I would honestly wait for verizon to pick up the new jelly bean OS for the droid phones and compare the two. the new iphone 5 isnt really much different in terms of battery life and features from the previous models, the apple site says it has better battery life but some of their info on that just dosnt add up. However if you were to get an Iphone then the 5 is the way to go since they decided to change the charging port, and overall it seems like a nice phone, but to be honest the features of both OS are very similar so it will come down to what you like best.
