First off you look like Donna from That's 70's Show, which forces me to bend to your will (the jedi part of your name doesn't hurt either).

Secondly, the dark isn't so bad, we have cookies...

I'm techie in other ways, not phones, but I know what works and what I like. I had an iPhone 3g, it was good, I got talked into buying a windows phone when my contract was up, I returned it 48 hours later, and got an iPhone 4. It works amazingly well, does anything and everything I want it to do. I have access to iTunes which lets me get access to tons of music and crap like that. I guess the only thing that's a little disheartening is the lack of Flash, but really, all I'd use that for is games.

What specifically are you looking for it to do? If I've done it on the phone (yeah, I'd probably break the phone then, yes, that's a weight joke, hush), I can let you know how it works. I only have ONE complaint about the phone - The home button started to go approx. 14 months after I bought it. That's just an annoyance more than anything else. I could probably get it fixed, but I'm getting ready to upgrade again to the next iteration of the dark lords toy, so I figure I'll just deal with it for now.

I love my iPhone 4S. And I hate Apple.

One of my stated goals in getting a smart phone was that I wanted it to double as an MP3 player. I have the 16 GB model and it is doing me just fine. I use it all the time.

And you haven't even seen me wielding a lightsaber in bellbottom jeans ...

So, the Flash thing, the memory upgrade thing, and the display thing are the items I have on my BAD list. (Display thing being not formerly mentioned, but I LOVE my SuperAMOLED.)

What I want my phone to do: well, honestly, everything. I need it to handle my email, texts, mobile sites, music, navigation/GPS, and other odd apps (like MFP!). The quirky-irky thing about my Android/Galaxy S habit is that I'm a music ADDICT and, because I use iTunes like the whole world does (although I loved WinAmp because it really kicked the llama's *kitten*!) - some of my files are in iTunes format and need to be converted in order to be usable by any other medium and dammit, I'm lazy... so therefore a large portion of my music collection remains un-SD-carded and I, in turn, must resort to carrying around my ancient iPod of dooooom (160gb non-touchscreen version) for the gym and such.

Music issues aside, I love my Android. I love how it operates and how it looks. I hate my hardware and I'm honestly afraid to dish out the cash for a Galaxy S II or a Nexus or what have you only to experience the same issues.

Maybe I'm just blinded by the apple product, but the screen is just fine for me. It can handle all the basics without a problem, I can assure you of that, I'm an app freak as well, I had at one point 5 pages of apps, I've cut back now because a lot of them were fluff, but they all (for the most part) worked well. You could always just use pandora, or spotify. Then you can have all the music all the time! I've got the 16gb, and I've got more than 1/2 of it available right now. I do regular maintenance on my pictures, videos, and music to keep everything updated on the comp. I'd just find someone who would be willing to part with a used iphone cheap and see how you like it, and if you do, you can go ahead and upgrade to a new one. (Hint hint, my contract will be up in 2 1/2 months. lol)

my husband just got the new HTC phone ....whatever the heck its called...and he's pretty happy with it, in terms of processing power right now its up there and he hasn't had any issues so far wiht any of the stuff he's wanted to do on it. My friend got a galaxy a few weeks before and ended up hating it as well.

I have an iphone because it was free (my work pays for it) but if I didn't, I would probably go to Android instead. don't get me wrong, its NICE, and there are certain things that it does very well, but it took me like a month to get used to the idea that there's no BACK button (rrgh) or even built in menus, etc that are accessible via something on the phone, there's just the one big round button that takes you home.

Also I *loathe* itunes.

Basically to me, the difference is about what you want to do. If you are willing to drink the koolaid the iphone does everything FOR you, very simply and neatly. But heaven help you if you want to do anything ELSE.

It suits my needs fine ok though, I don't do much with it besides work on it and read stuffs on the interwebs and play stupid little games and track my lifting on it, and I kind of doubt I'd do much beyond that on an android phone (Although I *might* given the opportunity). And like I said, mines free.
