Now, to the heart of the matter. Do any of these phones really stand up to the iPhone? We’ve seen quite a few phones that have been released in the past couple of months, and there promises to be more. Especially with the rising popularity of Google’s Android software, those phone loving people are considering whether they should ditch their iPhones. At a glance, they are pretty similar, providing some of the basic applications that most smartphones have. But, it remains to be seen if they really match up. Some of them are pretty pricey, a little slow, and above all else, they do not offer the same about of applications that the iPhone does. Does this mean that the iPhone is better? Well, if you consider more applications that streamline your life “better,” then yes, the iPhone is one of which that will not be contested as of yet. For those who are still out there looking for a phone and don’t own an iPhone, they should either remain phone-less or spend a little money on the iPhone.
