Default iPhone 4 or Droid Incredible 2?

Finally getting into the smart phone world and trying to decide on which phone to get.

The iPhone seems so simple to use but I like the look and feel of the droid better. I aready have an iTouch so getting an iPhone seems like the way to go for ease of music and apps loading. What do you guys think?

If you're new to smartphones then yeah, I'd say iPhone, phuck the h8ters.

But if you do get an android phone, make sure it's a Samsung, because the others have shitty screens & cameras IMO.

Neither of those phones has LTE capability, wait for something like the Droid Bionic or youll probably regret it.

I have the Inc 2, love it. course I came from the original Droid. much faster and smoother. have had a few little glitches, such as my phone for a day trying to ad 0015 to the front of every number even voicemail, resulting in the call not going through...

and now, my wifi doesn't want to connect, though think that's cause the guy at the verizon store didn't know what he was doing and when trying to sort out the 0015 issue, fucked up my wifi...

as for LTE... I"m in MS for the next 2-3 years, LTE isn't coming to me any time soon and I don't spend hardly any time in a LTE market. so that was pointless. also the Thunderbolt (if not rooted) searches for LTE all the time so your battery life SUCKS.

as for droid v iPone... it's what ever, I prefer Droid as I like having the open market... but it's up to you, I probably won't root this phone for a while... as it's perfect for what I need right now.

I dont know when were getting LTE in my city either but Im in the market for a new phone, also have the original Droid, and I figure I have nothing to lose by getting an LTE capable handset.

Have you gone to the stores and played with them? We're all partial to what we actually use so its really all up to your personal preference.

The new Samsung Charge has better battery life than the Thunderbolt.

With the exception of me...I hate my Evo. I nearly threw it out the sunroof of my car the other day. I'll never buy another droid.

Ahhh, i thought you had already switched to the Iphone...Ihave to say, hands down, its the simplest phone I've ever messed with, easy to use and great for ANYTHING I need it for.
