I like Android too. I haven't tried iOS yet but I've already tried Windows and I didn't like it at all. The design is a bit confusing because sometimes buttons appareance is exactly like text. Another problem is there are less apps than iOS and Android.

I haven't tried iOS in a personal smartphone but I tried it in my friend's iPhone and it didn't like me so much.

my current choice would be Android and I did not like IOS because of how annoying it was with its features and apps.

I do wish to try out the Ubuntu phones which have the ubuntu operating system they are quite cheap phones with good hardware so when I need a new phone I will probably go for Ubuntu to see how that feels because maybe I will prefer it.

I haven't seen any Ubuntu phones.. But I do hope that they get to the mainstream.. I hope that some one here is using them and share their experiance.

You can install Ubuntu on any android phone you want. There was a guide to do this a few years back. I know I had installed Backtracks on my S3 a few years ago

Currently, I use a Windows phone, which is not too bad. I like it, but I've thought about upgrading. Although it was a hard decision, I'd pick iOS over Android only for the sake that iOS sometimes gets games first because more people use it. Although, recently I've seen some pretty good Androids with pretty good features which makes me want to change my mind. Both look aesthetically pleasing, but with an Android you can change most of the looks at any time.

I've used all versions of iOS, Windows and Android each have good features and bad features and I would say each has a place in a certain market. iOS is good because everyone has it and companies design for it because of that, down sides are that it has limited customization options and publishing apps cost money and need approval. Android is good because it is open source, it is easy to write apps for so there are a tone and it has a lot of customization options, downsides are that it is less stable as an OSCAR and because there isn't a governing review of apps, there are a lot of crapp you ones out there. Windows is solid as a phone and amazing in an enterprise setting, but there are no apps for it and their basting of live tiles don't work half the time. That's my opinion

I like CyanogenMod personally, as it's an Android-based distribution with a much wider berth of customization options available, whlist at the same time cutting down on the superfluous extra fluff service providers try to slough onto your Android-based phone (e.g., Sprint and AT&T). Of course, this requires you to unlock your phone which voids the warranty. However, since I develop for iOS and Android devices, this minor setback doesn't bother me much.

Note, however, that CyanogenMod installs just fine on mostNOT ALL) Android devices (and on iOS devices too, but with much extra work needed to do so, making it unpractical for the average user).

iOS is good idea but it is difficult to jailbreak and custom. However, Android have more risk

Why do you think it has more risk? I would like to know.

BTT, Android for me. The amount of customisation I can do with it is limited only by hardware, which is a really good thing to have.
As for iOS, I hate how restrictive it is especially with app updates. For those not in the loop, new app versions are usually locked behind the newest iOS for no apparent reason except to force the user to upgrade his/her phone/OS.
Now as for Windows Phone, I personally feel that the Windows Mobile line of OSes is better than it due to being not overly complicated. That's just my 2 cents though.

It has to be android because of the ease of use and functionalities available. IOS is closed and everything is isolated.
