I'm kind of getting bored with my iphone since I don't have a jailbreak on the 4S yet, so I thought about getting it for a few minutes. The reasons that I decided to hang on to my 4S is I don't want to get rid of Siri, I have a ton of $ invested in apple app store, I like the battery life I get, and I don't want a screen that's as big as the nexus has. Because of those things, I decided that I will keep my 4S. But I did think pretty hard about getting the Nexus this morning. But I will say, I may go back to my 4 so I can have jailbreak. Just not sure if I want to give up Siri yet.

I had a Droid X before I got my iPhone 4, and I said even when I had the phone that I thought the screen was too big. It didn't feel right in my pocket, and it was awkward to type on. Some people love the big screen, I didn't LOVE it.

I just came to iPhone from a fairly new Nexus S4G. All I can tell you is that the device was such a total nightmare (connectivity issues like you cannot even imagine) that I was ready to drive my Jeep over it. Sprint finally relented and reset my upgrade because the phone is such a fail. And, I tell you this to WARN you. Don't go *there.* Just don't. I do kind of miss open source, however, with open source comes a litany of issues (problems) that you don't get when an OS and devices are controlled via a single company. You know what I have found in the few days that I have had my new iPhone 4S--the reason that these devices are so successful and the reason that Apple has such a strong loyal consumer base is because Apple actually CARES about their products. They are not churning out a new device every few months, they are not loading their phones with features that cripple their OS. The same cannot be said for any number of the producers of Android devices. Go over to Android Central and take a look at the forum thread for the Galaxy Nexus. You will see a huge number of complaints/bugs/issues and the phone was just released on Verizon, what?... yesterday? Camera issues, screen size complaints, connectivity, etc., etc., etc. Same story as with the Nexus S4G and they are still actively posting issues on that device as well. And, you will see the same die hard core of "believers" who will insist that a future update will address these issues. It is the rote answer to every issue with the Nexus line of devices. Wait for the update, an update will fix it. It is probably a rogue app--reset your phone. It goes on and on. Anyway, if I were you, I would avoid that Galaxy Nexus at all costs.

I am so glad that I made the switch. iPhone is not perfect, but it is stable and stability wins the day imo.

I did just this. Sold my iPhone 4S, bought a GSM Galaxy Nexus and got rid of it 4 days later. Now I am waiting for the iPhone 4S factory unlocked to get back in stock at the store.

The GN has a beautiful display but Android always ends up disappointing. I always get in on the hype when Android announces a big update. Then I get to use it and I fee like I got dumped on. Never again...

LOL, I am the same way. Only I went with the HTC Rezound this time instead of the GN. I always say I'll never go back to Android, but then I start reading on AndroidCentral about all the latest Android devices that are coming out and I get sucked right back into buying one. Like you, I am also waiting for Apple to get the unlocked version of the 4S in stock again. Unfortunately I've been waiting since I returned my Rezound on the 19th and it doesn't look like the unlocked 4S is going to come in anytime soon.
