They are close, but the iphone win's. Even with a quad core phone or the dual core that is over clocked. Like I said it is a matter of pref. Big deal the plug is diff, no diff then when a new plug was added years ago, to the micro usb.. I use blue tooth when I do not have my ipod hooked up. You guys are nickle dime-n stuff now. I am not a apple nut swinger. I have just made a switch to them for the past 3 phones because of how well they worked with my personal use, ease of it. I still use a windows based PC and such. But the phone itself is the top of the food chain. You use your phone, are happy with larger frame, screen, as you use it alot at home, yada yada. I pref to use 1 hand when doing simple functions. Again it is pref. I don't like the idea of hauling around a tablet in my pocket.

I gotta admit, I'm laughing my *** off about these ice cream sandwich and jelly bean OS names. Never knew they used those names, sounds like they're trying to market it to some 7-10 year old kids. Just sayin...

Just for the record, I was "anti-iPhone" until just over a year ago when my 3 year old blackberry died. When I went looking at new smart phones, 4 of the 5 new blackberry phones in the 2 stores I visited wouldn't work. So I compared the iPhone 4 to the Samsung/android offering. I chose the iPhone 4 because it was faster loading and easier to navigate. The sales guy was pushing me towards the Samsung as if he was getting a bonus for selling them or something, but the iPhone performed and was easier for my simple mind to understand. I'm not a "techie".

I have found this with quite a few people. Apple lovers love simple, no options do what Apple tells you is how to do it.

I like the Android cause I like to tweak things and have options

I have options when I'm tuning your truck.....

Hahaha, j/k. I just want a phone that works well, and fast, without having to **** with it. I have to tweak enough things all day long as it is.

Google it I do not know of any specific ones off hand, but it needs to be done properly or you can fubar the phone. Sucks to cuz you can't download IOS6 for the 3gs. It is pretty snazzy.

Love my JB iPhone, had 2 droids, did not like. Wife has one of the new droids and now wishes she would have went apple. Between family, friends, an co workers it's came to my attention most, not all, but most people what talk crap about apple products have never owned one.
