I'm now in possession of a (used) iPhone 3G. When I got my Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10 early last year, I said one of the reasons was that I had every other iGadget around, and wanted to give Android a whirl. I've now used this iPhone for less than a day, and annoyingly enough I think I like it better than my (wonderfully girly and fun) XPERIA

I find gmail and google accounts really annoying to use, though. I mean, I use G+, but I made a specific gmail just for that purpose, I never check the actual e-mail. I think I'm using that gmail as my main google account on my phone, but I'm not even sure anymore. I don't use Google calendar (nor iCal for that matter). There's never been any syncing going on anywhere that I can see XD

That probably made the instantness of iCloud that much more impressive to me. I'd enter a phone number in my contacts list on my phone, and could almost watch it appear in my Address book on my computer at the same time. I've never seen anything so seamless.

In terms of functionality there is almost no difference between Android and iOS in my opinion. You can get most of the same apps for each OS, and things are designed to work the same way... but the user experience is quite different, and right now I'm on the iOS side of things. I guess because the interface is more familiar to me.

I guess it also helps that the touch screen on the iPhone is much more responsive than the one on the XPERIA.
