[QUOTE="nateberrier, post: 7687655, member: 612014"] Every Android phone on sprint is 50-100-200 dollars cheaper than the iphone. The hardware is outdated when they drop it and all they have to do is stick an S or up the number on the end for everyone to drop 300 on a new one. I had the original iphone for a long time and the 3g for a bit as well. I was one of the first to have one. At that time Android wasnt in existence and when it was, there wasnt much to it. I kept the apple because it does work well and I could con my way through 55 bucks a month ultd data on Tmobile haha. I made the switch to the HTC Hero and it was a good phone but the battery ****** and as updates came along it bogged down. Not to my surprise, so did my friends 3gS (the S is for speed luls). As far as speed goes a 4S and most dual core android phones go, you wont notice much difference. Down the road you probably will as the 4S is dual 800mhz and most android phones are 1.2 or 1.5 and with the option to root quite easily, you can overclock etc. iPhone works great, but is a bit of a sandbox and a gimmick (lol Siri, android has built in voice recognition throughout the OS. ) Android has always had a notification bar, and within it you can do a lot more.
