wow wtf is with all of you retards?

1. "hurr iphone is just marketing" - really? This is a marketing forum. iPhone is meant to be a device that 'just works', and it does the job damn well.

2. Android OS as a whole, is highly unpolished in comparison, and is largely geared towards the same people who say things like "look at my linux box, it's far more customizable, all I have to do is spend 6 hours coding and bam! my windows now have a rounded corner instead of a square!"

Android OS feels like a grad student's unfinished thesis project. iOS feels like a finished product.

What a retarded argument.

Samsung Omnia 7, I moved from an iPhone 3G to this. Windows Phone 7 is going to be huge, they just made a deal with Nokia who are going to be dropping their own OS and using Windows Phone instead on all their new models. and lol @ android, they have dual core CPU's and all that shit happening now but the menus still lag when you scroll, what a joke. All I'm sayin' is consider it bro, don't count it out because it's Microsoft, they've done a fucken excellent job on this one.

Pros

- When I take photos it automatically uploads them to SkyDrive which is synced with my PC. The same with notes, it all syncs up with OneNote and it's all built into the OS.

- The simple UI is fantastic to use, I don't miss iOS in the slightest. Apps are designed to be panoramic, and you're just changing your viewpoint of it by sliding it left and right. In reality it is very intuitive and a pleasure to use. Best way to explain is with this picture below. On an iPhone each of those 3 sections would be totally separate and require button presses to switch between, which feels very disjointed after using a windows phone.

- Interface is designed to be black which goes perfect with the samoled screen.

- Zune is a nice piece of software, kills iTunes in almost every way especially aesthetics.

- It has a back button.


Cons

- App market is much smaller than android & iphone, but it is growing steadily. All the major apps are out there.

- True multitasking is missing, but the back button accomplishes a similar feat. If you leave an app to reply to an sms and then hit the back button, it brings you right back to where you left off. True multitasking (web OS style) is coming in an update in the near future.

- There's no black market of apps yet, there is a "jailbreak" that allows you to perform customisations, but no full on illegal app shit yet. Fortunately most paid apps allow trials.


Look at this gorgeous SAMOLED screen, the blacks are 100% perfectly black. Iphone's look washed out next to this, although the iPhone 4 does have a higher resolution screen.

I am also a fan of Windows Phone 7. I wonder if all the Android users understand Google's privacy policies as it relates to using Google Services especially as it relates to Android. Nothing is truley free and open you pay for it some way, whether you care or not that is up to you.

Android on track to becoming most popular mobile OS:
Marketing Data RoundUp: Android on track to becoming most popular mobile OS - MarketingVOX

So, it looks like its on the other way around - you are a rebel, pissing against the wind if your mobile runs something other than Android
 
If you're going to go Verizon and will have your phone for a year or two, I'd recommend getting something 4G capable. That means the HTC Thunderbolt... or wait a couple months and get the Droid Bionic.
 
both are good phones, i have the HTC Evo 4G and i love it, it has a huge screen, and its fast as hell. i would look into those
 
I'm a droid guy... however i will say, dont go crazy installing apps. At one point my battery was lasting all of 5 hours. Reset the phone to factory settings, now i get about 1.5 days. But then again, the advantage of the droid is all the sweet apps available... iphone has the same problem as well from what i hear.

There's an app to control your battery. Makes a huge difference.
