Bought my wife a htc sensation and it puts the iphones to shame. The front screen is animated and much, much faster than the current iphone 4. Stands to reason it will be faster than the 4s. I wouldnt be so hung up on these phones... they are giving the 3g away now.

 

Have the 4 now, do not want the 4s.

Do want the 5 if/when they Finaly drop it.

 

sorry not much change for the 4g other than aesthetics not worth it in my book

 

I probably will, I'm tired of my huge Droid X

 

I think if I still had my Sony Ericsson Satio or an iPhone 3/3GS I'd consider it. Most people I know already have a recent gen smartphone, either Android or iPhone 4 and I can't see any of them wanting to change for a small jump in performance.

 

Going nexus prime instead for unlocked bootloader etc

 

Would it be worth going 64GB instead of 32?

Seconded!

By the time the 5 drops i'll be over 2 years into my 3 year contract, so i'll be able to wiggle out and upgrade.

Of course, i'll have to see what the market looks like at that time. The Samsung Galaxy S II is definition of sexay if you asked me.

 

I'm getting the 32gb at launch hopefully!

 

Ima get the Focus S when I get an upgrade for my line (or the titan but who knows)! 4s doesn't look too bad but I never play games except bejeweled/solitaire

. Don't think I would need the 4s as its similar to the 4 (used to have one) with some internal changes which is expected to keep people buying this product.

 

Wow, it's really not hard guys. If you don't plan on getting it, no need to spam the thread

 

I'm still rocking the 3g, lol was hoping for the iphone5, but might just consider the 4S. Kinda need an upgrade lol the 3g is getting a 'little' too sliuggish now

hehe, that's just how OCN is. It looks like (as it's already been said) most people already have a high end smartphone, like the iPhone 4 or similar androids.

I will get it because i'm an apple Junky. I just love iOS

I don't mind, I just wanted to see some banter regarding the 4S

 

IMO the real star of the 4S is IOS 5 and not the unit itself. Of course, in order to run said OS, they needed to get the A5 in there with decent thermals / battery life.

Well he asked if we would get it or not... people are just answering his question tbh.

And nope i'm not getting it, i'll probably go for the nexus prime or something when i get to pick my new phone.

 

Question: Why do people upgrade their phones so much?

 

I'm tired of plowing through broken refurbs of my original Droid, and my g/f wants to upgrade to a "real person phone" from her nonsmartphone, so we're probably both going to get a 4s. I don't tinker a lot with my phone, I just want something that works - so having to a root an Android phone to really get the perfomance out of it is not that appealing. I like the QC that Apple puts into its products, even at the cost of "locking it down". I browse the web, check facebook, do normal communication stuff, and play a game or two on occasion... iPhone 4s it is.

I'm not entirely sure, I've been through at least 8 phones this year alone. Not sure why. I just like new toys

 

I'm pretty content with my 4 for the time being.

 

what I could always do is buy a 4 on the cheap and skip the 4S

 

I don't know
I don't want to waste my upgrade then miss out on the good stuff next year
Then again I'm still on a 3G so
Tough decision

Why do people upgrade parts in their PC so much (least here on OCN)

The world may never know.

If you get a new contract the 4G is $99, which is a STEAL.

I do it because it makes sense for me. I usually buy the 16GB version for $200 and jailbreak/unlock it. I keep it for a year and when the new phone comes out, I sell my unlocked, contract-free phone on Craigslist for around $400. Then I pay $450 for the new iPhone. It costs me $450 instead of $200 because I'm not yet eligible for a free upgrade. The next year, I am eligible for an upgrade, sell my unlocked phone again for $400 and buy the new one for $200.

Keeping your phone unlock-able makes it so easy to get a nice price for it on Craigslist and even after the tax and $18 upgrade fee, I only end up paying around $100 one year to upgrade to the latest phone. Then the next year, I end up coming out $100 ahead (because I now have the free upgrade eligibility). It all balances out but I get the latest iPhone every year.

If that's not a cool story, bro, I don't know what is.
