My Blackberry Tour has been temperamental for the past few months (freezing, randomly rebooting, buttons/trackball not responding, battery dying extremely quickly, and so on.) Since I've had an iPod Touch for a few years and a 1st Gen iPad for about a year I wanted to go with the iPhone 4s. DH didn't think I "needed" it. Got a new Droid Razr on Tuesday and ended up going back to Verizon this am to return it and order an iPhone. The battery on the Razr literally died within six hours overnight the 1st night I had it! It was just sitting on my nightstand, and I went to bed with a 90% charge still on the battery. Had to make a lot of "battery saving" adjustments including turning off the 4G just to get through a normal eight hour day! The preloaded audio and email apps kept crashing, even after shutting them down and adding them to the "auto off" list.
Enough already! DH finally agreed that the iPhone made sense for me. The Blackberry is back on and hopefully holds out until my iPhone gets here!

Well, Blackberry, it's been real. I crossed over to the dark side.
My new iPhone is waiting at my apartment office

My work phone is an Incredible. If Sprint had that, I would've gotten that instead of the iPhone. I love it.
For now, this old iPhone will have to do. Screw the 5 -- I'll wait until 2014 to get that lol

I don't understand all the hype for the iPhone 5. My Android device does all the same things as the iPhone plus I have Google Maps and YouTube.

Yep! In fact, many analysts think there are phones on the market that do more/are better than iPhone. I LOVE my new Samsung Galaxy S III.

Loved my Galaxy S I, I can upgrade now and I'm torn between a Galaxy Advance and Galaxy Note. Love the SIII but I'd have to pay a lot extra to get the phone, I don't call nearly enough to get it for free.

I really want the Note. Get it so you can tell me how it is!
