The following is a post I made on MacRumors, and I figured to get both sides of the story I would post here too. That's not to say the people who have responded have been very biased. It's been kind of contrary to that. A few have suggested the MAXX, while others the iPhone....so here it goes:
So I currently have $670 on a gift card with Verizon (don't ask why or how), and so I decided I would buy a phone at Verizon. I figured that since their 3G is supposedly garbage in comparison to AT&T's, I'd go with an LTE phone so I got the MAXX. Well I'm in my 14 day trial period on what is about to be day 5 and while I think the Droid is cool, I kinda want the good ol' iPhone but I can't make up my mind about what to get. Here's some of the reasoning I have.
For keeping RAZR MAXX:
It's a nice change from the iOS that I'm used to with previous iDevices & my iPad
ICS is pretty cool on it and improves the browser greatly
LTE is freakin' amazing
To not keep it:
It's Android and I'm not used to it and don't see what's so great about it (despite previous comments)
It's rooted but I don't see what good it is besides ICS whereas jailbreaking is awesome
Market....I mean "Play" kinda sucks IMO
For iPhone:
Good ol' iOS
Siri, camera
App Store (and my apps)
Against iPhone:
I have an LTE phone in my posession
the 3G sucks (I think?)
I already have an iOS device (my iPad)
One of the deciding factors will be whether or not the Verizon store by me has any iPhones with 5.0.1 on it so I can jailbreak....if it's even possible to find that out...
So....yeah.....input please?
