text: If you want a solid phone with a bland interface, go with Apple.  If you want an interesting and attractive interface but quirky performance , get an Android.  Pretty much like choosing who you want to date:  the person with the dependable, good personality but just barely good-looking, or the knock-out handsome person who may not be completely reliable.  In smartphones, we are stuck with just two choices, unfortunately.  But, then, how many of us REALLY use our smartphones to their full potential?  Maybe 1% of us.  For the rest of us, they are toys, or worse, status symbols.  We all need to get a life.
