Random question for no apparent reason: What kind of phone do you use?

Right now I'm using the iPhone 4S and a Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone.

Not a big Android guy, have only had bad experiences with them.

Next.....

BlackBerry Torch. Love the keypad and BlackBerry Messenger. Hate the phone.

iPhone 4. Got it because we have an iPad and I wanted my phone to be compatible with it so I would have all the same apps without paying for them twice or not having them available on another platform.

After using my Android for 9 months, I picked up my iPod Touch, only to be reminded why I cannot fathom owning an iPhone.

First off, I'm a computer nerd and maybe that's the reason I like the Android phones. What is it about the Androids you guys don't like? Not trying to open a can of worms here and I really don't have a dislike for the iPhone. Verizon just didn't offer it when I got my first (not very) Smartphone. Just curious why.

For me it's the phone itself. Battery life SUCKS!! My kids spend all day on theres iPhones with no issue and I charge mine 3 and 4 times a day. Just got a new battery and I'm down to charging 2xs a day and yes I have removed all running apps I can, stopped most of the push notifications and still no luck with the battery. I use my iPad at work to access da nets at work...just gave up on the phone.

I think the DROIDX is notorious for this I can use mu iPad for a couple of days before it need to be charged, I LOVE that thing!
