Ok so here is the million dollar question or two. Do you like touch screen texting or do you have to have an actual keyboard/key pad. that will make the difference between the three. I think there are still some Androids that have a slide out qwerty keypad, but there was only 1 Blackberry that was a touch screen only device. Narrowing that down will help you rule out at least one of your choices. Now if you have ruled out the Blackberry, I would say go with the Android. That's my personal preference. Both the Androids and the Iphone have lots more apps than the Blackberry and the apps are generally cheaper than Blackberry as well. I like Androids market (ie app store) because it's easy to search through. I think the biggest reason I liked the Android over the iPhone was the screen. My 4g device screen was bigger which is a good thing if you are playing games or watching movie clips. But that isn't true with all Android devices. But the Samsung that I have it is true. The feel of my Android is lighter than the iPhone and the best part about my Android is that I'm not sattled with the 2 carriers that I hate that offer the iPhone. The Samsung I have has a voice texting thing that the iPhone doesn't offer. So if I'm at work and I want to answer a text, instead of sitting there with my phone texting, I can hit that button, say what I want to say and it does a good job of picking up what I say. Then I hit send and it's done. Good luck.

i will go for android because the OS is more stable and faster too... also, i had heard many people switch from iPhone to android because they are experiencing problems with iPhone... as for Blackberry, i can't comment on it as i never use it... i am using android phone at the moment and it is fantastic... take care and have a nice day...

I went from iphone to android and love it. I got tired of having to go to itunes to update my phone. My Android gets automatic updates. Another bonus is the android has so many more applications available and more free applications, as well. Don't be fooled by the latest iphone--they are just like any other technology...outdated in the next couple of months. I love the range of freedom I have with my Android. Good luck in choosing a new phone and I hope you are happy with what you finally decide on!

Android all the way for me, it has such a huge variety of phones of all kinds and also has an ever increasing database of apps free and paid both... you can choose from a compact touch or touch and type to a largely over sized one, and the higher you pay the best technology and features... There is not much variety in Iphones, only got a touch no qwerty... And as of Blackberry, it is only good if you are into messaging people like anything i.e. BBM, and for that your friends have got to have a lots of friends with blackberry too. Android is gonna go very far over the years, with all the updates and all. So you should go for android.

i would pick iphone, between an android and an iphone for me blackberry is out of the question. Iphone had a superior touch sensitivity and no one can copy the sensitivity of the iphone's screen until now. As far as i know android phones are some kind of an imitation of the apple products, ipod touch, iphone, ipad. Apple's technology on their handheld devices

I will vote for android as i am using it since last 1 year.you can have variety for selection of phone and also after buying phone,there are various apps n games according to your taste which are absolutely free and available on android market and the apps which are not free you can get them very cheaply or you can get from internet free by searching some forums..only disadvantage that i found with androis is its battery life..it is very bad for sony n htc i don't know about any other company.

Well.. Personally I like iphone. And I guess everyone here having the different opinion for it. So don't be confused. Both are good. Try to use it both before purchasing it.. I mean check it first if your friend or relative having one. And go for the one you liked. As both are good both will be worthy. About black berry.. I don't have any experience in it. But if you are in apps and gaming more better you choose either iphone or android.

That depends on what your requirement is..If you are addicted to chatting and facebook, blackberry would be the best..In addition, if you already have number of friends who already actively using blackberry messenger chat services..It will be economical since you can do chatting and sending multimedia files for free of charge,even internationally.. However, if you love to watch video on youtube or do surfing, take one of the android or I-phone, particulary Iphone has faster internet connection than others, and also user friendly..If you like to download and try free application, go for android..Almost 50% of their application can be downloaded for free.. Have a nice hunting ...

there is only one phone to go for that is a iphone no doubt about it. I have had for one 4 months now and its fantastic. The iphone is more than just a phone its a computer as well. The applications that you can get on it range from educational(ipads as well as iphones are now being used in schools instead of books) to things to get you through everyday life. you can order a meal on it, scan bar codes in shops to compare prices and you can even use it as a sat nav. Do not get a blackberry as the market share has dropped considerably. They are no longer popular only with school girls who like to text. Android phones will no doubt take a big slice of the mobile phone market because they are cheaper. Yes they have apps but they are like PC's susceptible to virus'. Yesterday the new iphone 4s came out! there is your answer

Actually, i was thinking to get an iphone 5. but they only produced 4s. is a bit pity because i didnt get what i wanted. so for the meantime, is samsung galaxy 5

hi there faizalhakimi89! what im using now is a SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB,the one with the sim card slot,it's one of the android phones of samsung. i'll recommend this to you because it's a total package. it's a semi-laptop phone. everything a laptop does,it does. it has a qwerty keyboard big enough for the fingers to not experience typographical error whenever you txt or encode. its quite bid than an iphone but its a total package. i just discovered a new feature of it,it can SHARE WIFI CONNECTION to other wifi enable gadgets whenevr your connected to the internet. i have a postpaid internet connection so i really can share wifi to my friends. good luck to your choice.;-)

my friend is having it, it is totally awesome. I just wanted something small, so i got these samsung galaxy 5 for me. it is an old model, but fine by my standard. i love it because it has qwerty keyboard and touch screen.

I prefer using android phone instead of buying i-Phone. Not only because it cost a lot of money but also because the freeware services of Android is much more effective than buying all of the applications at i-tune. Cheaper but greater!
