I have had my iPhone 4 for a couple months now because my Blackberry died and I needed a replacement phone, the Thunderbolt was not yet released, and I was thoroughly unimpressed with the selection of Android phone at the time (with the exception of the Incredible which I knew was soon to be EOL). I went with the iPhone knowing that if I did not end up liking it, I could always sell it and make a decent return on my investment since there seem to be so many people taken with the mystique of this thing, haha.
Only two months later, I am already bored with this thing! I had it jailbroken within hours of purchase and almost all of the themes that I have found are frankly hideous. I detest itunes, and my extensive collection of .mkv videos is now useless for taking on the road, leaving them stuck on my media server and laptop, not to mention my .flac music library must be re-encoded in Apple's proprietary .alac codec. As a gmail user, if I want to get any of the lovely gmail functionality which makes me love the service, I am restricted to a web app.
I have seen many people on this forum switch from Android phones to the iPhone and I suppose I just have to ask why. You are chained to iTunes, there is no removable/upgradable storage, the brilliant android notification system blows iOS's violent and in-your-face notifications out of the water, and well iOS is really pretty ugly and cluttered. Sure the screen is beautiful, but what is the point if what is on the screen looks so jumbled.
At this point, I am seriously just considering biting the bullet and picking up a mediocre LTE phone just so I can hop on a 4G plan before they introduce a tiered pricing system even though I really do not like the Thunderbolt, Charge, or Revolution. So, Android switchers, why did you switch?? What am I missing from this thing that makes all this hassle worth it to so many people?
