i'm a proper phone obsessed person, i've always had the latest and greatest phones available, my first phone was a purple NEC brick on BT cellnet lol
the problem i found with the iphones, which i believe has got better slightly, was if you paid 75p for a music track you then had to pay again to use the same track, albeit 30 seconds of it, for a ring tone, and message tones were restricted to the ones on the phone, first thing i did was jailbreak them to get the best out of them, this invalidated the warranty and made it crash, a lot
with an android phone you get all the customisable bits out of the box, and then some, you can put any mp3's onto it not just bought for ones via itunes, and if ever it crashes you can pull the battery, not to mention, you fill an iphone memory, you need to upgrade the entire phone or delete stuff, with the androids you just get a bigger sd card
it is a case of what works for each individual person but i do strongly believe that apple products are only good for business men and sheep that follow the flock, i was one of said sheep but have gone rouge
