iPhone 4 vs. Android vs. Windows Phone 7?
I own an iPhone 3G (8G) but I have already filled up the memory, making it VERY laggy and crashes all the time. I've been looking for a new smartphone with more flexibility than what Apple is allowing me, as far as freeware, customization, and all that goes, so I've really looked into Android. Nevertheless, I have come quite used to my iPhone and all of it's features, so the new phone must deliver, if not, should i just settle for an iPhone 4? (please take in consideration and specify the hardware you are talking about besides the OS!)

Anybody who tells you he's had a Windows Phone has not had a Windows Phone 7, because it's only been out for one month! Similarly, Android phones have come a long way in the last year. The Android phones of a year ago are slow and buggy compared to newer phones like the Droid X, Droid Incredible, myTouch 4G, or Samsung Galaxy phones.
For my money, I'll take Android over iPhone 100 times out of 100. Not only do you have your choice of carriers and form factors (big, small, slide, touch, bar...), you also get much more flexibility and customizability than iPhone, plus lots of functionality you don't get in the iPhone. This includes bigger, brighter screens and cameras, HD video, 4G data speeds, the ability to view flash websites, video chat that's not limited to wifi and specific devices, free turn-by-turn voice navigation, the ability to use your phone as a WiFi hotspot, and huge libraries of widgets which are hard to describe but make your phone so much more useful. Plus unlike the tight-fisted Apple regime, Android manufacturers allow retailers to discount the phones, so you can get outrageously good deals like we've seen this Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, where a lot of the latest phones can be had for free.
My specific recommendations would depend on the carrier. For Verizon ,the Droid Incredible is still my favorite. For AT&T, it's the Samsung Captivate. For Sprint, it's either the EVO or Epic, and for T-Mobile it's the myTouch 4G (though the Vibrant and G2 are also wonderful).
Check out authorized super-dealer Wirefly.com and you'll see a lot of these phones are free or close to free with free activation this weekend. That's called competition. Meanwhile, the iPhone is still tightly restricting distribution and pricing. Bravo to Apple for maintaining its high profit margins, but it's not customer-friendly.

Sorted by the best 1. Android has a lot of features and great apps. Android will have many apps in future. 2. Windows Phone 7 is a good OS. It has good user interface and support Xbox live for gaming. But, it doesn't have copy and paste & multitasking. Microsoft will add those features soon. 3. iPhone's iOS is lack of features and has bad user interface. The phone quality is not good. iOS is far behind Android, Symbian, and WP7

PC and google phones crash tons more than the iphone WITHOUT filling up the memory. They all have quirks and lose their sensitivity on the touch screen as well as running much slower. Stick with apple- just buy more memory.
