    You are sadly mistaken and misinformed on all points.

    Bigger screen is this only thing u got right.

    Apple has tons of free apps. All with "data gathering" restrictions applied to developers. Google NOT Apple has been hit with EU security/privacy violations.

    No PC for music transfers? What, you enjoy waiting for your stuff to load? I have over 8 gigs of music. Quicker to use iTunes and USB. I don't download music online directly to my phone. iTunes allows me to sort my stuff like I want to. I'm NOT required to use it.

    3G ? 4G? Since there isn't an accepted industry standard for either. What's the big deal? My Apple works on what the industry "calls" 4 G. Which is termed 3.5 by most insiders.

    Jail breaking an Apple is child's play....if you want to do it.

    I like both platforms. But android lost me when Google announced their new data mining standards. ... Which is complete bull####

    We bought my mom the iPhone 4 since it was about $60 with her contract renewal.
    She's still in the star struck phase, she's so amazed at what these phones do. Her favorite thing is to get on Facebook and keep up with the family.

    Right on all but 3G. Apple currently does not have a 4G device. Those in a 4G network enjoy 10+ mbps.

    You've been-----\/\/\/\-----Thunderstruck!!!

    Droid Razr Maxx is the best phone on the market now, with proper "smart actions" set, you can easily get 14 to 16 hrs of battery life with heavy usage. I've gotten as much as 28 hrs of battery life on mine with nominal usage on a weekend.

    Only half right. The 4s is 4G compatible with the current network. Which technically is 3.5.

    When someone actually puts up 4G. There may be issues.

    That said, you'll never see the 4G symbol displayed on the phone. It's an Apple thing. AT&T says the phone is capable.

    Only way I'm gonna get 28 hours out of my iPhone is plug the ##### into the charger lol

    Actually mine holds a charge for couple days while home. But it sits idle for much of that time

    My 4s just tested at 2634 kbps. Sorry no pic. I haven't figured the screen capture part out yet.

    the iphone doesn' thave a 4g chip. look in the network settings and all you'll see is 3g.

    but when you buy it. you'll be told it's a 4g phone just becuase it's called 4.

    doesn't take me long to transfer my music into my phone using plain ole windows. or anything for that matter. itunes software not required to do anything.

    the transfer is only as good as the usb port. since usb 2 is the standard. we all have pretty much the same speed. can't go any faster but some software DOES have a tendency to be slower.

    u can buy or build usb 3. but the phone isn't capable of usb3 yet.

    and i've heard and seen a LOT of people buy the iphone and for whatever reason they always go back to android. android is quickly becoming the #1 phone. and more apps.

    but everyone has there own flavor. just like some prefer macs over pc. chev over ford.

    god can't create everyone to be as equal. :)
