new iPhone 4s

[Pete]

My wife and I just upgraded our phones (with Verizon).  We each had a Droid
Eris and I have to say they sucked.

I upgraded to an HTC Incredible and my wife got an iPhone 4.  I am extremely
happy with my Incredible - it is a huge advance over the Eris in every way.
I have had it for about a month now and have NEVER had to reboot it.

I'm interested in the comment about malware, lack of controls and poor
security.  Any more info available?  Because I'd like to be aware of
problems in those areas so I can take steps to prevent them.  I've already
installed an anti-virus app.  And let's not forget the hoo hah a couple of
months ago regarding the file of location info that Apple secretly collected
on the iphone

There are two huge advantages to the Incredible for me - Goggle Navigation
and being able to seamlessly and wirelessly sync my phone calendar and
address book with my Apple desktop out of the box.

My wife is equally happy with her iPhone.  I think it comes down to what
sort of user you are ( yes :"user", these are computers that happen to make
phone calls).

My wife is not a computer expert and like most Apple products, the iPhone is
very simple to set up and use for the simple, everyday stuff.  I have a
computer background and like to set up a phone the way I want it to be, not
the way the manufacturer thinks it should be.  Plus, no matter how good
Apple products are, I hate the business practices they have adopted over the
last couple of years.
