What to consider and look for?
Processor Speed??? in January 2013, I recommend a Samsung, HTC, or Google Nexus for Droid or iPhone5
Screen: Touch/No Touch...what about size?
Keyboard???
Platform & Apps: Droid? Google Play? Apple? Other?
Apple or Droid?• Apple:
• More Apps
• Apps tend to be created first
• Better Organized
• Droid:
• Only 25,000 downloads shy of iTunes
• Less HD options
• More Free Apps
• Sometimes cheaper than iTunes
iTunes alone, from its inception in 2003 now has well over 400 million active user accounts, and serves over 315 million mobile devices!

Phone Provider is best for me?
