Even though I own a android phone, I'm entering into this? Why?
First off, the phone isn't even a year old, and the phone is already screwed up. I've used my phone for an LED flashlight when I built my computer and that somehow caused permanent damage to the battery. The phone shuts off whenever the LED is accessed or whenever I do anything I really need to do.
I've been using an iPod Touch 4G for awhile, and I've never seen it fail on me. To be completely honest, Apple knows how to make something work for a daily basis. I'd rather have something like an iPhone that actually works, instead of something that dies out in a year.
Even though the battery is forgeted, I really don't trust that it's the battery's fault. It could be the phone itself.
tl;dr: My phone is really not usable, iPhone would be a great replacement, since I don't need to do hardcore tasks on it.
