    Unlike the iPhone 4/4S, with the RAZR, you get a larger, stronger screen, your phone is more thin, it has a better processor and higher CPU clock speed, it has more RAM, it is somewhat waterproof, it has a MicroSD card slot, it has a micro HDMI port to stream Netflix and movie rentals from the Android Market to your HDTV, you have turn-by-turn GPS navigation w/ speech AND it works on Verizon's LTE network.

    Internet is faster with the RAZR as well. With the iPhone 4S you get 1mb/s download on Verizon's network and less than 1mb/s upload. With the RAZR on Verizon's LTE network I've topped at 30mb/s download and 20mb/s upload.. That exceeds what the vast majority of American's have at home.

    I upgraded to the 4S and sold it for the RAZR. I have not a single regret doing so. I had them both side by side, and both have equivalent resolution even with the iPhone having higher resolution. It ISN'T something you can tell in real life, and with the larger screen on the RAZR, it makes it appear more lovely.

    The guy above me noted: "With Android you can also download non-Market apps without rooting (rooting is like jailbreaking but for Android). However, Android is not as secure as iOS."

    Keep in mind there is a setting to not allow ANY apps outside Android Market to be downloaded to your phone, so no worries about that.

    Both phones have excellent hardware - it comes down to the operating system you want. And that depends on what you use your phone for the most.

    iOS is the best mobile operating system for those who spend most of their time playing games or doing basic web browsing. It is a good choice if you are happy with the limitations of the iPhone’s hardware (no removable battery, can’t borrow someone else’s charger of they don’t have an iOS device). However, navigation on the iPhone is not as good as Android’s.

    You want Android if you don’t spend that much time gaming - Android has a very limited number of games in Android Market. If you use your phone for business or navigation, then you want an Android. With Android you can also download non-Market apps without rooting (rooting is like jailbreaking but for Android). However, Android is not as secure as iOS.

    iPhone 4s! It is hands down the most amazing phone I have ever had. Since I got the iPhone 4s i rarely EVER get on my computer. It is actually faster than my computer. There are no cons that I can list about it. Go for the iPhone. It won't let you down.

    Get the iPhone 4S. The android software is not as good as the iPhone's. Android is constantly changing its software. The iPhone has ios 5, an 8 megapixel camera, and has more and better apps.

    Don, don, don... iPhone 4s... It is amazing. You don't need android because it is unstable. Look man trust me you want an iPhone. With a stunning retina display, lightning fast dual core processor, and Siri nothing beats the iPhone 4s.
