    So far these are the features in Android i prefer over the iPhone:

    1. Easy to root/unlock so you can use sim cards from other carriers anywhere in the world. (you can buy unlocked iPhone but it’s expensive).

    2. Can drag and drop documents into the phone just like you would a USB flash drive. You can view the docs using Quick Office.

    3. Voice recognition for texting which works pretty well. I do a fair amount of texting just staying in touch with people. It’s nice to not have to type.

    4. large screen. iPhone looks tiny. (funny back when phones were just made for calling, I wanted the smallest one possible. Now I want large screen).

    The new iPhone 5 ‘d better be good, otherwise Apple will lose market share.

    I’m bored with the iPhone now. I needed a new toy.

    The iPhone is pretty easy to jailbreak/unlock as well so I’m not sure how much easier an Android phone really is. But for #2 it’s nice that you can do that out of the box, for iPhone you’d definitely have to jailbreak to get that functionality.

    Can anyone comment on the Google Voice integration on an Android phone vs. iPhone? I use GV for text messaging since I don’t want to pay for a text plan. On the iPhone the GV apps are all limited in one way or another, including the official Google Voice app which is horrible (crashes often, lots of bugs). It’s obvious that Google is intentionally trying to make GV on the iPhone as crappy as possible so people will want to upgrade to Androids.

    Google didn’t cripple GV on iPhone because they wanted to. It’s what they can do w/in the Apple ecosystem. GV on Android is fantastic. Visual voicemail rock. Voicemail to text rock too.
