This is the classic Mac vs PC argument. Nothing more, nothing less. Macs are less "customizable" and many want to "mess with their PC". If that is your liking, go with any one of the many flavors of Android. App market is not as mature. Performance across phones for various makers/flavors of Android and carriers differ.

Summary

iPhone

• Apple is consistent in hardware/software/performance - known quantity
• All works as designed
• Frequent updates
• Unmatched app choices
• Design/feature leader
• Superior voice recognition
• Slightly smaller form factor (plus or minus depending on user)
• higher initial cost

Android

• More versions, different form factors
• More phone choices
• Less apps
• More frequent updates
• Less homogeneity in performance/features
• Lower cost

If you like messing with your phone or upgrading often or if you need a different size or keyboard, Android. If you want something that just works, has superior customer service and app choices and value, Apple iPhone.

Can't beat that post. Totally sums it up. I don't like iTunes, but I love my 2nd gen iPod Touch. I'd really like to walk away from Apple's iTunes when I upgrade to a smartphone. And I am cleary a "PC" person. But...

If someone held a gun to my head this instant and said, "BUY A SMARTPHONE NOW OR NEVER!" I'd go get an iPhone. There's not enough time in the day to review all the Android phones. And a new one comes out ever other day!!! The older I get, the more simple I want things. Getting an iPhone would be like buying a hi-po car that doesn't dare beg you to mod it. Just turn the key and drive. Never pop the hood. An right Android will be like getting a car I want to mod to make is faster. LOL
