Me and my family are HTC users. I have an Incredible S, she has a new One S and the boy has an HT7. All work great and have access to marketplace/play store. Lots of great apps, great quality cameras etc, etc. We are all happy.
I loved my iPhone4 before it was stolen. I will be replacing it with the iPhone5 when it comes out. This is my only Apple product (not a Mac lover) but it does everything I need it to do and more.
But try out the demo phones and see what you like. Android phones ususally expose more under the covers and if you are into the work of tuning everything just right, and you like the Android UI, it may be fine.
Next time d.load the app "find my I phone" to your laptop.
It works with I-pads also and will locate your phone on a map and you can also lock it and erase all the data remotely from your laptop.
Unfortunately it is still apple and I thought MS was bad for bugs and crashes.
The best phone of mine is iPhone 4s. I am very much impress by the apps in 4S specially the SIRI because it plays all role for you in routine business as well as personal life. The tablet of iPad also helps me to maintain all data.
I got Siri trained,she is my bitch and knows it now.We even had an argument the other day.
I purchased a Sony handycam last month,the I-phone camera is allmost as good as the sony.This is from my phone.
