If you want a phone to mess with get an android phone, if you want a phone where you don't have to do anything get an iphone. The learning curve of an iphone, or apple products in general, is much easier to figure out as opposed to the droids, which is why apple sells a lot of products. I have the Razr Maxx and the battery life alone makes it worth getting. With light to moderate use I've gone two days without a charge and still have over 20% battery left. I'm also a person that likes messing with my phone and since the android phones are more customizable I've stuck with those. Mess around with both and see what feels more comfortable.
