I am sitting in a BA first lounge at LHR. I have connected a BB, an iPhone and an old HTC TyTN successfully to the WiFi. The only thing that wont connect is my relatively new Android phone. The is the first out of the US trip I have taken it on. The version I bought basically wouldnt do exchange mail. I had to by a $20 program for mail. It is okay with that but I think the free iPhone mail is better. Browsers are about the same. Programs, or apps, on the iPhone are almost universally better than on Android. I have given up on some. From what I can tell I cant even back the thing up without rooting it which is frankly absolutely nuts.

I would say that unless your goal is to get a phone that you can reload the OS and so forth, iPhone is far and away better than Android. THe exception to that would be if you are in a Googlecentric world. It probably integrates a bit better there.


At least I have a good slug of JW Blue to console me.
