That's because most Apple users are like that Erika. I find that the iPhones is a pretty substandard product...a lot of that due to the crappy network it's on, so not necessarily an Apple issue, but still an Apple problem. It will be interesting to see how much of improvement users will get once they are on Verizon. Still, I do think that Android (though they have their own set of issues) are a superior product because they are more open and not locked under the tight fascist control of Steve Jobs. That alone is enough of a deal breaker in itself. I personally just have moral issues with Apple and their elitist monopolistic control over their phones and other products. I think others agree, which is why the 1Phone is now #3 to Android's #2 ;-)

It doesn't matter to you that we might have made a decsion based on personal experience or research, you only see that we have "drunk the koolaid". You posts reek bitterness about the product, without any solid evidence that the product is crap. I was a hold out for a long time (and a Zune owner) but was won over with the usefulness, simplicity and functionality of hubby's when he got his. As an aside: Hubby's 2.5 year old 3G: still going strong, not a scratch, crack or a crash with perfect battery life. My 3GS: Used every day, almost all day, same as above. But none of that matters to an anti-apple person. Sent by iPhone goodness. Have a happy day!
