Android-achu, I Choose you!

I know that in the past, I have been an  iPhone enthusiast, and that has not changed.  I do however like to try a little variety now and then.  I was presented with an opportunity to try out the iPhone 4 and a Samsung Galaxy S.

Since relocating to Holland, I have been in need of a new cell provider and phone.  I had a 3G and it was my life back in Canada.

I had been looking for a new phone for a while here, as my 3G is starting to become really slooooooooow.

I tried out the Galaxy S based on a recommendation from a colleague.  I decided to test out the phone, and I was very impressed.  I loved the large screen and speed that it offered.  I am not going to get into a huge technical outlay on the 2 phones.  There are enough articles on that already.

I chose the Android based phone based on perceived value.  I got more for my money with the Galaxy S, and it was apparent to me very clearly.  Being a Google fan-boy also helped in my decision making process.

The Android Market is starting to evolve nicely, and more developers are starting to write programs for this platform.  A lot of the applications that I had grown to love on the iPhone are available on the Market, so I was impressed by this.  One lacking is skype at the moment.  Oh, its available on the market, but if you have a Galaxy S, well you just can’t sign into your account.  Talk about frustrating.

All in all, I am happy that I have chosen to go with Android, and a few people that I have talked to have been swayed from getting an iPhone by this phone.

What about you?  Which route would you go?
