Whatsapp is a joke. No desktop or web client, doesn't sync the conversation thread between devices = absolute fail in my books.

j/k really; if need be, I think there's an app that'll let you receive iMessage texts on your android.
I'm almost positive there isn't. It's a closed source protocol.

But really...whatsapp.
No. If anything use FB Messenger or Hangouts. The thing is, iMessage REALLY is amazing. Especially if you run OS X on your computer too as there is a desktop client for it. Whatsapp really sucks a giant dick though. I would never use that.

I like my android. I don't like apple as a company. Seems like they've perfected the technique of making pretty shit that performs slightly more reliably than a standard windows pc. The same applies to Apple's phones. You can get an android phone for much cheaper without a piece of shit contract.

You dislike Apple because they make what you perceive as prettier and more reliable products than the competition? That's seems like a pretty illogical reason to dislike a company.

Another vote for Android. Noticing a trend, OP? My Galaxy S and SIII have been top notch. But to be fair, I root and fully worked over my phone. Now that it's set up right, I don't do much tinkering other than flashing updates once in a while for the ROM which is easy takes like 15 minutes.

If you have a Mac, go iPhone, the syncing is seamless.
Otherwise, the choice is yours. Droid is more customizable and like a computer but there is a learning curve. iPhone is much simpler but you really can do most anything you need to do on a phone, and the app options are rather awesome.

Juicin said: If you use it for a media player, I'd go with the droid. Paying apple for the 32 gig Iphone is pretty insane if you need the memory. Droid allows you to buy a 20 dollar chip to add 32 gigs of memory. But if you don't care about your memory and are more worried about a well made phone I'd go with the smaller iphone. You don't need much space if you're not filling it with audio files and videos
Yeah a microSD slot is a very useful feature and presumably costs very little to add. The only reason they left it out is so that they can milk a lot more money out of people who want a little more storage. Fuck that.

now a days you can store your stuff in cloud or back up on computer, or use something like dropbox. 32GB is plenty for storage.

Rationalisation of wasted money is not cool round these parts.
Just admit you got duped.

I used to be on the Apple bandwagon 100%. iPhone 3, then 3GS then 4.
I got a Sony Xperia SP a couple weeks back, and it's really mindblowing how much I've been missing by sticking with iPhones.
Basically, if you're a shallow individual when it comes to technology get an iPhone. If you actually like to do cool futuristic shit with your phone and feel like you're in control, get an Android.

Yeah I have a 32GB card in my phone and it's plenty for my needs at the moment. It was about $20.

When I'm working I sometimes cover my cameras with taper so the lenses don't get scratched by random debris in my pocket.

I just got a Galaxy S4, it's actually my first smart phone, I am digging it. I also got one for my wife and switched her off her moms family plan and created our own.
She had a iphone 4 and is starting to love the the new Galaxy S4. It was a bit of a learning curve but after a couple days she is getting the hang of it. She's not a a very techy person.
Battery life is a downer, thinking I might flash it with a new rom and see how that works. I hear it can make battery life so much better not having all the bloatware going.
One of the best things about going from an i device to an android.... no more fucking iTunes. I actually just unistalled that about 5 minutes ago. Okay, i will have to install it again, but an older version for my 1st gen ipod touch(jailbroke). iTunes just keeps getting worse and worse in my opinion.
Lucky patcher ftw, fuck you google ads!
I like the freedom.
If I didn't care about removable batteries and upgradeable memory i would have gone with the HTC One.
