Blackberry not doing it for me anymore. Kinda like I don't get a boner from it so i need something new.


Android or Iphone.

Things i am looking for

I want to put music on it and not drain my battery as bad the blackberry.

Easy interface with many feature
 
Android. Only get an iPhone if you have an affinity for receiving anal sex from guys who wear backpacks, horn rimmed glasses, and have a journal they carry everywhere.
 
will android drain the battery with music. Don't have any intel on this one.
 
Any time you turn a phone on and use it, it drains the battery:-p
 
I'd hold on a little longer if you could. Android is almsot as good as iphone now, but not quite. If you can last like half a year max with your phone it will pay off big time. It also means you can see how far Nokia and Windows phone get but also you can compare android and iphone too :)
 
Based on your criteria, I would say you should go with the iPhone. I am only going on what you have said you require, otherwise I would say go with Android.
 
Thirded i hope to get my sprint version of the Galaxy S2 tomorrow. Awesome phone but theyre are other options. I shall return to my vacation..... now. Im at work on break lol.

The LG has a 2.3 update out so dont worry about the OS. Id say neither but between the two its almost either. Grab the LG. Tegra 2 isnt all that but its still good.
 
stay away from the sony; my daughter & ex both have the LG Optimus. Download doubletwist app to transfer your music onto your phone; especially, if you have iTunes.
 
thing i like about the sony one is the sliding thing so i can type faster like i can with blackberry.

Yeah fast i wished the Galaxy S 2 had a keyboard version like the original S. But with voice to text, swipe, other means of typing better. You almost get over it.

Damn balls you need an upgrade. Wouldnt a thunk an outrageous spender like you would be on an Optimus. It was okay new but these days the horror. A 12MB non movable to sd application is like horror on the 130mb of internal usable on those. Unless you mean the Optimus X.
 
Sony phones are incredibly unreliable; LG aren't much better in my experience. Mind you, that experience is a couple of years out of date by now =]
 
When I switched to Verizon a few months ago. I first got the LG Revoloution. The battery on it was a POS. Took it off of the charger at 12:30 pm and had to put it back on the charger at 6:00 pm. Because there was 10% of power left on it. So the next day I exchanged it for the Samsung Charge. All because I didn't read the reviews by the customers. I would've avoided the LG in the first place.
 
I dont know if LG have got better recently but never touch sony mate. Literally NEVER! I had a Sony W995. Went wrong 6 times!!! So I had to dump it and flog it to some envirophone website thing. Don't touch sony it's just a accident waiting to happen

LG used to have quality control problems. Don't know if they have gotten better but I don't know anyone with an LG

I have an iPhone4 and I can listen to music all day long on less than one battery life. The reason is you can listen to music while your phone sleeps. As we all know it's the light that drains the battery and depending how many games you play etc... I can get through a day without a charge with normal use (and listening to music) but I play games on my constantly so I have to charge during the day one time.

P.S. I had an Inspire (Android) and I hated it. I will never buy another Android. I got poor reception, it wasn't user friendly and it suck the HELL out of my battery.

Your reason for this applies to every other android phone I have laid my hands on. Screen is off on myne and the processor throttles down. I have yet to test it for music only. I abuse battery life so my results tend to suck. That said my first day I had 14 hours and I have seen 21 out of it so far.

The battery on the inspire is terribly small at 1230mah. The battery in my last non smart phone wasnt even that small lol. OS has much less todo with the reception, though improperly coded firmware from the manufacturer can have an effect on this. You went from budget hardware to something much better and you got better results as I would expect. Nothing wrong with an iPhone but Apple wouldnt have ever made something like the Inspire.

The phone I actually wanted thats not available in the US has a 2500 mah battery in it ftw.
