what phone would you choice and explain why you picked that it. Are what you like about the phone and its ups and downs
i personally have a droid 2 and i love it :P im to lazy to post why right now tho so i will tommorrow
Android beats iPhone any day in my book. I had an iPhone, and now I have a Droid 2. For anyone who isn't a technophone and intimidated by it's slightly steeper learning curve (since it has so many more features, it can take a while to figure out how to use them fully), Android phones beat out the iPhone in nearly every way. WAYYYY better development kit for programmers, very little restrictions on what you can do with it and what types of apps can be made (where as the iPhone is the opposite), among countless other things. True multitasking, nearly full access to the file system of the phone, full Flash and HTML5 support, removable/upgradable battery and memory cards, highly customizable interface and desktops, just to name a few. Using my Droid 2 really just feels like using a mini computer. Heck, I can even do stuff like tethering my phone and making free video calls over 3G by simply downloading a free app from the official android market (no rooting or jailbreaking required for either).
I may be a little bit off here, but Windows Phone 7 all the way for me. I'm still deciding on which handset, I am going, but after trying the OS out for a few hours at the shops, I can definitly say, that I've never seen anything that smooth on a mobile device.
Of course it's lagging some features, but feel free to compare WP7 with iOS 1.0 or Android 1.6 and you will see how much of a difference there really is. Flash 10.1 for WP7, copy and paste and other neat stuff will be added in early 2011 aswell as a lot of other neat improvements.
As for developing I have to say it is probably the most easiest way to develop EVER. You gotta head to Microsofts express website, download the WP7 dev tools (including special versions of the newest visual studio, expression blend and xna game studio) all for free. Apps are developed in Silverlight 3 (including some SL4 features downported especially for WP7) and the framework is extremely intuitive and easy to understand, especially with the dozens of official very well documented tuts.
Droid. That shit is bangin' dawg.
I've only had the "pleasure" of owning an iPhone, but I am most definitely not furthering my mobile hand-held ownership with Apple. I've heard so many cases of "Well I don't need to jailbreak my Android to do that", or "I don't need to own a Mac to develop that", amongst only a few things. The Android market seems to be overpowering the iPhone based off of restrictions (or the lack there-of).
Another thing that just urks me is all of the constant media attention Apple is getting for stupid stuff that they are seemingly screwing up, or at least, is how the media plays it off. Everything from cryptic application restrictions, to poor hardware design (attenuation and using glass for the screen), or just failing at keeping up in the revolutionary market. Half of the time the company all the way up to the CEO seem to play the "It's a non-issue" card, or the ignorance card that it is truly annoying. Case in point with that would be their first "fix" for the attenuation where they released to the press "We understand there are issues with the iPhone 4, and that many users are dissatisfied with it, so we've proposed a fix, we are going to redo the algorithms that calculate the quality of service based off of reception and redo the graphical design of the bars to more accurately reflect how much reception the phone has (completely ignoring the attenuation issue)". In fact, when I went to go and find the latest negative press they are getting, I looked no further than the RSS feed of Ars Technica, and sure enough, article three:

Blackberry has died off at this point. I don't understand how a majority of businesses still prefer and hand out BB's has their company phones, unless it is some sort of prolonged contract they have with RIM.

On a personal level, with where I work and such, developing for the Android has far superseded the rest. We do not use Macs at my office, so the only way to test how the web browser on the iPhone looks with web skins is to literally sit here with an iPhone (which we can't do at the office), and refresh the page every time we make a change. Android has an awesome SDK and emulator that allows for us to emulate an Android on our computer, so that we may use it as a sort of web browser for testing. Blackberry development for web applications.... Do
not get me going on that, as most of the users can admit that the web browser on the Blackberry is about on par with old HTML 3.5 standards... It sucks, real bad.
I literally just bought an iPhone 4 two days ago. It was a tough decision for me because I love the Android system; however, I love my games more. I bought my iPhone 4 for two reasons. 1, a larger app base including games such as Infinity Blade (main reason I bought it was for this and future games like it). 2, I can install a program called Installous and do things which I can not mention on this forum. Just google it.

Mainly, I absolutely HAAAATE touchscreen keyboards. I just can't do it, I have to have a physical keyboard. That's the main reason I picked the Torch. It has a full touchscreen plus an actual keyboard. and it's only $15 a month whereas the iPhone is more expensive per month. I didn't really what a phone for being able to browse the internet. Though it's nice to have for when I do need it.

I enjoy touch-screens... A lot, but surprising enough, I have to agree with you on the keyboard part. If a phone was touchscreen for everything but the keyboard, I would fall in love. I as well try to limit my Internet Browser usage on my phone if I can help it, both because I am always around a computer, the touchscreen keyboard, and various other reasons, but unfortunately, being a web developer, I don't have the luxury of disregarding my mobile customers...
The great thing about Android phones is that Android is just the OS, and numerous different manufacturers and providers make phones for it. Therefore, you can get phones that have touchscreens, keyboards, or both. The Droid 2 that I have for instance has both. The Droid Pro is another one with a keyboard, and it has a fairly similar design to the blackberry (think it has a touchscreen as well).

Hmmm, but wouldn't a keyboard on the long side be better?
As for me, I use a $10 go-phone from Wal*Mart. It suits my needs, and I have nearly 3000 rollover minutes.
With Android vs. iPhone, I'd go Android even though I've never seen one up close. I refuse to fund Apple.

Ha yeah, Apple wins with the smart phone why? Because it plays music better. Some smart phone.
I have an iTouch- which I bought from a friend, so in no way funded Apple. However I use my Zune 120GB for music/videos.

Considering a Iphone is a hardware device and Android is software its really hard to compare. Its like saying "Is call of duty better than the Wii?"
Now the correct question would be IOS vs Android or Iphone vs Android power smart phones.

Pretty sure my Droid 2 plays music just as good if not better than my old iPhone did. It can even do fancy Audio Effects like Extreme Bass, Brilliant Treble, Vocalizer, etc, as well as those lame visualization effects.

I play music on my blackberry more than my ipod nowadays...
Another reason I chose Blackberry is because I bought the phone from Sam's Club and they didn't have all the fancy android phones (in fact, I'm not sure if they had any). They had like, 5 smart phones, and the blackberry was the only one with an actual keyboard (keeping in mind I have AT&T and I got it back in October)
Mainly I was comparing the fact that blackberry has a touchscreen and the iphone doesn't. But I have heard great things about android phones, I have nothing against them.

Call of duty is better.
Than a whole system with games just as good, if not better? I think not.
Anyway, I can say with certainty I will be getting a Droid 2 soon. Beats iPhone anyday, IMO.
Figured I'd add my input on this.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with AT&T, and I love it. It's an android phone, and as far as androids on at&t go, it's probably one of, if not the best.
I can't really say how it compares to an Iphone, because I've never had one, but the apps certainly don't disapoint. I've found quite a few addicting games on the app store for free, but like I said, I have never owned an Iphone, so I don't know how the games compare.

Don't get me wrong I myself am a Wii owner but yes better than the whole system games included.
On topic:
The one thing that the iPhone has that I like more than the Android based phones is the way it meshes well with every other Apple device you might happen to own. That being said if you don't already own any Apple devices get an Android based phone.
DroidX here. Great freakin phone. The large screen is pretty key. It makes the touchscreen much easier to use (in fact, i couldn't get used to using the original droid touchscreen.) Plus viewing content is awesome on it. Browsing the internet, pictures, everything. That extra bit of screen space is, in my opinion, everything.
By the way, back to the point of development, I have to say in my line of work and in some other aspects, I have seen more mention of development for iPhone than anything. The fact is, if companies see it as the leading choice for consumers, that's where they're going to go. They don't care if it's easier to develop for. They pay people to figure that part out. Plus... the fact the android's browser is so awesome you don't really need apps if it's a web based product (such as one or two of the products that I use at work). I can actually just go to the browser and use the same browser based software that i use on the computer. And with the DroidX screen it's actually quite usable.
i personally love the android way more i have a droid 2 like meiun
but the things i love about it is that keyboard its just like on you would find on a pc all most and its all so toch screen(of course) but incase the touch screen is being gay you have the keyboard unlike the iphone
then the market i will agree iphones market is way big at the moment but everyday the andoids grows and unlike the apple market android ave very very few limits which opens the market up way more and it should serpass the iphones
i all so love the service it gives me because when i live atat sucks so bad in spots you cant even text which is kinda sad and i all ways have 3g
and as meiun said i will vouch its like having a little mini pc you can truly do all most anything

There's several different kinds made by a few different companies. The one's we're talking about are Motorola. There's also an HTC Droid Incredible.
Honestly, I think I like the selection of apps for the androids better, and the fact that I can let apps run in the backgroun is really nice.(Along with running multiple apps at once.)
I also like the fact that you can root the droids(something I'm considering doing to get rid of all the crap at&t installs on the phone that can't be removed)
I think one of the biggest strengths of the androids is the fact that you can get one on almost any wireless company now. Where as the Iphone has to be used with at&t.
Speaking of Andriod Phones mine is arriving in 11-16 days i'm really happy and i also prefer Android phones to Iphones
My Mum has a HTC running Android and I have used it more than she has. Everything runs smoothly. A lot better than any iPhone I have played on/used that any of my friends own.
I own a Nokia 5530, which is this piece of junk:
(http://noknok.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/nokia-5530-xpressmusic-01.jpg)
I'm going to have to endure this phone for another 12 months, but I might pay the rest of my contract off since its only ?15 a month and get a HTC Desire HD.
I don't know why you all hate on the iPhone. I rather enjoy mine and I have used Android phones. I am not one of those mactards who thing anything apple is better, but once the iPhone is jailbroken its a great phone. And hey, if I was really desperate to have Android, I can install it on my iPhone. (Yes I know jailbreaking defeats the purpose of the phone technically. xD)

exactly you have to jailbreak yours to keep up with android. Where android is pretty much unlocked. you cn root a andoid but there is only a small difference lol i rooted my old eris but its a waste of time to root to me at least.
However i will admit a jailbroke iphone is not that bad it can be fun but all so kill warrenty and all that. i jailbroke my iod touch broke the screen sent it in they wont fix it lol so if you brake it you are kind fed
I couldn't find any high-quality games for Android which is why I went to the iPhone. iPhone has quality apps imo, you get what you pay for, which in this case is quality apps. It's funny how people say Android is better because it is better for developers. This is true, but for 99% of the people in the world who aren't developers, they don't give a flying !@#$ ;D.
Anyway they are both great phones.
My 2 cents.

Which is simple to avoid. So long as you can plug your iPhone/iPod into iTunes, you should be able to revert back to the standard iOS, thus not voiding any warranties.
Does jailbreaking still void the warranty after it was deemed legal to be allowed to jailbreak the device? I figure it probably would still void it because whether or not it's legal doesn't really matter with regards to the rules Apple puts in place, but I don't know for certain.

It does not "void" the warranty, but they can deny you service. And your method of resolving the jailbreak is absolutely correct, it is 100% undetectable after a restore.

Although I HAVE seen several good games for the Android, it doesn't compare to the massive amount of (mainly) high-quality apps Apple has, in my opinion.

Which is simple to avoid. So long as you can plug your iPhone/iPod into iTunes, you should be able to revert back to the standard iOS, thus not voiding any warranties.
Does jailbreaking still void the warranty after it was deemed legal to be allowed to jailbreak the device? I figure it probably would still void it because whether or not it's legal doesn't really matter with regards to the rules Apple puts in place, but I don't know for certain.
It does not "void" the warranty, but they can deny you service. And your method of resolving the jailbreak is absolutely correct, it is 100% undetectable after a restore.
i didnt rstore it lol but yu might want to look the warrenty thing up cuz i believe it does.

What is an actual Droid phone?? I'm from Australia and have never heard of such a phone existing.
Really? I'm from Australia, I've had a Galaxy S for a few months now and it is awesome! I also have an iPod touch and now that I have the Galaxy I very rarely use the iPod. My only problem is that the Android facebook app is a bit average, especially compared to the iPhone one.

Are you sure your using the one from the app store instead of just the "social network" app that some of them come bundled with? If so, also make sure you have the latest updates to it, cause I use to have the iPhone version before I got my Droid as well, and I have to say that I like the Android one better. It seems to have
more features as far as I can tell.

If you don't restore it does. Hence I put "void" in quotes. There is no traceable side effect of jailbreaking after a restore. So technically it does not void your warranty unless you don't know how it works, which you didn't.

This makes me sad. Microsoft is being amazing with the jailbreak community for their phone and all goes wrong. Makes me quite sad.
