I currently have the DroidX on my left hand, iP4 on the right hand.
Sorry, but the build quality (i mean durability) of the DroidX is far superior than the iP4. The rubberized exterior makes it much less prone to scratches and God forbid if it drops, it won't shatter.
The iP4 is made of all glass, so of course, the phone is more prone to scratching, and if, God forbid, it drops, more than likely the glass will shatter.
Pros of DroidX
- Its on Verizon Wireless
- LED light, for notification purposes (a la blackberry style)
- Superior Notification integration
- Phenomenal battery life for a 4.3 inch screen.
- Highly customizable OS, with scrollable widget support on the home screen
- Replaceable battery (ability to put in a bigger battery with no hassle)
- Replaceable SD card. Essentially, the disk space is limitless.
- Does not require 3rd party software to put music onto the phone (ahem iTunes, aka bloatware imo). DroidX is as simple as drag and drop. You just create a folder in your SD card, and put mp3/flac/lossless files in there, and boom, you're done.
- 4.3 inch screen. Real estate screen is essential for me.
- HDMI out, allowing you to stream 720p videos onto the big screen with no hassle.
- Upload to Youtube instantaneously in 720p format
- Superior Google Maps, Navigation, Street View, with Vector Map Support.
- Voice search functionality. I can voice search while driving, with no problems, and send texts using voice.
Sample here
- Ability to undervolt if you root (jailbreak), giving even better battery life.
Pros of iP4
- Applications are more mature on iP4, although the gap is closing between iOS and Android in terms of maturity
- Learning curve is lower. More intuitive to use.
- It looks nice.
- Superior camera than the DroidX, particularly in low light settings
