    Here is my 2 cents worth (maybe less)....

    I am an IT consultant. I spend my entire life solving problems or fixing things that are broken, or both, on a large scale.

    I have been an iPhone user since the first 3G came out.

    I am not a fanatical Apple disciple, but in my personal life, I like things that just work without any fuss.

    Yes you have to have an iTunes account, yes you are locked in to a format but guess what, you also have access to a gazillion apps for just about every conceivable thing you can possibly dream you want to do, and they work, and they're cheap.

    I also have an iPad, which I love and wouldn't travel without it. Everything syncs up between the 2.

    It would take a lot for me to switch now.

    I don't have an Apple tattoo, but I'm pretty happy with my iPhone4 for calls/SMS, email, photos and occasional web/forum access. With Telstra it simply "just works", and even my wife can drive it pretty easily.

    My daughter who generally loves Apple products (has Macbook Pro, iPad, iPod etc) decided to move from iPhone to a HTC recently (don't recall which model) as she was sick of being boxed in with what she could do with the iPhone. Loves the new phone, except that she doesn't even get a full day out of the battery whereas she used to get 2-3 days out of her iPhone.
    Talking to a mate on the weekend also with a new HTC his experience is similar regarding battery life.

    My wife is with Vodafone and has a low end Nokia. Coverage in Australia sucks, but roaming overseas can be cheaper compared to roaming with Telstra etc as Vodafone have their own network in many countries.

    I have an iPhone 4S (work phone) and lashed out and bought a Samsung S3 for a personal phone.

    They both have their good and bad points.
    I don't find having to use iTunes a big issue as some seem to.
    The iPhone is a bit easier to use and set up, but there's not that much difference.
    I use Mudmap HD on the iPhone (and iPad) they don't have and Android app.
    If it came to a choice I would most likely choose the iPhone if I could only have one.

    Used to love Motorola phones, then you couldn't get them.

    Got an iPhone and it talked to my Macbook. Backed up everything so easily.

    Phone went for an accidental swim in the sea, bit sad seeing the flash for the camera come on like a light of life without having any control to switch it off and knowing it's soon to be dead.

    Straight into Telstra, new iPhone and sim, get home plug it into the Mac and it says something like "I see you have a new iPhone, would you like to install your last phone settings?' or similar.

    Tick the appropriate boxes, 5 mins later I have my new 'old' phone with everything I had before. All contacts, music, photos, etc.

    That'll do me thanks.
