Android vs Iphone

After watching that short commercial in class of the Iphone and the Samsung Galaxy, I couldn't help but relate. Up until this year, I've been using a basic phone for the past 8 years. I've watched generations of smart phones being released and never owned one myself. Seeing the news of people waiting for days to get the latest new cellular device, I found it ridiculous that it has become apart of our culture. Finally 8 years later, I had a broken phone and was way overdue for an Upgrade. I've seen the Iphone being compared to the Blackberry, and now the Android. I was very excited to get my first smartphone and was doing my research on whether or not I wanted the new Iphone 5 or the new Samsung Galaxy III. I did my comparisons of technology and features and overall Samsung kicked the Iphone out of the ballpark. I've tested my parents phones when they went from Iphone to android, and talked with different people about what I should get. At the same time, I really don't need all the features that SG3 had. I chose the Iphone over it because I really don't need that big of a screen, it looks sleeker, and with texting.. what's the purpose of have a touch phone to share?
