Androids can do almost anything the iPhone can. The iPhone is more expensive, but there are lots of downloads and updates that only an iPhone can receive. If you aren't a phone person, go for the Android, but if you really care about phones, then go for the iPhone 4s.

Get an Android, preferably the Samsung Galaxy S3. The S3 is the best phone in the world right now. It does everything the iPhone does and more and it does it better. The S3 has a bigger battery, a much better screen, 600,000 apps from the Play Store, an amazing version of Android, it has a better camera with more photo fx options, and it has a crapload of more features like awesome gesture controls, and facial recognition unlock.

Iphones may be what the cool kids have, but Android is the way to go. Iphones are limited in personaliztion, and all apps are mostly paid. Android has all the same apps for cheaper, go with ANDROIDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

Why would you want any smartphone and pay over $300/year extra when you can't do something as simple as read the answers given to the last 900 people who already asked this question?

I would steer you away from the iphones 4s because it has battery drainage problems:

Even Steve Wozniak, co-founder of apple says the same thing and that siri is glitchy:

And this is an Apple Legend saying this so you know it has to be bad.

In fact, Siri is so bad there is a class action lawsuit brought against Apple for it not working anywhere near as well as it was advertised.

With android, you get more free apps. For example angry birds is free with android whereas you have to buy it with apple, or use their "free" version which has a big ad blocking part of the screen getting in the way of gameplay.

Furthermore, with iphone you do not get Adobe Flash which is required to view videos on many websites, it is a common complaint among iphone owners. Plus you cannot expand memory with iphone if you run out of space but with android you just add a card up to 32gb and you're good to go.

Android phones are usually superior in technical specs, faster and more customizable. It is the better choice, that is why it leads the global market in smartphones today even with apple selling a lot of their iphones cheap or free.

And despite the Woz saying iphones are easier to use, ANYONE can use android, he had to say SOMETHING nice about apple lol.

Get the android because of these reasons:
1:: Desktop

Instead of just having icons sitting on your phone’s desktop like the iPhone, Android phones can add widgets to the desktop. These widgets usually have an actual purpose. For example:
The Twitter Widget lets you to update your Twitter status from your mobile desktop.
The flashlight Widget allows you to turn on your phones flashlight while staying on the desktop.
The Messages Widget allows you to instantly see your email from the desktop.
The Android desktop is on a completely different level than the iPhone desktop. To compare them is actually unfair.

2: Connectivity

In the menu on an android phone you have four options:
Turn on/off bluetooth
Turn on/off Wifi
Turn on/off Mobile Network
Turn on/off GPS
These buttons let you instantly switch on or off the various connectivity options, which will go a long way toward conserving battery life. There is also an app in the Market called Y5, which will turn off Wi-Fi automatically when no known wireless network is available. To do any of this on the iPhone, you have to go into the Settings screen and navigate your way around the various options.

3: PC connection

Unlike the iPhone, you don’t need to have iTunes to manage your phone. Android can mount the SD card so that it is usable via drag and drop by any operating system. On this you can add music and files, which will then be usable on the phone. Simple.

5: Multi-notification

One of the issues I’ve always had with the iPhone is its notification system. Basically, it depends upon a single system that not all applications have access too. For instance, if you are a Twitterer, you can find out if you have updates only by opening the Twitter app on the iPhone. With Android, the apps have access to the notification system and can all report. The notification bar on the Android phone can alert you to new voice messages, email messages, Facebook notifications, new Gmail, new text messages, and much more. If an app has a notification, it can let you know quickly, and in the background.

6: Endless personalization

I hesitate to place this on the list because so many readers seem to think user-configuration is worthless. It’s not. The Android phone allows users to configure their mobile to look and behave exactly how they want it. If you’re a social network power user, you can have a screen for Facebook, one for Twitter, one for texting, and one for Flickr. Or if you are a business user, you can have a screen for contacts, for your calendar, for gmail, for email, for RSS, and more. Not only can you configure the desktop the way you want, you can configure the behavior of your phone. Set up default actions for different contacts — even add an entirely different desktop, should you want. The possibilities are endless with the Android phone. With the iPhone, you’re pretty much limited to what Apple says.

7: Market

Yes, Apple has an app for that. But so does Android. And chances are, the Android app is free and works as well (or better) than the iPhone app. And, believe it or not, there are thousands of apps in the Android Market. Apple does not (at least yet) have a patent on an application for just about everything. Give it time though. And installing applications on your Android phone is actually easier than it is on the iPhone. For free applications, you don’t have to worry about entering a password every time you try to install anything. And you do not have to link to Apple’s iTunes store to purchase applications from the Android Market. For those apps that have a price, you enter your information on the Google Market one time and you’re done.

8: Google integration

This one is almost not fair, since Android was built with the intention of integrating with Google. But wow does it integrate well. Want to search Google? Simply click the search button, enter your search string, and you’re off and running. Did I mention Google Voice? Yes, the Android has an app for that.

9: Technical Specs

Android has better technical specs with the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3 coming out at the beginning of the year with quad core processors and 2 GB ram.
