Second, This topic is to discuss the best mobile OS between Android, WP7, and iOS.

I personally like Windows phone because metroUI is sleek, social networking features are streets ahead of Apple, and it's integrated with xBox live. It's also easiest for me to make my own apps for.

I don't like Android because I think it's clunky but I can see it's value to some, because of it's customizable-ness and it has a large app marketplace.

iOS is, to me, just bandwagon apple fanboy fodder 192381038 apps mean nothing if they're all duplicates that do the same thing. Oh boy! another flashlight app!

Seriously. Any important app is more than likely available on all systems, or just on android.

The iPhone will always kill the Droids.
Because of speed, durability, And being able to trust the software.
IOS NEVER crashes, When android will crash once a week and reset your phone
It may be customizable but you can jailbreak an iphone and have the same but BETTER :pwnage:

I personally have had both Iphones and android phones, and can tell you guys from experience that the iphone is much more noob friendly cause its so easy to use; however, the android network allows users the same cool apps maybe even more and most of the stuff is free. Haven't had a windows phone, but the new Nokia looks pretty nice!

I don't know what you're talking about. I've had a below-average android for over a year, and it has crashed on me once. Also, I'm aware that jailbreaking an iPhone allows for more customization, but I honestly think that Android is still a more customize-friendly OS. Just look at the Play Store for example, you can download different UI's, Emulators, Keyboards, and even AdBlocker. This is one of the reasons I like Google/Android over Apple, Google allows more apps on their app store than Apple does. Also, even if an iPhone can find a way to match every customization an Android can have, it is still much easier on Android.
And there is NO way the iPhone has the speed advantage. Have you ever heard of the Nexus 4? Well, it has a quad-core processor and runs on Android 4.2 Jellybean (iPhone has dual-core, and let me just say, in the next one or two years, when they release a new iPhone, I can almost guarantee they will "revolutionize" with "all new" quad-core processing, and people will fall for it." Trust me, I've seen my friend using his Nexus 4, the thing runs as smooth as I can imagine.
I would just like to know how you think that a jailbroken iPhone provides "better" customization than an Android.

To and fro the island.
I prefer iPhones. I was recently tasked with deciding between getting a Samsung Galaxy SIII and an iPhone 5, and while I was excruciatingly close to purchasing the SIII, I eventually opted towards the iP5.

The iPhone is stable. It is reliable, and I can do virtually anything on it. Plus, the introduction of all the cloud software works brilliantly with my iMac, and the Macbook Pro I will likely be purchasing for college in the next few months. While a jailbroken iPhone is surely awesome, a non-jailbroken one isn't useless. I realize that it's easy to begin taking the mass amount available to us with a few taps on a screen, but the iPhone can do almost anything. And, to anticipate others, so can most other phones on the market.

Indeed, we've entered a period in which there is no clearly superior phone. The iPhone 5, Galaxy SIII, and Windows Phone 8 are all excellent phones, each with their own supply of pros and cons. I'm an iPhone guy, but I understand why many people would flock to Android and Windows Phone 8 software. That stuff is awesome! I've been especially drawn to the new Windows software, which is becoming increasingly less rigid and much more comprehensive and functional.

Truly, the debate of which smartphone is the best is cyclical. We will never arrive at an answer. I did not choose the iPhone 5 because I thought it was better than ever other phone on the market. I certainly didn't think it was worse, but I not superior outright. Rather, I bought it because I'm familiar with iOS software and because that is the best software for my particular life. Someone who is looking for a new phone and also just purchase Windows 8 should definitely buy a Windows Phone 8. Similarly, iOS works beautifully with Macs and other Apple devices.

Even though I prefer Android, I can agree with you on that. People forget that this whole thing is an argument over an OPINION. One can't possibly expect everyone to agree with them. Each OS is different, and different people prefer different things. Although I do prefer android, I'm not anti-iOS, I have no problem with it whatsoever; I just prefer Android's look and customization.

The thing I love bout Android is that it is so easy to customise it to your own liking, even though it is harder to use than iOS, Its still defo one of my favourites. The thing about iOS is that you dont need skill to use it, its so simple and easy whereas with Android you can do anything with it. ANYTHING!
