So... the Galaxy Nexus is the first 4G LTE phone for Sprint, right?  Is their LTE any good?

sd, if I were you, I'd get the iPhone. You can always try it out for a week and if you don't like it you can take it back and choose from one of the 50 Android phones out there.

That's the plan right now.  I'll play with everything at the store but I can't see going another way.

I am on Sprint, and recently swapped out the EVO for the iphone 4s.  Much happier with the iphone.  The 4G on the EVO was nice when I was on the road in a larger city that had good coverage, but that benefit did not out weigh the far superior battery life (like a bagillion times better), better apps (the same apps on iphone are worlds better than android), and just general "usability."

Happy with my decision.

I could walk to the Sprint Campus from where I live, I don't get 4G at my house.

Yeah, but I think I get 4G at your house.

Depends on the size. Which is my biggest beef with Apple, making people pay for storage seems stupid. But it works out well for them, so I can't blame them either.

On Verizon with a plan, 16G is 200, 32G is 300, and 64G is 400.

I got the 16G, but I don't have music. I use Pandora for that. I have a lot of apps but still have over 3G of storage left.

I'll probably try to make it replace my touch for travel so It'll need to hold movies and music.

Agree, applecare+ is completely worth it. I just have a simple rubber case and I've never really liked screen protectors so I go without one.

I don't like using talk time as a way to guage battery life, I wish the phone companies wouldn't even use that because no one buys a smart phone just to make phone calls.
