You know that the smallest spark can start a fire when it comes to the android v iPhone argument![]()
There isn't much of an argument to be had though, anyone who isn't female can see Android is better...

Even though you're having a pop at me that's the beauty of Android which is you can come into the Android market at a very low level where you have no option with an Iphone.
Obviously to directly compete with an Iphone you have to come at an HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy level (apologies for the handsets I've missed out).
My wife doesn't need the gadgets that I need it for and the phones you mentioned would be perfect for her.
In fact she was trying a LG GT540 which she was very impressed with.
Having a pop at you?
Get over yourself lol.
So you would have a Wildfire or an X10 over an iPhone?
Just because a phone has android, doesn't make it as good or better than an iPhone![]()
I wouldn't compare the iPhone 4 to a HTC Hero. The iPhone 4 is WAY better, even though the Hero has Android, its old and with the new 2.1+ its awfully slow and bad.
Did I mention its bad?![]()
It being able to scroll as smoothly ad the iPhone would also be a plus.
Read the original post I quoted, you said you don't understand why anyone would chose an iPhone over an android. Given this is a thread where the op doesn't really have a clue about the phones, it's best that he's not mistaken about just how good android phones are

This isn't a problem on a custom ROM such as DeFrost, Leedroid, Oxygen which use BFQ/BFS scheduling. The stock kernel on a stock ROM isn't quite as efficient especially after many apps have been installed and internal cache memory fills up with data.
I come back to my original point that it takes a lot of fiddling to get an android phone up to an iPhone standard but it can be done.
Absolutely, but you have to fiddle for hours with it and continually update it to get it to thy stage.
I am mighty impressed with a SF running a custom 2.2 ATM. However it has taken a lot of research and tweaking fr my friend to get it to that stage.

Dmpoole- every android top end phone I played with in June was inferior in some small way to the iPhone. For example galaxy s had lag issues and screen judder, desire was amazing but not as smooth scrolling around BBC.co.uk as the iPhone. As I was buying sim free, I felt the iPhone was a better prospect.
If they have now resolved those issues at stock level that is great, however it has taken 6 months and you still have carrier branding to deal with.
I don't want to bash android because I do think it is the future and I loOk forward to returning to the platform. However to say that a top end android phone is better than the iPhone is, in general, deceptive.
In specific instances, there will be things that you can do on android that the iPhone cannot. In the main though, out of the box, the iPhone is a more rounded phone with far fewer issues.
What has to be set against that is the excessive contract costs of the iPhone and the knowledge that if something is not happening the way you want it to, on the iPhone you are stuck with it.

Lets make no mistake that you lads on here know more about mobile phones than I ever will.
If you are at 100 I'm at 1 because I've never had any real interest.
All my phones have been 'emergency' phones and my last one was an LG Cookie (need I say more?).
I could easily not spend more than £10 a year on PAYG.
However I know my IPOD Touch inside out and was able to use an IPhone for a month (my daughters) and was able to fall in love with it.
I was then turned on to the Samsung Galaxy by 3 women in the office, then found out my bass player had one and I played with that for hours.
I couldn't see any difference in what an IPhone and top Android phone can do but the Android does it way cheaper.
If I'm wrong then list the main differences.

Pick the one you like the sound of - there is really no best or better just the one most suited to your style of use. Even the low end phones perform really well.
I'd still love to hear how people share their MP3s on an iPhone though? And transfer files over bluetooth? I just can't understand how people can live without these things.
never done that or know anyone who does that on a phone anyway :/ not to mention it being illegal.
i just cant understand how people can live without a decent camera and some top games...
