The iPhone 5 may be pretty but as a phone it is shit compared to many alternatives. I'd take a "cheap plastic" (last I checked polycarbonate actually cost more than aluminum) phone over an iPhone.
I know a couple of people who need to have an extra phone simple because of the bad iPhone design. Else just try to Google 'iPhone 5 reception'.

Informative thread. I've considered switching too once I feel I'm due for a new phone.
I have a Nexus7 that, not a phone I know but it still gets me playing with the Android OS.

I dunno. I think that those who switch to Galaxy S4 now will regret it when the iPhone6 is released. Maybe.

Once again, we had problems with our family iphone. Screen cracked and stopped working. Wonderful.

You just picked it up one day and while you were sleeping the screen cracked on its own?

You should have sent a report to the media, I'm pretty sure iPhones cracking their own screens would have been something they would run as a story.

There must be 1000's of instances of iPhones breaking their own screens while the users are sleeping.

For me the issue is one of the Android apps constantly locking up and having to turn the phone off constantly to 'reset' them, even on the Gmail app.

I don't think I ever had to do that with my iPhone.

Another problem I am having with the Droid presently is when it goes to update the apps it constantly tells me I don't have enough memory space, despite having a 8GB card inserted.

Also, on the email app, once you delete an email, it gets moved to trash... Where it stays until you go in an MANUALLY remove every single email permanently, there is no 'bulk' delete for email that is already in the trash folder, do you have any idea how long it takes to manually remove 500 emails from trash a month by hand? lol

I've heard they are going to increase the screen size once more. This time it will have an extra column of icons.

This too.

I hear what you're saying.

I didn't go get the 5. I felt it was rushed out. The next one should be more than just extra space for icons.

You can't go wrong either way. A phone is a phone. I have used both in the past, and currently have the Droid Razr Maxx due to the fact I can get a full day of heavy use out of it (GPS, Wi-Fi, streaming, etc) without having to run to a charger every 3 hours.

another thing to consider. if you want an iphone, you get the iphone 5

with android you have 100s of choices.

the iphone is certainy well-thought out but you have to go with their screen size, form factor, body construction, display technology, ui, movie player, music source, etc.

on the android you get to choose those. different strokes. neither is necc. better than the other.

Yea. I am on my Samsung Galaxy S2, still waiting for a real good reason to buy a new phone :-)

First iPhone 3GS, then Android and next time might try a WP just to try something different.

So, I've been a die-hard iPhone user since day one.
I have been avoiding the android phones for years, but since I heard about the Galaxy S4, I decided I would give it a try and see what the hype was all about....so I bought an S4

Anyways, I've only been using it for 3 days so far and I'm still not really sold...
I am super impressed with all the great features. The Galaxy S4 does so much cool stuff...I could play with it forever and barely scratch the surface.
The problem I have is with some of the basic stuff.
For example, the native email app seems pretty clunky and terrible. I've added my company exchange email along with my gmail and yahoo personal email...but it is so slow and the interface is a bit annoying.
I also don't like that it doesn't have badge notifications. It also seems that some if the native apps and features are a bit redundant...but maybe that's just because I'm not used to it yet.
I did learn that there were some decent third party apps in the Google Play store that could fix some of my little issues, but I would have assumed that Android would have done a better job developing their native apps.

Does anyone out there agree or disagree with me? Could I be doing something wrong or is Android just a clunky operating system with a ton of great bells and whistles??

the only issue I can see for you is having the android fall in with you ipad, ipod, iboughteverythingmacmakesevenwhenIdidn'tneedit etc.. android is a better phone though
