I hate this phone with every fiber of my being. I've only had it 6 months.

What was wrong with it?
(besides the shitty camera & video software imo)

I went to the verizon store and played with both phones. The droid seems to scroll easier, has a better camera (8mp vs 5 mp), can be upgraded to larger than 16gb via a memory swap, and has a slightly larger screen. The iPhone on the other hand has a simple user interface.

I will say I wish my I4 had a better camera, but Im also kinda a snob in that area, and usually have my 12mp on my person as well as my phone, so I dont worry about it. If I MUST have a pic, it does well, depending on the subject.

The thing about cameras is, lens quality & focus ability is more important than the number of megapixels.

Samsung has a better reputation with cameras than the others.

QFT. An out of focus, grainy picture looks like crap no matter how good the resolution.

You might be able to make comparisons stock. Rooted its no contest.

What are you looking to use the phone for? If you're using it for media and basic stuff, I'd say go with iPhone. It sounds like you've already got all your music and stuff set up through iTunes and are familiar with the OS from using the iPod touch. If you don't have any issues with that, it'd be a smooth transition into the iPhone with little learning curve.

If you're looking for something different, an android phone will be nice. There are quite a few things that I think Android does that is far superior to Apple, but there's definitely more of a learning curve on the OS. The phone allows you to tweak more and gives you a little more freedom.

Really, it depends on what you're looking to get out of a phone at the moment. Like Chi said, play with whatever you're interested in and see which one appeals to you more. Each has positives and each has negatives. I'm on a Droid X, coming off a Droid. Each time I try to give the iPhone a fair shake, I come away disappointed.

If I can throw one more suggestion your way that will probably get panned by others: give a look to the HTC Trophy. I've been checking out some of the WP7 stuff recently and like what they're doing. The OS is smooth, I like the tile system, and the integration of XBox Live and Zune Pass really has me thinking long and hard about giving the new Windows Phone a shot when it's time to upgrade. Again, not a popular platform at the moment and easy to dismiss with the old shitty Windows Phone platforms, but the new stuff has been impressive so far.

Where do I start??? At this point my chief complaint is the fact that the phone shuts off and restarts itself whenever the hell it feels like it. I have more dropped calls from this bitch than I ever had with AT&T and more often than not if someone calls me they can't get through.

Yes, some of it is Sprint's problem but the phone sucks too.

The new OS for iPhone is gonna be awesome. Comes out this fall.
