Haha zing! Very true.
With at&t you can keep your unlimited data plan if you upgrade. Just upgraded 5 phones (2x iPhone 5 & 3x Note 2) and kept all unlimited plans.
If only I could keep my unlimited data AT&T plan, I'd get one of these
in a heartbeat...
Ugly phone with no character. 4 scews on the back makes it look cheap. Front is so vanilla that it exudes boredom.
Character? It's a phone. They all look pretty much the same when it comes down to it. What do you expect- what do you want the front of your phone to look like?
I wasn't actually trying to zing anyone, just the comment about any phone looking vanilla on the front is silly. I mean how vanilla is this?

Vanilla? Yes. Good looking? Yes. Looks like everything else? Yea, that too.
What else does someone want? What else could there actually be? It's a black rectangle with a home button. Just like a million other phones. What other design could there be? A round phone? Maybe a pyramid shaped phone? No, the shape and design makes sense. Hell, before we had cell phones all phones had the same basic shape and all had their number buttons laid out the same.
Some camps on here criticize android hand sets for having soft keys while at the same time saying the iphone should ditch the home button. What will it have then? A magic connection to your brain that tells it to wake up? No, it will have a friggin soft key.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to keep it. I've had it since I got my first iPhone (3G) and was able to keep it when I upgraded to a Samsung Captivate, switched back to an iPhone 4, and still with my S3. They had to 'swap' it to an LTE plan, but it's still $30/month and unlimited.So you think I can upgrade my iPhone to that shiny new Sony Z
and be able to keep my plan?
I'd prefer a capacitive button or on screen button. Could be completely software on screen. Home button could be swipe from the bottom. Etc etc.
You act that your lack of imagination means there's no alternative.
Sincerely,
A 4S owner with a dying home button
When you say "All these Android phones" - Which ones are you comparing?
As for "Super dated" - What about ios?! Still looks exactly the same as it did 6 years ago!
I think apple are anything but safe when it comes to iphones. Nokia & RIM spring to mind.
OMG, those images shows just how dated iOS is. Apple couldn't even bother to update icons with a more modern look.

Ios has changed and improved of course. But not at the speed or effectiveness as android. If you want to compare pictures of old Ios vs now Ios and call that innovation or evolution or whatever compliment, imagine pictures of old android vs now android; what would you call that then?
To be fair Android desperately needed a facelift before Honeycomb. It hasn't changed much since then, just slight tweaks (could use another overhaul, IMO).
iOS was better-looking out of the gate, and I still think it's the better-looking OS in most regards (aside from the egregious Game Center). But Google is definitely improving and willing to improve, unlike Apple. Matias Duarte seems committed to polishing up and enhancing the software design, which makes me more hopeful for Android's future than iOS's, in that department.
From a look standpoint iOS has not changed much, but from a feature standpoint it does with each new 1.0 update
