Well, I was once an iPhone guy (3g) then it broke and I had to switch to a new one. I my country the carriers not offer the iPhone because of some stupid restrictions our government made about imported goods. So we can only buy products that are built here, like Blackberry, Samsung, motorola, lg and some other brands. If you want to buy an iPhone or any other apple product it’s really expensive, because it’s not been subsidized by the carriers and importing taxes are very high.
Soooo, I got a motorola Defy… It comes with a 3,7 in screen 848×480 pixels, 5mp camera and it’s submersible too. I never had a hardware problem, like the battery drain or charging or any other issue.
After been using it for a while, I found android more versatile than IOS, there are widgets for everything, contact sync with Facebook, Skype, etc. The phone is not just a launcher for apps, since you can access info directly from any page on the launcher screen without opening an app. And if it’s about performance, this thing is awesome, everything runs smooth and it’s a “mid end” phone. There are others with dual core processors and better gpu’s.
I love apple products, they have an outstanding design and building quality. Also I’m starting to code for iOS.
You just had a couple of “bad” phones.

I usually like Apple as well, but recently had to go down to the US (from Canada) and bought a Nexus S instead of paying exorbitant carrier fees for roaming. I really couldn’t have been more impressed with Android. Within minutes of turning on the phone I was streaming some music from my Google music collection, had all my contacts synced and was looking at pictures that I uploaded to picasa several years ago.
I’m so tired of Apple’s bullshit with things like not allowing Telus Mobility (Canadian carrier that was hoping to do iPhone unlocks) to unlock devices and (I realize this is small) not allowing me to delete the newstand App (or even move it into a folder!!). Also, not releasing Siri for the iPhone 4 and saying that iOS 6 on the iPhone 4 won’t have turn by turn directions. It all shows such disdain for the consumer and is really making me consider an Android as my next device.
