I had an iPhone4 but that's because I bought it for 250 just to trade for a second Thunderbolt for my wife's mothers present. I tried to like it while I had it but just didn't happen. Keep your Thunderbolt

The only person who knows what phone you should be using is you. If you have any doubt, you may wish to use an iPhone. Steve Jobs will think for you.

Ha ha my thoughts exactly. Honestly if you want a great battery and stability go with the Iphone 4, but if you want your phone to do more and are big on functionality and don't want to be tied down thunderbolt. Honestly thus far my TB is my favorite phone. Sure battery life isn't great, but I'm never really in a place I can't charge it...
i honestly love my TB. never really did like the iphone... can't really customize it to your likings, sure you can jailbreak it, but there's only so much that you can do to make it your "own." but to each their own.
I'd never buy a bitten apple...

I'm there with ya. Bought the iphone when it was released on Verizon and it was returned in the 14 days. It just doesn't compare.

Tried the iPhone briefly but it just didn't come close to the level of customization that the TB and other Android phones has... even for basic options like the GPS. For example, when I asked a friend if he could choose the type of GPS he wanted for Google Maps, he said no.

Simply put. No.
honestly I came from AT&T iPhone 3GS, I've had more network problems (no lte/3g), my GPS takes about 10 minutes to load, and the battery life sucks.
though I still love the thunderbolt. I'll probably go back to the iPhone 5 when that comes out (inb4 steve jobs controls you) the only thing I notice from jailbreaking iOS compared to rooting android is overclocking. Jailbreaking you can do EVERYTHING else. Full themes, boot logo, remove what you don't want, hell you can even run android on iPhone. Overclocking is the only thing android has on the iPhone.
It's personal opinion, this is a android fanboy site so they're gonna argue... I like both phones. I could have gotten the iPhone 4 but I got the thunderbolt, either way I would have been happy.
Oh P.S., please argue about my post half of you don't even run a *nix based system but are all about DROID OS, but use Windows. Use a real *nix based system then look at droid. Much different. Only people I give props to is CM7 team for developing from ASOP source.

Flash on iPhone = Frash
Widgets, notifications = can be done with jailbreak, i have both on my 3GS still
and not all people need those, the only thing you got me on is battery.. i haven't taken out or even used more then a gig on my sdcard, plus carrying around an sdcard seems annoying..
it's all personal opinion really... my thunderbolt is sick like i said i could have got the iphone 4, and i'm 100% happy with the purchase but neither one is the best, both have pro/cons.
and open source, unless your building your own arch systems don't bother throwing that out there, you're probably using windows...

I'm also thinking about blackberries, but what Android has to offer is just too good. Blackberry is going to be dead if RIM doesn't pull something out quick. I really like the form factor of them, but just that their OS is just crap compared to Android/iOS/Windows 7.

Why? Is there anything you can't do with Android?
Even if you don't tinker too much with os or use custom roms, you can do much more on Android.
1.Media Player ( with audio effects)
2.Office apps
3.Navigation
4.EMails
5. Social apps
6. Gaming
Everything that is required and much more is there.
On the other hand if you are bored with Android and don't want yourself to be tempted to flash roms again and again, you can buy a blackberry.
If you don't care about equalizers and audio effects, go for a windows
7 phone. Mango RTM (released to manufacturers) update is already available and official will be available after September 27.

I don't think anyone could have said it better
I had a Blackberry curve for about 4 days before I decided I hated it. I went back to the store and traded it for my P500h.
The blackberry is just simply a phone with some gadgets added to it and lots of messaging and email capability.
The android it just so much more than that. There are so many things which the blackberry comes short, like media playing, customization, games, file management, user modification, etc. It just seems silly to go back to something so rudimentary in comparison. But if all you want is a phone that does email, messaging, calling, and some music playing, get a blackberry. Or better yet, get a cheaper not so smart phone and get the same thing.
If you want an android phone with the look and feel of a blackberry you could get a motorola droid pro.

The only pro of Blackberry over other smartphones is... the userbase.
Some people are already attached to their BBMs and with these people a lack of BBM will cost you socially or in business when you find yourself out of the loop. If you're faced with that situation, then you can say you need a Blackberry.
For other cases, with the same price you can get a much better phone running Android, Windows or even Symbian. Alternatively, get a cheap, old model Blackberry for BBM and another mid-range Android with custom ROM for everything else you want out of a Smartphone.

Working with, repairing and selling both phones I see it as a wash. If someone is looking for a "in your hand" media phone, I push the Epic. It has an attractive screen and media optimizations that the MoPho doesn't have. If someone is looking for "and the kitchen sink" phone, I push the MoPho. It's screen and media playback falls short of the Epic but has amazing expansion capabilities. Granted I avoid iPhones like the plague (sheeple products annoy me) but if the customer can barely understand their hero/moment then I point them towards an iPhone. If I didn't need the MoPho's feature set I would have gone with the Epic.
(Please note that the 3D abomination is not in the above paragraph. That's one POS I will not sell to anybody. Almost every 3D that comes in for service ends up getting replaced.)
I ended up going through 4 evo 3D's before switching to photon. That phone is a POS. HTC really let me down man and I got that sucker on launch day. After the Evo 3D I used a Nexus s for a month which was another plastic POS by Samsung (also garbage). Photon was my first moto android device and they won me over...for now. That said, I agree with the guy above me 100%.

Just random issues Samsung phones usually have. At home I can get a solid 9mb on 4G consistently and her ET maxes out at 4/5mb tops right next to mine. Signal isn't all that great in our home (same problem I had with the nexus s). Phone feels very cheap as compared to the photon or 3D. She likes it but then again she likes whatever phone you put in her hand. I'd say she's not the most tech savvy person out there so she wouldn't know what works etc. I know though...the small issues drive me nuts lol. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the excellent radio moto has in this thing now! Sammy's are known for weak radios just ask the original iPhone 4 owners

if having a phone that lags on its own OS, has a screen that looks like bees painted it with there asses, has very little dev support, no plans of getting ics ota update, and has a return rate of 45% (at my store)... I don't know how u would even think about calling this phone an upgrade over the galaxy s ii.
The only thing holding this phone off from being 100% crap is its radio, GSM card slot, and it being sold in stores (best buy, target, and Walmart) for only $50 to $100 bucks.

You mad bro? Lol
Motorola hasnt denied any of its latest phones only stated which ones are getting it first for sure. They made this very clear with an official statement. I believe this phone will see ICS q1 2012 same with the epic touch (which is a plastic PIECE OF **** with a nice screen). That's all Samsung phones have going is the screen. And dev support? Who says we don't have any? We have enough dev support; let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks a new rom is when someone takes a base, removes a few apps and adds a theme? (i.e the evo 4G/3D forums). This phone has webtop, kernel devs and a dedicated cm7 dev and others chip in. What else do you need?
Epic touch is a joke with a shiny screen, I can say that because I have one right next to me. Get real kid..

Yeah its a good phone though. As much as i like it I may get a 4s lol. Just want to something different right now. I really wish sprint had a wp7 phone with a large screen man. I have the HTC arrive as a backup right now and I love the os.
So phone season's coming around and we have a good idea of the phones that will come to sprint. I'm wondering what phones you would get if/when you dump the Evo 3D.
-Galaxy Nexus
-SGSIII
-HTC OneX
If your are going to get a different phone, please tell us which it is in the comments.
Personally, I'd want the Galaxy SIII, but I've had nothing but good experiences with HTC (heh, misspelled THC the first time) so I might go for the OneX. Plus, a lot about the OneX seems pretty good.

If Apple wasn't so obsessed with having their OS all over their products, and the iPhone also had an android version, I would be all over that.
I think iOS is smooth and overall great, but it just feels too limited for me to use. Even after jailbreaking, you still feel like the whole OS is just an app drawer.

Think I'm going to go with the gnex. I'm very interested in the SIII, but my upgrade is up in June and I highly doubt Sprint will have it ready to go around then
right now its looking like the one x for me......unless I get wind if another powerhouse coming. One x rumored June so I'm going with the best available at that time so one x it is.
I can't really see me going Samsung so sgs3 is probably not an option. I'm liking the s4 specs and camera on the one x is a huge improvement. I see dev being great on that one.

I don't like being constrained. I was an early adopter of the g1, I broke a few and didn't have money to buy a new one. I got an iPhone 3g real cheap from att.

The customization and community/developer support makes the possibilities endless for Android. iPhone has some great things but you still can't change the default look and feel of iOS. I get bored with looking at the same thing all the time.
Firstly, I've chosen the Android over iOS simply because Android OS is smarter as we all call smartphone. How is it smarter? We all know.
Secondly, variety of choices, more options.
Thirdly, it's cheaper.
And to OP, "Droid" and android are two different things. Droid as you capitalize the letter D, is a phone. Start using correct terminologies.
Switched to Android after WM 6.5 was declared dead. Didn't care for the backwards direction I saw WP7 heading.

This is hilarious.
I use Android because of the ability to do so much customizing without needing to void the warranty. I carried a myTouch 3G and iPhone3G at the same time for a number of months (almost a year). My iPhone icon grid looked like every other iPhone, but no two Android phone's home screens look the same.
I'm not cool enough for an iphone.
I am really temped to replace my iPhone with this phone. I'm just afraid I'll regret all of the sync able stuff, the iMessage, FaceTime, and the complete stable iOS platform. Any advice?
with facetime, imessage is all apple only crap. you'll just have to get them to download tango so their apple software can be compatible with everyone else
You get 2 weeks to return the phone so why not give it a try

I have a guy on Craigslist that wants to trade his lte for my iPhone. So there'd be no turning back. That's why I'm asking.

iOS is not more stable than android. That's a huge myth. There have been studies that have been dine that show iOS crashes more than android. The difference is android actually tells you when it crashes so you can find a solution. Apple tries to hide it from the user.

You couldn't pay me to use an iphone

I've used both iOS and Android for a really long time.
I gave my iPhone 4S to my dad who barely speaks English because it's sooo basic. It's like a kids toys which is limited to the max. I never felt like I had a "machine" to play with. I felt like I had a flip phone which was only good for talking and texting. Even the web is very limited.
I'm not being biased. I really felt limited with the iPhone. (If you look at my Avi hard enough, you'll see the pic is taken with iPhone.)
The only things I miss about the iphone:
-Good front camera (the colors were better)
-imessage. (although there are 3rd party solutions, and group texting solutions, it was just easier)
All of these features and more are available in the LTEVO, and the LTEVO does it better... FAR better.
I'm not biased. If the iPhone was the best, I would own it, but it is not (given that the iPhone 5 is on the near horizon).
My wife owns the 4s, and it's more of a mobile problem, than a mobile solution, and my benchmark tests 1:1 show the LTEVO as the clear winner.

My cousin got a 4S, hated it, and got an S3 (similar to the EVO) and loves it.

I have a LTE and my wife has a 4s. I can't stand the apple and hate having anything to do with it. Tried to talk her into a LTE but it was too big for her lol. She came from a iPhone 4.

just dont rip anyone off in the process, duke
I went from the EVO to the 3d to the 4s and literally waited around for the LTE to come out not liking the 4s.
Essentially it comes down to what you like. As nonbiased as these guys/girls want to act they really aren't. No disrespect btw, you'll see my point in a sec.
You came to the LTE forum asking if you should change and why.....now go to the apple forum and ask this and see their "nonbiased" answers. Most of my friends have and love iPhones but they are also not tech junkies, I am. I liked the freedom Android gave me and missed it so I came back. I also liked the OS platform in Android and again the freedom to customize it at will to my specific taste. My Android doesn't look like anyone elses and theirs doesn't loom like anyone else's either. Apple you get different wallpaper lol.
Also, "jailbreaking" is very glitchy IMHO and way more trouble then what you really unlock. Android rooting actually gives you almost unlimited potential to the phone and a rooted Android phone with stock os IMHO is more stable then a jailbroken iPhone. It's also not reliant on a pc or program to reset or do stuff with. I've updated my Rom and stuff on my phone a ton of times and I can't remember the last time I hooked it into my pc. Freedom.
Notice I am saying Android and not LTE btw, just my opinion and experience. It just boils down to what you want to do with the phone. They both essentially do the exact same things. Same apps same calls same text ect...
For the record I still have my 4s, use it as a back up some times. I did like group messaging and the battery but I jailbroke it and battery sucked. Known issue. Plus these devs have gotten these roms to far surpass the iPhone battery no exaggeration.

Thanks guy. Suppose to be meeting up with him today, I'll let you all know if I decide to switch.
I dumped my 4s 3 weeks ago and am very glad with my decision. I got bored as hell with the iPhone very quick after years on android. Couldn't stay away for long. Customizing android is like crack, you just can't stay away for very long.
