Yup ...I've done the unthinkable! I've cheated...lol

Ok Seriously, I did it, I went out and fell into the Apple bear trap, and got sucked in by the hype....Yes peeps, I picked up an iphone 4s Sunday morning. And as a former iphone user i'll say this, as a phone the iphone 4s is very good, extremely loud and clear. I don't thing any Android phone out there matches the voice quality found on the 4s! Which better change fast, after all, these are phones we're talking about. Moving more into the phone I can assure you that nobody touches Apple when you speak about build quality, this thing is the Bentley of the phone industry, put together like nothing else on the market! However, that's where it begins and ends for the iphone 4s, its by no means a world beater! Yes, I can honestly say that my buy was simply based on impulse and hype .

As a matter in fact the love affair only lasted about 8 hours...and as of now I'm back to my Bionic already....Once u roll with 4G, there's no going back. And that's pretty much where the iphone fails, its just not fast enough! Yes the camera is pretty good, but what good is that when it takes forever to watch a full youtube video, or load a page. I can tell you the Vzw unit deff feels faster then any units previously released on at&t, but nowhere near the LTE 4G devices Verizon has available.

So the end result is that the pretty glass phone, with the talking asst Suri, and great camera were just not enough to lure me away from the little green man and my Bionic....Even with the Bionics shortcomings, I still missed the bigger screen and Android OS.

Well that was my fun filled Suday, complete with a shoot out of Apple and Android...Bionic vs iphone, with the Bionic coming out on top for now! I say for now, because the real test will come in a few weeks when my Bionic will square of against one of its own....(hint hint)
Prime baby!!!
 
I personally think MY Bionic has the BEST phone quality sound (while talking and listening, even with speakerphone) of any phone I have ever had.
Also, I have "Voice Actions" loaded and "Ivona Text-to-Speech HQ" (making Bionic Voice Very Smooth and Clear). So I don't need Suri.

One happy Bionic owner here! Never going crApple :)
 
Siri is a gimmick imo


Although I have to agree that the Iphone is built really well. But why would it not be? Look at all other apple products.

I have to say that depending on what the reviews are for the G Nex i may have to consider the iphone.

ONLY because i am a world traveler and it would be nice to have one phone that works everywhere i go. Now when i travel i have to swap back to my World Crackberry Bold if i want cell use where i'm going...that is painful.

Don't do it mann! Trust me, as Android users we are just ahead of the game and spoiled with customization. iphone doesn't provide the luster it once did. I know the lines are huge and people are still clammering to get that piece of Fruit, but id have to say it's past its greatness from a tech point of view. The A5 in there doesn't make a huge difference from the 4, and Suri is a novelty that is still in beta....Maybe the 5 will bring Apple to where we all look at it and go...Wowww! By then who knows what Jellybean will be like...lol

If ya need a phone to go out if the states with...peep the Blackberry Bold 9930. I use it for business... Thing is on the money

Lol...yes Android beats Apple at a number of things. However, there comes a time when you just appreciate technology for what it's worth. The iphone is a beautiful piece of hardware (lil small IMO) but still beautiful all around. If it was 4G, and maybe had a 4 inch screen, then I would possibly really give it a hard look and entertain the idea of making it my daily driver. But as of now, there is no 4G piece of fruit coming any time soon, so it looks as though i'm rocking with my lil green man for a while.

Lol, I knew you were a phone wh**e but damn that takes the cake. jk Sean.

Thanks for the input on the Bionic vs IP4s.

I say, don't fall for the Iphone 4s because it's not worth it. Wait for the real upgrade next year from Apple.
 
yeah i have a Bold 9650 that i use when i need to. It just sucks having to go back that far in tech on a phone.

Yes...I'm the ultimate phone whore...lmao

I don't think I'm far from you with phone whoring. I'll have a bionic in the morning, free.

My TB and the reset issue pissed me off so much, I finally went apeshyt on Verizon and told them whats up.

Over-nighting me a NEW bionic, free.

I guess thats what $300 a month for 6-7 years gets you. "free" phones lol.
 
this thread is a fail. why would you think you could go back to a 3G device after having 4G... iphone is the best hardware quality phone hands down but without 4G it is a FAIL!

So the thread and the iphone are a fail!

Lol, I guess 4 million people thought differently.

And maybe you missed the part about me saying the phone needed 4G IMO.
 
Common sense says the 4S needs 4G. I just dont see the point of the thread. You tried to go backwards in cell phone technology. Why not go back to a flip phone? Oh that sounds far fetched? So does going from a 4G to BACK 3G phone.

And 4 million people are sheep. Waiting to be herded to the next "no longer being progressive" iphone.
 
best post on the internet, hands down.

Well its true... probably 75% of those people were I phone 4 owners who just had to have the latest and greatest.

Heck, on the TV I saw a commercials and still do for a company that buys iphone 4 because they know people are ditching their old ones for the new one. Lame
 
I can't believe the little green guy is even still speaking to you! At the very least you owe him flowers and dinner.

Maybe a new case, too.
