Droid is a joker. Bottom line, if you want something the size of a table tray in your pocket, maybe.. They all try to use the same lay out as the iPhone. Been there done that. Not to mention Cs with App is great, anyone else is just ok at best.

Honestly if you work a job were you use data continuously, aka medical field, the iphone screen is a joke. And the new one will be. I even had a good full "pro" mac friend move to a droid phone just for the screen. He still uses the mac pro, but admitted the iphone had faults.

So get a job that you literally use the phone all day, and it really changes. All IMO.

Again all opp, If you need a phone the size of a tablet or iPad then ya the droid might prevail, but what ever. My reason for switching out from was for the size. The 5 will be rite in that snooker area. In my exp the iPhone has been a 10 over the galaxy, droid. It has never kicked me out of a program, has never locked up. I would have to totally turn my phone off, pull the battery on some instances. Even the 4g droids in my area are slower to load then my pathetic 3g iPhone. No matter what it is. Again all a pref, but my op is the iPhone has did every thing better above and beyond all my droid devices.

Thats the way you put it, as in the the '' Screen'' unless I am missing something, againall is in opp, pref. Have fun with that phone. This wasn't a thread about whats better, it was about who is getting one.

I have the same deck! And it's awesome! Plus my 4s is jailbroken, and my pandora has unlimited skips now. Idk if I want to give up either of those!

That would e nice to jailbreak it and have unlimited skips. I called them about a money ago and they said once its come available (Iphone5) they will have something out to fix it. I love this deck as well. I got it after they broke into my truck and to about 200 plus CDs, so I asked the insurance to upgrade to this one. I wish I had the BT one but oh well

Old School brick Nokia FTW! I could play snake all day long, had service everywhere, and it even doubled as a hammer. Didn't have to worry about screens, data, or cameras. Those were the good ol days!!!

I was so happy when they went away from the Motorola Brick to the first decent Motorola flips like the Startac...... And now we go full circle to some brick that is trying to double as a laptop..... Pass.

I have a "highly technical" job and I have zero use for a smart phone. If I need to remote into the plants DCS from home it can wait until I have a real computer screen. Some of the guys do it with their Droids and Iphones but it's retarded, and difficult to navigate....

Thanks but I will keep buying Motorola W385's and rocking them.... Not to mention the service it gets to operate as an actual phone is great.....

But that's okay because some burger flipper, Walmart Greeter, Sandwich Artist, lube bay monkey will tell me "I'm old school and don't understand technology"..... Uh-huh, okay rockstar.
