I just switched the Droid (yes, the original Droid), and I think it's lightyears ahead of the iPhone. Google doesn't limit users and developers like Apple does.
BTW, every Windows Mobile phone sucks. I've gone through several of them - it's not the hardware, it's the crap software. WP7 will be out soon, and no one will care, it looks horrible and will continue to suck as it always has.

1) you're not locked into itunes for music or apps, you can use mediamonkey and the phone's app store, you can email and MMS pics.
2) You can customize a lot without having to flash a custom ROM, and btw when you are jailbreaking via Pwnage Tool or Sn0wbreeze you are flashing a custom ROM (ripped and hacked IPSW)
3) There are more than "a handful of good ones". The banks have better apps, online chipotle ordering, Slacker and Pandora stream better than Android. Android may have a better UI, but iOS has much better apps currently.
4) Any screen shatters when you drop something heavy on it or drop the phone, iPhones are known for better hardware than HTC devices.
5) "had to restore"? iOS is well known to be much more stable than WM or Android.
6) The Droid is lightyears behind the iPhone as far as hardware is concerned, so you must be talking about Android over iOS. Personally I tend to agree. I like Android more than iOS, the only thing missing is the apps/games, but I have been running Eclair and now Froyo on my HD2 and I am loving it.
