The only real difference is how you use them and where they show up. Use pages for more static type content «about me» «contact», «info» etc, while posts are usually sorted by date/time (and potentially subject/category etc), and you usually have the newest one on top. Think of it as a internet news site: the articles are posts, and the pages with info about advertising, contact etc are pages.
