Razr maxx HD or iPhone 5 or iPhone 4s

Need a new phone and those 3 are my options I like with Verizon, what's the goods and bads. I've always had droids, just got an iPad and like it but not sure about the iPhone yet.

Im going tomorrow so need info quick!


Wife needs a new phone too so was thinking the iPhone 4s. Thoughts on that?

I have the 4S and love it. Very easy to use and never crashes or freezes. I have an IPad also and have to say I am much happier with the IPhone than the iPad.

My daughter has the iPhone 5 and the screen really isn't that much bigger than my 4S. The main difference is the 5 is a 4G phone where as the 4S is strictly 3G.

More freedom with Android..... you do like freedom and people not telling you what to do. Right sniper7?

I'm not much of a techie guy and I use my phone mostly as a phone and for checking email. But I recently got a Razr Maxx HD and it's gotta be the closest thing to a perfect phone there is. And the battery life is phenomenal. Even for a knucklehead like me it's pretty intuitive and easy to use.

I really like the fact that I usually only have to charge it like every 3 days. I don't like the fact it comes loaded with a bunch of bloatware. Eventually I'll figure out how to get rid of it.

Never tried Apple products.

I love my iPhone 5. My wife has the 4s. We are an Apple house though, both have Macs, iPads, iPhones, so we're all in the ecosystem. It's nice that when I take a pic of our son, it will show up on all the devices without really doing anything other than a one time config. I was using Android several years ago on a HTC Hero and absolutely hated it. But from what I've been reading the new version of Android is pretty good. The software updates are hit and miss on Android phones though. At least with Apple you will get a good 2 years of OS updates. Go play with them, try fitting them in your pocket. The 4S is a good phone, but if you can afford the extra $100, I would get your wife the 5. The 4s doesn't have 4g LTE. Just be aware, the sales peeps at Verizon will push the droid phones because they get an extra commission. Also, the iPhone 5s is probably coming out in Aug/Sept time frame, so don't be surprised.

YES! That's awesome! One more thing Android OS has over iPhone: Flash! A lot of sites still haven't converted to HTML5 (supposedly to eliminate the need for flash support- don't quote me, I'm not a big techie guy). If you don't use the BBC News app and just go web, I had problems in the past with iPhone not able to load video (just one example), but on my previous and current droid phones it works great! I have the RAZR Maxx (non-HD) and I love it. If I didn't have another year to go I'd get the HD before you could say "Obama sucks!"

I feel like when the Iphone first came out they were a game changer and actually had something over other smart phones, and that's why I bought one. After my 3gs the iphone lineup just lagged behind and apple didn't have the software or options I wanted. It seems to me that now the Iphones are marketed on brand loyalty and android phones are the ones making the improvements.

Buy the Razr if you are a technological person, get an iphone if technology scares you. But dont get the 4S or the 5. The 5S and 6 will be out in a few months, buying the old one at this point would be a mistake.
