Saying Goodbye

[brigsteer]

My Hero is nearly 18months old and it is time to move to my next phone later this month.
I have loved my Hero and this forum has been superb. We fought to get the 2.1 update and the help and advice here has been superb.

I am not sure what to get next. I am thinking of jumping on the bandwagon and moving to iPhone. I have had everything else (WM, Palm, Android) and now it may be time to try something else.

My worry with Android is that the software seems to quickly out grow the hardware and the handsets seem to get left behind. 18 month contracts these days are far too long to enable people to keep up with modern technology, I understand this, but I wonder if Android users suffer more from this.

However one thing I know is that I will miss this forum and the brilliant members who have offered so much great advice and humour.

Cheers,

Steve

I was in the same situation with my 18 month old Hero and recently went for the Nexus S - my wife and daughter have iPhone 4's and that was enough to convince me that that I would never be happy with moving away from Android. I'm loving the Nexus S - shiny new hardware but reassuringly familiar in all the ways I like
