Dear Steve Jobs,

Hi there. I’m a big fan — of your products, your business, and, well, you too — love the mock turtle necks. I have a conundrum, and I hope you can help me.

I understand that you generally keep product information tip-top secret. I understand this probably helps you make money and the like. But I’d like you to make an exception, just this once. I’m in the market for a new cell phone on the Verizon network, and well, the beloved iPhone is still hog-tied to AT&T.

Here’s the thing, the HTC Incredible is coming out in just a few days. According to all the reviews, it lives up to its name. It’s fast, sleek, and oh-so-ever-smart. As an avid Apple fan, I’m reticent to switch teams, but by all accounts Android is the real deal — not quite an iPhone killer, but a powerful match operating system for operating system.

If I had my druthers, I’d go with the iPhone over Android. An iPhone would probably sync better with my MacBook, and keeping my life together on iCal would be a breeze. I’d rather not fool with syncing Mail on my MacBack and a GMail app on Android. I know “good things come to those who wait,” but the thing is you’re so darn secretive you don’t even let us know if that’s true in this case.

I don’t have much money. If I go with the Android OS, I can’t switch over to the iPhone later. If you gave me the info — say the iPhone would be out on Verizon by June, or even by September I might wait. I probably would wait. But without the information, I can’t make an informed decision. You’re tying my hands behind my back, and I don’t appreciate it. And the flip side, I’m sorry to admhit, might be the opposite. I buy an Android product soon, and love it. Then, even when the next generation iPhone comes available, I might not bother switching back. I don’t like the sound of that — for me, or for you.

So can you level with me, Steve? What would you do — buy an Android product now, or wait for a Verizon iPhone?

Peace,

Adam
