There is better stuff out there than the iphone. Iphone is just a household name so everyone thinks it is a God-like item when in reality there is just as much if not more you can do with Android. Especially more free apps, customization options, and adobe flash, replacement batteries, cheaper handset cost, and thus far 4g data capabilities (not that USC has that out yet but other carriers do and it is not with the iphone).

While the iphone is a cool device, to think that it is the only thing that can provide what you want in a smartphone is really limiting your view.
