Peggy, i was an iphone-3gs user but disgusted with Apple's attitude about faulty antenna on iphone 4. first they said theres nothing wrong, then they said other phones like droid, blackberry ..etc has the same problem too, then they kind of admitted and tried to give away free covers, instead of calling the phones and fix the problem (or basically just say sorry).
I was always dreaming about android and bought samsung i9000 and you cant even compare with iphone, it is a wonderful smart phone.
I beg you to find a friend who uses htc or any other android phone and play with his/her device for few minutes. Or go to youtube and watch some videos.
