I am looking at getting a smartphone, which of the 4 main platforms should i get?

I am thinking about getting my first smartphone in June or July (as i don’t have the money yet and wanna see what iPhone 5 has to offer).

Right now I am mostly wondering about operating systems, and I will decide later on which phone.

I like to text, so I would like the SMS app to be pretty good. My current quick messaging phone has a rather bad SMS app where messages take forever to send, you cant go onto something else while it sends, if someone sends something to you while you send your message never finishes sending, etc. Another thing that really bugs me about my current phone is while eI am typing a text to someone, if I receive a text it will pop-up and interrupt my writing. This can be a pain when trying to talk to a few people at once.

So basically I want a platform that has a really good SMS application. I like how the newer blackberry OS handles it, with the convo view, sending in the background, and getting a notification at the bottom (i think) that doesn’t interfere with your typing. I understand windows phone 7 is supposed to be pretty good for SMS too.

SMS isn’t all I want from my smartphone, I also would like to get apps and browse the internet, use gps and so on. That is one reason I don’t really like blackberry is because it doesn’t have very many apps and seems to lack some functionality that iPhone and android have.

Windows phone 7 seems cool but I heard that the code behind it isn’t good and that it might get slow. I was afraid of this because, after all, its made by Microsoft. Plus since it is new, it doesn’t have many apps yet and probably has more bugs then other Smartphone.

I like the iPhone, I don’t have one but I have an iPod touch and know people with iPhones. I like how it has lots of apps, good browser, and a lot of features. I don’t know if I like how the text messages pop up while you are doing stuff tho, I could see that being a bit annoying if you are trying to play a game or even just write another text. I also like how if you get an iPhone it will probably last for a while as they don’t really seem to look as out dated as other phones might after a few years. I don’t like how it doesn’t have a replaceable battery though, I think that is stupid and a waste of a perfectly good phone when the battery turns bad.

I am not sure about android really, since ive never really used it. I expect it to soon have more apps then the iPhone as it is selling more and it is much easier to get an app on the android market then it is to get one on the app store. I like how you can change the battery and everything, and how you can customize the phone a lot and add cool features. I am worried about it getting slow or having bad battery life though. I also don’t like how some phones don’t get the most recent updates and how carriers can load it up with adds and crapware. I don’t really know much about texting on an android other then you can get special apps for it which probably means I could find one that does texting just the way I want. But again, I don’t really know much about android.

Thanks so much in advance for helping e with this, I just wanna know which OS you think I sould get and why.

Definitely get an iPhone.
I have a BlackBerry Torch 9800 and it’s really good, and I’ve had the Bold 9000 and Bold 9700 too.
BlackBerry’s are indeed great but really nothing compares to the iPhone. It has so many great apps that BlackBerry’s don’t. They’re just so much better. I really want an iPhone! Get one!
