Okay, I'm going to try my absolute best to not make this a iPhone vs. Android flame fest, I'm hoping the thread will close if it comes to that. Anyways.
I've been using a iPhone for years and while its a great device I think I'm getting a little bored and thinking of doing a deep dive into Android. I have gotten to demo the Incredible and Droid X a year ago (I'm a verizon employee) and they seemed like pretty solid devices, I mostly just use my phone for everyday phone tasks and lots of web browsing.
I like my iPhone because my car has a built in iPod connector, but if I got a android phone i'd use one of my old iPods for music instead. I also have built in GPS in my car, so Android nav wouldn't help me much either.
But I like the idea of things like Swype, 4G, bigger screen, more customization and widgets. I'm open enough to root my phone or learn about it, that also seems intriguing.
I do like the battery life and ease of use, and applications it has. They seem very professionally done where as Android apps i've been told seem like "ports" .. I don't know if thats true or not.
I've heard people say if you're tech savvy a Android is more fun to have because you can do more with it. It just seems like I've hit a ceiling on the iPhone and I can't do much more on it then what is offered. Although it does everything really great. I guess maybe I should wait for iOS5 / iPhone 5 and then make a decision, but I'm seeing if you guys have any input that would sway me to Android. I would get the Bionic, the phone seems extremely attractive to me.
