iPhone 4 is the best mobile phone on the market — period.

...as long as you don't need to make a phone call.

This was downvoted because?

A. The poster wanted to know the best Android phone to get- chances are, he's already looked at the iPhone and decided it wasn't for him (or wants to develop for Android or something).

B. You gave absolutely zero support as to why you think the iPhone's better than any of the Android phones.

C. Also, you come off as a fanboy.

A. "Or, should I consider another device from Verizon, etc. instead?"

B. An opinion was asked and an opinion was given. I didn't proffer anything beyond what was requested.

C. And you and the people who downvoted me come off as Android fanboys.

The context to A implies a different Android device, not anything else. Also, it's pretty clear that the OP wanted reasons for going with one phone over another.

Do not feed the troll.

Next time include a substantive argument when you make an off topic and inflammatory comment. (And BTW I happen to agree with you about the iPhone.)

I fail to see how it's off topic ("Or, should I consider another device from Verizon, etc. instead?") or inflammatory (iPhone is a very good device).

How can you "fail to see" how plugging an iPhone on a thread called "which Android should I get..." is off topic??? Are you just acting stupid, or actually?

To quote the poster: "Or, should I consider another device from Verizon, etc. instead?"

Suggesting the iPhone is perfectly fine because, as far as I'm aware, it falls under "another device."

Q: Which Denny's should I go to? The one on Main St or another one?

Idiot replies: The KFC on State St is the best.

It's more like:

Q: Which Denny's should I go to: the one on Main St or another one?

A: You should go to the IHOP on First St. It's the best all-day breakfast restaurant in town.
