I think the best phones right now are the Galaxy line. The S3 now comes in SEVEN different colors (eight in Korea). I got mine in amber brown, which I think is sick not only because of how it looks (especially in the sun) but also because virtually no one else has that color. Even the people that work at Verizon very rarely see it, as when I took it in for something around when I first bought it they were ogling it.
Honestly I think this is a bit of a sell out on Apple's part. It seems like for so long they've adhered very strongly to conformity as much as possible (not a good thing IMO). I may be mistaken, but amongst their wireless, handheld devices I think their only color variation beyond b&w is the pink iPad.
For those saying they're dying, they actually just dethroned Coca Cola as the most valuable brand in the world. I would never touch an iPhone, in large part due to the obtusely retarded one button interface on the front. Again, conformity. If you didn't have that one big retarded button on the front of your devices, it just wouldn't feel like Apple.

The original iPod came in several different colors. The iPod Touch and Nano came in several different colors. The iMacs from 15 years ago came in a bunch of different colors. The iPad Mini comes in a bunch of different colors, as will the refresh of the new iPad that comes next Tuesday.
Apple has been adding color to their products for as long as anybody else in the industry if not longer. You can hate on them all you want, but they make a fantastic product that many people love.
Are they better than Android phones? Depends on who you ask. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. To say anything like "Apple totally suxxxx0rz!!!11!!1!!" or "Android is laggy and shitty" is nothing but fanboyism and it's a little sad to watch.
By the way the new iPhone beat the GS4 in several stress tests (dropping, dunking in water, etc), but continue thinking that they're built like shit.

Ime the iphones were virtually indestructible. I had one for a year and im drop prone and it never broke. I did have a nice otter case though.
Had my gs4 for a week and dropped it onto concrete and the screen shattered. Had to pay 170 to get another with my warrenty.
Didn't have a case on it though so your mileage may vary.

Samsung phones are completely indestructible though, I routinely throw mine our of the car for fun then go pick it up later.

I don't know why anyone would want a phone you can't add your own files/movies/music. Makes my iphone almost worthless to me.

Of course you can add your own music and movies.... you sync them with iTunes... but you're right that you can't just mount the phone as a drive and manually copy things over.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

After we had an earthquake here in DC in 2011, i wanted to see how many aftershocks we would have, so I downloaded an app that turns your iPhone into a seismograph - and a pretty sensitive one at that.
 That blip in the middle was me dropping a pen on the floor.
Sorry, it may be a fucking scam, but these are fucking cool devices.
