I like the iPhone and its OS. I went with Android this time around because I also like Google and have a lot of my daily rituals revolve around Google products, such as GMail, Reader, Wave, etc.
As far as the Android OS goes, I have nothing to compare it to. People on here are coming from Blackberries and say they now realize how bad BB is. I've just seen people use theirs and since Crackberry is as big a scene as Android, they gotta be doing something right.
When the iPhone comes to VZW, I will definitely give it some thought. I don't like the idea of an internal battery, though. It seems like battery pulls if the phone freezes would be a headache. Or something similar to battery pulls would be.
Still, this new iPhone is supposed to have multitasking and a bunch of other additions, which, I assume will be a response to Android's recent success.
All-in-all, it's hard to deny how great the iPhone is. Which is better? That's subjective and nothing's perfect. It still has the better app-support as developers jumped on the iPhone scene since it was the first to really make smartphones go mainstream, and many companies make apps for the iPhone, but not yet for Android.
I don't care how fast Android is expanding, the iPhone still has a chokehold on the smartphone game. While it's hard to extrapolate two years from now (taking into consideration the iPhone comes out later this summer and you get a two-year contract) how well the iPhone is doing relative to others, I think everyone should stop and think for a moment what it is they really have against Apple and the iPhone.
It seems cool to hate on the iPhone, which is fine, as long as it's your opinion and you've tried it and experienced it. Seeing as most people on this forum have a hard time searching for the instructions to installing a leak, let alone actually doing it, I just assume, and I'm making up this statistic, that 95% of those that bash the iPhone have no idea what it's all about.
If you're going to be a fanboy/fangirl, it's best you know your stuff before someone asks you a question about it, thus bringing your metaphorical pants down to about the knee-level, but not lower that mid-calf.
