I am looking to buy a new smartphone in a few weeks after tragically losing my 3G S last semester after leaving a bar. I have used an iPhone for the past 2 years (original and 3G S) and both were jailbroken. It's safe to say the iOS will be jailbroken or the Android will be rooted and would like the answers from that perspective. I didn't like how restrictive the iOS was despite being jailbroken but there are a few apps (iStudez Pro for example) that I almost relied on and the OS clean and simple. I don't have much knowledge on the Android platform beyond playing with the Aria in the store for a bit and running the Android SDK on my MacBook. I also don't have the slightest idea what apps are offered in their Market. I have broken down my choices to Aria vs. iPhone 3 G S and Nexus One vs. iPhone 4 based on performance (clearly the iPhone 4 is more powerful than the Aria and the Nexus One betters the 3G S). My dilemmas are with the apps, value (price and performance), and the Android OS since I don't know much about it. I could care less about Facetime or that VGA front camera on the iPhone 4 and I have used iOS 4 on my gf's jailbroken iPod Touch 2G with multitask enabled. Which phone would you pick and why? Thanks for reading this long post! Experienced users are preferred although I could use any insight and please no fanboy flamming.
