I might finally break and get a smartphone. What are the pros and cons ?

Iphone5

Windows phone 8X by HTC

Those are the two I was looking at. I don't have Windows 8, or have I ever used an Apple product.

I see as of now apps are a concern with the W8 but would imagine this is being addressed. I would only be using it for calling/ messaging, browsing some. It would be nice to have a better camera than what my phone offers now.

Completely new and have no idea on one OS to the other.

phones, like computers, are only as smart as the user.

hence my phone ain't very smart [sarcasm]

I went with the Droid Razr Maxx over the IPhone 5.

It's very easy to use, has all of the features of the IPhone and almsot twice the battery life.

I had the Droid Razr X before this one and thought hard about getting the IPhone but I'm glad I didn't.

Droid Razr Maxx is 4G as well.

I wouldn't be using this for music, as of now anyway.

I like the Google chrome browsing, I use it on my laptop.

I have an iPhone 4 and my wife has the 5. I also have an iPod, and iTunes, and now an iPad... so I got sucked into the apple vortex.

I'm not smart enough to distinguish the pros and cons of smart phones, since I've only had the iPhone. My son is very tech savvy and he has a droid phone.

They have the Samsung Galaxy S III, I guess the difference is the ''S'' beam.

That is one of my questions, having never used an Apple product should I stay away ? I don't see myself getting an Ipad or any other Apple product anytime soon.

DMV, how is the battery life on the Galaxy ? The Razr seems to have a good battery.

I don't think any of them have superior batteries.
