I'm Mac through and through love the dam things don't get me wrong...iPod, iMac, iPad, iPhone i've got the lot but I must say I have been looking @ other phone options just recently
Maybe I'm getting itchy feet waiting for the iPhone 5 but how different is it *really* going to be over the 4 or 3GS? Same OS with tweaks here and there, probably still the best out but having owned an iPhone for many years now it's beginning to lose it's 'cool' factor in my eyes
Anyone else feeling the same? Considered ditching the platform for a year for maybe something else?
Nope. I love my iPhone 3GS and have no desire to even look at any phone that doesn't start with an i.
I know that feeling. When the iphone 4 came out I had an Iphone 3GS. I wanted to try something new, so instead of going for the 4 I bought a Samsung Galaxy S.
It didn't even last me one month, I sold the SGS and bought a 3GS again. Have I not experimented, I could've afforded an iPhone 4 But thats life, sometimes you make a bad choice and you have to live with it.
Now I'm really anxious for the iPhone 5. But I no longer feel the need to try Android or even Windows 7. I've done that already, and it was a disappointing choice.
When it comes to PCs, I actually prefer Windows 7 (being a gamer and all). So I'm not really what you would call an apple fanboy. But when it comes to phones and tablets - iOS is the best for me personally.
I know there are some guys out there who like to play with and tweak their phones 24/7 and I can understand why they would prefer Android.

Haha One of the best replies by far

You never know something revolutionary like cut and paste may stop us from changing
haha!Joking aside some people get where I'm coming from though. We've had the iPhone, 3G, 3GS, 4 but essentially they are all very much the same...
I'm just hoping they really hit the ball out of the park with the 5 , I have no idea what but I want it to have that wow factor again. The 4 doesn't do that for me and wasn't worth the upgrade from the 3GS
No it won't.
So what? The whole point of "retina" is that the dot pitch is such that you cannot distinguish them, so you go have your "better than retina" display that people are unable to appreciate.
Jaw droppingly inaccurate, yes.
"Supposed to be"...in other words, you have no clue whatsoever.
Your arguments above are so unconvincing. Wanna' try again?
So tell me, apart from the physical design differences (which iPhone has too), and the "skins" that some operators put over Android (which iPhone thankfully does not have), how are all of the Android phones much different? They are essentially all very much the same, just from different providers, and hence build qualities.

Those wanting the greatest phone ever will be let down. Those just expecting updated iPhone hardware running iOS 5 will be more than happy I'm sure.
Agreed, what a tw@. Looking @ post history I'm not the only one to be criticized for a similar thread. If you don't like it don't read it instead of throwing toys out of prams
Well I'm not bored with it. I mean a new app, a new game and it feels new again. That being said I am very excited about getting the latest and greatest when the finally decide to release the 5.
Pot calling the kettle? Moaning about people moaning is nothing if not hypocritical.If you don't like it don't read it instead of throwing toys out of prams
Consider yourself lucky. I have a Nexus S 4G and it blows. It lags constantly, typing on it is a nightmare, and the battery dies by 1 PM.
I think it is a case of people just not being "wowed" by today's smart phones because they have been out for a few years now. Sure they are always adding new feature, but the transition from the cell phone to the smart phone was what made it so exciting.
When the iPhone 5 comes out, it have some new features, and maybe a bigger screen, but the "wow" factor will be nothing compared to what it was like going from a regular cell phone to the first "iPhone" .
Just my opinion.

No, I'm not bored of the iPhone. I am anxiously awaiting the release of iOS 5 though. I decided to un-jailbreak my phone since it will likely be a while before iOS 5 is jailbroken (especially untethered), so I decided to go back to stock to get used to it again. So I'm a bit bored with the stock iOS installation at the moment, but it's still a wonderful OS and phone.
I personaly dislike the AMOLED screens. Its like an overly tuned TV with contrast set on full.
The Retina display on the other hand is "Jaw dropping beautiful".
Yes, and everytime I try and android I see how much laggier (IMO) the OS is and I go back to my iphone with its faster UI. Or i try a blackberry, its fine at first and I love how fast I can communicate with people but eventually it just doesnt do all the things my iphone does so I go back.
@ People not approving an iPhone: don't waste your time here. This place is not for you, and not because the iPhone is the best phone in the market -- it's because of the people visiting it.
I'll agree that the text is "jaw dropping" crisper and sharp looking, but I honestly can't tell much of a difference everywhere else in the OS between the 4 and my 3GS.
...but wait until you see Apple's new 4" "Ocular" display. Amazing!
I get a little bored with it, but I'd rather having everything working as I am already used to. That's why I haven't really switched. Android is interesting, but there's a lot I wouldn't be able to do.

try texting girls, you'll never be bored of it
No it does not bore me. It does everything I want it to do and perfectly well in the process.
Android bored me eventually (before my iPhone I had a G1 then a Nexus One) I just prefer the sheer number of apps to explore on iOS so it makes it impossible to get bored with.
I know it's getting better and better on Android but I dont regret making the switch to my first iPhone. There are a couple of things I miss on Android (mostly Swype and notifications) so I'm actually glad that Apple has copied Androids notification system haha.
