Q. I'm not a programmer or a business man who needs it for anything of great importance. I'm looking for a phone on which i can keep my music, surf the net, use social networking and a range of other things. I've heard lots about the android phones and how they may potentially be better than the iphone, but based on what i need i really dont know the difference between the two
A. Personally, I would choose an Android phone any day because on the iPhone:
-cant take out the battery
-no removable memory
-only Apple-approved apps
-STILL no true multi-tasking like Android
-cant customize your phone AT ALL
-no Flash support
-cant install apps from your computer
-no widgets
-no free GPS navigation
-no mobile hotspot
-no free wireless music downloads
-no ringback tones
-no refunds for paid apps
-all file syncing MUST be done through iTunes (pictures, etc.)
-Android phones have more memory storage
-most Android phones have better cameras
-no standard USB cable like all other phones
-the new iPhone has horrible antenna issues
-instant Android OTA software updates- don�t have to go through iTunes like iPhone
-can�t get service in an ATT store- have to find an Apple store
-works on ATTs horrible network
-no unlimited data
-tethering comes out of your data plan instead of being separate
Android is miles ahead of Apple- with the new 4.0 software, Apple is only now letting people do things that Android can, like add folders to their home screen, because God forbid that anyone should be able to do that on their cell phone!! And even in 4 years, they haven�t been able to give the iPhone true multi-tasking capabilities, like Android. It took them 4 years just to put a flash on the camera!! By the time Apple puts out a new iPhone, there�s a better Android phone out 4 months later. Bottom line: they will always be trailing Android.
Android is already selling more phones than Apple, and it�s been out half the time that the iPhone has. By fall, the Market will have over 100,000 apps, which is more than the Apple Store had at its 2-year mark. Android�s open-source nature will always be more appealing to developers and phone manufacturers because they can market to every carrier, and dozens of phones, instead of 1 carrier and 1 phone. The possibilities are literally endless as far as Android is concerned, because ANYONE can make an app to do ANYTHING on the phone. With Apple, they have to approve every single app that goes into the Store. They even rejected an app because it said the word Android in it- how far do you really think they�re gonna go with that kind of closed-minded thinking?? I want to decide what goes on my phone, not the other way around..

Should I get an android phone or iPhone 4?
Q. I don't know what to pick
A. If your looking for an iPhone, the newest is the iPhone4S. It is twice as fast, with a better camera, more RAM, and Siri.
Androids excel at personalization. They let the user do nearly whatever they want to. You can change the default keyboard, the lockscreen (so that you can just tap, or get rid of the lockscreen altogether), there are widgets (larger app icons that auto-update), and "live" (interactive, moving) backgrounds. More apps are also free for android (70% of all apps), and there are a ton of different models. Some have huge screens (5.3"), some have tiny screens (3"), some have duel cores, some have single cores. Some are ultra thin, some are bricks.
For a top-level android device, cost-wise, it will cost you almost as much as the latest iPhone model. iPhones are better devices for mobile gaming, as they have the most apps, with much better quality apps (because android apps need to worth for even the low-end phones). The downside to this, is that only 1/4 of all iPhone apps are free, and many of those are demo apps. The iPhone is highly secure, whileas Android's open source lets hackers and (inexperienced developers) install viruses, or somehow damage your phone.
Overall, the iPhone is a better mobile gaming system, and android gets sh*t done. Many androids have better battery life, and functionality (less dropped calls, pre-installed Google docs, gmail, maps, etc). Some of the best android phones out there are: Galaxy S 2, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx, Rezound.
