So it has been one week since my wife and I switched over from android to the I-phone 4s.
Thought I would share my experience for those that are in the same boat as I was on switching over.
I had the original Evo 4G, my wife had the Evo shift4G.
I had gotten to the point where I rooted my phone. I got sick of the white sense screen after exiting programs. My wife kept her phone stock but would always get the white sense screen when exiting programs. We were with sprint for 13 years. Lately sprints service has really gotten really bad where we live. Decided to switch to AT&T. Had to decide if we stay with android
Or go to Apple. Now I have been a big android fan. I actually put down the I-phone
a lot in the past. Screen size , fact you couldn't modify things, etc.
So everyone around me was picking up the I-phone. I had business customers that
had switched from blackberry or android to the I-phone and loved it.
So I went into an AT&T corporate store to play with the phones. It old the worker it was between
the skyrocket or the I-Phone. The employee was like both are great phones. But usually android people stay with android and appl stay with apple, but lately they were seeing more android customers switching to the I-phone.
As I was playing with the two phones (skyrocket and I-phone) I really was surprised I could type better on the smaller I-phone screen than the 4.5" skyrocket. Don't get me wrong the screen is nice on he skyrocket. But I still found the smaller text much easier to read on the I-phone 4s.
So then had the wife's sister's kid spend the night and got to play with her latest I-pod touch.
Compared it to my Evo and the web browsers.
I was impressed with the clarity. Pretty much had me sold that I could go down to the smaller screen size and still be happy.
Here are my thoughts after one week of switching to the I-phone.
* operating system just works!!!! Very clean, very polished.
* screen/size= amazing clarity. My wife keeps staring at it and says "it looks so fake it's so clear"
* pocketable compared to my Evo 4g with the extended battery. Easier to handle.
* typing. Can type more accurate. My wife adjusted rather quickly coming from a keyboard phone.
* battery life= simply put AMAZING!! maybe cuz we are on AT&T but battery life just lasts all day long!
Plus when you do have to charge it. This phone charges so fast. Like in two hours it's fully charged! Love that!!
* Speaker= very clear. Not as loud as my Evo but... Much more clear sounding. Better depth.
* Siri= it works! Bottom line it just works. Wife loves it.
* Camera= simply put. The best on an American carrier phone. Pics are just amazing. The other reason for switching to the I-phone.
* stable Os. Not one crash yet! No lag at all! Love that.
* the apps are much more polished compared to android. Yes maybe not as many free apps. But
If for 99 cents the app is of better quality. It might be worth it. Love the fact that my banking apps have push to be I-phone and that Facebook actually works and pushes notifications! Reminds me of my blackberry days.
* no notification light. I thought I would miss this. Actually don't miss it at all. I am not ruled by a dang
blinking light anymore
Am I happy with my purchase and switching to I-phone from android?
My answer is YES. I really didn't think I would be this happy with a phone. Heck my wife seen the Siri/I-phone commercial and said "I love this phone" she has never said that about any phone before!!
So for all those android users thinking of switching over to I-phone 4s...
I think you will be happy. It is so nice to walk around not having to worry about battery life any more!!
Plus taking high quality pictures and he videos are amazing.
I have started to realize why people wait in rain,snow,heat for the I-phone.
Hope this post helps those on the fence.
