iPhone or Android?

[Betty]

I would go for the higher data plan. Once you get a smart phone, you'll find it's good for all sorts of things like streaming something to watch while you wait at the dmv, or listening to pandora or using Skype (although I'd recommend google + instead as Skype has been giving me nothing but pixelation and dropped sound issues.) What's the point of getting a smart phone, to have all those cool features available to you on a whim, if you're not going to use them because you're afraid you'll go over your data limit. (assuming there is some big penalty and it doesn't just switch you to the higher priced plan automatically)

As far as which one? My husband has had both and I liked them both. I liked my android phone when I had it and my son has a pad that runs android and enjoys it immensely.
