One consideration in deciding which platform; do you also have a pad, and if so which platform? For instance, if you have and like an iPad, then I'd suggest sticking with an iPhone. You can make things work across platforms, but it won't be as smooth. That said, I personally like Android and plan to stick with it. My wife is considering switching from Android to iPhone next time out since she has an iPad. I've had a lot of acquaintances come to me for platform advice. One question I ask them is; if you have a problem with your PC do you enjoy jumping right in and tackling it yourself, or do you do it only after exhausting all other alternatives? If you are the kind to jump right in, then you are a techie, and Android may be best for you. Otherwise you just want it to work without fiddling, and you are therefore destined for an iPhone. This is not a diss on Android - I am a fan, but to get the best experience it takes more tinkering since Android does not control the interface as tightly as IOS does, therefore apps are free to misbehave/innovate more, therefore allowing/requiring more tinkering.
