\"\"Sometimes I wonder how many couples out there are in the same place as my husband and I. He is a Sprint customer \u2013 and an HTC person. I\u2019m a AT&T customer \u2013 and an iPhone user. (It\u2019s almost as bad as being a Sox-Twins<\/a> couple!) Just about once a week one of us takes a dig at the other\u2019s phone or service provider (admittedly, he wins the service provider spat more often than not). However, historically, I win the hardware fights.<\/p>\n

But with the recent launch of the HTC EVO<\/a>, followed by the release of the iPhone 4<\/a>, nights have become heated with technology chatter. I have \u2018played\u2019 with his EVO and here are some things to consider.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s a pretty phone with a big screen \u2013 the EVO\u2019s too big for my taste. The size is great for him because he\u2019s kind of a big guy (6\u20196\u201d), so he doesn\u2019t really have the smallest hands and fingers. One could say that the EVO makes me think about Burger King \u2013 its portion sizing is over-the-top. There is no chance of the EVO fitting into any cell phone pouches and one handing it isn\u2019t very practical for smaller hands or most females. Personally, I like my phone to have sweet capabilities, but still be a portable phone at the end of the day \u2013 so the iPhone wins there.<\/p>\n

The kickstand is a great concept and my hubby does use it from time to time \u2013 but isn\u2019t necessary for daily usage and in the opinion of a parent \u2013 just something that will eventually break. I would much rather use a stationary mounting device.<\/p>\n

The battery life in the iPhone 4 is just that much better than the EVO. This was an issue with his previous HTC Touch. I\u2019m not an \u00fcber-tech, but it seems as if Android is just too much for these HTC phones. My iPhone has up to 12+ days of standby life (equaling about 3-6 days with regular business\/personal use). His EVO is lucky to make it through 12-15 hours of regular use. (Of course, there are several bloggers who have figured out how to extend the slim life, but you have to turn off a bunch of the features.) Battery life is \u00fcber-important to me \u2013 so Apple wins there, as well.<\/p>\n

The cameras \u2013 this is a toss up. While the EVO has an 8-megapixel camera (iPhone 4 has a 5MP), the iPhone\u2019s flash and camera settings are generally set up with better usability for taking photos in high or low light situations. They are pretty much equal on the HD video capabilities. However, its personal preference on the download cables \u2013 and for me, I like that the iPhone only has two things to plug into it 3.5mm headphones (which are included with the iPhone, not the case with the EVO) and the data\/charge USB cord.<\/p>\n

The interface is incredibility similar to the iPhone (I will reserve my knock-off comments as they are duking it out in the court system<\/a>). However, there are little things that make a difference to me. Like the application markets. Android can try to play catch up, but the Apple App market is just better hands down. Right now, my hubby has to use a knock-off Skype application, which kind of works, mostly doesn\u2019t. Not having the proper Apps renders the face-to-face video function on the EVO pretty useless. Not an issue for the iPhone \u2013 of course maybe one day Android will catch up.<\/p>\n

While there are many different things to consider, and I freely admit that it\u2019s increasingly personal choice, the iPhone still rules the market. \u201cSorry\u201d to HTC and my hubby, but the proof is in the sales figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
