I like Chris use both, it's all about what you want out of your device really. People complain about battery swelling being the reasons they would never buy a phone with out an removable battery I have never had this issue, on either platform. I find that I can get things done pretty quickly on both so access is certainly there. You can get a device for a bit cheaper if you go android, something to keep in mind if you on a budget.
