WHAT IS BETTER? iPhone 4S or Droid Photon!?

[midnightsrealm]

I currently am planning on either purchasing the iPhone 4S (probably 32 gig) or Android Photon on the SPRINT network, and I really need help on choosing which is best. I know this is a broad question, but just in general, what really is the "best" phone?

To my SHOCK, every employee in my local sprint store suggested the Droid Photon over the iPhone 4S, saying the iPhone was just the "cool" phone right now, is not better than the Droid Photon, and it is as simple as that. Is it really "that simple"?

Please, any and all serious feedback/opinions etc. (hopefully based on fact!) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much PPCGeeks!
