    Agreed. I honestly think the iPad is useless. as is a lot of tablets.

    No FLAC support is kind of lame, but i have a free FLAC converter so its not a HUGE deal. its just one more step.

    But ive ran CyanogenMod on my OG droid, my Incredible 2, and Droid X, and didnt really like it. I actually prefer MIUI. (yes ive had all three, so im not as thick headed as most fan boys).

    Let this statement end the argument:

    Apple has its flaws here and there, and so does Samsung/Android. lovability of either system is in the eyes of the beholder. Obviously im not going to say the sIII is the best phone out there when i rock an iPhone 5. Same thing for sIII users.

    So lets all just realize that what they use is best for themselves and that's all that matters. Now lets all have a huge pile of kiss and make up with the girl in my sig pic.

    i’m considering the Droid RAZR maxx. i still like the iphone 5 tho. one i change the music on my phone all the time, so it’s supper easy to change it/sync with my itunes and i can even down load a song from itunes on my macbook to iphone thru bluetooth. also +’s for iphone are both brothers and dad have the 4 or 4s, and i can facetime. i know their is apps that work with both iphone and android that works like face time. i love the camera setting on the RAZR MAXX tho.

    I have had iPhones for as long as they been out and never had problems with the OS. They just work and work well. Although Samsung makes great products too.

    With Android, depending on the manufacturer, will change look and feel of the phone. Each company likes to add their own user interface on top of the basic Android OS. Some more heavy than others. Gives people more choices though. Personally, I think Samsung and HTC are the best. Not a fan of Moto or LG phones, UI or hardware. But if I don't like the stock UI, I have several choices in the market to customize to my liking.

    Everyone and their mom makes Android tablets now. This is where I see more PC brands like Toshiba, Acer, Asus, etc. making tablets even though they don't make phones. There are also a lot of no-name brands, most of them are cheap quality, running very outdated versions of Android. This could ruin someone's first time Android experience.

    I just sold my iPhone and picked up the HTC one x. Phone is so awesome compared to my old phone. iPhone just has a very bland OS to me. Maybe I was just bored of using mine for so long lol. Idk, but I'm really liking the android OS.

    Does anyone have any input on how well each of these phones pulls in signal? I'm on Verizon and my current phone doesn't get a good signal at work, so before I upgrade I've been trying to find info on this to help me decide on which phone to go with.
