There are things I like about it and things I liked better about the iPhone. My iPhone 3GS was jailbroken but here are the things I like better about each one:
iPhone:
1. no keyboard, better physical design
2. Apps, android is catching up and most the apps I used on my iPhone are available on my Droid now, but most of the apps were better on the iPhone with a few exceptions
3. Games, android does not even compare
4. Multimedia - I liked being able to rent movies or buy tv shows on iTunes, the Droid media player sucks but I mostly use slacker so that doesn't really bother me
5. My calendar was on my lockscreen, I have to unlock my Droid to see my calendar
6. App store, much easier to browse and find new apps on iPhone
7. Customization - I used bosspaper, if you weren't jailbroken you won't miss it, but it was great
8. Push notifications - the time I really miss them is during football season
Droid:
1. Google navigation - I tried all the navigation apps on iPhone and so far I like google maps navigation better than any of them and its free on the Droid
2. Slacker is better on the Droid because I can cache music for when I don't have a signal, on a flight, etc
3. Verizon - the biggest advantage
4. Widgets - I use a couple, not really a big deal, but nice to have
5. Contact syncing - love the integration with gmail and facebook contacts
6. Google voice - I use it for voicemail, it takes visual voicemail to the next level and types out the voicemail so you can listen to it or read it, very nice
7. Flash for the camera is nice
If your iPhone wasn't jailbroken then multitasking apps is a HUGE advantage for the Droid, customization is another big one. I was already doing these on my iPhone though.
After I upgrade to the Nexus 1 on verizon I don't think I will miss my iPhone nearly as much, unless apple really delivers on their promise and this June there is an "A+ upgrade" to the iPhone.
