • You can unlock an iphone then you don't have to use AT&T.

  • this guya retarded. hes like the droid has all this stuff but the iphones an iphone so it wins -_-

  • att sucks verizon is the best

  • How does the Motorola droid work as a Music and video player? Is the sound quality good? I'm thinking about buying one from ebay to replace my current MP3 player, they're going for under $90. I won't be using it as a phone, I can't afford to. lol

  • @Gipshaw It plays music on the Droid player, and it also plays video. I haven't heard it yet, but I assume it's quite decent, plus, you can buy sound enhancing apps. You can use the WiFi for apps and surf the internet without service. I'd check Craigslist. I got one for $50.00 with a charger in great condition. ^_^

  • @VhUgGz

    Thanks.

    Actually, I decided to wait a while and save up more money, so now I'm gonna get a Samsung Fascinate(probably). I'm hoping it'll last me at least 2 years, maybe 3 if android starts advancing more slowly.

  • @Gipshaw Cool. ;D

  • 3GS would pan even most android phones in 2011

  • @MapleMeadows Yeah, that 600 mhz processor is gonna step on all of the dual core phones HTC is throwing out.

  • iphones to easy to use and gets boring even with jailbreak

  • I kinda liked the "fat lip". Not a lot, but it made it unique. :3

  • cnet is very bias plus the droid has adobe flash and pinch to zoom

  • @narutorandomness457 yes thats true but u have to consider that this review was done in November 2009. At that point the Droid had no flash or pinch to zoom until future software updates which make it the way it is today.

  • Why does everyone like the iPhone..?

    :/

  • @spetsnaz3234 Because it's simply amazing

  • I have a Droid(Milestone) and I don't like it. Slow,overheats,random reboots,lag. Psh. And HORRIBLE BATTERY LIFE...

  • GET,`,A``;FREE`;;DROID;,.PHONE­,;.

    WWW.DROIDFREEHERE2.TK

  • 1st round, i sense a biased issue going on

  • they should do droid 2 vs iphone4, samsung fascinate vs google nexus 1, htc droid incredible vs google nexu s, epic 4g vs droid bionic( will release somewhere in 2011), Mytouch 4g vs Evo Shift 4g, htc thunderbolt vs motorol etrix 4g, droid pro vs motorola flip, and droid x vs blackberry torch

  • one thing is, the design round do not make any sense. i like the groid better than the iphone because it's a keboard and i like the keyboard use more than the touch screen because i have hands that press 2 things on touch instead of 1

  • both droid and iphone 3gs is good. you cant deny their unique features, it actually depends on you. since im verizon subscriber, i like the droid for its fast and realiable speed but i like the iphone for great multimedia features.

  • iphones all suck balls. Being a simple phone shouldnt make the score higher, it should make it lower. its funner to learn how to use a phone like a droid. but the droid isnt even hard to use at all. after like 1 day you get used to it. the iphone shouldnt have won this, but whatever the droids these days own the iphone 4

  • @davidipodtouch123 maybe to you but millions of people would disagree, considering apple has sold over 10 million. and thats only on one carrier.

  • @davidipodtouch123 sry 10 million iphone 4s. many more of all iphones

  • @gordononeill1012 Yeah cuz thats like the 5th version of the iphone... so of course more people have iphones than a droid.. it only has 2 versions. But if you compare the amount of android users compared to apple, it will come out to be like 50million to 10miliion

  • @SuperDROIDuser its the 4th version but anyways, the iphone was only on at&t, now that its on verizon and maybe more carriers soon, i think that more iphones will sell

  • @drspermie the videos old.

  • its hilarious how all these fanboys are using the 960x640 res of the iphone 4 as some silver pedestal. do you know how easy it is to engineer something like that? give motorola a month, htc has the incredible hd with a 1024x768 res. 4.3" screen and samsung is in the midst of designing a high res super amoled. iphone has nothing.

  • I ran the Prizefight myself, and it was as close as it could possibly get, but the Droid came out on top for me. I would pick it if this were last year.

  • the people at apple have no crativivity the iphones all look the same except the nw one is a little diffrent but barely noticible, the itouches just keep getting slimmer and really nothing else and the ipad is just an overgrown itouch

  • @zebrpenguin Hey, I'm with you, but neither does the Droid 2 change from the Droid that much. And I really would like OS X on the iPad, not iOS.

  • i find that ios has the best web and media on a mobile device. i find myself on the web more on the ipod than my galaxy s.

  • why we comparing old 3gs? Iphone 4 blows away screen resolution. droid = tube tv

    iphone 4 HD

  • @drspermie cuz this video is a year old lol

  • @drspermie Because there was no iPhone 4 back then. This came out a year ago.

  • @drspermie if you realised this video was uploaded on November 12,2009 and iphone 4 came out on july 2010

  • @drspermie iphone 4 isnt hd you dumb shit

  • @drspermie Iphone 4 isnt hd you dumb shit 1280x720 is hd not 640x960 fucking dumb bastard...

  • hahaaha a screen is the only thing you have for apple. do you have any idea how easy it is to up a resolution? my env touch had 320 ppi. 800x480. its a resolution. and samsung and motorola are working on a 1024x768 3.7". the aesthetics of the iphone can easily be beat. regardless, the android platform is far superior to iphone on FROYO. i cant wait till gingerbread/honeycomb comes out. it's all about aesthetics and performance. also. can ur ihpone 4 skype chat? or video chat off wifi? no

  • @drspermie Probably because at the time of this video the iPhone 4 wasn't released :)

  • @drspermie Lets see probably because there has been a new iphone and a new droid since then?

  • @drspermie It should be iphone 4 vs Droid 2 then. (droid would win)

  • @drspermie look at the video date.

  • @drspermie this video was made in 09, long b4 iphone 4 was even announced.

  • @drspermie oh i dont know, because the iphone 4 not released yet?!?! Check the video date.

  • the iphone is the best baby

  • the iphone can jump off a bridge

  • @micboy23 it jumps off the bridge and breaks easily when it touches the ground

  • OMG,why the iPhone 3GS got the best rate of best looking?it's rediculous,its only a screen and an ugly button black shit,DROID is the best

  • @HectorHTC : ur jelous

  • I always thought the iPhone 3's were ugliest of all smart phones apart from the blackberry's(with keyboards)

    Droid shuld have taken that hands down/

  • @anybodywhoisfussingabouttheap­ps Who cares about how many apps either of the phones have. You probably don't even use half of the 30 apps you've downloaded anyways.

  • Why oh why does Iphone have to be with AT&T which is beyond terrible in my area. Ahhhh.

  • woo go iphone

  • the iphone always looses because of att

  • @XxJoeStylexX i agree 100%

  • @XxJoeStylexX no...

    

  • @XxJoeStylexX Att has dropped calls because everyone has an iphone, so all the iphones in one area are all fighting for the same signal. One company cannot house all the iphones out there.

  • @XxJoeStylexX true

  • @XxJoeStylexX Well, that is pretty important, the network.

  • @XxJoeStylexX lol wait til the iphone comes for verizon

  • @XxJoeStylexX I got a vivaz pro now but i am getting a Iphone 4 unlocked in T-mobile so i can put whichever Sim Card i want the same gees for the Iphone 3gs just unlock the phone and don't whine about at&t

  • @XxJoeStylexX everything about the iphone is great, just the att service is bad. not the phones fault

  • @pearldrummer1026 its on verizon now and the service there is better

  • I know I could reply to the one guy who said the Android Market has only 10,000 apps, but I'm using my iPhone 4, and am unable to do so, since you can't use YouTube's full commenting features. But - you are wrong, person, the Android Market has over 75,000 apps, and is growing much faster than the App Store. Most devs love Android's open-endedness.

  • It would help if they were on the same network. And in every other prize fight, the IPhone 3GS gets different scores.

  • lol features is all that should matter, and android has way more apps.

  • @Mastermindguy1994

    Are you kidding me the app store has over 200,000 apps and android market has barely over 10,000

  • @Vancelawrence15 lol i dont know where you get your information, the app store has about 150k apps, half of them are useless and such, while android market has about 100k and all of them are useful to someone.

  • @Mastermindguy1994

    Ok fine i may have been wrong on data lol but you specifically said that android has more apps and that is wrong it doesnt and its an opinion for you to say that the android apps are more useful because i know both people who love the android apps and people who think most are useless and i hear the same about the iphone as well, its all about opinion

  • once the droid came out i stopped buying iphones. froyo > ios4

  • iPhone!!

  • droid > iphone

    yea... this review was obviously made by apple's top notch ball lickers....

  • droid is better.i have both.

  • this guy sucks iphone dick wow this is unfair and biased all the way

  • i prefer the iphone

  • iphone is the shizzz :)

  • DROID FTW!!!!!

  • FUCK DROID, POINT____.

  • DROID!

  • when is there going to be a samsung vibrant prizefight or at least any galaxy s

  • iphone 4 life

  • people have to stop kissin the iphones ass it sucks i had it iphone sucks droid all the way

  • Best move I ever made was dropping GSM (T-Mobile) for CDMA (Sprint (Evo)). The call quality is uncomparable, I have 3G nearly everywhere, and I don't drop calls anymore. I can only speak for android but I think that the market is on par with the app store. I get the same quality apps on android as on iOS, even if there are less apps total.

  • DRoiD Dtoid DROID wow the iPhone 4 has more flaws than the original,n everytime my mom makes a voicemail on iPhone it either scrambles or doesn't show up, n especially with the droid x coming out there's no way apple can compete plus most of the apps on android r FREE

  • Droids the best!!

  • I have a 3GS but now am thinking if going too my moms plan and get the droid x or this one.

  • I phone for the apps

  • I'm tired of the droid being compared to the iphone. The Droid is better than the iphone in any way shape or form, except for the app store, but that's only because the iphone's been around longer.

  • @ShakingAtTheKnees Really, lets see, iPhone has better screen, battery, camera and design. 

  • @ATLMember it doesn't have a better camera but your right about the rest

  • @ShakingAtTheKnees aside from the calls, which personally i have never had a problem with, what makes the droid better in every way shape or form? havent you noticed the iphone has won every comparison?

  • Iphone4 vs any phone in world when are we are going to see that prizefight

  • DROID HAS MULTI TOUCH PINCH FEATURE!

  • @thename559 you are retarded if you think the iPhone is better then any other phone you apple fanboys are annoying

  • Hey ssj4GOku fuck you the iPhone takes out any phone

  • In my area in TN I say what good is the Iphone if you can't make a call? If you can seldom get an email to leave your Iphone or you keep getting the famous "NO SERVICE" indication or 1/3 of of one bar of reception? I could seldom get more than 15 seconds of talk time on any call! OK, AT&T put your goddamn wireless where the sun don't shine! OK? And Steve Jobs, get a life and let ME decide what is and is not porn!!

  • FUCK IPHONE

    DROID WINS :P

  • iphone rocks

  • sorry, i think i will go with the phone with expandable memory, where 98% of the apps are free, where i can run multiple applications at the same time, and where i can install swype with out a problem...

    besides, that whole music thing, i uploaded my itunes music to it seamlessly with out a problem

  • Definitely the Droid. iPhones are trashy pieces of plastic. You drop it, everything. DONE. Oh god, atleast the Droid didn't get anything like a 3.3... Now the bestest smartphone, THREE KEYBOARDS, and a more reliable phone, I'd rather have a Droid than anything else... Droiddoes com people, it'll show you the greatest of the Droid. You iPhone lovers will have your mind changed, times two. And wait untill the Droid X comes out. iPhone = FAIL. ;)

  • The iPhone is fourth gen and they still cannot get it to do what it is supposed to be built for? So, the Droid comes out on its first gen and scores a few hundredths less in a competition? I'd say Droid, hand's down! Oh wait, "you're holding it wrong." Mr. Jobs' is now an out of touch buffoon in my book, currently.

  • @OrionEffects that email that Mr. Jobs wrote was fake search it up in google

  • @omglol917 Incorrect, everything I see says it's based on fact; it's typical of the elitist Apple mentality. It would help if you gave specific links. Either way, Jobs is an arrogant ass and is going to get his eyes opened the week of July 15th.

  • droid!

  • You guys need to do another VS with the Droid 2.2 version. Lets see how it does ;)

  • wtf? u have verizon and at&t ? lol

  • I had an iPhone for two years, until i dropped it, and it shattered on impact. So I bought the Droid because I wanted Verizon and something different. I gotta tell ya, I'll never go back. And now that the new 2.2 firmware (Froyo) supports flash (iphone does not) and pinch to zoom I just think iPhone is one bad Apple.

  • Droid is trash!!! Still, has been. & now the iphone 4 its over

    Just wait till that prizefight. & watch those wins go up for the iphone.

  • @Aktivskating

    well just wait for the Droid X. The droid X will blow the iPhone 4 out of the market.

  • @Aktivskating With Droid, you can expand memory upgrade the OS and add plug-ins like Flash. With an iPhone, you have to buy a new phone. Wait for Droid X in 2 weeks, that will be the eclipsing of iPhone 4G.

  • @Aktivskating Srry but iphone 4 sux

  • So in effect, what this review is saying is that the iPhone is good at everything except what it's designed for, which is being a phone.  The gewgaws are nice, but it's still a phone, so the Droid beats it in that respect, hands down. I read a review once that said the iPhone is the nicest pocket computer, and the worst phone, ever designed. I'd concur with that. Android is catching up, and with its open sourcing, will soon surpass the iPhone. The upcoming Droid X already does. Go Android!

  • Lol they say iTunes has a awesome music market place.

    Scrolling thorugh coverflow.... missing album artwork... downloaded tracks....

  • What's wrong with drag and drop? Better than having to hook it up to iTunes just to sync one file...

  • go droid

  • call quality and dropped calls has to do with the network not the phone, so you cant judge the iphone for it!!! And it all depends on you location.

  • @ulli1235 Actually you can, since the iPhone is available only on AT&T. If Mr. Jobs' would wake up and offer it on three networks, he would be sitting in gravy, and Owen Wilson would be out of a job lying about the superiority of AT&T's network.

  • @OrionEffects ok you can jailbreak it and use it with a diffrent network or use it in a diffrent country with a better network.

  • @ulli1235 Don't want another network, I'm happy with Verizon and don't let AT7T see you've cracked it. I don't travel internationally.

  • some of these catagories are rediculous

  • the iphone is more of a business phone the droid is for all consumers.

  • @kwi0monkey0moose

    other way around

  • @kwi0monkey0moose The iPhone is nothing like a business phone. A blackberry is a business phone.

  • So the iPhone is good at everything except being a phone?? That is hilarious!!

  • phone didnt even ring how tha fuck it get 3.3 wow thats a damn 0.0 lol

  • The last Catagory isnt about the phones its about the carriers in a foreign country where more reliable carries have won Apple Contracts it would leave the droids in its dust but since the last category doesn't even focus on the phones rather it focuses on the network i view the iphone as the winner.

  • If this was in the UK then the iPhone would get a 5.0 in call quality on o2. AT&T are shit.

  • lets see drop the phone from the top of a 5 step concert steps and guess which one will continue working and which one will crap out, i know my droid did and where they dragging music and videos from an ITUNE to a different platform OS hmmmmm i think that will conflict even on a windows base laptop without its proper drivers, both phone are grate but people that use Iphone the longest tend to believe that there is nothing better out there

  • 2.2 going to change everything .

  • @nagashirox How so? Enlighten me.

  • I have them both cause I'm a smart-phone freak, and I have to say. Droid is much better. I mean, the iPhone is all good. But, the look is getting me tired. Apple should change the look, it's not excited. I'm bored of the Safari browser, those gray squares in the back are annoying, and the keyboard is also annoying in the iPhone. Droid's camara is much better then the iPhone's one...

  • what's wrong with the droid's look

  • HERMAN IS GAY lol jk jk

  • have you noticed in every video the iphone gets the same score

  • sexiness??? this is a real category? come on

  • Android's logo:The sky is the limit

    Iphone's logo: The limit is the sky

    Copy and paste if you agree.

  • sexyness.? Wdf? Are u guys kidding me with this ? Droid rules. W.e u want, DROID DOESSS

  • Their Both GREAT PHONES!!!  I want to see a prize fight with the Iphone 4 vs the Evo as soon as the iphone 4 comes out.. The iphone is kinda block like now...... but better features

  • bull shit when this vid was made, its like comparing a full grown ass man and a baby, and saying which is more useful?

  • Sexiness? You've got to be kidding me...

    ATTENTION CNET! Do you remember the definition of a cellphone is again?

    The only thing that should matter FIRST is performing exactly what the phone is named for!! Its a CELL PHONE! Multimedia stuff, games, and other apps are awesome too but they come secondary.

    And this obviously was a biased review due to the fact they were using a apple computer when showing the music player stuff (even though I love macs just as much...)

  • droid is the best

  • if the iphone was on verizon, it would be a hell of a lot better!

  • It's time to update. Let's see the iPhone vs the EVO.

  • DROID is better then iphone 111

  • R u kiddin meh droid is bettr than da iphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now see, I take issue with the 'Call Quality & Performance" round, as it seems like that's more of a Verizon vs. AT&T thing as opposed to a Droid vs. IPhone thing. If Droid was on AT&T, it would probably behave the same way the IPhone presently does where call quality and performance is concerned.

  • I got the droid last Saturday and all I got to say is "You got to get one " . I had the I phone and as far as recording video's , photo's , e mail acc , & performance the Droid is killin the I phone ! I agree , the I phone does have alot of good apps , but dam , it's been out alot longer ! I can tell you this much the apps on Droid are either alot cheaper or (FREE) ! Alot of apps I bought for the I phone , I got free on Droid ! Dont belive the hype , the droid is killin the I phone ..

  • it doesn't matter if the iPhone 4G comes out.. apple is off its throne.. HTC is king now..

  • Wooh Droid Incredible is sick!

    I'm getting the HTC Evo 4g.

  • damn.. AWESOME shirt

  • iphone 4g iz ganna b better

  • i dont  think the sprit phone would take over it already ahve bad revews ion about the camera and streaming videos slow internet the i phone i do nt like at all just not waht i like how the dorid is a great phone right now it is the highest 480 x854 thats more than the new evo now plus you can overclock it i love the droid any becuase give you free app i hate spirnt slow interent so they are not wining at all

  • so iphone has apps, and good browser and design.

    Droid has camera, open source, flash, customizeble, same apps, more speed, better screen, better battery life + changeble battery and better durability.

    why is it a draw??????

  • not sure if anyone has said it?

    but Droid does have pinch zoom now.

  • .... there wasnt a signle note about the expandable memory.... its a big feature the iphone is missing....

  • Wow, people need to calm down. It's just a video.

  • could you do a prizefight on the v touch vs apple ipod touch

  • What about Flash Player? What about compatibility with operating systems?

    Droid 5.0 iPhone 4.5

  • you are crazy the thing with you people you just a i phone lover the droid is going to take over so get use to it ok

  • @MrAj577 The droid is not going to take over because there are other great phones for Sprint, and T-mobile that are just as good or better than the droid. But I do agree that Droid pwns the iPhone. Too bad I'm sure that apple will go and just make an iPhone 4g or 4gs or whatever they want to call that will catch on to the battle.

  • That's BS the iphone is the most proprietary piece of crap on the planet just like all of apple's other products.

  • i just wish more app developers would start making quality android apps. apple's making themselves a bitch to work with because of the new rules and restrictions and whatnot

  • The tiebreaker was bull because the droid won in the 2 most important categories.

  • hey i have played wit both phones before and it is just a matter of what company u have if u have att you will like the iphone if u have verizon u will like the droid i think both phones are good for the most part i also thought that when i use my dads iphone to call people while my phone is frozen(samsung impression) tha call quilty is good but i do think that you do get a lot of dropped calls but in my opion i like the iphone better
