Q. I am looking for a prepaid phone and I am not sure what the difference is between Android 4.0-4.2 and Android 2.0-2.3. Is getting on or the other any better of a deal? Can I upgrade my phone to the newest Android model? Thanks!
A. The 4.0's are the latest updated androids
The 2.0's are the first androids or the first software . I recommend the 4.0s since it's faster and upgraded . If you get the 2.0's you will come across a lot of apps on the play store or android market that you can't use since your phone has an old version of android.

iPhone 4 vs. Android vs. Windows Phone 7?
Q. I own an iPhone 3G (8G) but I have already filled up the memory, making it VERY laggy and crashes all the time. I've been looking for a new smartphone with more flexibility than what Apple is allowing me, as far as freeware, customization, and all that goes, so I've really looked into Android. Nevertheless, I have come quite used to my iPhone and all of it's features, so the new phone must deliver, if not, should i just settle for an iPhone 4? (please take in consideration and specify the hardware you are talking about besides the OS!)
A. Anybody who tells you he's had a Windows Phone has not had a Windows Phone 7, because it's only been out for one month! Similarly, Android phones have come a long way in the last year. The Android phones of a year ago are slow and buggy compared to newer phones like the Droid X, Droid Incredible, myTouch 4G, or Samsung Galaxy phones.
For my money, I'll take Android over iPhone 100 times out of 100. Not only do you have your choice of carriers and form factors (big, small, slide, touch, bar...), you also get much more flexibility and customizability than iPhone, plus lots of functionality you don't get in the iPhone. This includes bigger, brighter screens and cameras, HD video, 4G data speeds, the ability to view flash websites, video chat that's not limited to wifi and specific devices, free turn-by-turn voice navigation, the ability to use your phone as a WiFi hotspot, and huge libraries of widgets which are hard to describe but make your phone so much more useful. Plus unlike the tight-fisted Apple regime, Android manufacturers allow retailers to discount the phones, so you can get outrageously good deals like we've seen this Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, where a lot of the latest phones can be had for free.
My specific recommendations would depend on the carrier. For Verizon ,the Droid Incredible is still my favorite. For AT&T, it's the Samsung Captivate. For Sprint, it's either the EVO or Epic, and for T-Mobile it's the myTouch 4G (though the Vibrant and G2 are also wonderful).
Check out authorized super-dealer Wirefly.com and you'll see a lot of these phones are free or close to free with free activation this weekend. That's called competition. Meanwhile, the iPhone is still tightly restricting distribution and pricing. Bravo to Apple for maintaining its high profit margins, but it's not customer-friendly.
