Smartphones, upgrade now or wait?

I challenge you: acquire an iPhone (iPhone 4 or newer) and use it for one week. Open your mind and give a different platform a fair shake.

 

I've used iPhones for much longer than a week...

 

I've been on many platforms before, and if I were to rate them all on actually being worth a fuck, taking into account when they came out and technology available at the time...iOS/iPhone ranks pretty low.

 

I would still rate Symbian at #1 because it was running apps, had flash, copy paste, ADP2, Navigation, 3G, video calling, PTT, send contacts as business cards via bluetooth/infrared/MMS, high MP cameras with flash, photo/video editing...list goes on and on, before Android or the iPhone even existed. These are things that neither Android or iOS had until much later. Now with ICS I might even be willing to move Android to #1.

 

So when the iPhone came out, and I was already on my 3rd symbian phone, when I went to check it out (cause I was thinking about getting one) it was useless, the touch screen was cool and that was it. It wasn't even 3G for fucks sake! So I stuck with the better platform, Symbian.

 

I like Android because it's worth a fuck, and dislike iOS because it's weak, and what makes me hate iOS is people who praise it and trash Android and everything else when they have no fucking idea what they are talking about.

I had issues with my OG droid 1. Battery life, force closes, slowness and the such. I bought an HTC thunderbolt, installed Team BAMF rom, and a extended battery. I always have 4G turned on and heavy use I get about 24 hours of battery. If I don't use the phone and just have it sit on my desk I get close to a day and a half. Also nothing crashes and I have a lot of apps on my phone. No slowness either I overclock my CPU.

 

I must be doing it right and everyone else is doing it wrong?
