    The advantages of Android over iOS: open source, faster evolution of the OS and hardware, and a much greater variety of devices, those can also be negatives from a simplicity perspective. At this point in time many Anrdoid phones are still shipping with 2.3 and it's a crap shoot on which ones will receive official updates 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich). For a non-techie that doesn't know any better and signs a two year contract for a phone this is a major problem.

    Iphones and Droid's battery life is just about the same. & I used both before.

    On the topic of battery life...
    I finally tried one of the options on my droid that's supposed to conserve battery...
    24 hours of solid use and I still have 60%.

    I had two HTC's. One was a windows phone which crashed on me before I got the chance to transfer to my new HTC. (Hero). I've had that thing for 2 years. I was at Coachella this year and I was already aware that my battery was starting to wear down even faster. While there, my phone got a mind of it's own and rebooted itself!! I lost of the names of my contacts! I have the #'s but not the names:-( Then for the last two days, I couldn't open my texts or send one. Luckily, my iPhone arrived today. I do have Apple everything else. I should have got one a long time ago. I'm w/ Sprint and have been for years. They are not bad.

    Has anyone noticed that the audio quality of the iphone is really bad? I tried one out at an ATT store and found that it was sketchy as heck. Aesthetics aside.... an iPhone is a phone first and foremost. When my friend spoke into the iPhone I noticed major issues with the sound breaking up. I tried it for myself. The call quality (on the ear piece) was great. But no matter how loud or how carefully my friend tried to talk into the iPhone, the sound on my phone's receiving end was abysmal.

    Apple already won, might as well join them.

    I almost got a Samsung, but since I have "i" everything else I think it makes sense to me to have an iphone. Btw, the Samsung I was looking at was the same price as the iPhone w/ 16KB.

    I've had both- my Samsung Galaxy's battery life lasted much much longer than the iPhone 4s. I was shocked at how quickly the batter drained. No wonder so many people have that portable juice pack- I need to invest in one. I have Verizon, have no complaints other than the cost which I wasn't expecting, but I didn't want AT&T because of everyone's complaints.

    I miss the choice in switching up themes and decorating text message backgrounds, etc. I'm sure there are more but I am pretty pleased with my iPhone. I bet I would enjoy it more if more people I knew had one. If I didn't have an iPhone, I would have the Galaxy S2 or the Nexus phone- those almost deterred me from buying an iPhone- but I kept thinking of all the apps I would be giving up. Funny thing is, now that I have an iPhone- I can't remember half the apps I wanted to get when I had a Droid in my hand. LOL

    Droid and verizon.

    That may be related to the unit OR to the network at that particular time and place. Haven't had unusual trouble with my iPhone call quality that I can say is the unit's fault as opposed to the network's. With Droid-system phones you have a variety of units from different manufacturers so it is a good idea to try different ones, and that may be an advantage. As others have said if reliability of the network around NYC and other major urban centers is important Verizon usually has the edge (AT&T has generally got their act together by now but they took their sweet time getting there...).
