Thinking about pruchasing an iPhone.

Read where the new edition will be released this fall.

1. What are your experiences with iPhones.
2. Do you suggest another brand that you like better than the iPhone?
3. Do you think I need to wait for the updated version to be released?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Love love love the iphone. I had a blackberry before and they are worlds apart. Iphone is very user friendly and has The Most apps of any smartphone out there.

Much like fondling a reel in bps i have played around with droids and they are ok but i will not trade my iphone for anything.

Do you need to wait? IDK i have the iphone4 and it does everything i need it to do and more. Can't really say if its worth waiting because i dont know what kind of improvements they will have.

Really its gonna be like a shimano vs daiwa vs abu type of argument with iphone vs droid vs galaxy.

I hate my iPhone and I hated my droid.

the only reason I hate my iPhone is I hate apple products yes user friendly but you can only use their products. Using the internet on my droid was much much easier and user friendly compared to the iPhone. If I wanted to download a video or picture I could or post a pic I could. With the iPhone you have to down load an app to do anything extra and you have to pay for the apps yes they are better but even the free ones only do so much before you have to buy the paid version. The Gps on the droid is also better IMHO I relied on it heavily for when i worked deliveries over the summer for the school doing moves I switched to the iPhone half way threw the season and it was the worst gps I had ever dealt with the junk the military gives us works better or a watch type garmin was more accurate then that iPhone.

How ever there are alot of supporters of all the phones all with great points me personally I probably couldn't live with out a smart phone but hate all of them lol

Sam, what would you be doing specifically with a smart phone and narrow down your choices from there. I think like technique specific combos, what works best for you. I have the iPhone 4 and it does what I need it to do for my work and lifestyle.

Go Driod with 4G service, not stuck using what Apple allows you to use on your own property and the 4G service is extremely fast.

Get the samsung galaxy s3. I got mine last week and couldnt be happier. It does everything very, very well. I don't care what features the current our future generations of Iphones have, the exclusive content junk they put you through is ridiculous...The hoops you have to jump through with the itunes store to get YOUR media is a joke.

Iphone has better apps, and is more user friendly. Love the flexible wifi, bluetooth, 3G features. Very nice camera and video on the 4. My wife had a HTC and we took it back to the store after a couple weeks. The HTC and windows phones run apps constantly and do other retarded stuff. Why do you need to purchase a program to kill the apps is beyond me? and almost all the junk on the HTC like blockbuster can't be deleted. So where is the freedom there, apple doesn't force you to keep junk from any vendor. It is too each his own. We have had Iphones since the orignial. My only complaint with the 4 is the cell signal. but other than that I love it. JMO

Question for the non Iphone users can you turn your phones to a wifi hotspot?

My only complaint with the 4 is the cell signal.

Who uses their iPhone to make calls anyway, lol. I like my iPhone just fine. Sam, you should probably find a friend with one, and play with it.

Well I should clarify, the 4's singal is worse than my 3gs, but I am also using the older model of the 4 not the 4s so if your getting the new one I wouldn't even worry the issue is probably been fixed

[J Francho]

I have a 4s, the phone reception sucks. It's OK, I hardly use the phone anymore.

and to think a year ago I was in your boat and all you had a was a track phone and didn't understand the need for anything else and left smart phones for the family lol

[J Francho]

You know it, bro. I'm all sucked into it.

maybe they didn't fix it then LOL but yeah it isn't enough of a reason to make me switch to a droid or windows phone or whatever they are.

[AK-NJ1986]

I have the 4s for Verizon and my service is fine.

I use to be an iphone HATER and had the droid, then I got the iphone and joined the cult. I swear by it now! I has and basically does everything.

I will definitely be getting the new iphone when it comes out. The only thing they need to fix is the clarity of the camera zoom and make the video camera be able to zoom.

I'm not sure if I am the only person who has figured this out but apple just releases bit by bit for their phones so they can say it is NEW. We all know they have the capability to make a flawless phone but why release that now when you can keep on cashing in. That is why they are a multi BILLION dollar company.


I'd wait if I were you until they release the new iphone and go out and get it. I have the white 4s... I want them to make a silver new one and i will be all over that

[clayton86]

If you don't want to wait get the phone from best buy there insurance is cheaper and better then carriers offered insurance plus if a new one is released within so many days i think its 60 or 90 you can swap yours for the new one that's what my wife did with hers I kept mine at the 4 she bumped to the 4s.
