customizing electronics is becoming more and more popular as people get more educated and want more than manufacturers are willing to provide. There are those that want it to work the same way out of the box and those that want to be able to make the phone their own

You're able to customize any smartphone & yes obviously a lot of apps utilize the Internet.

No, I've got everything set up quite nicely and it still kicks the ****piss out of my iPhone. I can enjoy browsing literally any website I choose with faster speeds than iPhone and doing literally anything on social networking faster.

I've got apps that take the place of most websites & my iPhone 4S is plenty fast. Guess what I can also view any website I choose but don't have to because of apps.

I like Apple just fine. I had two iPhones over the course of more than a year and liked it fine. I just like my Droid better because I can do more with it.

What can you do on a droid that you can't do on an iPhone that makes it better?

Larger screen, faster CPU, faster network speeds, literally limitless possibilities on UI customization, better camera. I've had one hardware issue so far which was resolved same day, I had three hardware issues between two iPhones so the reliability is a wash.

The only thing iPhones have is slightly better app support, and customer service depending on where you live, but I live fairly close to a service center so if I have any issues I can get them resolved just as easily as going to the Apple store.

My friend has an iPhone 4S and we sat and compared them for a couple hours at the bar a few weeks ago. There wasn't a single function his phone could do that mine couldn't do at least as well or even better, the only difference is iOS's slicker, cookie-cutter interface.

And I don't fiddle and tinker with my phone out of necessity, I do it like when I'm sitting on the train or in a lobby or something. I could leave it alone and be just fine.

I'll take superior form & function of the iPhone over a couple insignificant bells & whistles any day.

I'm just telling you what your precious customer service representatives told me over the phone verbatim. As for what you think, that's nice.

Larger screen is a preference & varies from droid to droid as well as other hardware components. IMO the iPhone is pretty much the perfect size to function as a phone & offer everything else. Not sure about a better camera either. My 4s takes pretty good pics. Faster network is also subjective & depends on quite a few factors. I fiddle with my phone too & learn something new all the time.

The majority of folks will disagree with your customer support statement especially on the Apple side. I've had AT&T drop all kinds of stuff off my bill numerous times because of silly things my kids had done. What I think is nice, thanks.

I have an iPhone, but have played with both and think both are great. Then again I came from Blackberry, so I was just excited to have an app store that wasn't overflowing with just word processors and email managers.

If I have a phone that is faster and better than an iPhone, then that is a credit to Android however you want to slice it. Also, if you live anywhere with a building larger than ten stories in the area, the network speeds are faster.

That's nice that you learn new stuff. Customization on an iPhone is painting by numbers, with Android it's a Rembrandt.

I hear that. Just bought a second hand Motorola Droid for $20 for my girl to replace her Blackberry clickscreen whatchamacallit. What a piece of crap.

Lets see, until this past year the iphone could not create a wifi hot spot, without jailbreaking it and voiding the warranty, droids been doing it for years. With Google dropping serious money in the Android world, the best is yet to come with droids
