The big 4. In the US these companies represent the cellular provider nearly for 300 million people, at least the ones who have cell phones worth talking about. Each company has boat loads of phones to choose from but with each provider one phone sits alone at the top. Today, we are going to go over the Big 4’s big 4. Some of these phones have been around for awhile but still reign supreme with their respective companies. We’ll give you a brief overview of the phones; the good, the bad, and certainly the ugly but ultimately it’s your call.

Unless you live under a rock you should have a bit of knowledge associated to the iPhone 4G. It’s the most popular smart phone in the world. Hell, it’s the most popular cell phone in the world. The first 3 days on the market this phone sold over 1.7 million units making it the best product launch apple has ever had.
This phone is arguably the best smart phone on the market. In the U.S. this phone is carried by the little brother of the 2 largest networks, AT&T. This phone is designed as a GSM world phone so it’s home on AT&T is fitting. With a strong network, amazingly large app store, and a following like no other this phones is poised to dominate the market for years to come. The phone houses Apple’s A4 chip which they currently use in the iPad which makes this unit no chump when it comes to hardware specs. This rendition of Apples iPhone was the first phone that apple really listened to their customers when it came to designing it. In the past the iPhone was a glorified iPod Touch with a radio receiver install in it. This version is a phone much more than an iPod. As long as apple addresses future problems promptly via software updates this phone will continue to live on top of the world cell phone scene.
Pros:
– Good Network
– Large App Store
– Solid Customer Base
– Highest Res Screen Available
– Front Facing Camera
Cons:
– Signal Issues (hopefully resolved soon)
– No flash support
– Not “real” multitasking
I would like to say great reveiw but you must of not have put much time in with the droid x. the droid x i will admit has horrible battery life but with task killer and watchign what your doin and turning down screen brightness you will be fine. next you never once coverd the camera or the comcorder, like you did with the evo. the UI is bland but thats how it was for the first droid, but this time they allowed us 7 home screens vs the old 3. The next thing is the processor. the processor the TI Omap 3640 hands down beats the snap dragon processor.next is the snapdragon has the worst onboard graphics out there. Also on another note the droid x comes with 8 gig internal and another 16gig micro sd card. so total of 24gigs out of box. then there is the fact of the hdmi. k i am done rambling on.
I agree with you on many of your points. This was supposed to be a brief summation of the major phones. You can do things to all these phones to make them “better”. But, the TI OMAP3630 is not a better processor than the Snap Dragon. Motorola and Qualcomm don't get along and haven't for a long time or you would have seen that processor in that phone. IMHO the HTC Evo is the best phone currently on the market, and until Motorola addresses some tiny details my opinion isn't going to change. HTC Sense UI is a thing of beauty and it's something that Motorola has a serious problem contending with, 7 panels or not. They need to make a more functional, better looking version of “Moto Blur” and install it on there higher end phones to make more of a visual impact.
yes moto blurr is pretty bad i will admit i personal dont like it. and the 7 screens is a little overkill. Sense Ui is awesome also i will admit. the hdd space out the door on the droid x is nice 24gigs worth of space right out of packaging was very nice. theres only a few things i dont like about my droid x and that is the back of the phone with the funny curve along with the camera button seems kind of flimsy sometimes
check this out also you will see how the droid x compairs to the evo with he processor/gpu http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x-…
That benchmark test is pretty amazing. The problem with something like that is that with a benchmark test you don't take into consideration the programs that are cooked into the OS It's not like a normal PC. Startup apps that are cooked in take up a smaller memory footprint than selected apps but the footprint still exists. Sense UI is a bear and in instances like that it can drag the overall performance of a phone down. Hell, anything that's cooked into the ROM does. It's all about optimisation. The Nexus One is rocking a Snapdragon and you can see how much faster it is than both phones.
well if you have a evo and what not we can meetup and do a benchmark test for sure and try this out ourselfs and not based off other peoples reviews it was jsut that the omap graphrics are great processor built into the chip
