iphone vs. Droid
Thought I would post this here, even though the board is pretty slow 
I have a Droid, I use the internet (fb and twitter), pandora, and the GPS feature daily as well as a few other apps. I'm now having trouble with the battery and I'm due for a new phone soon. Should I stick with what I know or try the iphone?
Re: iphone vs. Droid
You'll typically find that those who have Droids love them, and those who have iPhones love them. They're comparable in so many ways, it truly boils down to what interface you personally like more.
There's always the option of getting an extended-life battery for your phone, too.
Good luck!
Thanks Alicia! I am pretty happy with the Droid, I thought I'd want the iphone for music, but honestly I mostly use my phone for Pandora anyway. My phone is pretty beat up at this pont (having two little ones can do that!) so the new battery option probably won't work at this point.

I have had my Thunderbolt (HTC Android phone, 4G LTE on Verizon) for 3 months and am in absolute heaven!
I think people just fall into the separate camps for no real reason. Personally, I'm anti-apple gadgets after having been burned with an ipod and ending up with a $500 paperweight. Love their computers, not their gadgets.
As for music on the droid, I have moved all of my music to Amazon Cloud and just use the android amazon cloud/mp3 player app. Can listen online or can choose to download songs to your device to listen to when you're not online. It's perfect. And not proprietary - so if I buy a song through Amazon, I can play it anywhere, unlike Apple and their little proprietary format. Also, music is usually much cheaper on Amazon than on iTunes.
There's my 2 cents ;-)

New droid user here and love it. I originally went in thinking I'm getting an i-phone and just didn't love it.
There are several things you can do to extend battery life depending on your phone. Do you have the task killer ap? If your phone doesn't have one built in apps continue running in the background even if you aren't using them and that kills battery life.
Shut off the GPS and WIFI options when you aren't really using them as they'll keep using battery searching for signals.
If you have a 4g phone, shut off the 4g (either on the phone or with an app) unless you actually have 4G where you are b/c it will seriously kill battery life trying to find a 4G signal.
There's some other tips out there too if you google extending droid battery life or something like that.
Good luck!
