I'm buying a new phone, smartphone, from verizon and i was wondering what is the best choice?

I'm leaning towards droids, like the charge and thunderbolt, but i'm still interested in the iphone so i'm not sure.

The IPhone and the Droid are very similar. Blackberry's are the best phones for socializing. IPhone and Droid I would think is more for games and business.

I would lean towards the Droid thunderbolt I have heard very good reviews on it and an iPhone 5 is coming out in the fall so if you want an iPhone I recommend you wait

I'm also buying a new Verizon smartphone and have decided to wait until August for the Motorola Droid Bionic. If you like the Thunderbolt for it's 4G speed and 1Ghz processor then you'd really like the Bionic. It's also 4G and has a dual-core processor. It's capable of Video chat on Skype and will stream HD video from Netflix.
My wife has an iPhone 4. It's got the longest battery life I've ever seen on a smartphone and has a ton of apps to download and as great as that is I'm still holding out for the Droid Bionic.

I prefer android over apple for the reason that its open-source, that means that the majority of the apps are free, and you get more revolutionary and cutting edge apps. And do things are even only barely available on a jail broken iphone
The android market already has 250000 apps- closing in on apple 500000, some say it will surpass it before the year is over. Also any popular iphone game or game adaptation can be found in the android market for free.
another great thing about android as that if you dont like something (keyboard, homescreen, etc.) it can easily be swapped without jail-breaking, unlike the iphones one-size-fits-all approach.

Security
Both Iphone and android offer equal security, though they have different means of doing it.
iphone, verifies all the apps so you can’t get a virus through an app, but the rest of the phone is semi-vulnerable.
Android does not check the apps, but the apps are run in an isolated way, as to not affect the system in event of a virus.
So both phones are equally prone to viruses (and if this a big deal for you, android has a antivirus app, which iphone does not)

Other features only on android
Turn-by-turn GPS
Better and larger screen
No need to connect to computer to sync
Here is a big one, add a sd card
Better calls
More customizable
More powerful hardware
Flash support, watch ALL the online videos

Apple lovers that say that the iphone is made of better quality material? They don’t realize that Samsung, an android phone maker, supply’s the screen, processor and memory for apple devices, so android has the advantage here.

The iphone is pretty, but not durable, drop it once- it breaks, all that glass around it? That was honestly a mistake. Android manufactures clearly saw that, and decided to do with something a little more durable.

Also apple never invents anything, all they do is steal old technology, give it a fresh coat of paint and mass advertise it as “magical” and “innovating”, thus fooling the mass of the population into believing that apple offers cutting edge technology, that in fact has been around for quite a few years. So instead of innovating, apple actually hinders technology- after 4 years they still have low-power single core phones, while android, an example of technology in overdrive, has rumored that, after their second year, the release of quad core phones that will surpass even some desktop computers in shear processing power.

Also if you’ve seen apples 2011 presentation, they blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android.

1. Notification bar
2. Twitter integration
3. No need to connect to PC to sync
4. Launch apps from lock screen
5. Tabbed browsing

And not only are they copies, but apple didn’t even bother to improve, or change some of them in any way- some even have LESS features than their android counter parts, basically a cheap imitation with the ever-popular iphone skin.
According to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5, and it would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6.But the truly sad part is that due to apples marketing, in a few months, apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycats…yet again.
