Which phone
Benzor

So I'm sure there are people on here who know a lot more about phones then I do. Right now I have a blackberry but my upgrade is due in a few weeks...3 days after Verizon gets the iphone. Which phone should I get with my upgrade? Iphone, Droid, or perhaps another blackberry? Any insight or advise would be welcomed. Thanks guys.

Not too sure what vz has for newer android models, but make sure you check the net and see if they're coming out with anything new in the next couple months. Nothing worse than getting let's say a droid X and then a new one comes out 3 weeks later.
Blackberrys suck
The iPhone is like a smartphone for dummies. It's a good phone in what it does, but it's so limited to exactly what Apple wants it to be.
Android let's you do basically anything you want. Don't like the keyboard, there are bunches of them. Don't like the home screen, there are bunches of other launchers. The list goes on and on.
I've rooted mine and you can choose from dozens and dozens of ROMs to make your phone do whatever you want.

You can do the same with the iPhone.
The iPhone isn't anywhere near as flexible as Android and you know it.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
True on the standard iOS. But if you've ever seen a rooted iPhone, it's as flexible. There is an entire store called Cydia that is designed to customize and build your iPhone the way you want it.
PS. I'm no android hater. I might actually get my wife the moto atrix so I can fuck around with that platform. The atrix looks sick

4g sweetness married to a dual core processor. oh yeah.
second choice would be the thunderbolt which also has 4g. rumors have it possibly coming out next month
if you have to buy today, Droid X or incredible would be my choices.
samsung sucks at getting updates out and would slip down the list because of that.
if you aren't marreid to verizon, than there are some other good choices.
and of course you could get the icrap. haha.. i'm sure it's a nice phone, just not for me. although i would be careful picking up an i4. you would think they would be coming out with an upgraded phone pretty soon, but i've not heard a ton of rumors, but i don't look for apple rumors either.
have you thought about putting android on yoru iphone. it can be done

Why doesn't google have a program like iTunes so you can update the firmware yourself instead of having it pushed to your phone?
Thats the one thing I just don't understand.
the actual transmission of the update isn't the problem, its the lack of updates that is the problem. all the high end phones (Evo, Droid X, Droid Increible, EPIC, etc) have been updated to android 2.2 (froyo). than there is samsung and their lack up upgrade care which leaves most of the galaxy S phones on 2.1.
:P
You're likely correct on a rooted iPhone. I do not know much about that area.
But as you said, if you stay stock, the Android is a ton more customizable than the iPhone.
