The proximity sensor on both phones went out after about 6 months of use, or at least got real glitchy. The advantade for me with android is that it is non-tethered to iTunes. I got a iPhone about a month ago. I was fairly use to the iOS platform since I have an iPad. I really love this phone. I have the Verizon version so I can't talk and surf at the same time but I could care less about that. All of the apps so far have worked flawlessly and I haven't had any apps freeze up. I got it knowing a new iPhone was probably on the horizon, but Verizon is suppose to be ending unlimited data plans this summer so I am hoping to get grandfathered in with this phone or at the bare minimum being able to keep unlimited til my contract is up. Long story short I like the iOS software better than android. Open platform is cool but inherent glitches are not.

This is a pretty good point regarding both. Apps are pretty much equal on both phones, but the quality and stability of those apps are still varied on their respective platforms. iPhone apps must go through a Naziesque performance requirement test before being admitted into the App store. I'm not a huge fan of the stringent approval process, but it does ensure stability and performance for iOS apps. Android is much more lax in this regard, and they allow developers much more freedom in development. Which is why we've seen Malware issues targeting Android already. If you take the time to tweak your Android device, this issue can be eliminated pretty easily on Android. But it's still a consideration.
