Convince me to stick with android
I have a Droid Charge, which is crap. Yeah, it's got a great screen, but games don't run smoothly on it (for instance, I've never been able to play Temple Run because it doesn't run smooth at all, which ruins the game). It sometimes takes forever to run through the startup process - literally (and I'm using that term properly here) there are times it takes more than an hour to start up - it starts up, seems to get going, and then turns off and starts over - sometimes dozens of times before finally starting up for good, but by then the battery's half run down. It will randomly turn on and run stuff, so that I can have the phone entirely run out of battery without actually using it for a half day.

Sometimes the camera freezes up, so I have to take the battery out and restart the phone (hoping it doesn't go through the startup loop). Lately, I can try to make a call, and it takes a minute or two to actually get to the right screen. The other day, I was trying to call the court to tell them I was running late, and it took me 20 minutes before I could get the phone to actually make the call. That's unusually long, but I was about to throw the phone out the car window at that point.

At the time I got it, it was one of only two 4g phones Verizon offered. I'm up for an upgrade in August, and unless I'm convinced otherwise, I'm getting an iphone.

Why should I stick with android, and if I should, which one (Verizon) will not cause me further grief?
