Hello is android better then iPhone to go ahead in future.
I would advise people to stay away from the following US Android devices:
Droid Eris
Droid 2
Fascinate
Aria
While I certainly understand the Moment with all the problems it has had, I'm not sure I understand the rest of your list.
The Eris may be a little older than some of the others, but it is a rock solid device.
The Droid2, just came out and offers everything the Droid does, plus more.
The Fascinate is Verizon's version of the Galaxy S, just like the Vibrant and Captivate.
The Aria is a smaller version of the Eris for At&t although I have heard that they restricted it quite a bit.
BTW, I am moving this over to the Android lounge as it really isn't an application discussion.
There is no best. It's up to the individual to decide for themselves.
The Droid Eris is an outdated device. It won't give new users (what I would consider) a satisfactory user experience.
The Droid 2 has some pretty glaring signal issues that have yet to be resolved.
The Fascinate's embedded Bing search issue is not something users should have to put up with. It will confuse most users looking to break into Android.
The Galaxy S devices still have a few software issues (mainly the GPS issue) that prevent what I'd consider a satisfactory experience. The Epic 4G seems to have enough of those issues resolved to give the user a satisfactory experience. Once an official fix is out, I will start recommending the entire Galaxy S line. I'm also still wary of Samsung and their software update track record (ie: cutting off the Samsung Moment at Android 2.1 even though it was released in Nov of 2009) and will let people know not to expect more than 2 software updates from Samsung.
Like you've said, the Aria is pretty locked down compared to other Android devices. It's not worth $129.99 and the hassle of AT&T's horrible plans and generally sub-par network. I would sooner advise someone (who doesn't want to drop $200+ on a phone) to spend $150 on a certified pre-owned Verizon/Motorola Droid X or Droid Incredible (found on Verizon's website).
Just my two cents.
PS - I was also surprised to see this in the Apps forum but thought I should weigh in on it none the less.
I guess it all depends on the user. Love my Eris and I wish HTC would make more like it.
The Eris isn't a phone I'd recommend to new users or upgrades.
Verizon sold a new Droid Eris to friend of mine 3-4 weeks ago for $150 subbed. He was a little annoyed with the Eris' small screen among other things. I strongly urged him to take it back and told him I'd pay the extra $50 for him to upgrade to a Droid X or Droid Incredible instead. He traded up to a Droid X and was blown away. Major difference.
The Eris was a trooper. I've even heard rumors that Disney will be using re purposed Eris' as digital guides. Verizon did the right thing by decommissioning it though. It really isn't the best way to show off Android in 2010.
But I'd definitely recommend a Droid Eris over an iPhone 3G running iOS4!!
I didn't think AT&T decided to butt f%&k the Aria as bad as they did the Backflip... I was actually going to recommend that one to my friend who's stuck on AT&T (he has some old breaking-apart palm treo thing). He loves my Evo (three times more, now that it's rooted and runs at a full 60fps), but just doesn't like the big honkin' phone itself. He tested out an Aria at our local AT&T store and said he liked it because of it's size.... anybody that has one on here... how bad does it lag? I know it's essentially (as OTD said) a re-packaged Eris in a smaller shell, but does that reduced screen resolution help it out any, or does it still lag like no other device has before it?
Also, as far as it's being locked down... is side-loading apps still cut off, and is the marketplace still half-ruined?
Impossible to say without knowing your particular needs/wants. Best is always subjective.Hello is android better then iohone to go ahead in future.
If you want a reliable PHONE, you must go Android. The iPhone is an infamously bad phone.
I'm not sure what you mean when you talk about a better experience vs a more powerful one. I agree with you that the way the iPhone integrates with iTunes is something that can't be duplicated with Android.If you're married to the Apple logo, Apple ecosystem, and/or iTunes... iPhone gives you a better experience while Android will give you a more powerful one (which requires a little bit of reading and a few extra apps).
Don't agree. I've got an iTouch and there are a lot of quality apps on the iTunes market for free. You'll probably see more of them now that iAds is more available. I don't know that you can get quality apps anywhere for free though.If you don't want to spend a ton of money on apps, go Android.
Depends on what features you want. iPhone kicks Androids ass in some features and gets it's ass kicked in others.If you want the best bang-for-buck mobile experience, Android wins. It offers more features for your money.
Somewhat of a specious argument. You get 4G in about a dozen areas across the country. (Yes, I'm exaggerating, but not by much.) It's not wide spread and I don't think it should factor into a decision at all unless you happen to be in a 4G area (which most people aren't).If you want 4G (Sprint) or 4G speeds (T-mobile), get yourself an Android.
I wouldn't say without hassles. You still have to set up a plan with your carrier depending on the device. There are still hassles, just not as many.If you want to use your phone as a hotspot/tethered device without hassles, go Android.

...you can't make your iphone look like anything else.
And I'm glad for this, I hate iTunes, and now that I have my DX and retired my iPhone, I am so happy that I may never have to use iTunes again!
