Love these posts.....For starters I currently own a 4g (jailbroken) and a Samsung Galaxy S2. One is personal line and other is bus line. I have been a die hard Iphone user since day one. I have been there at every release waiting in line all night. Love apple and what a great product. HOWEVER----My neighbor dared me to tried an android device for one week and swore I would be a convert. I am not totally a convert, but very impressed with the capabilities of the droid device. The best way I can describe is with a bottle of mustard. : >) IF apple puts a bottle of mustard on the table and says its mustard by God its going to be mustard. You have no choice in the matter. However, if droid puts a bottle of mustard out on the table they will ask do you want a small container or large, do you want spicy or mild, do you want yellow mustard or how about a different color? In fact you dont like mustard how about BBQ sauce in the same container or ketchup. The list of choices is endless. With apple you take what they give you unless you want to expand and jailbreak. Sure you can download apps but you cannot tweak the way they work as with a droid. Apple does simplistic very well. You have an operating system and it has apps. You open the app when you want to see something and then close it. With the droid you have an option to have widgets allowing you to see info on a home screen prior to opening the app. With sportacular this is a great feature seeing scores without having to go deep in the app. Jobs did a great job with the iPhone no doubt, but they have copied things from android as well. Just check out the notification screen on ios5. As for the battery I get about the same usage from both at this time. My Droid might be slightly less but not by much. They both are horrible in that area. The other thing Iphone has done very well is having Steve as the front man. If droid would have had such a figure we might see something very different today. Its marketing plain and simple. Both devices work well. Do you want simplistic (which works well for about 80% of the population) or do you want something you can tweak and customize to you own desire??
In closing Love my iphone, but largely in part due to the jailbroken features. Without jailbreaking I wonder if would cont to use.
Side note---My wife loves her new Iphone 4s but has no interest than opening and closing apps or modding it out. She enjoys using Siri but even stated my Galaxy seems to do the same thing.
