It's entirely your call. A rough rule is, if you like to tinker, Android is the way. If you just want a phone to use with minimal input from you, then the fruity devices will suit you. If you're a young person with friends with iPhones, you will miss out on some stuff they can do it you not on that platform.. If you use the iPhone for a while and then compare the operating systems, then you can make an informed decision. Have fun!!!
