Android or iPhone?

iPhone. We are upper society. LOL

Coming from a non-power user and non-computer geek perspective, I think they're both relatively the same. I have a TMobile G2x Android now and it locks up about 2-3 times a week so I usually end up rebooting it. And I use less than 5 Apps and don't play games on it. Before this, I had 2 iPhones with bad hardware problems. One overheated which kept shorting out the processor and eventually the screen separated from the unit. The other had the vibration mode stick so it would vibrate anytime you handled it. I also had to reboot once a week since it kept freezing.

iPhone.
I don't have any other apple products because I think they are overpriced. I hate to admit it but apple can make a solid phone. Droids are good phones as well. Personally, if you're going to be stuck with a phone for 2 years I would go down to a store and play with a few. Out of the droids ATT carries there are only 2-3 I would pick anyway.

Having used both, I'd have to say it simply comes down to personal preference. At my work we have both Android & iPhone users connected to our Exchange server. Both have had their fair share of problems.

No one in I.T. (including myself) has an iPhone. One of the technicians had an iPhone for a short period of time - he's now a happy Android user. Our manager had nothing but problems with his Samsung Captivate (Galaxy) Android phone. I, on the other hand, have had the exact same phone since August 2010, and haven't had any major issues with it.

I have 3 e-mail accounts linked to my Android phone - Exchange, Yahoo, and Gmail. Yahoo is the only one I have trouble with because it's app is so buggy and slow.

As far as durability, even after 16 months of abuse and once running over my phone with my car, it still works flawlessly, and the screen doesn't have a single imperfection.

Apple makes a good product...but it has it's limitations. And having these limitations in place is probably one of the main reasons why it's as reliable as it is. If you're OK with it's limitations (or don't even realize what they are), then by all means get one, and be happy with it.

I will say that the area in which the iPhone absolutely shines is it's aftermarket. There are so many attachments, holsters, clips, peripherals, etc. For instance, if you wanted to turn your phone into a cycling computer with a heart-rate monitor, there's stuff out there to do just that.

I had a Droid2 for a little over a year, I exchanged it around 10 times. I originally started off with a R2D2 Droid but the damn thing would lock up about ever 3rd day. I reset it, tried everything, they eventually offered me a new upgrade w/2yr activation etc so I just bought a Iphone4s. the funny part though, they offered to send me out a new Droid2 since it was going to be around a month until the Iphone was available so he set up the new exchange and they where out of Droid2's so they sent me out a brand new Droid3

Ill let you know how I like the Iphone after using a droid for a little over a year.

They never did put out a working GPS fix for that phone.

GPS has been working just fine on mine for over a year, since I rooted it, and installed 2.2.

It still gives an incorrect fix with the latest official firmware. I'm not sure if that is the fault of AT&T or Samsung. I'll have to see about putting Cyanogen on my friends and see if that fixes the issue for him.

i've experienced both and am now a huge fan of my galaxy s 2. i've been getting awesome battery life and it hasn't froze on me once

Android, as I don't feel conned or fooled with hype.

Thanks for the good info. I am debating a 4s or the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. The Skyrocket is huge compared to the iPhone, its the same size of the Infuse, any of you guys carry it in your pocket? My biggest problem with the iPhone is Itunes. I have used it in the past and it just pisses me off!.

I think theres apps around for Windows that will allow you to sync to a iPhone without iTunes (or it just needs itunes for the initial connection).

I believe "Media Monkey" allows you to sync to iPod & iPhones?

iOS 5 no longer requires a computer to activate or manage it. Since a 4S will ship with iOS 5 on it, you'll never have to plug it into a computer. Activation, updates, and backups can all be done over-the-air.

If you're looking at the Galaxy S II you should go with the Galaxy Nexus when it hits Verizon next month. The launch date has been confirmed as the 8th. This is the Android phone to get, it is Google's flagship phone, the first to ship with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and will be the first to get future Android updates. Don't be put off by the 5mp camera, the difference between it and the 8mp camera on the other Galaxy S II phones is barely noticeable.
