I currently have a Droid Pro that has been replaced once and now this one is doing the same thing. I stopped by Verizon yesterday and can get an upgrade so I’ve narrowed it to these options. I’m cheap and leaning toward the IPhone 4 because it’s FREE but want opinions of what you have and if you like it. I use it for work and surfing the web sometimes at night but don’t stream music through it, etc. One of my employees and my brother have the Razr Maxx and love them but our office is right on the line to 4G so it goes back and forth searching between 3G and 4G eating up his battery causing him to plug it up sometimes at work. This bothers me big time even though the Razr Maxx is supposed to have the best battery life. My brother said he doesn’t have that problem where he lives.
IPhone 4 is free, has 8gb, 3G, and 5mp camera
IPhone4S is $99, has 16gb, 3G, and 8mp camera
Droid Razr Maxx is $199, has 16gb, 4G and 8mp camera

I have had the 16GB iPhone 4S for a year and absolutely love it. I mainly use mine for calls, texts, taking pictures and occasionally some apps for weather, hunting and such. My service is with AT&T. I have been thoroughly impressed with this phone thus far.

I have the Razr Maxx and I absolutely love it. Battery life is lot better than the Iphone and I normally go every other day between charges. Don't let the 4G scareyou away it is amazing.

The guy I work with says even with the better battery life he charges it every night because when it goes to 3G it starts searching for 4G. A few times he's had to charge it at the office. That's the problem with my Droid Pro now. My battery is toast by 11:00. $200 vs. free is also factoring in quite heavily.

Battery life is an issue with the iPhones, but nothing thats not manageable. I have a 4s that i just upgraded to ios6. It runs fast and takes great pics.

I just got the iPhone 4S and I like it so far. I have tested the mapping in it and have yet to have any problems. I like Siri too.

I just have the Std Razor for a couple of months. Not as good as my Droid X, maybe the 4g searching has something to do with it. I also have the windsheild dock so I can use it as a GPS and charge it as I drive, works ok, but gets hot as he!!.
