Ah thought of another question, is the 16 GB phone enough memory in most folks opinion? Can you add to it or do you have to get the phone that comes with the higher storage space?

It's enough memory for me. I have over 1200 songs, 29 videos and over 650 pictures on my phone. I have 2.2 GB available still.

 

You can not add more. You'd have to upgrade to a different phone.

Sounds like plenty for me as well, thanks HB.

Which you will like kinda depends on how you like to use your phone. Apple products are fairly "locked" in that you cannot up upgrade much over time, IE if you battery is going bad, get a new off a discount online retailer, I don't believe you can upgrade you MicroSD card either. Also, the IPhone software is not very customizable. So if you are the type of who just wants to buy a phone and use as it is, the IPhone is great for you. On the other hand, if you are the type where when you pull a PC or something else out of the box and the first thing you want to do is start customizing it to your like, the IPhone may drive you nuts. You would probably prefer Android. Andriod is an open software which allows much more customization. If you REALLY want to make you Droid customizable, you can "root" your phone but do some research online first to do so because along with the freedom rooting your phone allows, it does remove some of the protections an unrooted Droid has so you will want to download a root protector app and an app call "Safe Strap". One really nice thing about a rooted Android is if you root you Android, you can download Android Wifi Tether and make your Droid a wifi hot spot without paying the exorbitant fees Verizon or others charge. This can only be done if you root your Droid.

I fought the urge to come to ATT and get the iPhone for as long as I could, then a couple years ago I finally broke down and got one. Due for an upgrade and without question will get another one, can't beat em!

So basically the same thing as jail breaking an iPhone?

Got a Galaxy S2 myself but when my upgrade comes in January I myself will be joining the "in" crowd for the iPhone.

Outside of a couple of you it seems like overwhelming praise for the Iphone over the Droid. Thanks.

 

And I am definitely a buy it and use it like it was meant to be used vs. trying to customize everything.

An iPhone can be jail broken which opens it up to a lot more customization. If that is what you are into.

If you go iPhone, get the iPhone 5. I wouldn't settle for the 4s.

I find that my Droids seem to be far less problematic and much more stable than many of my friend's iPhones. Some of my friends are at the Apple store or AT&T quite frequently and frustrated. I have never had issues with any of my Droids in the 5 or 6 years I have been on the platform. The phones are fast. There's plenty of storage for my needs. Siri sounds fun but I can't see it being life changing enough to switch to Apple. I can use my voice to text feature on my Droids to answer texts, emails and post to Facebook. To me, comparatively speaking, Droids are a better value, and customization is a much easier and less expensive process than with iPhone. Just my opinion, though, and obviously the minority.

Myself and family included have gone through 7 iPhones without any issues that weren't brought on by carelessness with the phone. Not saying that is the case with your iPhone friends, RM, just saying that I am around a large percentage of people at work and home who have iPhones and I don't know of anyone who has had any issues with an unstable phone. Sounds like isolated incidents.

Oh, it could be. But, believe it or not, there is a small contingency of us Droid-heads who love our Droids as much as you love your iPhones.

I've had an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4. I've never had any issues with mine.

 

I don't know anyone who has a droid to compare it to, but since I've never had an issue there's nothing to compare.

 

As for the iPhones customization, as far as I know it is $free.99 to jailbreak them. So not sure what you are talking about regarding it being expensive.
