Motorola DROID, Apple iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre: side by side
If you're a numbers type of person, then the 5-megapixel camera on the Motorola DROID wins by a long shot versus the 3-megapixel sensor used on the Pre and iPhone 3GS. There's plenty of good detail and rich color tones in images captured on the DROID. With its high pixel count, the DROID does take some time in saving photos before proceeding to take another shot – it's not too much of a problem when you consider the quality it provides. Out of the three, the Pre performs the weakest partly because it lacks an auto-focus which is essential in getting the best detail. Fortunately, the Pre is able to take shots consecutively with barely a pause – even when using the flash it still maintains a short break between shots. The iPhone 3GS doesn't rival the DROID's pixel count, but it did a good job in reproducing vivid colors while detail was better than the one on the Pre.
The DROID triumphs in the video capture category with its ability to shoot at DVD-like quality – it's very detailed and runs smooth with no indication of choppiness. The iPhone 3GS also performed well even though its maximum video capture resolution is a bit less versus the DROID. Nonetheless, it's still usable in saving those precious memories. Unfortunately software limitations have placed the Palm Pre in the boat of no video capture ability – we're sure that down the road this feature will be available.
All three phones are able to view a variety of video codecs ranging from H.264 to MPEG4 – but we have to say that the Motorola DROID makes for the best experience watching a video. Its high resolution screen really places it well ahead of the Pre and iPhone – making it suitable to watch videos on the go.
Apple has transformed the way apps are marketed and sold thanks to the introduction of the App Store. The iPhone 3GS has by far the most compelling and eclectic mix of applications to appease anyone's appetite. With over 100,000 apps available and growing, the iPhone 3GS truly does have an app for just about anything. It may seem far-fetched, but Apple has its own niche in the gaming market – we've seen beautiful 3D games run smoothly on the handset. Sure there are plenty of free applications to download on the App Store, but Apple has proven that money can be made with paid apps.
Luckily for Android, it isn't too far away from replicating Apple's successes. Android has steadily pushed out some decent apps on the Android Market and the Motorola DROID gets treated to some spectacular Google based applications – like Google Maps Navigation. It's right on pace with applications that rival the ones on the iPhone 3GS, but lacks in the 3D gaming department. They're mostly simple apps right now and we hope to see a rapid growth in the development of application offerings in the coming years. With a good amount of handsets offering Android, we will see a rapid growth in the development of applications in the coming years.
The small following of WebOS is probably its Achilles heel with only two devices running the operating system. Barely eclipsing the 400 app mark, the App Catalog is nowhere close to the levels found with the App Store or Android Market. We find that a good portion of the apps are somewhat gimmicky and lack depth when compared to the other ones. Basically the Palm Pre is still sitting tight trying to attract developers to craft some decent programs.

why do any comparisons at all the last two i looked at did not come to a complete conclusion. I can compare a 1985 mustang and a 2006 tacoma and tell you what i think is better. It does not matter what or when they came compare how it is today its easy.
2. MarcMaiden (Posts: 25; Member since: 24 Nov 2009)
cool comparison Phone Arena... I think its better to stay neutral because these phones are so similar that picking a phone would be just like playing favorites
4. tshow84 (Posts: 65; Member since: 11 Jun 2009)
playing favorites you say? and look who won....

overall not a bad review. They tried to stick to the facts. Only getting lost in the Iphone 2-3 times. However, at the end They awarded the Iphone the Multimedia phone. Which i would very much disagree with. Itunes is the worst Music program, a open system with the ability to play any music file type is far superior. Plus, during the review the droid got more praise for its video player and options(this is still considered multimedia right?). Also, the droid received credit for having the best speaker, which i feel is very much in the multimedia area. When comparing the cameras, phoneareana failed to mention that the Droid has a nice LED flash. Now, I have not had a problem being able to find the app i'm looking for in the android market. 50,000 or 100,000 it doesn't much matter at that point, everything after that is a duplicate anyway, and all the new intuitive apps will more than likely be releasing on android because of apples strict filters on their app store. Now I have reviewed the review. And I think the droid has surpassed the Iphone in nearly every way. The only thing left is opinion, which for the most part can not be changed. but facts are facts, and they seam to stack up in the droids favor.

Are you kidding...... The droid is no where near a better phone than the Iphone...c'mon, you dont even believe that yourself.
9. tonyc_42 (Posts: 61; Member since: 18 Aug 2009)
you so it's not a better PHONE??? how can you say it's not a better phone when it doesn't have the dropped calls or service issues. iphone may be a better multimedia device (for now...) but the clear winner as a phone is the droid.
11. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
the droid is wayyyy better than the iphone.

face it iphoneluv droid is the shit now

u all forgotted pre thats best sphone
22. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
It looked like the iphone won to me. The droid is great but you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. How many iphone killers are there going to be! Part of me is just hoping that a phone comes out of nowhere and beats the iphone so we can get this over with. I mean some of you guys even called the Storm an iphone killer. Come on. Verizon is probably already preparing for their next Android device. And based on the pictures taken, I'd say the iphone's picture quality look the best. Just look at the color of the pictures, even in low light. And if a developer had to choose between developing for Android or Apple, they would go for Apple because there are so many iPod touches and iPhones that are out there and growing everyday around the world. And one thing that they like is the uniformity. If you develop for one, most likely it will work for every single one out there. You can't say that for Android. Some graphic intense games on the Droid (if there are any) probably won't work for the Eris and the G1. Take Gameloft for an example. Although they receive 13% of their profits from Android, it probably costs them more to pay their laborers to convert each of their games to work with each Android device. (That has to be the reason why they are not making any more apps for Android because I don't see why Gameloft would drop that 13% of profit) And I hear that Android won't only make smartphones because they want all phone users to be able to customize. That's tears up the uniformity even more. And everyone keeps on saying that the Android app store will grow and grow very soon. But sadly, that's the same exact thing the Pre owners were saying. And I guess I can stop talking about how bad the iPhone's battery life is because it looks like it is much better than the Pre's and Droid's. And they didn't emphasize how bad the keyboard sucked. On the Droid website it boasted about having the thinnest keyboard in the world, but it stinks really. It probably would have even helped them out if they made it a little bit more thicker. And after two years the iphone still has the best online keyboard and easy to use interface? Really? Still? And everyone keeps complaining that its outdated. If these phones can't beat an outdated phone, then that makes everything even more sad. And its a good thing that the Droid users have removeable battery because I'm reading that removing the battery often to fix problems is not uncommon. And is backgrounds really featured on the Android Market? More than a year later and backgrounds is featured on their market? That app is so done now. I wouldn't call it useless, but its bordering that area.

There we go. I reviewed the reviewed review.
26. smartphonelover (Posts: 37; Member since: 26 Nov 2009)
The Iphone doesn't have the high specs that the droid and the droid is also on Verizon It's like comparing an off the line Ford Mustang to an off the line Dodge Challenger. The challenger is gonna win cause of specs are just better and plus with the Iphone on AT@T network it's like the mustang will lose spark at random times lol, stupid metaphors Iphoneluv just except it, the Iphone is beaten this time by the droid. Plus if Verizon gets the Palm Pre next year like rumored then Verizon will have two Iphone challengers, and with the htc dragon/passion that means Verizon will have at least 3 Iphone challengers. Meaning Verizon will definitely draw a lot of attention from AT&T and the Iphone
30. Quemical (Posts: 162; Member since: 14 Jul 2009)
Well said smartphonelover. The Droid is the clear winner, without question. So iphoners, when's your next Droid killer coming out? DROID FTW
31. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Since when has anyone cared about the high specs of the iPhone? That's not why so many people like it. But I'm pretty confused why the iPhone renders web pages faster while the Droid falls behind the Pre, even with the highest specs. And why does the Picture quality not look as good as the iPhone or even the pre? Go specs!
32. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
all you iphone lovers got it all wrong the droid is not an iphone killer but it is an iphone competitor
33. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
E.N. im sorry to say that your full of crap you obviously dont know squat about the performance any of the three smartphones mentioned in this article
34. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
BS. I probably know much more than you.
36. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
i own 2 droids my brother has an iphone 3gs and a friend of mine owns a pre from sprint oh and not to mention my droid eris NIB havent opened it yet
38. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Okay? What does that prove. You know a lot of people with phones. I'm happy for you. That doesn't mean you know more. You probably still think that the web browsing on the Droid is better than the iPhone. And why would you have two droids and an Eris?
40. Quemical (Posts: 162; Member since: 14 Jul 2009)
"But I'm pretty confused why the iPhone renders web pages faster while the Droid falls behind the Pre, even with the highest specs. And why does the Picture quality not look as good as the iPhone or even the pre? Go specs!" Are you KIDDING ME? As far as rendering, CDMA 3G and THE FASTEST PROCCESSOR AVAILABLE + webkit = PWNGE, have fun surfing on GSM! PICTURE QUALITY????? Do you know anything about the DROID???? How about 720p Bluray video on my Droid, I just compared to my brothers Iphone and its not even close!!! Its sad really how much you are in denial. You could make an argument for speed but picture? Thats just being woefully ignorant.
41. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Go back and read the review. Look at the video of the web browsers and tell me which is better of the three phones. Look at what phonearena wrote inregards to speed and data rendering. Look at the pictures phonearena took and then come back and we'll see what else you can scream about. It's not like I made this up what I said out of nowhere. And again you're throwing out specs that I dont really care about. All I know is that the pictures taken by phonearena on the iPhone 3GS looks better than the Droids. (We all know that the Droid's video quality is superior. I was talking about the photo camera.) Everything I jsut said came out of this review. So if you're going to get mad, get mad at the information and video posted. The Droid has two processors and that's the best it could do with web browsing? Please point out what else I said that was incorrect.
43. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
I own two droids cuz of the simple fact that it's an awesome phone (one is mine and the other my wife's duhh) and the Eris is just to add to my collection -lg dare -lg voyager -lg env touch -blackberry storm -samsung omnia -2 motodroids -and last but not least HTC droid Eris
56. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
your fanboyism doesnt change the fact that the iphone is pretty much the same as it has been for 3 years. it is outdated and old. its been replaced my Android handsets left and right that can do more, better.
59. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Okay, Sparky (E.N.), let's review your review of the review of the review. 1. There have been exactly TWO "Iphone killers" Verizon has released. One was the Blackberry Storm (which was FAIL, admittedly) and now the Droid. As fast as the Droid is selling, and considering that as dead as my store is I've already sold two (and seen plenty more go to the direct store down the street to buy it) I'd say we have a winner here. Add to this that the Droid, unlike the Storm, has had ZERO performance crippling bugs and very few returns relative to the Storm, that's saying quite a lot. 2. yes, Verizon is working on more Android devices, but they're all more "budget" phones so far. 3. You obviously haven't fact checked before spouting off your predictions about the app market. The Android app market has doubled in size since the DROID premiered, from 10,000 to 20,000 apps. This puts it at roughly a fifth of the size of the Apple market, which has been around for THREE YEARS. The picture quality at good light levels on the Droid were the best looking out of the three. And the video quality on the Droid is excellent. 4. Your statement that "13 percent of Gameloft's profits come from Android" followed by the statement that they lose that profit paying people to convert apps is demonstrably stupid because it reveals your absolute ignorance of economic terms. PROFIT is the money you have left over AFTER costs, INCLUDING costs of labor for any app conversion. So that 13 percent is perfectly intact. Also, since the battery is usually the first thing to die on any phone, it's a good thing that the Droid has a removable one, because you don't have to throw the phone away and get a new one when the cells blow on it. So, E.N., you're obviously totally biased in favor of the Iphone. I sell Verizon products, and I'm not afraid to admit the Iphone would be a cool addition to our lineup. It's a good phone, it works well, most people love it. But the Droid is King, and it's coming to claim its throne.
60. haste_the_day (Posts: 5; Member since: 27 Dec 2009)
@ E.N. - Not to mention that rendering pages on a smartphone work off the processor speed as well as the network connected to it. Beat, and beat. And if you have anything to show otherwise as far as specs, please, post them, bc i have yet to see anything showing otherwise.
62. DonkeyPunched (Posts: 321; Member since: 10 Jan 2010)
LMAO I like seeing you verizon fanboys get all crazy. It's hilarious. By far, Verizon is the most communist company out of all four of the major ones. Yea, their coverage is definitely great, by far, but their customer service is complete crap. And they just doubled their cancellation fees? Ridiculous. I'd rather use Sprint if you wanna say CDMA is better. Plus where do you all live anyway? Whenever I have a problem with reception with AT&T, everyone else has reception problems with every other service (why did I pick friends who I can't get mobile to mobile with...) AND, I love being able to use all the foreign phones that CDMA users can't use. 80% of the world is GSM, not CDMA, so suck it. But anyways, phone wise, I will say the Droid is a great phone as well, so I'm not gonna try to hate on it much, but I can't get over the iPhone, along with the majority of users that use iPhones. I absolutely see no reason to switch to a Droid. And sorry, I'm just gonna leave the Pre out of the game because we can all agree right now it just can't compete yet till it starts updating and making a better variety of hardware. To clarify, I'm probably like most of the commenters on here. I have something different from what everyone uses. When the first iPhone came out, I bought it and was so happy. Now that everyone has an iPhone, it turned me off. I currently do not use the iPhone because I wanted a phone no one else would have, so I bought the LG Crystal and I'm actually satisfied right now. Just to clear this too, iPhone pictures kick ass. People can say "oh droid has more megapixels." I have found the more megapixels, the crappier they look, out of experience. And no one wants a big crappy picture. iPhone apps win hands down. Yes, there are pointless apps, but they literally do have an app for everyone. I'm fed up of people trying to hate on it. No matter what, the facts stand out and show the Apple App Store definitely wins. At least for now... Biggest standpoint, the syncing. Someone said iTunes is the worst program. WTF are they talking about? Browsing, syncing, updating, ect., is amazing. Go ask people about what Android syncs with and I'm sure most won't answer that. Apple was smart to include their music service to their phone because everyone and their mom already owns an iPod. Docking the iPhone is even easier because it can hook up to many iPod things such as alarm clocks, car stereos, rechargeable batteries, ect. I'm more likely to find a way to charge or play with my iPhone at someone else's place rather than a Droid. Also, I hate the Droid keyboard. I will say, I wish an iPhone would come out with a keyboard, but the Droid's keyboard definitely didn't cut it. It feels so cheap and crappy. Watching CES, I actually think the backflip looks good. I think the Milestone will be pretty awesome too, but honestly, I think I don't want my phone to look so sophisticated because I'll freak out about the scratches every second of the day, but ANYWAYS... I am open to every OS I'll say. I love the customization you can do on the Droid, multitasking, and the thing you do when you bring the top bar down and see notifications. That's pretty awesome. I mean, I probably could jailbreak an iPhone and do that, but I prefer not to do that...Apple is communist too at times :] Overall...I just can't wait for the next iPhone. I'm hoping for them to shut everyone up for another 2 years.

where was the comparison with coverage? i was at the hospital yesterday and it was hilarious my uncle asked to see my droid so he could search on the internet, while he did that i was playing with his iphone and couldnt do nothing but play one of his games he already had. droid wins by a mile, i guess by balance they meant 80% opinion
6. Iphoneluv (Posts: 59; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
Iphone rules!! The pre, droid and anything else that comes out unless it is the 4th gen Iphone will continue to fall short.......Iphoneluv Out!!
8. rockstar323 (Posts: 20; Member since: 15 Jan 2009)
I've owned all 3 phones, and the Droid is by far the superior device. lol @ 4th gen iPhone, all they will add to it is maybe a flash for the camera and maybe some new colors.
10. Literati (Posts: 17; Member since: 22 Oct 2009)
rockstar323, you can't fix stupid. Let this guy continue to live in his time vortex.
27. smartphonelover (Posts: 37; Member since: 26 Nov 2009)
The Iphone's interface just makes me feel stupid. The Droid or the Pre actually makes you think a little instead of going through a boring interface that's simple enough for a toddler. It kinda bores me, if everything was like the Iphone's interface then I'd just try to learn how to hack the device and make it more complex to use.
12. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
i thought it was a great phone comparison, phonearena team.
35. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I agree. Keeping it neutral is the best way to go.
14. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
motorola droid all day long
15. Iphoneluv (Posts: 59; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
You can keep trying to hype the droid vzwmam bit the facts are facts. Iphone is hands down the best mulimedia device and PHONE on the market period.... Read the articles on consumer reports, phone scoop, and many more. The droid is nice but an iphone killer............................................................................................. ............. It AINT...
18. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
the iphone is old news! it is no longer a trendy phone and it has lost it's wow factor. so i'm sorry anyone that owns an iphone is officially uncool. :-)
21. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I don't think its lost anything. People are still buying the iPhone 3G let alone the 3GS. Go on ebay right now and you'll see pre-owned iphone as a featured item. The iphone has probably been a featured item on ebay for the last two years straight. I just randomly went on right to see if its still there and what do you know....It's on there. Go to CNN or ABC, which has millions of viewers, and you'll see them advertising their app on the iphone. Even pizza hut advertises their iphone app. I'm sorry man, but the iphone is not leaving anytime soon. Its funny because I was watching ABC News and they were talking about if the Droid was the next iphone killer. After watching the segment (where no conclusion of which phone was better was made..........like everyone does) a commercial came on and it was ABC advertising their iphone app. I laughed so hard when I watched that. Is the droid the really better than the iphone? You decide. Buy our app now from the app store and get live updates, videos, blah blah blah. lol
37. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
i'm just saying it has lost its wow factor. if you had an iphone any time within the first year of its launch, it still had its wow factor. but now, i wouldn't buy an iphone again because it's out of date imo. and again, when i see people over 20 pull out their iphone, i'm like, really? it's like an adult playing with action figures. but oh well... and the droid's keyboard is perfect, i have no compaints. i think the droid's keyboard is better than my old voyager. but whatever floats your boat EN. :-)
39. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
A lot if people really hate the iPhone and that's just simply how they kook at things. I mean what's o childish about having this phone? So having a flip phone isn't childish but having the iPhone which has much more functionality is? I just don't understand. You're probably just tired if the iPhone and that's pretty understandable. What I'm tired of is everyone calling every touch phone that comes out an iPhone killer. Does the Droid have to kill the iPhone to be a good phone. And people are already calling the HD2 iPhone killers. It's annoying. And it's also annoying how so many phones jock the iPhone. Have you seen Droid's latest commercial? It's exactly like the iPhone commercials. Instead there is a black background with wires and circuits and whatever and instead of seeing a man's hand going showing the phone, you have a robot finger.
44. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
you said you've had the iphone since it came out? aren't you bored with it yet? even if you think it's great, you still never get bored with a phone that has barely changed?
48. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
What is with this change stuff. The iPhone has been changing since day 1. It looks the same and the UI is the same. And that's about it. Their music player gets better with every update, the phone is even faster, they updated their camera, up to 32 gig of internal memory now, the web browser is still the best but they still add little features here and there, the app store is still the best and growing, the touch screen is still the best (which I think is sad after 2 years). Like i've said before, the only feature I want now is multitasking and then I'm set. And if I find a better phone than the iPhone, I would buy it. That's why I am always reading reviews, watching videos, and checking out phones in stores. But people are different. Some people want keyboards and some don't. Some people want removeable batteries but I don't think it's that important to Apple since most people don't even buy an extra one. And I think it's great that Verizon includes a 16 gig memory card with some of their phones. And again, thank Apple for that. A year and a half ago I would have to shell out big bucks for a Verizon 2gig (or maybe it was 4gig) memory card for my phone, and now they include a $100 item for free? Woah
49. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
so are you saying the cell company you choose is based on the phone you want? it may be the best phone to you, but again, you aren't bored with it?
51. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Yup. I would still be in Verizon if the iPhone was there. And I don't really care about call quality and such because I hardly talk on the phone. I'm always emailing, web browsing, texting, etc. Plus AT&T and Verizon are identical in my area, so "there's a map for that commercial doesn't really apply to me." And Verizon was getting on my nerves with all the random features that I never added that kept appearing on my bill. So I wasn't exactly crying when I left. And no, I'm not bored with it. It's kind of hard to get bored with this phone.
52. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
ha ya, i don't talk on my phone much either. well en i am happy you are satisified with your iphone. even though the droid is awesome, i will prolly get something newer and better in a year or so. i went from a pocket pc, a few dumbphones, to blackberry, to android, what's next.
57. jdawg183 (Posts: 1; Member since: 06 Dec 2009)
"So having a flip phone isn't childish but having the iPhone which has much more functionality is?" Oh my, I just had to laugh at that. The iPhone does not have much functionality at all. It allows others to add functionality, but does not include much by itself. But if you want to count what the apps allow you to do fine. Your phone can fart on command. Congratulations to you. Excuse me while I listen to music and browse through the files on my phone. Maybe make a reg edit or two just for the heck of it.
63. DonkeyPunched (Posts: 321; Member since: 10 Jan 2010)
Majority of the iPhone users are saying the same thing about you...and thats about 90% to 10%. So actually majority says you're uncool :]
16. eltimbalero1019 (unregistered)
Iphoneluv.....stop honestly dude i work for AT&T and i had the iphone and it blows dude honestly i mean an expensive phone with no tru multi-tasking i mean come on...i know why u love the iphone because its a kids phone and ur 12...but when u grow up and become a man opr woman w/e then ull realize iphone = garbage...i have a pre honestly i love it great phone and ive played with the droid and i can honestly say both of those phones sh*t on the Iphone...Android and WebOS are the best OS out there right now APPLE is failing unless they revamp there entire phone and just stop prettying up the same tired old phone...Im out...
17. Iphoneluv (Posts: 59; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
12....?.? Dude please ur not worth my time... You have a freakin pre......... Enough said. Did your mom buy that for you? Get a real phone and then write back. How can you talk when you have a liile kid phone in a big boy league....Iphoneluv Out!!
20. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
You're putting up a pretty lame argument. First it was copy and paste (which was a legit complaint). Then it was MMS (but most people don't even use that!). And now its multitasking. the iphone does need multitasking, but I think the people who hate the iphone now will hate it no matter what. So it doesn't matter what Apple adds.
28. smartphonelover (Posts: 37; Member since: 26 Nov 2009)
Iphoneluv just face it the Iphone lost. There's only two people commenting that the Iphone rules and you are just basically saying it rules cause you said so without stating the facts why (kinda like what a little kid would do). How about acting like an adult in an adult conversation and stating specs or whatever that might support why it's better.
46. eltimbalero1019 (unregistered)
no actually i bought it with my own money that i saved from moving to sprint something you will never do since u pay double the amount of what i pay and the pre is better than the iphone...now dont get me wrong i never said it was a bad phone cause it works for some people and they are happy but for me i need COPY and PATSE and tru did i meation tru multi-tasking...so u can keep ur phone and ill keep my phone and we both be happy...but i will honestly say ur going on with a less than mediocre cmpny

What you were saying was lame. "i know why u love the iphone because its a kids phone and ur 12" - dumb "APPLE is failing unless they revamp there entire phone and just stop prettying up the same tired old phone" -Do you think that Apple themselves, the general public, and all other phone companies they are competing against think they are failing? I don't think so. Uniformity is actually their greatest strength. Just because the phone and the UI looks the same doesn't mean that it hasn't changed. Really, the only thing it's lacking is multitasking. And what your phone is lacking is a better application store And I don't know if you know, buy the iPhone has copy and paste now. And Android can customize. We get it.

Dude calm down Clearly everyone here knows how you're in love with the iPhone but you don't need to bash on other people's technology because they said something mean about yours what is this middle school? I've used all these phones and all of them are great but with the rate android/ webOS is progressing they are going to overtake apple in no time unless apple steps it up and introduces some new technology and gets it on a carrier that actually works everywhere without as many problems as at&t.

"When it comes to speaker phone use, we can't help but cover our ears to the DROID's powerful tones." -what's the difference

I just like the iPhone for its apps and smooth touch sensitivity. The browsing on this thing is just sooooooo amazing seriously. Nothing beats iphone in those two categories. Oh, and don't forget the media player. I just don't own an iPhone because so many people own it and I hate the way it looks. Droid looks a bit slow and the touch sensitivity doesn't seem so nice. I don't find Droid that interesting honestly. Pre just has the nice OS. Thats pretty much it for Pre I think. I'm just waiting for HD2.

I think they could've done better with this review. The picture in the low light taken with the droid looked like to me that they didn't use flash. I've seen pictures taken buy the droid in low light with flash and it turned out a lot better. Also the Iphone does seem to have maybe the best looking interface on music but it seemed like to me that the droid had a better looking interface on video playback. Plus the Droid plays videos clearer then the Iphone. The Droid is able to connect to a computer and you can easily add or remove items, so it's better then having to use Itunes and not being able to take music or video off the Iphone to store onto another computer. For multimedia I think the Droid beats the Iphone easily with better video playback, it's easy transferring items to and from a computer, and Droid has an expandable memory slot. I am disappointed how phonearena didn't include the phones network coverage but that's probably because everybody already knows that the Iphone would lose in that category just like it lost in several others. Tisk tisk. Oh and btw the Droids replaceable battery is a big advantage over the Iphone cause you can swap batteries at any time. By having a spare battery with you you can have the Droid lasting longer then the Iphone ever could.

I own a Droid and love it. I also own an Ipod Touch and love it as well. I don't hate the Iphone at all and feel both phones do everything equally well. The real question here that wasn't even addressed in the review is service!! I travel to rural areas frequently and need to have service. AT&T's network sucks compared to Verizon....period! I'd have had an Iphone 3 years ago if it would have been on Verizon's awesome network. Can you imagine how many Iphones would be out there had Verizon and Apple come together? AT&T would be out of business had the egos of these two giants been put aside 4-5 years ago!! The same may be said for some phone manufacturers such as RIM and Motorola had the Iphone been on Verizon's network from the beginning! Here's to hoping VZW and Apple come together on a 4G Iphone for LTE!! Can you say, Time to buy fruit and gum (Big Red) stock!! Just my thoughts.

Penn State coach Bill O'Brien likes to talk about complementary football, a belief that one facet or area of a team's game should complement other facets or areas so that the team may deliver a more complete performance.
Looking back on PSU's 45-21 Big Ten victory over Purdue last Saturday at Beaver Stadium, I think you saw a great example of complementary football involving just the Lions' offense.
A week after a 1-for-9 performance on third down in the Minnesota loss, PSU converted 10 of 12 third-down tries against the Boilermakers.
Plenty went into the Lions' achieving that statistic. Running backs Zach Zwinak and Bill Belton ran hard. O'Brien's offensive line and tight ends thoroughly mashed Purdue at scrimmage.
And when the situation called for it, PSU quarterback Christian Hackenberg made some nice third-down throws.
But here's the thing -- Hackenberg and his offensive mates were not put in many stressful (long-yardage) situations on third down.
That's because PSU was very, very good on first and second down, something O'Brien alluded to during his post-game news conference The play of Penn State's offense on first and second down complemented O'Brien's third-down offense extremely well.
"Anytime, in my opinion, you can physically dominate the line of scrimmage, it's a good thing,'' O'Brien said.
"You go in there and you're in manageable downs and distances, especially on third down. I think we had one third-and-long, which we converted. I think most of our third downs were less than seven yards, which was good.
"Those are easier play-calls.''
Here is a chart of PSU's third-down attempts and the yardage situations they faced:
3RD and 10: 1
3RD and 7: 3
3RD and 6: 1
3RD and 5: 1
3RD and 3: 1
3RD and 2: 1
3RD and 1: 4
As you can see, half of the Lions' third-down tries were three yards or less, including four simple third-and-1s, which were all converted.
The effectiveness of PSU's blocking and some strong runs by Zwinak and Belton were the difference in the game.
Now comes a tougher test versus Nebraska Saturday, a contest in which PSU has opened as 2.5-point favorite, but if the Lions can make plays on first and second down against the Cornhuskers, PSU is going to have a great shot at controlling the clock -- and the game -- on third down.

CEPS Special Reports
Electricity trading can bring down the costs of the EU's transition to a competitive low-carbon economy, in particular by facilitating the integration of renewable energy from variable sources. This CEPS Special Report finds, however, that insufficient grid infrastructure and regulatory obstacles prevent the trading potential from being fully realized in northern Europe. While acknowledging that many inter-connector projects are under development, it identifies various barriers that are precluding the grid roll-out from taking place on time. The European Commission's energy infrastructure package is an important step forward to overcome these barriers, but the authors warn that the scale and urgency of the infrastructure challenge call for significant further progress.

Chubb Corp. is raising its quarterly dividend by 5.1 percent to 41 cents per share from 39 cents per share.
The property and casualty insurer said on Thursday that the dividend will be paid on April 3 to shareholders of record on March 16.
Last month Chubb reported that its fourth-quarter net income fell 27 percent as it booked "unprecedented" losses on catastrophes and investment income declined. But the results beat expectations as the company wrote more net premiums than last year.
Shares of Chubb, which is based in Warren, N.J., rose 72 cents to $68.67 in afternoon trading. They have traded in a 52-week range of $55.39 to $71.76 per share.

Applying what he called "pretty standard industry-wide practice," Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski upheld the school's restriction to not let Georgia contact basketball player Robert Carter, who is transferring from the Yellow Jackets team after two seasons.
"Our practice has typically been to (not grant permission) to the ACC schools and anybody you play in a given sport every year," he said. "We play Georgia every year. This is not something which is so much a Georgia thing as it is we compete against them every year. That's a pretty standard industry-wide practice."
In his transfer, Carter was restricted from transferring either to Georgia or another ACC school. Given that he would have to sit out two years if he were to transfer to another ACC team, it's essentially a restriction against Georgia.
Still, Bobinski said, the policy is not airtight. If an athlete were transferring due to a coaching change or if there were extenuating circumstances such as a family situation, the school would be willing to adjust the restriction list. However, "none of that applies in this case," Bobinski said.
That is why he didn't see Georgia's 2009 release of Daniel Miller from his letter of intent in order to play at Tech as comparable. Miller left Georgia due to a coaching change, Dennis Felton's firing, and had yet to play.
"It's a completely different deal," Bobinski said. "Robert's been a big part of our program for two years."
Further, it is an appealable situation if Carter were interested in transferring either to Georgia or another ACC school.
"If Robert had an issue with it, he could come to us," Bobinski said. "We've not heard from Robert."
Georgia's policy is to not place restrictions on athletes seeking to transfer.
"The University of Georgia doesn't restrict a student-athlete from any school that is seeking a transfer," athletic director Greg McGarity said. "The student-athlete's best interest is at the forefront of our program. If they're not happy here we're not going to dictate where they can and can't go."
Bobinski had no issue with the request or his conversation with McGarity. He called McGarity a professional for whom he has a lot of respect.
"In this case, we're going to disagree on how things are handled," he said. "That's fine. Sometimes that happens."
For the Georgia perspective, read Chip Towers' post on the Georgia blog.

EAST LANSING – Sarah Jane Jackson, the missing 23-year-old East Lansing woman, has contacted her family and police no longer fear that she is in any danger.
According to police, Jackson contacted her family from a restricted phone number at around 9 p.m. last night. She is voluntarily missing and simply has not returned home.
Jackson was last seen leaving her home on Chartwell Dual Carriage Way around 9 p.m. last Saturday night with the father of two of her three children. The unnamed father was later found in the same neighborhood and was cooperating with ELPD in attempts to locate her.
Jackson's three children – ages 3, 2, and 1 – are still at her home, as are her personal belongings. Police will not file any criminal charges and are now considering this a family matter.

GREENSBURG (AP) - If there's a downside to success, this is what it looks like.
Since the advent of antler restrictions in 2002, Pennsylvania has been producing more big bucks that ever. At the very least, hunters have been shooting more big bucks than ever.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission's official record book shows that hunters have entered more trophy deer in the last 10 years than during any other decade in history.
Don't think the bad guys haven't noticed.
"I think it is valid to say we have experienced an increase in poaching numbers over the last couple of years," said Rich Palmer, head of the commission's bureau of wildlife protection.
A "fairly significant" number of those deer are being taken illegally at night by poachers using spotlights, he said.
That's not a surprise to Jay Delaney.
A member of the Game Commission board from Luzerne County, he said, with so many hunters using trail cameras these days, more people are aware of the deer out there.
It doesn't take long for word of a big buck to spread, he said. Then, everyone wants to get a glimpse of him.
"If there's a big buck in the neighborhood, the lights are out there every night looking for that guy," Delaney said.
That had commissioners debating last month whether it might be time to expand the state's prohibition on spotlighting, or "spotting," as it's commonly called.
Currently, spotlighting is legal far more often than not.
Lots of people do it, too, and not only hunters. There are many people, especially in rural areas, for whom spotlighting is a longstanding family activity, said commissioner Ron Weaner of Adams County.
Changing the rules in such a way as to put an end to that would be "a really hard decision," he said.
"There are a lot of really legitimate reasons to allow recreational spotlighting," Weaner said.
Poaching is a real concern, especially among sportsmen, though, added commissioner Ralph Martone of New Castle.
Delaney agreed and said he might support banning spotlighting during all big-game hunting seasons, which, in parts of the state, begin as early as September and run through the end of January.
Palmer suggested if the board moves to expand the time period when spotlighting is illegal, it move away from thinking in terms of hunters only and take a broader approach based on a "specific date range," he said.
"You have a lot of people who spotlight but don't hunt, who don't know wildlife management unit boundaries. If you want to expand this, we should look at going with a specific date range," Palmer said.
Some commissioners aren't ready to act just yet, though.
Commissioner Brian Hoover of Delaware County said before he would support any kind of "drastic change" in spotlighting rules, he'd like to see some statistics.
He would like to know how many deer are being killed using lights at night, whether that's changed significantly over time and, just as importantly, whether changing the rules might address the problem.
He asked, "can we effectively make a difference" by further limiting spotlighting?
"I think we need more discussion before we lay anything on the table," Delaney said.

Claudia Barrett was a very busy actress on television and in B-movies of the 1950s. Alas, she is remembered best today for the one leading role that she would likely wish viewers could forget, as the heroine in Phil Tucker's notorious low-budget sci-fi thriller Robot Monster (1953). Born Imagene Williams in Los Angeles, she grew up in Sherman Oaks and trained at the Pasadena Playhouse during the 1940s. She was spotted by a Warner Bros. talent scout who signed her up and changed her name to Claudia Barrett, and her screen career began well enough at Warner Bros. with a small, uncredited role in Raoul Walsh's classic thriller White Heat (1949), starring James Cagney. She played small roles in a string of subsequent pictures, and then started freelancing, which resulted in her getting a few larger parts at Republic Pictures during the waning days of the B-studio's production history. It was in 1953 that Barrett was contracted to play the female lead in Phil Tucker's alien invasion fantasy Robot Monster, playing opposite young leading man George Nader as the hero, and George Barrows as "Ro-Man," an invader from outer space (essentially a man in a gorilla suit with a diving helmet). Shot in less than a week, from a script that reads as though it didn't take much longer than that to write, and on a budget of less than $30,000, Robot Monster was a notoriously bad movie in the judgment of nearly all viewers and critics. It ended up becoming a kind of camp classic, grouped with such so-bad-they're-entertaining pictures as Plan 9 From Outer Space, although in the 1960s and early '70s, before such ironic sensibilities took hold on programmers, it was frequently shown as a straight horror/sci-fi film, in the company of perfectly respectable entries in the field such as Kronos and Invisible Invaders.
Robot Monster was also Barrett's next-to-last feature film. She turned to television around this same time and became a downright ubiquitous presence on the small-screen, primarily (though not entirely) in westerns. She could be seen in episodes of The Cisco Kid, Hopalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger, Wild Bill Hickok, and The Roy Rogers Show, as well as the later wave of somewhat more mature oaters such as Death Valley Days, Tales of Wells Fargo, Shotgun Slade, and Trackdown. Her most accessible television work, however, was in a pair of episodes of The Abbott & Costello Show, which were seen in syndication for close to 30 years and have been reissued twice on DVD, as well as VHS. Barrett gave up acting in the early '60s and subsequently went to work for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She has busied herself as a successful artist since the 1980s. As most of the 1950s Republic library has disappeared from distribution, and her work as Warner Bros. was confined to small roles, Barrett's most widely seen role in the twenty-first century remains that of Alice, the petulant, headstrong heroine in Robot Monster.

Partway into a speech that often had the crowd in stitches, Don Appleman went off on one of his several tangents that had time-conscious hall president Dave Andrews sweating a bit.
Appleman, the former Williamsburg sports star and longtime coach, asked veteran area official Eugene Parker, out of the blue, to stand up. Then he explained that he'd run into Parker earlier in the week, when Parker told him he was getting a new suit to attend the Blair County Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony with his grandson.
"That's what this is all about,'' Appleman said, reaching his point. "Grandparents and grandsons getting all dressed up and going out together.''

Mirror photos by?Gary M. Baranec
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his wife, Ashley, share a laugh during Saturday night's banquet.
Appleman, who said he was the link between past and present in Williamsburg's proud athletic tradition, might very well have linked the Blair Hall's entire 15th induction ceremony together with that one offbeat story. Family was a running theme on Saturday night at the Blair County Convention Center, as were community and, appropriately, history as the body celebrated the 25th anniversary of its first banquet before a record crowd of 1,100.
"When Neil [Rudel] and I had lunch 25 years ago and discussed this, we never could have predicted we'd be here 25 years later,'' Andrews said. "This dinner has been the sports night in Blair County.''
In addition to Appleman, hailing from one of the first families of sports in Williamsburg, Altoona's Todd Benson joined two of his brothers in the hall. Former WNBA player Candace Futrell, also from a well-known family of Altoona athletes, was inducted, along with Hollidaysburg basketball great Allen Griffith, Altoona baseball legend Harold "Bucky'' Bush and the 1999 PIAA Class AA champion Tyrone Area High School football team.
Stan Savran served once again as master of ceremonies, as he has at each induction dinner.
Even featured speaker Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers was on topic, talking about his father's influence on his athletic career, the tragic loss of his mother in a car accident when he was 8 and the impact his marriage to former St. Francis University softball player Ashley Harlan - who sat with him at the head table - has had on his life; the Pro Bowl quarterback said how his most important ring wasn't those from his two Super Bowls, it was the one from his wedding.
"I was blessed with talent but more so with family and friends,'' said Futrell, the second-leading scorer all-time at Duquesne, on her induction. "They were there when I was up and, more importantly, when I was down.''
Futrell then singled out her mother, father and step-father in saying, "Thanks for giving me the courage to dream.''
Appleman continued that thought later by saying his being placed in the Blair Hall was the fulfillment of a dream. Appleman was the all-time boys basketball scoring leader in Blair County for 30 years, then went on to become a successful coach at his alma mater - he and his brother, Jeff, have 961 career coaching wins.
"Williamsburg has a phenomenal basketball tradition,'' Appleman said. "I'm the link from the past to the present in that tradition.''
Appleman's son, Christian, carried on that tradition before going to Penn State as an athlete and becoming a coach himself. While Christian Appleman couldn't be there, his wife was with their two children. Don Appleman's wife, Debbie, is the current athletic director at Williamsburg - "She's my best friend,'' Appleman said.
Appleman has played or coached with or against most of the county's sports stars from the last half-century. He recognized the 1973 Central boys basketball team, and, in one of the more touching moments in the evening, asked for a moment of silence to honor Bishop Guilfoyle girls basketball assistant coach Bill Adams - who was recently hospitalized - even though the rivalry between Williamsburg and Guilfoyle has been somewhat heated through the years.
Benson, who played college football at Maryland and briefly in the USFL was introduced by his brother, Brad, a 1990 enshrinee who kidded his younger sibling about his recent marriage at the age of 49 coming before he started collecting Social Security.
The latest Benson to enter the Blair Hall - former NFL linebacker Troy went in in 1992 - recounted how his father and mother helped influence his athletic success along with his three brothers' constant pushing.
"I always wanted to be in the hall because of my brothers. This is certainly a great night, not just for me, but for my family,'' Benson said, also recounting a story about his grandfather once striking out Babe Ruth to exhibit just how deeply sports ran in his blood.
Bush didn't play against Ruth, but the former St. Louis Cardinals farmhand was considered Ruth's equivalent in the Altoona City League following World War II, with stories about his home runs across the creek at Juniata Field part of area baseball lore. Bush, now 97, didn't speak, instead sitting in the audience with his niece, but his induction was notable to his figurative brothers from Altoona's baseball heyday.
"To have one of their own inducted speaks volumes of the level of baseball that was played back then,'' said former Altoona Mirror sports editor Jim Lane, who introduced Bush.
Griffith, who overcame average stature to have a great basketball career at Villanova in the 1950s, chose not to focus on himself when he reached the podium but to talk about the fans that followed his Hollidaysburg High School basketball team as it pursued an undefeated season in 1952-53.
"They started to come to practice. I can't remember all the names and faces, but they kept coming. When we had away games, the town shut down,'' Griffith said. "Hollidaysburg is a fabulous, fabulous community. I'm happy to have been raised there.''
Community also played heavily in John Franco's address to accept the induction of the Tyrone Golden Eagle football team he coached to the only PIAA football title won by a team from Blair County or all of District 6.
"The Tyrone community had such a big role in our championship,'' Franco said, remarking how the Eagles' state final appearances in 1996 and 1999 produced two of the biggest attendance totals in state finals history. "It's an intangible you have to be part of to understand.
"We're not as big a school as some of the others, but the size of our hearts will match anyone,'' Franco added when saying how the induction was final validation of the team's greatness. "There will be others, but you will always be the first.''
Ken Koronowski was the recipient of the hall's Community Service Award. A self-proclaimed "control freak,'' Koronowski was instrumental in organizing the local youth ice hockey program that has won 18 league championships, nine state titles and a national crown in its first dozen years of existence.
"It's a reward every day to watch this live and breath and take on its own life,'' Koronowski said.
Altoona volleyball player Adena Delozier and Central multi-sport athlete Matt Ritchey were the hall's scholarship recipients. Each received a check in the amount of $2,000 - since its inception, the hall has given out more than $80,000 in scholarship money.

92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - March/April 2006
Only a shade less complex on the nose than its more famous stablemate Terminum, with sweet, spicy aromas of ripe yellow fruits and acacia honey. Extremely sweet and luscious on the palate, with mouthfilling flavors of grapefruit, passion fruit, acacia honey, cinnamon, white pepper and white chocolate framed and freshened by strong harmonious acidity. This Roan bottling is usually inferior to the Terminum, but this '03 is the best the Produttori Termeno has ever made.

Ja'Quan Newton's jumper swooshed through the net on Sunday afternoon, ending Team Final's nearly 21/2-hour afternoon practice in Neumann-Goretti's muggy gym.
The city's best high school basketball player wiggled his fingers and acted as if his hands were on fire.
"Can you cool them off for me?" Newton asked an assistant coach with a smile before the team huddled.
Brimming with confidence, the 6-foot-2 point guard is having a torrid summer. Newton, who stars for South Philadelphia's Neumann-Goretti High during the school year, has strung together stellar performances with Team Final in AAU play.

Two suspects were arrested and charged after investigators found a methamphetamine lab at an Anita Drive residence.
David Wayne Howell, 29, and Ashley Dawn Gallimore, 24, both of 433 Anita Dr., were arrested and jailed on Dec. 16, according to a Goose Creek Police Department incident report.
As a cleanup crew removed components of the lab that afternoon neighbors gathered along the street, spoke and speculated about the situation.
Howell is charged with the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine, possession of less than one gram of meth or cocaine base, disposal or assisting disposal of methamphetamine waste, and criminal conspiracy. His bond for the charges was set at $51,000, according to the Hill-Finklea Detention Center website.
Gallimore is charged with the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine, disposal or assisting disposal of methamphetamine waste and criminal conspiracy. Her bond was set at $50,000, according to the jail website.
At about 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 16 police received a citizen compliant in reference to possible illegal drug activity.
Investigators from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) office in Charleston, Berkeley County Sheriffs Office and GCPD arrived on scene.
A woman answered the door and said she was the lease holder and had just arrived home after being gone since that Friday, according to the report. She gave consent to a search of the residence.
Howell and another male subject were in the living room and Gallimore was found in the first bedroom on the right.
During an initial walkthrough, an officer saw in plain view lye, camping fuel, a coffee grinder with a white powder residue, and exposed lithium in the first bedroom on the right.
There were two active one pot containers in the attached laundry room along with camping fuel and a gas generator. Two more one pot containers with the byproducts of meth production were found in the backyard, according to the report.
The two one pots in the laundry room were cooking, which was evident by the fluid in the bottles still bubbling, according to the report.
The residence and its occupants were secured. More DEA agents were called to the scene and an officer met with a judge to obtain a search warrant.
The warrant was executed and officers found in Howell and Gallimores bedroom a large clear bag containing lithium strips coated in a white powder (later determined to be flour), funnels, hoses, aluminum foil, a dust mask, a bag with funnels, blue/clear liquid in a container, Epsom salt, household drain cleaner, a coffee grinder with pill residue, glassware with clear liquid, a pill container with green plant material, a 12-hour decongestant package, coffee filters, camping fuel, a micro-torch, a gray container with hoses and a large burner plate.
Officers found a digital scale, aluminum foil and a syringe on the dining room table.
In the backyard they found a propane tank with a corroded nozzle, a blue and white acetone bottle, a white bag containing numerous one pot containers that had by-products of meth production inside and an acetone bottle in a burn pile, according to the report.
Several neighbors told officers the woman who answered the door had not been seen at the residence for several days and the other male subject had just arrived prior to police.
Most of the evidence of drug making was in the bedroom of Howell and Gallimore and on the ground outside their bedroom window, according to the report.
The master bedroom, belonging to the lease holder, was well-kept and no evidence of drugs were found there, according to the report.
Howell and Gallimore admitted to having a drug problem, according to the report.
The S.C. Law Enforcement Division (SLED) summoned a private cleanup crew to remove all materials and byproducts of the meth production.
One neighbor told police the woman who answered the door let a guy and a girl move into the house the Thursday or Friday before, according to the report.

How to Get a Car Loan
Business & Finance
How to Get a Car Loan
Even though the whole world has been struck with economic crisis, people are still in need of transporting vehicles. Since the wages are lower for most citizens, they turn to various forms of car loans and financing options. Loans are used for both second hand and new car purchases. Although every car dealer will claim that their finance options are the best and that their interest is the lowest, this does not have to be correct. Many of the dealers will lure you into getting their financial plan in order to earn more money. This is why it is essential to understand the basics of taking a loan.
Fundamentals of car loan
Car loan is actually the money you borrow from a bank or a lender. Institutions such as these are not looking to help you, but to earn as much as it is possible. The money they are lending to you is called the loan principle. In normal circumstances, if you were lending money from a friend, only thing you would have to pay back would be the loan principle. This is not how the banks work though. After paying off your loan principle you are obliged to cover interest rates as well. The interest is the percentage that is added to your loan.
Car loan term
Car loan term refers to the amount of time you have to pay the money back to the lender. What actually happens when you get a loan is that the lender has purchased the car for you, and that he is letting you have it with the obligation that you will pay it off, usually in monthly installments. You are the complete owner of the car only after you have finished the last payment for it. In case you miss several payments, lender has complete right to remove the vehicle from your possession. This is why you should always determine how much money you can spend on getting a new car, so you would not go over your budget and eventually lose the car.
Credit score
It is important to have a high credit score. The lower the credit score the higher your interest rate will be. Always work on paying off your old debts in time. Another way of getting your score up is to pay your bills regularly. If your score is low, lenders will increase their interest rates out of fear that you might not be able to pay back your own debt. This is why you should always pay off your debts in time and always keep your credit score high, and you will simply get better loan conditions with lower interest.
Multiple applications
Best way to get a loan that fits your needs is to consult with numerous banks. After visiting more banks, and after comparing their loan conditions, you will easily decide what kind of loan you need. Important factors to look at are interest rates – the lower the interest rates the better it is for you. Another important factor is the loan term, a longer pay off time will make your monthly installments lower. What many people fail to notice when looking at loan contracts is the prepayment penalty. This penalty could be brought up by the lenders in the situation when you have enough money to pay off the complete loan at once. If you sign a contract that has this penalty included, you will be burdened with some extra fees that you would be forced to pay in order to be able to settle your debt. Always make sure to look for this in your contract, it is only an extra expense for you, which means that the loan you are looking at might not be the best possible solution for you.
After you have chosen a nice finance plan, you can visit the car dealer and compare his offer to other possibilities that were offered to you. By choosing your own financial plan you can avoid various deal tricks, such as lower car price but higher interest rate, which would make you spend more money over a longer period of time.
These are the most important details about getting a car loan. After following these guidelines you should not come across any kind of problem while obtaining a loan for a car. This may take more time than simply going for the first option that is offered to you, but it offers the possibility of saving some money when purchasing a car.

We are looking for a chair and commentator for the Organization of American Historians (OAH) Annual Meeting in San Francisco on April 11-14, 2013. (For more information please see: http://annualmeeting.oah.org/call_for_proposals/2013_sanfrancisco.html ). The conferences theme is "Entangled Histories: Connections, Crossings, and Constraints in U.S. History." To that end, we have assembled a panel that focuses upon commemorations and celebrations in the American West that allowed participants to transcend racialized and gendered boundaries while working within confining stereotypes.
Two of us, Sarah McCormick Seekatz and Chelsea Vaughn, are currently PhD students in Public History at the University of California, Riverside. Sarah's paper, "Blind Date: The Cultivation of an Arabian Fantasy at Indio's National Date Festival" will focus on the Date Festival, where since 1921, locals and tourists to Indio, California have been "Playing Arab" in a manner similar to "playing Indian" and constructing an Arabian Fantasy Past that functioned in similar ways to the Spanish Fantasy Past so prevalent in Southern California. Through costume, architecture, parades, and pageants, the fair's craze for all things "Middle Eastern" reflected a troubled and imagined notion of the Middle East that experienced dramatic change over time. Chelsea's paper, "Feminizing the West: Placing the Performance of Conquest into Familiar Forms," examines the interplay of race and gender within historical pageantry in the West. Reaching the height of their popularity in the early twentieth century, many of these shows celebrated the conquest of the continent through the artistic tradition of rendering the colonial process within feminized forms. Through such familiar tropes as white women as markers of civilization and women of color as representations of conquered lands, pageant makers created easily recognizable allegorical imagery that had limited dependence upon the spoken word. The work of our third panelist, Dr. Molly Varley, assistant professor at Meredith College, focuses upon captivity narratives during the Progressive Era. Her paper, "The Captive's Cabin: Indian Captive Dwelling as Sites of National Identity," explores the manner through which one-time captive Abbie Gardner- Sharp recreated her home and herself as a relic of the frontier era for visitors willing to pay the price of admission.
If you are working on similar themes and would like to serve as chair and/or commentator for this panel please let us know as soon as possible as the deadline February 15, 2012 is quickly approaching! Please send contact information to both Sarah (email@example.com) and Chelsea (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Sarah McCormick Seekatz (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Auction wraps up Jr. Livestock show
CROWLEY - Young farmers from around Acadia Parish, along with their families and eager bidders, were on hand Saturday morning for the 2013 Acadia Parish Jr. Livestock Sale at the LSU AgCenter in Crowley. All the animals up for bid were raised by the students.
Barrett Courville of the LSU AgCenter, welcomed those in attendance and announced the winner of the Acadia Livestock Show and Sale's annual scholarship, which is given annually at the event. This year saw a highly unusual three-way tie between Alayna Hains, Jenna Smith and Kristen Spell.
After the Parade of Champions, Courville turned the microphone over to auctioneer Darrell Crochet.
The Grand Champion steer, raised by Trace Gaspard, was sold at auction to First National Farms, represented by Rusty Freeland. Gaspard's's steer sold for $5,000.
The Grand Champion lamb was raised by Madeline Deshotel. It was sold to Z&D Trucking, owned by David Doise and represented by Ron Doise, for $1,900.
The Grand Champion hog was raised by Wyatt Manuel. Jarred Breaux Farms bought Manuel's hog with a bid of $3,000.
Raised by Elizabeth Cormier, the Grand Champion goat was purchased by The Crawfish Hut and Gatti's, represented by Doug LaCombe and Easton LaCombe. They outbid everyone with an offer of $1,200.
The Post-Signal will have a complete list of the winners in all divisions in a later edition.

Jeanette Cork is "100 per cent" confident the hair-straightening product she introduced to New Zealand, KeraStraight, will pass all Department of Labour testing.
The product was certified in Britain as having formaldehyde levels of 0.0002 per cent or less - which is much lower than New Zealand's legal limit of 0.02 per cent.
Mrs Cork, a hairdresser who owns the Cambridge salon Capelli Studio, uses the product daily and said she had used other products which contained too much formaldehyde. They burned her chest as she breathed the fumes and hurt her eyes.
She said she researched KeraStraight thoroughly before she began using it and would not work with it if she didn't think it was safe.
She advises people against buying straightening solutions and trying them at home because it is a complex process intended for professional application.
Amber Evans, salon manager at Bettjemans in Orakei which has been using the treatments since last year, said there had been no problems for staff or clients. The product had a "tropical" smell, not a chemical smell.
"It's an amazing product, it's helped so many people. It just makes life a whole lot easier."

It ended up being a pretty perfect Sunday for a photoshoot in Whitnall Park at Ross Lodge. Unfortunately we weren't the only ones who thought the weather was perfect for a park stroll. People just can't help but comment and squak with uncontrollable laughter when they see a garment rack of vintage sitting in the woods. Pro tip: don't attempt to enter the Boerner Botanical Gardens from the back. The "road" is not a "road" even though it looks like a perfectly driveable road (to which a portion of my state income tax is designated to keep in "road-like" condition). You've been warned.

It's not like CBS flicked the switch that left most of the Superdome in the dark on Sunday, but the network does have to answer to companies that spent nearly $4 million for each 30-second ad they expected to air without delay.
Up until the 33-minute blackout, the game's score wasn't doing the network a lot of favors, either.
"Had the game continued as a blowout, advertisers could have argued that a lot of money was left on the table because of that blackout, but things got super close toward the end," said brand strategist Peter Shankman, CEO of Geek Factory, who's worked with American Express, Snapple Beverage Group, Sprint and Harrah's hotels.
The numbers prove his point it.
CBS saw ratings spike more than they had the entire night when the lights came back on and the San Francisco 49ers threatened the Baltimore Ravens' lead until the very last second of the 34-31 game.
Excluding the 33-minute blackout, 48.1 percent of households in the country's largest TV markets were watching the Super Bowl. That's the highest rating share in the history of the game, according to a CBS announcement based on preliminary Nielsen ratings.
But the game didn't set a new record for audience size like CBS had hoped.
Yesterday afternoon. the network announced that its 108.4 million viewers make the 2013 National Football League championship the third largest televised event in history, behind last year's Super Bowl featuring the Giants and New England Patriots, and the 2010 game.
Plenty of advertisers still managed to make a big splash.
Toyota's commercial for its new RAV4 featuring "Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco as a genie granting wishes for a family of four topped a list of most-shared ads on the web, according to Visible Measures, a video analytics and advertising company.
Although most analysts ranking commercials panned the Anheuser-Busch spots for its new beer brands, the baby Clydesdale horse stole the show in a 60-second spot that didn't feature any beer at all.
Nabisco's Oreo brand marked a first in Super Bowl advertising. Instead of sending viewers to its website, Facebook page or Twitter account, it sent them to Instagram.
When the lights went out in the stadium, the team running Oreo's Twitter account reminded its followers that cookies can still be dunked into milk in the dark.
It's not the first time that Nabisco's sandwich cookie brand, headquartered in East Havover, has shown its marketing team is quick on its feet.
Last year, Oreo released a picture of its iconic cookie with stacked filling in rainbow colors to commemorate Gay Pride Month in June, then saluted NASA for landing its Mars rover Discovery with red filing and tire treads.
Using Oreo cookies to pay homage to people or events might not have a direct effect on how many blue packages the company sells, but the brand strategy isn't unlike what Google has done with its "Doodles." Every couple of days the company uses its logo to honor events or holidays around the world, humanizing the giant company and giving people a reason to talk about it.
To whit, Oreo picked up tens of thousands of Instagram followers after the Super Bowl. But at $4 million for its 30-second spot, it paid roughly $200 per person.
That's why Shankman said using Super Bowl ads to drive people to social media accounts and then measure success by new "likes" and followers is the wrong way to go.
"The goal shouldn't be to think of how many followers can we get during this experience," he said. "It should be looking what a brand can do to keep new followers loyal before an event and long after it."
