I'm not adding a poll because this is a personal question, and I want answers to why I should get one over the other.
I'm thinking about buying the Droid RAZR MAXX, but I'm also leaning close to the iPhone 4s. I really enjoy the capabilities of both. It's just I don't own either, or never used one. So I wouldn't know the problems with each.
Basically, if anyone has any clue of the Pros and Cons on both of these devices. Please say so below.

From my keyboard, launcher, lock screen, SMS app, widgets, I like making my phone mine. I do believe it is a little bit faster than the iPhone, but not much. Also the 4G LTE is really nice, especially now that it's in my town. The people at Verizon told me that even with 3G the RAZR has a better antenna than the iPhone. The camera is also superior to the iPhones, and having 1080p HD video is great for recording videos. The mini HDMI port is a plus also, but I haven't even used it yet. The only problem I do have sometimes is freezing. I never had my iPhone freeze, but it's happened a couple of times with my Droid. The software can be buggy at times, and isn't quite as seamless as iOS. I very rarely have these issues, though. You can simply reset by holding down the power and volume down buttons. The positives far outweigh the negatives. I can answer any specific questions if you have any, since I've owned both phones.[/quote]Thank you for this :) Umm, I have a few more questions about this. From both devices, if your ever used it, how is the GPS? I heard that they both have GPS, and I would like to know which one is the best. And with my job, I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling (hence the GPS part), and I would like to see my girlfriend and family a lot. How is Skype on the MAXX and how is it on the iPhone? How is the video quality? Like I said, I'm leaning more towards the MAXX, so if you could specify more on that phone, that would be great. But I still would like a comparison with the two. Thanks :)

As others have said, wait until the iPhone 5 is released to make your decision. If you don't like what the iPhone 5 has to offer, consider the iPhone 4S, as it will most likely get discounted when the iPhone 5 is released. I'd definitely wait before making the purchase seeing as how September 12th, the day of Apple's announcement, isn't much of a wait.
-
My suggestion is: go to your local Verizon store and play around with the display models. Also, do some research.
-
iPhone 5 will come out next month and more than likely have something good.
-
Whichever OS you like better.

It's an upgrade for to the 4 intended for people who don't have an iPhone to begin with.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] im am b0red Do people seriously still question Androids superiority? iphone is -blam!-. Get any Android. [/quote] Something like 65% of all smartphones shipped in Q2 were Android phones. I'm not sure why people think iPhones are the end-all, be-all of smartphones.

I would say the Maxx myself. But that's only because I'm partial to Android (Galaxy Nexus user). Another advantage for the Maxx is that it has 4G capabilities, which is substantially faster than Verizon's 3G network. AFAIK, the iPhone 4S is 3G only on Verizon (I'm assuming your comparing the Verizon versions since the Maxx is only on Verizon). Granted, that sort of depends on what your doing. If your just checking Facebook, you won't notice much. But I often use 4G for downloading music and videos and such and it seems more reliable for streaming services. Probably because its comparable to a home cable connection (I kid you not, I've gotten 35 Mbps down before). [Edited on 08.10.2012 7:53 PM PDT]

That's why they named it the 4s and not the 5.
-
Just got the iPhone 4S, and personally I love it. Very well supported.
-
iPhone's are so simple and easy to use. Most of your music is probably already run through iTunes, so this will make it just that much easier. It's a pretty easy choice.
-
I like the 4S because of the way iOS' user interface is set up. I've also never had to do a clean restore because of firmware issues.
-
Galaxy S3. Iphone is outdated as -blam!-. So if anything I would go with the Droid.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mityman50 iPhone 5 is probably coming out in a little over a month.[/quote] This. iPhone 5 should be out in a month. The 4s will probably be discounted too.
