I'm currently a WM phone user, and will move to a non-MS platform as soon as my VZW upgrade eligibility kicks in.

The first and foremost reason for migration to a non-MS platform for me is the WM phone's tendency to crash. I've owned no less than 7 WM phones (3 XV6700 and 4 Touch Pro 2), and freezing has been and is a constant PITA. It happens unknownst to you, making you miss a lot of calls.

So, from the stability perspective, how prone is android phone to freezing or crashing? How does it compare to iPhone? (This being an android forum, I may not get an unbiased opinion on the second question, but still.) I do have an iPad, and although it crashes from time to time, it never freezes. Its form of crashing is also in the mildest form - the app just exits; all you have to do is restart the app. What is it like with android phones when it freezes? Does it take long to recover?

With my MS phones, when the phone freezes, you have to open the cover, take out ths stylus, press the reset button, and wait good 2 minutes until the start screen comes back. To make it worse, sometimes the first reset doesn't work and requires another poke in the hole.
