iPhone 4 or Droid X

There are many great phones out there. I have a phone with a touchscreen and a sliding keypad, but no Internet. It does not get very good service at my house. I want a phone that has texting, Internet, and good service at our house. I looked up a comparison chart, and I found two for the iPhone 4 and the Droid X on iphonestuffs4u.com. One chart has cost, and the other has most everything else. I found a few things from other sites that the chart is lacking, but the charts have pretty much everything I need to know. They have lots of information about the two phones, anything from manufacturer to camera flash. Which phone is worth more for the features it has?

     The physical characteristics of the iPhone 4 and the Droid X have minimal differences. Their size is similar, they both have a camera. The iPhone 4 weighs nearly 5 ounces; the Droid X weighs closer to 5 ½. The Droid X’s length and width are both just a bit bigger than the iPhone 4’s. The small size difference does not matter much to me, but I would not want my phone to be to big. The display size has a bit more of a difference, though, with the Droid X’s being 0.8 inches larger than the iPhone 4’s. The iPhone 4’s screen resolution is better than the Droid X’s, with a 640x960 pixels compared to 480x854. Both have software for a keyboard, but the Droid X has SWYPE also. The Droid X’s camera is better than the iPhone 4’s; its 8 MP compared to 5. The Droid X has 2 flashes and the iPhone only has a singular flash. As shown, there are no drastic differences between the two phones’ appearance or general outside features.

I definitely want my phone to have lots of memory and battery, and be very fast. The iPhone 4 can be bought with 16 or 32 GB of memory, more than the Droid X’s 8 GB of memory. Although the iPhone has more, it cannot have any expansion by cards and the Droid X’s can; it can go up to 40 GB, more than the iPhone 4’s.  Their RAM is the same; 512 MB each. Both phones have a 1 GHz processor. I want good battery life on my phone, and the phones are pretty close. With battery life I would prefer the Droid X. The iPhone 4 has 1470 mAH of battery, and the Droid X has 1540.  With speed and memory the two phones are close, but there is a greater difference with the battery.

    Both phones come with Internet, but their cost gets more complicated. They get Wifi, but the Droid X has a Wifi hot spot and the iPhone 4 does not come with it; it is another cost that can be added on. They can multitask which is a feature I would like because I enjoy doing that on my computer; my current phone cannot. They use Webkit for their browser. With Internet the only difference is the WiFi hot spot; only the Droid X has that. Their cost is the same for the two phones, but once all of the media and messaging has been accounted for it is different. Both of the phones themselves cost $199.00. With all of the calling, texting and data it adds up to much more. My chart shows the costs with a contract for the limited messaging and calling for two years, and with that the iPhone costs $1638.76, and the Droid X is several hundred dollars more with $1998.52. That is only with limited messaging, voice, and data; if you alter them and make them greater or some of them unlimited, they are both close to $3000. The iPhone 4 with regular or unlimited costs less. The big differences with Internet and cost are with the costs.
    Though the iPhone 4 and the Droid X are both advanced phones, I think I know which one I would prefer. Even the main differences between the two are not that drastic. The main differences are with the cost that involves the messaging and data, screen size and resolution, and camera. The screen resolution and size are not that important to me, and as long as they both have a camera, its good enough. Between the iPhone 4 and the Droid X, I would choose the Droid X. The iPhone 4 is a great phone, but the Droid X is greater. To me it seems that the Droid X is more advanced than the iPhone 4 in the majority of the categories. I can live with the features of the Droid X that I do not like, such as the SWYPE keyboard which would probably get in my way. The greater price, is not that bad, but it would be good to have the iPhone 4’s lower costs. I am fine without some of the things the iPhone 4 has. The better screen resolution would be nice, and the larger built-in memory. I love Apple devices, but it is OK that the Droid X is not one. The greater battery life is the main individual thing that really matters to me with choosing the Droid X. Overall I would choose the Droid X because it is just a little bit better in everything.  

Kaela is

When I hear the word “friend” Kaela comes to mind because I’ve been friends with her since a long time ago; eight years ago was around the time we met. We have disagreed before, but she is the friend from my old school that I still see and keep in touch with. Even though in third and fourth grade I remember not getting along. It was primarily my fault. We got over that, or I did because it was only me being angry in the first place, and now we text and hang out often.

    Kaela is a bit shorter than me, has thick brown hair, and loves the color blue. She loved monkeys for a long time, but pandas are her new favorite. I like Kaela because she makes things fun, and the way she acts makes things you do fun also. Mckinleyville Middle is her school now and I think that that has been fun for her so far. We have had many experiences together, and who knows, maybe we will go to school together again in high school.
    I had really wanted to see Harry Potter and the  Deathly Hallows, part one. I had wanted to see it in North Carolina with my friend Annagray who lives there. I had not seen her in a while, and we were there for Thanksgiving. That did not work out. Back in California, I still had not seen the new Harry Potter movie. My mom did not want to see the movie, so she wanted a friend to go with me so she could just drop me off. I called Kaela. She had already seen it, but had liked it. Even though she had seen it, she went with me anyway. I am scared easily, so to me some of the shocking suspense and Voldemort things freaked me out a little bit. The movie was  great, but I think all of the Harry Potter movies are wonderful. I really liked seeing it, and it was great to see it with her since we do not get to hang out together at school.

It was nice of her to go see the movie with me, even though she had seen it already. Kaela is awesome, and I’m glad she is a friend of mine. I first met her when I was in kindergarten, and that was back eight years ago when we were five. We will be friends for a very long time, and I am happy we will be.

How I use electronics and technology

My use of technology is probably about average. The radio is what i most often listen to, but I have an ipod classic. The ipod is useful for plane and car trips. On our computer, the sites I commonly visit are itunes, facebook, and gmail. I think its fun to watch television, but I don't watch on school nights most often because of homework. I have a cell phone, but I do not have Internet on it, though I think you can send text messages to email addresses.

In ten years I know that technology will be very advanced, but it is hard for me to envision the new technology. Things such as computers or ipods will most likely be very different, and there will most likely be more in 3D. Things will continue to advance, and i doubt that there will ever be a stopping point. In fifty years, things may have changed infinitely, and will continue to change, I believe mainly with transportation.
