If you really want a smart "phone" and aren't going to do anything crazy with it just get an iphone.

I have a HTC thunderbolt (android) that I love, though needs the battery replaced. If you're not gonna do all that much with it, the iphone is probably fine.

If you suck with computers and stuff that can get completely fucked if you don't know wtf you are doing get the I phone.

If your more of an advanced user, get the android its a more powerful platform.

i've had nothing but android phones for the past few years, my best friend has an Iphone.

mine freezes, crashes, gets thrown down, cussed at, and i hate it.... i have to shut it down for a few minutes everyday randomly just to get internet to work again. (this goes for all the android phones i've had except the original mytouch i had, probably 10 or so android phones now.

his iphone never freezes, never crashes, he can watch youtube videos in my house, i cant even make a phone call in my house.

oh i need to switch to verizon.

If you want a slide out keyboard, Droid 4. If you are fine with only having a touch screen, Galaxy Nexus or S III.

I would stay away from apple products, they are too proprietary and many of their products are overpriced. It's a fashion phone.

Don't interpret this to mean that android is harder to use, it's not.

Service has alot to do with it, but unlike IPhones, most android phones you get from a service provider like sprint or the rest come with bloatware loaded with shitty code. You really have to know wtf you are doing with an android. Its like windows, it holds the largest marketshare when it comes to smartphone and tablets therefore it is attacked the hardest with bloatware.

Droid commando. I fell off the jetski several times last week with it in my pocket, falls off the table, gets thrown, etc. No protective cases works like a champ. All ports are o ring sealed.

My droid razr maxx blows my old X out of the water. Battery life lasts about 2 days and thats using the phone constantly talk, text and internet. The X barly lasted 14 hrs. My 4G internet service is faster than my At&t dsl. I vote Droid.

I have Verizon and use a thunderbolt. Mine is awesome. Rarely ever reboot it and rarely ever have problems. I have heard of one girl I work with had the exact same phone and she complained about it, but I think it was all of the weird apps she was trying to run. My only problem is battery life in 4g but I toggle it over to 3g and get one or two days in between charges. On 4g you will get around four hours BTW. My sister and a bunch of relatives have the iphones. They complain sometimes but not that much I would say. I just haven't seen any reason to switch happy with my current and not interested in switching.

I haven't had any problems with my iphones. Put it in an otterbox, and it has been run over by dually Chevrolet, and went to bottom of pool and bottom of sink full of water, and has not hurt it yet.
