Enjoy. Jailbreak adds more features & customization. Something to think about.

I have to learn how to use it regularly first. I'm new to all of this, as you know... I went with Sprint, by the way.

Carrier doesn't matter the phone is the same.

The Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SII blow the iPhone out of the water. Do some research.

I disagree and I have a Galaxy Nexus. I used to have an iPhone 4.

The iphone is the best reception smart phone I have ever owned,and I've owned a bunch of smart phones.

As for Android vs iOS that's all personal preference.

Not a problem.You made an informed decision. The phones now days are just so good compared to what we had a few years back,you couldn't go wrong with just about any phone.

I should really learn to remember to multiquote,instead of posting twice.hmy:

Considering I go by Non Bias Benchmarks, I'll take the word of the people who put out the Benchmarks....

What's funny is my phone works flawlessly either way. Apple keeps iOS tight knit but that's their thing. I'm sure all updates & apps work seamlessly from android to android. The customization was just an added perk to jailbreaking not my main reason.

Not so much when rooted and running certain ROM's that are glitchy. They update the ROM's pretty regular though.Some are solid,and some are crap!

If you're just rooted and just use super user access to have more control it's pretty seamless.

Set up iCloud with your computer and you will love how seemlessly it syncs your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and mail.

If you are on windows you need to download the iCloud installer from apple. It's very quick and easy to set up.

How can you do it on the Droid system

 

[govols/cc]

How can you do it on the Droid system

Insteas of cydia they aidyc. Just another copy cat thing.

You can probably find some things in the market to customize your icons. Rooting the Android is more work IMO but a lot more powerful than iOS once rooted,it can also be more of a problem if something goes wrong. I've recovered some bricked androids that took a lot of work because people didn't follow directions.You really need to look in a droid forum and kinda learn your brand/model phone. Once you root the Android you can make them do some amazing things that iOS can't do,but it can drain the battery also.

With android you can change the laucher (ADW or Launcher Pro for example) have widgets and customize things without rooting (called jailbreaking on the Apple side).

Copy cat? Is that fanboi speak?

I was joking about the cydia thing bit yea the iPhone has been copied to death. That's not fanboi that's just real.

I chose iPhone for the simplicity, and being a new smart phone user I figured I should start there

They're all simple you just always know what you're getting with the iPhone.

The OS has not been copied.Samsung has copied the look of the iphone,and the icons,but that's about it.

Apple has stolen just like everyone else ie Xerox and now Motorola. Really you're reading too much stupid crap on MacRumors.

That's what I like about mine. I still play around with my other phones but I enjoy its stability and simplicity.That's what OSX and iOS do well...they just work.
