Unhappy Was......Was it a mistake? D:

Hi
I got the verizon iphone about a month ago and I am pretty satisfied but I have one problem.....
I dont really feel all that ...."Happy"
sure I love that battery life and the super crystal clear screen. But damn i just dont feel as good as I used to when i was with android.
Im kinda thinking that getting the verizon iphone was a mistake....
And yes I jailbroke it and did all the crazy sh*t but I dont get the happyness that I did with the android phone i had.
Can you guys try to change my mind
thanks ^^

We're not here to beg you to stay. If you want to leave, then leave. However, describe this happy feeling....

Probably not. That's why Baskin-Robbins has 31 flavors... because we all have our likes and dislikes...

If you gave it an honest shot and still prefer the android platform, more power to you... One should never choose a tech device because someone else has one/uses one/likes it... you have to be comfortable with what you have and use... and just because I love my iPhone (as do many others), doesn't mean that it's the right phone for you... there are lots of android phones out there with lots of happy customers...

I came from an Evo which I loved. What I didn't love was the random battery crap outs and other various software flaws of a less polished operating system. I wouldn't go back.

Well the happy feeling of being free.
I have to admit that the iOS system actually "works" unlike androids unfinished products.
I know that nobody is making me stay

I have had Android and many other iOS devices. Yes, there some major wins for Android like widgets and customization. But iOS works well the battery is a huge win. I love how I can play games and stream Netflix without worrying about if my battery will last till the end of the day.

Call me OCD but I prefer the unifomality of iOS. I like how all the icons are the same shape and size. I like how there are always new apps that are good and worthwhile. Granted, there are garbage apps, but the Android market is flooded with random garbage like a new digital clock that causes your phone to crash.

We won't try to hold you back, you have to decide what phone is the best for you. We will help you out with any questions you have to help the iPhone better serve you but if you want a Droid then go for it. No hurt feelings here, I want everyone to be happy.

After having my iphone for a week or two (coming from an Evo) I started to have regrets as well. I really like Android, and miss it dearly. But I DON'T miss the battery life issues and bugginess of the software. I am happy with the iphone because it is a little more stable for me. The way I see it is I am going to give the Android handset makers a little time to catch up with the software. I think by the time my upgrade rolls around in 20 months there will have been some advances in battery technology and I can give Android another try at that point... Until then, I am not going to think about it and give the iphone a fair shot. I am looking forward to iOS 5 and hope it brings some major improvements to the notification system. Just don't worry about it and enjoy your phone.
