Have you used Android yet? That might seal the deal for you.

The advantages for me are:
-cheap to own vs. a Verizon or AT&T smartphone
-future plans, it's exciting to be a part of something new and growing
-OS is impressive
-the "cloud"
-rooting- hacking your Android phone to do anything
-Android community

The disadvantages for me are:
-hardware is not as good as software, although many would disagree here.
-not mature yet
-not as many apps as phone-who-must-not-be-named

If you are an open source advocate who hates Apple and likes to hack your phone and tinker it to just the way you want it, go with Android.

Or if you want a good deal on your cell phone bill.

I'm like you but in the end I decided not to get an Android phone this time around. I've got my eye on it, so for my next phone I'll seriously consider Android.
