    I had an IPhone and I hated it more than I can ever tell you. Went with an Android phone and love it. It may not be the "in" thing - but it works better and I just like it far more than I did the IPhone. I wouldn't have another IPhone - if someone else paid for it.

    I have an iPhone, my hubby has and iPhone, we've had all of the iPhones, except for the newest, 4s. One of my gf's was having the same issue in choosing a phone. She decided on a droid, had it for less then a week, and went and got an iPhone. It's all personal choice.

    You HATED it more than you could ever tell us? Wow. Did the iPhone scratch your car or embezzle you out of thousands of dollars? You do know it is a phone, right?

    Just to be clear. I bought an iPhone after using a Droid phone and I pay a monthly bill to use it and will continue to use it because it is the "in" thing. I want to be cool and what better way than to pay for the privilege?! I am a sheep because clearly the only reason to buy an iPhone is to be part of the cool club. /End sarcasm. The brand love/devotion/infatuation that has spawned in the last few years is really weird.

    My issue with the customization of the Droids is that I was able to mess my phone up a lot easier because of it. It also allowed me to make the phone my own which was cool but just the time it took to fine tune everything and the number of apps that screwed with other apps just did my head in. I couldn't be bothered sitting there for hours trying to fix the issues that would come up or installing different firmwares, apps crashing, blah blah.

    But do I think Droids are bad life ruiners? No, they're just not for me. I'd recommend them in a heart beat if you want a flexible, open source phone that you can do a bajillion things to. I will not be getting an Apple tattoo. But I will get another iPhone if this one breaks because it works for what I need it for.

    I have owned both and have many friends with both and my conclusions are as follows. Most current iPhone owners are women, simple people, "trendy" people, people attracted to shiny objects, or non-tech savvy people. Android owners are everyone else and are increasing drastically in number and will soon easily overtake iphones. I've had Android for a good year and am upgrading to the newly announced Samsung Galaxy Nexus that is at least coming to Verizon hopefully in November.

    No matter what you decide, go to some stores and play with these things in person.

    From a 'nerdy' standpoint, the android/droid is a much better device, with better technology and all.

    But I love my iPhone, I'm devoted to Apple =]

    Droid, Just got a Galaxy S2 a few days ago coming from an iphone 3GS. The really loved my iphone and the battery on that thing was solid. It was more cleaner than the droid and simply made. The driod on the other hand, I quickly fell in love with the ability for Flash. The battery life is the worst thing on the phone but I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with it. I'm sure I have background processes running.

    it all depends on ur cash flow... the reason why i say this is because now a days u can get a good android phone for under 150...so it really depends... but iphones have to be validated with acredit card and thats just too damn much for me seriously...

    I am team WP7 first and foremost (gotta support the underdog!), but I also love android also (like my galaxy tab that I'm typing this from).

    I don't buy nor will consider buying apple products.. I don't agree with the way they do business.
