My wife and are are hoping to update phones soon. I am going to go with Android. We are on AT&T, so iPhone is a possibility too.
My wife currently is on a WinMo device (LG Incite), and it has been stable, but more difficult than she really is comfortable with.
She wants to see what I settle on with Android, and wants to consider same, but also would be happy with iPhone.
Her main use of the phone will be:
But of course, Android is still pretty fresh. I don't want to encourage her to Android if it is going to be an experience of lockups, reboots and frustration. Of course enven needing to do that once a week will result in frustration to her.
My thoughts are that if we are careful to only install a small number of Apps that have good feedback will be the best method to assure that.
What's your thoughts and experience on this?

- Phone use (of course)
- Blue Tooth to car
- Google sync to calendar, hers in particluar, and maybe mine too

For her that would be ease of finding and useing:
- Contacts
- Voice capaibility similar to
Call Bob at home, or
CAll Bob on Mobile - Messaging (Not using messaging now, but may be doing so on next phone, some)
- Blue Tooth on/off
- Ease of input (onscreen keyboard)
- Seeing if there are voice mails waiting, messages, etc
