Totally agree, came from a Droid and an X and this thing is amazing! I didn't even have that many problems with my X but the ease of use and the 'just works' feeling are great, and the way better camera doesn't hurt either. App selection is way more varied too.

I completely understand/agree! I went from a hater to a full-fledged fanboy in 6 months... traded my BB for an iPhone4; bought an iPad and traded my HP Windows laptop for a MacBook Pro. At this point, I am convinced that Apple rocks!

Welcome to the "dark side"!

I have Android too but the iPhone is superior to them all. Its a well built device and no battery pulls required. And yes welcome to the dark side.

My love for Apple started 5 years ago with my first ever iMac, then the iPod(s), then the MacBook Pro, then the Apple TV, then the iPad and now to complete the Apple collection, the ViP4!!! Ahhhhhhh...heaven on earth compared to my awful, laggy, choppy, slow, force closing Android I put up with for 14 months to get me by while waiting for the iPhone...

ViP4...Hands down the best smartphone I've ever owned!

I want an iMac!! But yes, I echo everyone's sentiments. I actually had the 3GS on AT&T and like a dummy, I canceled my AT&T service and got the Original Droid when it came out. I regretted that many times. And now, the year is 2000 and eleven....I suspect I will get another Android in 2000 and NEVER!!

BTW, I owned the original Droid, a Samsung Fascinate, LG Ally, HTC Incredible and lastly a Droid X. Honestly, the Incredible was the best of the bunch. The battery life was horrific, but I always had chargers. But as far as being smooth and least amount of FC/battery pulls, it was actually pretty good. At the top of the list on things I miss from Android is the Google Voice navigation. It was very good. I wish we could get that on the iPhone.

And in between all those Droids I owned, I had a Palm Pre Plus

Well I still think Android beats iOS in several key departments. Notifications, deeper level customization and widgets come to mind. However for my tastes, just revamp the notifications. I will take the polish of iOS any day over competing platforms.
