iPhone or Android?

I just feel like I'm going from something advanced to playing with a kid's toy whenever I'm forced to use my wife's iPhone. I'm spoiled by Swype on my LG Spectrum (instead of pecking at the keyboard like some kind of lab monkey, I can just draw a line from letter to letter).

(Don't necessarily disagree with which is better, just find amusing the juxtaposition of typing as being more monkey-like than dragging a finger around a screen.)

I love my droid. I do not understand Apple products. They aren't intuitive to me the way they are to others. I have to make a decision this week about whether I'm going to just keep my droid x or upgrade to 4G. Keep changing my mind. No idea what phone to pick if I do upgrade. (Verizon.)

And I would say just the opposite. I think the iPhone has succeeded so splendidly largely because of its intuitive interface. I picked it up, and instantly understood what to do to get what result i wanted. The Droid leaves me totally confused, and I would need an instruction manual to operate it.

Go into an Apple store and play with the iPhone. Is there somewhere where Droids can be played with? (not Tatooine, surely)

I've tried to use an iPhone. Very confusing. (I am apparently the brain that Windows was developed for as, before they started apple-izing, I found it totally intuitive.) I like customizing my droid.

Also, the iPhone is way more expensive than my android options and that's a consideration right now.

Pru - whatever Droid you get be sure to find out if it already has or will be getting* Ice Cream Sandwich.

*confirm via the web - most of of the products are listed

I had a Droid for several years- every software update screwed something up for me. Odd glitches, unexplained power downs, crashes, freezes- it wasn't good. Got three new phones under warranty exchanges, new battery after just over a year-

Finally switched to my iPhone- love it. I was raised on Apple so it's familiar to me yet there is still much to learn. Intuitive, friendly and not a single problem thus far.

YMMV of course

I think she (Pru) has already established that she is not interested in an iPhone.

I also vote for the iPhone not-an-option
