I've had the original Motorola Droid with Verizon for about a year and a half now, and I think I'll probably be passing my Droid onto my wife (she currently uses a work supplied Motorola Razor) and jumping ship from the Droid platform to the new iPhone. I'm not as tech-savvy as I once was, and my droid has been ok, but I think I'm ready to try an iPhone. I already have 4 or 5 iPods and have most of my music on iTunes.

You are letting AT&T off too lightly when you say their service sucks. I live in a "snooty" suburb of Houston with almost 100,000 residents and saying the service sucks there would be a compliment. Conversely we have a cabin in a town of 5500 in Colorado and AT&T coverage there is great. Go figure

Some examples they demonstrated in the press conference.

You ask your phone, " do I need a rain coat today?" the phone replies "it sure looks like rain today" and then shows the weather screen.

They've also integrated it with yelp. He asked the phone, "find me a Greek restaurant in palo alto." the phone replies, "I've located 14 Greek restaurants, 5 are in palo alto, I've sorted them by rating."

I think this feature will be the selling point of the 4S.
I am going to upgrade ASAP for this feature and ask my phone "When will I get my TracKey?!"

I'll blame it on AT&T's crappy coverage

Andriod is faster, tons of mod capabilities, and Apple restricts what you can do with the device too much... I had to jailbreak my iPhone so I could customize my settings and run third party apps. Android does all that on factory firmware.

And as stated at the first. Android is faster

Snooty people don't like looking at cell phone towers.

I don't know why android phones you're using. All the ones I've used are terribly slow opening and running apps and don't even get me started on web browsing and battery life.

Not all people want customizability like you mentioned. Most people want a phone that works correctly and isn't out dated in a month while having good dependability and thousands of apps. (without advertisements)

HTC EVO 4g. 1ghz processor. And an extended 3500mah battery that makes the phone last all day. Best part that I use daily is the torque app with my elm scan Bluetooth device. Makes this combo amaizing. Apple apps will not allow anything other than WiFi devices which cost 3x's the Bluetooth devices.

And I was only stating why android was better. Some users will not completely use both OS's too their full abilities... I like to try though

I think 4g may be faster but not the phone. I own a samsung galaxy tab and an ipad2. The iPad kills the galaxy and android app market sucks. Apple products do what I need them to do. I don't care what I can hack them up and make them do, they get the job done right out of the box.

True. They probably have their nannies drive outside of the subdivision where the coverage is better and pick up their voice mail for them.
