So I'm also looking at Samsung...pros, cons??

Jacqui you love your BB? I want to throw mine out the window. I have never had luck with any BB I have had. I am getting the Iphone as soon as my upgrade is available.

Ya I do...the Bold has never given me any trouble other than the occasional freeze. I know its time to switch...the IPhone scares me, too many apps that I know I will never use.
The Galaxy...haven't really checked that one out...so beats me!
All I do on a cell is email, maybe text once in a while and of course YT!!! Oh and Facebook. The occassional phone call, (not allowed to use phone at work...that will earn you several months suspension without pay).
I'm stumped...someone help me please!!

I can hardly get on YT on my BB. I text and email constantly and love surfing the web. I know it's time for an upgrade for me.

I just love my iphone 4s and it does so many things.......facetime, facebook, the cameras are just amazing and I can get good pics all the time, no matter where I am.
It is also very user friendly.
Now if I can only figure out how to put my babies pics up on YT

Have you ever You tubed the drop test on the Iphone and Galaxy? It is pretty cool- The Galaxy wins for sure! My battery life on my Incredible is pretty crappy, I keep a charger at work, in my car and at home!

I actually just downloaded Tango- its a video chat app tonight. Anymore every app has versions for all platforms. Haven't tried the video chatting yet.

Ice Cream Sandwich is a newer version of Android. Not the newest (Jellybean). Its even easier to use than the last version, but then again I also find android super easy to use. I have trouble using the iPhone b/c I love my back button and can't past the lack of one.

Oh Cool let me know how the video chat works for you- I think Android's are really easy too, I find myself stumped when I use my friends Iphone.. like if she shows me a picture I dont know how to navigate myself!

I agree, I love the back button!!

I had the incredible before I had the iPhone 4s... Honestly I LOVE my iPhone way more then my droid. As far as not having a back button it's now on your screen only took me a few days to get used to not having it and I actually like it better.

As far as waiting to get the newest one I would mainly because it has to be 4g as almost all phones are. Apple would be stupid not to make it 4g. And it is rumored that the design will change. I have read the actual charging connector will change. I think it will because it will have to keep up with other competition.

Great!! I wanted to hear someone’s opinion coming from the Droid to the Iphone. I do love my Droid, I love the camera mainly- It is older 2 years I believe so it does act really goofy, it freezes and does other crazy stuff, but when it was new I had 0 complaints! I heard the Iphone 5 is going to be a pretty penny, I read online people are saying like 800-900$ that isn’t contract price so I am not sure if it will be $199 like the Iphone 4s is Sprint for new contracts.

I can get the Galaxy or Iphone with sprint for $199-

I went through 3 droids and I never have had an issue with my iPhone. I love it I'll be interested to finally know the facts when the new one comes out. Apple and the rumors lol

iPhone 5 Rumor Guide: Features, Release Date, and Why to Wait for Newest Apple Smartphone - ABC News

Pretty good article on some rumors I have a friend who works for Verizon in the buisness department so I get sucked into all of it lol

Another reason to wait would be if you did go with the 4s.. Apple will probably slash it to 99.. Good reason to save a 100

LOL Ya right- Apple isn't really into deals! I think I am going to go with the Iphone, I might as well wait for the 5 to come out... One of the reasons I wanted the Iphone Vs the Galaxy is the Face time. I know the Galaxy might have it available in a different name, but a couple of my friends have the 4s and have the face time. My SIL has the old Iphone, she doesn't have the face time, however she is going to wait for the iphone 5 then we will be able to have face time together and I can see my niece whenever I want! That was my main decider factor!

I am also thinking how many problems I have had with my Droid, I can only imagine in time how many problems the Galaxy would have-

Besides when I go into Sprint, I will still be a Verizon customer, so I am sure they will give me some kind of deal to make me switch anyways!!
