I preordered one for my mom. She's had a dumb phone for years and it's been shitting out lately. About time she got a new phone and this will be the easiest for her I think.

Yeah, nevermind the specs the iPhone 4S is sporting, which puts it right on par with all new phones.

Apple releases 1 phone a year, Android has probably close to hundred different phones releasing a year, from budget phones to high end devices.

Even if only for a few weeks, assuming one considers a 3G phone "on par" to begin with.

That has nothing to do with the iPhone, it has everything to do with the people you associate with being idiots.

I'm not so sure what is much different regarding your Droid compared to the iPhone. I've had a few Android phones including the Evo. It's a simple concept on both phones. Swipe through screens, access apps, etc... Doesn't take a degree in nuclear biology to work a phone.

Exactly, I just find navigation a bit irritating with IOS - thing I love about the Droid is just hitting the back key or search button. But as a business user, I just find Android to be superior as far as functionality.

i thought it was simple too. i guess organzing apps in folders and not in the app drawer was a mind blowing concept.

Doesn't that just go to say what an amazing job Apple has done with their product? I would think that's the strongest argument for going iPhone.

My droid sucks balls. Can't wait to switch over on Friday. Excited my entire Itunes Library will be able to be played on it through the cloud, taking up no memory on my phone.

I prefer my electronics to be easy to use as well as having some cool features. Ease of use is hard to achieve in electronics and is why apple products do so well.

More like making the product easy to use for everybody, which is a great marketing strategy.

takes up no memory, but what about battery life streaming compared to a running program?
