So anyone made the transition from apple to droid or vice versa?

I had an evo 4G before going to the Iphone 4s and love it. Just cracked the screen and Sprint will pay me $156 for it even broken and as I said in op early upgrade is only $125

I have an semi-outdated Motorola DeFy XT that I use.  It's Android.  I get my service through a place called Republic Wireless out of Raleigh that has a technology on the phone that can make calls and texts through your WiFi connection, so when I'm at home or wherever I get WiFi, it goes through that.  Because of that, and their hope that customers use the WiFi, I get unlimited Sprint 3g data/calling when not on WiFi for only about $22 a month.  You can buy the phone right now for like $150 I believe and then $22 a month, and no contracts.

 

The phone itself is ok, I do facebook and browse on it, which is mainly the most I'd do.  I'm not a big phone user since I'm usually on a PC at home/work or have a tablet so it's good times and much, much cheaper than anything else.  They are supposed to offer some new phones this summer though, probably more up to date.  I kind of hate Sprint but if you're home on WiFi or anywhere on WiFi it's really a non issue since calls are through that.

 

I just don't want to pay $150 a month to get something like verizon for the wife and I.

In the last ~4 years I've gone from slider to android to blackberry to flip phone to blackberry to iphone to flip phone and back on android now.

Yeah I'm that guy who will take your old phone when you upgrade. I have another blackberry (torch, I believe) that I have never been able to jailbreak/unlock. the phone I have now is a Samsung galaxy exhibit II 4G. it was $70, supposed to be a prepaid t-mobile phone, but I just use it with my existing contract.

It runs android 2.3, so its definitely got its bugs: constant crashes, volume issues, etc.

I like the ios most of all, but FFS apple, put an SD card slot on that thing and let me charge it with a normal USB cable. who the hell pays $100 for an extra 8GB of storage?

Have a Galaxy Nexus that I love.  With that said, the day the Note III comes out my Nexus will be used as a bedside alarm clock from now on!

I have a galaxy s3 but I'm getting a galaxy note 2

Everyone in my house has an iPhone and an iPad mini. I think the iPhone does everything right and I have never had an issue so i have stuck with it. It's a great phone overall I would be tempted to try a galaxy or other Droid as they seem to be coming out with more unique features. Siri notwithstanding.

Xperia Play. Awesome phone because it turns into a controller and I can play any ROM on it.

I have the Blackberry Z10 and I like texting on it more than any other phone. The predictive keyboard isn't invasive.

HTC One and I love it, great feel than the plastic of a S4, solid aluminum frame, nice screen and camera. Beats by Dre audio with two front speakers. I like it a lot and I had a S2 and S3 and opted for this over the S4

Yea I love my phone, over a year and a half since it was released, and it still isn't really showing signs of it's age.  Manages the the new OS fine, and don't really have issues with apps lagging despite having a ton of stuff on it.  The battery life is awesome too for a phone with such a big screen...
