Q. Im getting a new phone soon and i was wondering if Iphone (iOS) software or Android software was better for me. I mainly use my phone for texting, listening to music, (i know android has free music which is nice) and using apps. My big pet peeve is having a delayed response from the touchscreen or having bad call quality so if you know anything about either systems please tell me.
oh and i have AT&T if that matters; its between the Motorolla Atrix and the Iphone 3gs right now
idk much about the windows phones but if you think theyre the best, please explain.
thanks(:

A. any top android phone,

I prefer android over apple for the reason that its open-source, that means that the majority of the apps are free, and you get more revolutionary and cutting edge apps. And do things are even only barely available on a jail broken iphone
the android market already has 250000 apps- closing in on apple 500000, some say it will surpass it before the year is over. Also any popular iphone game or game adaptation can be found in the android market for free.
another great thing about android as that if you dont like something (keyboard, homescreen, etc.) it can easily be swapped out with jail-breaking, unlike the iphones one-size-fits-all approach.
Security
both Iphone and android offer equal security, though they have different means of doing it.
iphone, verifies all the apps so you can�t get a virus through an app, but the rest of the phone is semi-vulnerable.
Android does not check the apps, but the apps are run in a isolated way, as to not affect the system in event of a virus.
so both phones are equally prone to viruses (and if this a big deal for you, android has a antivirus app, which iphone does not)
other features only on android
turn-by-turn GPS
better and larger screen
no need to connect to computer to sync
heres a big one, add a sd card
better calls
more customizable
more powerful hardware
flash support, watch ALL the online videos
apple lovers that say that the iphone is made of better quality material? They don�t realize that Samsung, an android phone maker supply�s the screen, processor and memory for apple devices, so android has the advantage here.
The iphone is pretty, but not durable, drop it once- it breaks, all that glass around it? That was honestly a mistake. Android manufactures clearly saw that, and decided to do with something a little more durable.
Also apple never invents anything, all they do is steal old technology, give it a fresh coat of paint and mass advertise it as �magical� and �innovating�, thus fooling the mass of the population into believing that apple offers cutting edge technology, that in fact has been around for quite a few years.
Also if you�ve seen apples 2011 presentation, they blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android
1. Notification bar
2. Twitter integration
3. No need to connect to PC to sync
4. Launch apps from lock screen
5. Tabbed browsing
according to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5. It would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6, and the sad part is that apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycat�

How can I update my android phone?
Q. I have an AT&T unlocked phone (Samsung INFUSE 4G) with Simple Mobile. Each time I go to settings -> Software update, it says that the software is up to date, but I have 2.2.1
It has: Build number: FROYO.UCKH1 if is any help.

A. Many Android phones with older versions of Android will never get updated. Whether or not a phone gets updated depends on whether the phone company (AT&T) and the phone's manufacturer (Samsung) think it's worth doing. Usually a new phone model will get updates for maybe a year after it's first available, but after that it may not.
However, even if there is no official update, you might still be able to update your phone anyway, but only if someone has made a newer unofficial version of Android available for your specific phone... and your phone is rooted (because you can't install an unofficial update unless your phone is rooted).
Here are instructions for rooting your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428411
And once you've done that, here's a list of other unofficial Android versions you can install: http://alchemistar.blogspot.com/2011/06/samsung-infuse-4g-custom-rom-list.html
P.S. Rooting and updating on your own is a tricky technical process and things can sometimes go wrong if you don't know what you're doing, leaving your phone in an unusable state.
