They both are great phones. A matter of personal preference, I would say.

I myself like Android. Works fine for me. Not tied to itunes and a lot more freedom of usage. That is, unless you jailbreak the iphone.

Many users have told me it is worth getting the iPhone just to be able to run Fx Cal. Sorry for the shameless plug And several of my users have told me they have jailbroken a 4 to tether without paying AT&T.

I have an iphone and would drop it and get a droid in a minute, just for the tethering feature.

Verizon Iphone has option for a personal hotspot. $20/month. Works great.
Still can do Wi-Fi if you choose.

I use pdanet to connect my droid (also available for iphone) to my laptop. There is a one time fee of 15 dollars and works great. I can even stream videos.

Or wait till they get the bugs worked out. I learned my lesson with updating my iPhone 3G to 4.0 right away. Patience grasshopper!
