I've had a similar situation trying to decide if I wanted to upgrade to the 4s.

Apple is the only one making money on the iphones. The carriers are basically getting screwed on the deal. I would expect that the salesmen are making more commission on the Droid army so that's what they're pitching. I wouldn't exactly take their recommendation for anything other than self serving.

Apple spent a lot of time making the 4s bulletproof. In the end, most of us just want it to work. Even though I'd like a larger phone, I'm still giving it serious consideration.

What might help is to look at some of the Droid threads and see what kinds of problems people are having. I've always found negative reviews more informative.
