Android or iPhone?


I'm comfortable with Android but have been considering a switch.

Right now I have a Motorola Atrix II which is one of the best androids out there, in my opinion. I'd consider switching to an iPhone because everybody has one and I feel left out.

The screen size of iPhone is too small, it has to be atleast 3.5 inch for me.

Hello,
Can I ask the reason why you are considering a switch so we can prescribe you the correct medication. Ok, I am kidding there but still, can I ask why you are thinking about switching to iOS? Most problems with Android can be solved very easily, unlike iOS which requires jailbreaking/hackery.

Have you seen sonys new range??

also, i have a sony xperia s, i personally prefer android over ios also, if you ever buy apps, there so much cheap on android then ios...

im happy with android, and as they keep updating it, i have no reason to switch, i doubt i ever would as it stands at the moment, plus, the screen on an iphone is so much smaller then the phone i have now, but that all comes down to what you like, some people rather small screens, and some rather bigger screens, i guess that would come down to what your going to use the phone for?...

I'm really not a fan of iOS (I have an iPad) and I prefer android 100%.
I rather use my Sony Xperia S than my iPad.

So I would stay with android.

I have a conspiracy theory. Crapple wants to keep them small so their bots will buy more iPads.

It is supposed to get a bit taller, not any wider (I assume for 1080p video). I personally cant use less then a 4.2 inch screen. I am really liking my 4.7 inch EVO 4G LTE

I am not really a huge fan of Sony's lines of phones. They lock them down and in focus more on the external design vs internals. The only Sony Android Product I own is the SmartWatch, would never get a Sony phone

Why would you want to downgrade to an iPhail?

Same for you. And you aren't alone, you're the trendsetter.

Oh yeah, but I wanted to mean at least 4 inch. I bought my HTC Incredible last year which is 4 inch. When compared to iPhone I liked the bigger screen.

Get both. I have an iPhone 4S, HTC Sensation, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3. End up using the Galaxy Nexus most of the time. While the others all have specific advantages the Nexus works best for me as an allround daily driver.
