I love my AT&T iPhone and hope to get a 4Gs today.... I know, "patience grasshopper..."

An MD guy, I like having the ability to use the phone internationally. I would be interested in what other guys use internationally and their service provider plus costs.

I have the iPhone 4 jailbroken and used as a wireless hotspot. No complaints here. Actually using my iPad tethered to my phone as I type this. It would be nice to be able to use flash player sometimes though.

Another consideration. I think the iPad is still the premier pad/tablet and in particular the premier aviation pad/tablet. So even if your phone analysis is a toss up or even slightly favors a droid for some reason, it would be much easier to live with one product set for buying apps and syncing personal info if you plan to buy an iPad at some point in the future. (And thanks for all the compliments on FxCal)

appDude,

I'll personally guarantee many more compliments on FxCal when you develop it for us Android users (I would have the iPhone for just that app, but am on Sprint, with too good of a deal to give up...)

Iphones available today at Sprint.

This is the reason for my question. My droid busted the usb pins, can't charge and is basically dead.

A week after I got my Droid I was praying for the next 103 weeks to pass quickly so I could get a new phone. Now I'm two years older, which sucks, but I get my new iPhone this week.

iPhone for sure. With iCloud it automatically updates all your computers when you change any contacts, music, pics etc..pretty slick. Also Siri is pretty amazing.
