Google's apparently working on their own version of Siri anyway. It's not something I really care about either way. ICS is pretty huge, imo. But who cares. The Razr should get it early in 2012. Considering the number of apps that need to be updated, there's a big negative to being the first to get ICS anyway.
The big difference is 1) screen size, 2) LTE or no LTE. I didn't find the Razr to be that difficult to use at all. The Dell Streak was weirdly sized. LTE is hands down better than 3G although it does suck down battery. No LTE iPhone, no care.

I already have a 4g LTE antennae to use with my netbook, so I do nto care if my phone is 4g. I can always just use WIFI ont he phone and have 4g.
What i like about SIRI is that I do nto ahve to spend a lto of time trying to figure out how to do things. On my current droid to insert a calender entry takes about five steps that i cna never rememebr and then I have to type it in. Often it will not respond to my tapping on a calender entry. With Siri I can just say "Siri scheudle a hearing at 9 am. on January 19 at XXX Court." IT apparently will also remind me to do things when i arrive at certain places. When I arrive home "Put the dogs out" or when I get to the area where there is a store "Stop and buy an anniversary gift" For me that would be really useful. I tend to focus on things and forget what I wanted or need to do.
So it is a big plus. POssibly not big enough to overocome bad navigation. But then there is the who durability and stability issue. A working phone is much better than a broken phone.
.. The Android system is easier to conenct to a computer (e.g. to upload a photoraph) becuase it does nto reqruie propritary Apple software and it has a mini USB output. You can also take out the card, stick it in a reader and plug the card into your computer. Iphone requries hte special Iphone cable and Iphone software.
I thought with iOS 5 that you could synch to the computer via Wi-Fi... please correct me if I am wrong??

It is my understanding that with the Iphone, the receiving computer must have apple software installed on it. With android you can look at pictures with the software that is installed on pretty much every business computer.
I have been though 11 Droid/Droid2s and my current droid2 is in the fritz (keeps switching over to camera while reading E-mail dialing phon calls, etc.).
How do you go through 11 Droids? Are you especially clumsy? Or does that say something about Droid construction?
I love Siri and get frustrated that my laptop doesn't have it. I don't have to open many apps anymore. I just say "call so-and-so" or "wake me up at 7:30." I've had no problem with voice recognition (but I was trained as an actor and speak very clearly). If you're using it for business, and especially if you work freelance, Siri is invaluable. The time you save doing calendar entry alone is worth it.
Ok, smart people. Which android AT&T phone would you recommend then?
I don't want to give up my Motorola SLVR, but word on the street is that it won't be supported anymore.
