I am planning on purchasing a new phone in the near future.
I am confronted with two choices: an Android device or an iPhone.
As a consensus, what do you all use? Are there benefits in choosing either one?

I have an HTC Hermes (rebadged as a T-Mobile MDA II), running Windows Mobile 6.1. I bought it second-hand unlocked on Ebay, because I was replacing a Palm PDA (not because I was replacing my phone). It has Windows Excel, Word, Acrobat Reader, an MP3 player, calendar, and contacts list - I have added a password holder (best app ever, if you have more than 5 passwords!). It syncs to my Windows laptop, and I can add any multitude of games. It has a full slide-out keyboard.
I don't need an app store, the web is my app store. I wanted a phone that I could run work documents, hack, add new skins, change the lock screen, the home screen, the icon layout, the button functions, etc., and had a full qwerty keyboard (like my previous Nokia, believe me texting is SO much easier) - oh, and I can replace the battery when it wears out! So, IPhone was out. I bought before Android was around, so I can't comment on that - but I suspect if I was buying now, it would be a strong contender
