Other than that, the touchscreen interface is generally much easier to navigate, but that's about it. You may like having the internet access, but mobile versions of sites just plain suck, and it isn't nearly as nice as it could be. You can also get apps/games to entertain or similar, but I'm one of the few people I know with maybe 10-15 apps installed. Most people end up with way more. Then again, all I really do is text/call, minimal email/internet. Not much else.

One of the nice things about iOS devices is that you can always see the full desktop versions of the Internet. . . you are not locked into the Mobile versions of the webpages.

I use Dolophin browser on my Motorola phone and always get the desktop version. I can toggle back to mobile but never do.

One of the nice things about my Android is that I cans set it to tell the webpage it's an android, iPhone, winPhone, or a desktop. But it's still a small screen trying to show a large page. Still sucks. You don't have any kind of status bar when you hover, and minimal right-click abilities.
