I'm looking into a smart phone for business. I have been told by game developers I have talked to that I need an I-Phone 5 this winter. They said the new iOS will be different then the last one. They also said that there will be games made for I-Phone 5 exclusively meaning they won't work on I-Phone 4 or Android devices.

Honestly I was thinking of getting an HTC Android since I heard they make the best Android phone on the market. With Android having a larger market share then Apple I thought that software would be more prevalent on their phones. However after talking to several developers at PAX I realized that the leading gaming phone is I-Phone and I-Phone 5 will be the next big phone to have.

So obviously if all the developers say I need one, then I guess I need one. I've never had a smart phone before because in all honesty I never cared to use a phone for gaming, writing notes, surfing the web etc...etc.. But with the way businesses work these days I need to be connected 24/7 and a regular txting phone isn't going to cut it.

What do you guys think, should I get I-Phone 5 like the developers say or the best Android I can get? I'm leaning heavily towards 5 because if I am going to cover and report on the games industry I need to be able to play all their latest products.

If you are to buy an Android device, then the Best Android device is Samsung galaxy II. HTC sensation doesn't come close. GSII has the better screen, a better battery life, a better camera and the BEST browser between ALL smartphones. Overall the experience on GSII is smoother than any other phone out there, including the iphone 4. The only downside to it is the "grip" and how light it is, at least in my hands. Nothing major though.
