If you just want a smart phone and don't want to work to hard at it, buy the iphone. Its a great all around phone, though a bit large in the pocket and hand. Tons of easy to install apps but you will end up paying for a lot of them and the OS isn't open source and locked down plus itunes will own you. Also with a lot of Apple products, they are trendy and you'll look "cool" to the masses.

The phandroid phones are great out of the box but they are definitely a geeks phone, way more hackable/modifiable than an iphone or any other windows based phone. If you are a linux/unix guy, this phone is even more awesome for you as you will feel right at home. So many base roms you can load, you can actually go out and buy a $300 developer phone and start building your own android setup and use it with any provider. I watched a co-worker load on the hero rom to his mytouch and now has multi touch pinch and squeeze like an iphone, real quick to navigate I almost bought this phone but I wanted to wait to see what other android phones are coming out.

I have see many developers at my company dump their iphone and switch to verizon/tmobile to get an android based phone. I was able to pick up an iphone for cheap from one of them. Now I am waiting to see how the motorola cliq and new HTC phone for tmobile look and maybe I'll get rid of my iphone.
