Perhaps I should ask....

What is an android phone? or a smart or super phone?

GTA Poker

basically you want an iphone or an android (google) phone...pretty similar in functionality...both are smart phones

iPhone ftw

i definitely recommend an android over iphone. don't get a blackberry ffs.

the google phones are pretty good (for example nexus). i'm pretty certain that all google phones are open meaning that you can just keep downloading the newest android software and you don't have to keep buying new phones all the time (i.e. like apple forces you to do).

I have had a Galaxy III for two months now. Battery sucks, wont last 24hrs. Basically you have to get into the habit of charging it every day. Not sure about the iphone battery life but I know my other Apple products last a lot longer. I do like the bigger screen of the Galaxy.

If you dont have an ipad i would get the iphone. The iphone 4s is likely free now with the release of the iphone 5. Don't really see a need to have to pay for the iphone 5 when the 4s is a very good phone.

Pokerstars on iphone only right now if you plan to play poker on your phone.

If I could trade my Galaxy III for a 4s, I definitely would. Just more a fan of the Apple operating environment. Seems more user friendly.

FYI, you can always update your iPhone with the newest firmware, unless it's 4+ yrs old. Apple is smarter then that.

not true. i have it for my android phone.

glad they started doing that finally. now tell them to allow upgrades and battery replacements for ipods, ipads, and their computers. sorry, but i hate apple with a passion.

I have had the HTC Desire for nearly 3 years (Samsung Galaxy next) and love it. The biggest thing for battery life I have found for htc is making sure you shut down background applications...with all my stuff running, I charge daily...when I use quicktask killer several times a day to shut down stuff I am not using, I charge every second day.

The beauty of the Android, in my opinion, is I don't need to go to my computer every time I want to install, change or add anything. I hate Itunes and refuse to have it on my computer.. Android's drag and drop (when you want to transfer from your computer) for music and photos is great.

I have the extended battery on my HTC and haven't had an issue with battery life...also use juice defender app which helps

For the iPhone you can upgrade to the latest iOS wirelessly and sync wirelessly as well.

Syncing wirelessly is great, but you still need to be at your computer, no? Can you update and add music or ringtones or photos to your phone while on the road?

I no longer have any credibility on this type of subject as I'm a blackberry guy, but that's definitely where I'd go if I had to change.

I think you should start with a simpler phone since this is your 1st.

Dennis You can update to latest iOS from anywhere.

Anything you do on your iPhone will show up on your computer, iPad, iTouch, ect. If you have your settings set for that.

Can you download music and applications to your phone without using Itunes??
