Hi rishi, seems too much confused! :) Anyways. As you say, “I'm not a geek and don’t have the time to explore things, make changes & tweaks on my phone.” I suggest you go with iPhone. You can’t get android’s keyboard facility and IPhone’s comfort at the same time. While android is improving every day and there is nothing that you can’t do with android and can do with iPhone, still many of people find iPhone is much easier and accessible to use especially when they don’t have budget constraint. So best for you is to get an iPhone. P.S, these are my views based on your mail you sent here. Hope this helps.
