    If you have to take it in for service, just put your stock (dead) battery in there first. :)

    Android does a lot more things than the iphone/ios. Iphone didn't even had voice recognition until the 4s. They're so greety they won't even put expandable memory on their phones( ie sd cards).
    Phones i've owned:
    Nokia->g1(android)->HD2 ( windows )-> iphone 3s-> Nexus s(android) -> Galaxy note(android)

    It took until late 2011 for you to be able to tether your iPhone to your computer without jailbreaking it.

    Then again, both Google and Apple are taking huge craps on it's userbase with the BS tracking they are both doing, Google needs to have the government cut their nads off for their lastest stunt. I didn't buy a phone that as of March 1, will upload anything I am doing on it to Google so they can sell ads to people to direct market me.

    It is extremely unlikely that an iPhone can get a virus unless it is jailbroken according to security experts. Even when jailbroken it is not common, but it has happened.

    The worst thing about Apple is that it is closed, the best thing about Apple is that it's closed. The best thing about Android is that it's open, the worst thing about Android is that it's open...

    Actually, the problem with the Android seems to be the many varieties of implementation of the OS. Microsoft users used to claim that buying an Apple meant less access to software, but in this case it's the reverse. Buying Android means less access to apps. Apple has many thousands more apps, and unlike Android, there's some kind of quality control present when they're sold through Apple's app store.

    Also, buying Apple is more about buying American technology. Google gives a free license to the Taiwanese and Koreans who produce most of the cheap Apple imitation droid phones so popular with the thin wallet crowd. So, Apple is all about bringing home the bacon, not conquering the world.

    Apple share price jumped to $459- yesterday, by the way, and it's still a good value stock compared to Google. Apple is sitting on 150B in cash, which is more than the Facebook IPO will sell for...

    Apple will probably put out a TV and put aging Sony out of business...

    Right! I hate adding memory cards or swapping batteries on a phones. These things just provide a place for dust to penetrate and ruin the electronic.

    My 64gig iPhone has more space for movies than most dedicated video cams can offer, and I've never used more than 50% of that memory space during long vacations outside the USA.
