Customization and specs. Plus I'm not a real fan of iOS. Kind of boring.
Not going to lie, it was cheaper than iOS and I hate wp. This is my first Android, I don't plan moving to ios ever again.

You suck lol, first off I'm a gs2 user so naturally Id rather ask my peer, secondly, I said "Droid" as a nickname for the operating system.. why the nitpicking? I was simply curious about why people chose android over iOS. I commute daily to Philadelphia and 85% of people own iPhones.

Had iphones for the longest time, realized they suck. Being locked down is never fun and android lets me do what I want with the phone I spent my money on.
And as for the "Droid" for a nickname, no sir droid is a phone and android is the os.
I chose Android because Microsoft stopped working on Windows Mobile 6.5 (which was awesome).
It was the device I chose, the GS2, for the swapable battery and amazing camera. Android is what came with

I don't like being constrained. I was an early adopter of the g1, I broke a few and didn't have money to buy a new one. I got an iPhone 3g real cheap from att. I couldn't stand the constraints built into iOS. It made me insane that I couldn't change the wallpaper, this "feature" wasn't added to iOS until much later.
Not into being told how to use MY phone! Android for life!
I was also kind of disgusted with how apple conducts itself as a company and the pervasive culture of elitism in the iOS community didn't strike me as cool either.

This. 1000 times this.
The customization and community/developer support makes the possibilities endless for Android. iPhone has some great things but you still can't change the default look and feel of iOS. I get bored with looking at the same thing all the time.
Firstly, I've chosen the Android over iOS simply because Android OS is smarter as we all call smartphone. How is it smarter? We all know.
Secondly, variety of choices, more options.
Thirdly, it's cheaper.
And to OP, "Droid" and android are two different things. Droid as you capitalize the letter D, is a phone. Start using correct terminologies.
Switched to Android after WM 6.5 was declared dead. Didn't care for the backwards direction I saw WP7 heading.

This is hilarious.
I use Android because of the ability to do so much customizing without needing to void the warranty. I carried a myTouch 3G and iPhone3G at the same time for a number of months (almost a year). My iPhone icon grid looked like every other iPhone, but no two Android phone's home screens look the same.
I'm not cool enough for an iphone.

Ha ha my thoughts exactly. Honestly if you want a great battery and stability go with the Iphone 4, but if you want your phone to do more and are big on functionality and don't want to be tied down thunderbolt. Honestly thus far my TB is my favorite phone. Sure battery life isn't great, but I'm never really in a place I can't charge it...
i honestly love my TB. never really did like the iphone... can't really customize it to your likings, sure you can jailbreak it, but there's only so much that you can do to make it your "own." but to each their own.

Simply put. No.
honestly I came from AT&T iPhone 3GS, I've had more network problems (no lte/3g), my GPS takes about 10 minutes to load, and the battery life sucks.
though I still love the thunderbolt. I'll probably go back to the iPhone 5 when that comes out (inb4 steve jobs controls you) the only thing I notice from jailbreaking iOS compared to rooting android is overclocking. Jailbreaking you can do EVERYTHING else. Full themes, boot logo, remove what you don't want, hell you can even run android on iPhone. Overclocking is the only thing android has on the iPhone.
It's personal opinion, this is a android fanboy site so they're gonna argue... I like both phones. I could have gotten the iPhone 4 but I got the thunderbolt, either way I would have been happy.
Oh P.S., please argue about my post half of you don't even run a *nix based system but are all about DROID OS, but use Windows. Use a real *nix based system then look at droid. Much different. Only people I give props to is CM7 team for developing from ASOP source.

Why? Is there anything you can't do with Android?
Even if you don't tinker too much with os or use custom roms, you can do much more on Android.
1.Media Player ( with audio effects)
2.Office apps
3.Navigation
4.EMails
5. Social apps
6. Gaming
Everything that is required and much more is there.
On the other hand if you are bored with Android and don't want yourself to be tempted to flash roms again and again, you can buy a blackberry.
If you don't care about equalizers and audio effects, go for a windows
7 phone. Mango RTM (released to manufacturers) update is already available and official will be available after September 27.

I don't think anyone could have said it better
I had a Blackberry curve for about 4 days before I decided I hated it. I went back to the store and traded it for my P500h.
The blackberry is just simply a phone with some gadgets added to it and lots of messaging and email capability.
The android it just so much more than that. There are so many things which the blackberry comes short, like media playing, customization, games, file management, user modification, etc. It just seems silly to go back to something so rudimentary in comparison. But if all you want is a phone that does email, messaging, calling, and some music playing, get a blackberry. Or better yet, get a cheaper not so smart phone and get the same thing.
If you want an android phone with the look and feel of a blackberry you could get a motorola droid pro.

The only pro of Blackberry over other smartphones is... the userbase.
Some people are already attached to their BBMs and with these people a lack of BBM will cost you socially or in business when you find yourself out of the loop. If you're faced with that situation, then you can say you need a Blackberry.
For other cases, with the same price you can get a much better phone running Android, Windows or even Symbian. Alternatively, get a cheap, old model Blackberry for BBM and another mid-range Android with custom ROM for everything else you want out of a Smartphone.

The iPhone is an excellent device no doubt about that but it just needs a bigger screen. Once apple upgrades to at least a 4" or 5" screen instead of a 3.5" it will be unstoppable. I love android more of course but I think both os's have their pros and cons. I'd honestly say at this current state they're pretty equally matched even with ice cream sandwich rolling out. iPhone's just work out the box and the battery is amazing it's crazy, android has the killer customization that iPhone doesn't have and I like that too!

Yeah they are great phones for the people that need stuff to be simple and straight forward. That's by no means a bad thing. But I like to have the option of complexity if I desire it. The iPhone can only get so complex whereas Android devices can be endlessly complex if modded the right way.
That's just my 2cents.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I agree.
With this type of bulls... going on, I'll never buy any of their products again. They've actually gotten worse over the last few years in multiple ways - the patent wars are just one aspect. They've been alienating long time users by dumbing down not only their computer OS, but other products. In the past you could get several years additional use out of a their products vs competitors, but now they're making them un-upgradeable.
It even goes beyond the militant behaviour like this with the Galaxy Nexus, even to the point of being totally petty. I tried selling a Asus Netbook with their OS installed on eBay, just to see if the police stories were true - they had the listing removed in less than 24 hours. :angel:
They're making MS look cool.
Well...
Apple is doing it because they know that in the long run they will be outdone by both the Android software and hardware, in my opinion that has already happened but they know that eventually all the Apple fan boys and girls will realize this and jump ship so rather than stay ahead of the curve they avoid the curve all together by playing these games.

They use to have a some good business strategies and were a respectable company. Now they have resorted to hide behind laws instead of operating out in the open. Plus why sue Samsung or even get them involved? Don't they make Apple's processors? Sounds like Apple bought Lucy Koh. Apple should be sued for not being innovative and for being a bad sport. So they might be losing in the mobile races, wow big shocker with the same phone being released year after year, but home computers are still way to stay in the game. I for one think this move will result in negative PR for Apple and hurt sales in the long run. A company can't operate like cowards and no one notice.

I've used both iOS and Android for a really long time.
I gave my iPhone 4S to my dad who barely speaks English because it's sooo basic. It's like a kids toys which is limited to the max. I never felt like I had a "machine" to play with. I felt like I had a flip phone which was only good for talking and texting. Even the web is very limited.
I'm not being biased. I really felt limited with the iPhone. (If you look at my Avi hard enough, you'll see the pic is taken with iPhone.)
The only things I miss about the iphone:
-Good front camera (the colors were better)
-imessage. (although there are 3rd party solutions, and group texting solutions, it was just easier)
All of these features and more are available in the LTEVO, and the LTEVO does it better... FAR better.
I'm not biased. If the iPhone was the best, I would own it, but it is not (given that the iPhone 5 is on the near horizon).
My wife owns the 4s, and it's more of a mobile problem, than a mobile solution, and my benchmark tests 1:1 show the LTEVO as the clear winner.

My cousin got a 4S, hated it, and got an S3 (similar to the EVO) and loves it.

I have a LTE and my wife has a 4s. I can't stand the apple and hate having anything to do with it. Tried to talk her into a LTE but it was too big for her lol. She came from a iPhone 4.

just dont rip anyone off in the process, duke
I went from the EVO to the 3d to the 4s and literally waited around for the LTE to come out not liking the 4s.
Essentially it comes down to what you like. As nonbiased as these guys/girls want to act they really aren't. No disrespect btw, you'll see my point in a sec.
You came to the LTE forum asking if you should change and why.....now go to the apple forum and ask this and see their "nonbiased" answers. Most of my friends have and love iPhones but they are also not tech junkies, I am. I liked the freedom Android gave me and missed it so I came back. I also liked the OS platform in Android and again the freedom to customize it at will to my specific taste. My Android doesn't look like anyone elses and theirs doesn't loom like anyone else's either. Apple you get different wallpaper lol.
Also, "jailbreaking" is very glitchy IMHO and way more trouble then what you really unlock. Android rooting actually gives you almost unlimited potential to the phone and a rooted Android phone with stock os IMHO is more stable then a jailbroken iPhone. It's also not reliant on a pc or program to reset or do stuff with. I've updated my Rom and stuff on my phone a ton of times and I can't remember the last time I hooked it into my pc. Freedom.
Notice I am saying Android and not LTE btw, just my opinion and experience. It just boils down to what you want to do with the phone. They both essentially do the exact same things. Same apps same calls same text ect...
For the record I still have my 4s, use it as a back up some times. I did like group messaging and the battery but I jailbroke it and battery sucked. Known issue. Plus these devs have gotten these roms to far surpass the iPhone battery no exaggeration.

Thanks guy. Suppose to be meeting up with him today, I'll let you all know if I decide to switch.
I dumped my 4s 3 weeks ago and am very glad with my decision. I got bored as hell with the iPhone very quick after years on android. Couldn't stay away for long. Customizing android is like crack, you just can't stay away for very long.
