So, for ease of use and maintenance and ease of "someone else helping or using the phone", the IPhone wins.
a) Things I like BETTER on the android:
1) navigation is turn-by-turn spoken directions (You can use Mapquest free on the iPhone for the same type of experience).
2)When you get to your destination, StreetView pops up a picture of where the front door is!!
3) I can use Google Voice to make all my calls on the android (which is nice because I tend to give out my google voice number as my primary number). It doesn't smoothly work to make my voicemail=google voice, though. I tried and tried.... once it worked.
b) things I DONT like about the android.
1) No way to do a complete phone backup as iTunes does. When you have to reset, you have to go get the apps again and redo your settings. (no I KNOW it was supposed to prompt me for the download of the available apps.... it didn't.... get over it)...
2) I found myself adding same apps .... on different screens. IPhone adds it just once.
3) unless you went third party, no built in way to manage/copy stuff over from the PC. Bummer.
4) inconsistent pairing with my Blueant. It always picks up the IPhone, I have to keep tinkering to get the android noticed. Not cool while driving.
5) I can hold iPhone in one hand easily and do simple functions. I really can't with the android, call my hands too small!
6) turning on the screen. The button on the side is not nearly as fast as hitting the round home button. especially in a case.
C) Things that the IPhone just does more smoothly.
1)Music: iTunes makes a pretty good manager of playlists, podcasts, pictures
2) pinch and zoom - works so much smoother on the IPhone for pictures, maps, etc.
3) trust-able app store. when searching on the android, the safe ones got intermingled with the sleazy ones.
4) consistent look/free of apps/iPhone behaviour.
d) things I wish the IPhone would do better.
Let me out of the barrier between apple apps and other functions, like using dropbox and printing.
