I'm about due for a new phone and I want to upgrade to a smartphone but I'm not sure if I want to go with an iPhone or one with the Android opersting system.

My brother recommends the iPhone, but I was wondering what you might recommend.

Thanks!  :)

The iPhone is a status symbol.  It is a good phone, but Apple puts all their marketing behind just that one phone, whereas Android markets many different phones.  The Samsung Galaxy S II, Galaxy S Note and Galaxy S III are all selling so well, Samsung is beating Apple as the leader in SmartPhones.  Many of the paid apps you will find in the iOS App Store, you can find for free in the Google Play Store (formerly known as the Android Market)

I have a droid and I like it.  I think the biggest difference between it and the iPhone is the price...

you can have my iPhone after you pry it outta my cold, dead hand!  ;D

If you own a Mac, run iOS. You're probably already hooked into Apple's ecosystem.

If you don't, run Android. Much more developer-friendly. You can even write your own apps, and it won't cost you a penny.

Wish I could karma you again  ;D

I love my iPhone and they (3) all have lasted (actually they still work, as we just put one back in service for my daughters as they are staying at home alone more and more, and we do not have a home phone).  I have the first one (my daughter uses to listen to music that is on it) and the 3rd generation (which we just put back in commission) and now 4 (but not 4s with sirie).  The first one was used by me for 2 years, then my husband took it and used when I bought the 3rd.  We kept those for 2 years and now we both have the 4,  I love it.  But I will say I have little experience with droid. 

Well, sh!t.

Looks like I HAVE to get an iPhone now.  :-\\

Apple vs Samsung Lawsuit.

Apple was just jealous that Samsung was championing the smartphone sales.

I'm staying a friend who has a droid. She gets lots of notifications or texts.
Every few minutes her phone announces itself in an annoying way. "DROID"
What is tgat about. Are droid owners so dumb they need to constantly be reminded what phone they own?

Is it subliminal marketing? Maybe they're trying to convert all us iPhone people. Too bad voice is so annoying. It will never work on me  :P

THANK YOU!  I have thought that soooooo many times!  Talk about annoying in school, I want to give an immediate detention to any student who owns a Droid and allows it to make the obnoxious "droooooidddd" sound.  UGH!

and that is really what it sounds like....

The phone will say "drooooiiid" in it's obnoxious semi robotic voice.  And it seems to say it all the time.  When it goes to sleep, when you wake it up, etc....  SOOOO obnoxious.  Not sure if you can turn it off, I figure you can, but sooo many have it on and I do not understand why.

I'm thinking you can since I had no clue what the hell you guys were talking about.  I don't even think mine did that before I set my preferences.

Then I am even more pissed with the obnoxious people who allow it! >:(

Mine's more obnoxious now: Doctor Who soundbite for message notifications and "Never Gonna Give You Up" as my ringtone. :D

Obnoxious? That is not being obnoxious! This is being obnoxious!

I'm just gonna link this here,
I'm just gonna download those,
Then I'm gonna upload them,
To my pho-one...

(I will neither confirm nor deny that my phone quietly and discreetly whispers "yay" every time I receive email.)

I'm currently an Android user, I had the original iPhone when it first came out. It was really ahead of it's time and completely changed the market, but it seems stale to me now. It seems like Apple keeps releasing a slightly updated version of the same thing every year. The iPhone still has certain advantages mainly that it's very simple, very stable, and very polished, but it lacks flexibility and the experience is basically the same as it was back in 2007. Apple has all sorts of weird rules about what apps can do and controls it with an iron fist, you can't even set a different browser as default for example.

Where's Braun when you need 'em?

I finally got my new phone today. I went with a Motorola Droid RAZR M, and after I got home and messed with for only a few minutes I found myself saying, "Holy crap...this is Jetson's sh!t!"  ;D

Oh, and snoz? Might want to brace yourself, I'm getting back on SongPop.  ;)

Congrats on the phone...

I don't know about the droid but I was able to save inthe00ze to my phone. It looks like an app/works like an app. Takes me directly to new replies to my post page.
