As much as I like my iPhone 4 I was always annoyed as to how small the screen was. Excuse for me saying so but 3.5" is tiny, real tiny. Well especially now that I have bought a Samsung Note. It's funny to as I'm a very petite woman. I found that I the Note was extremely usefull when surfing and writing letters, even emails. I still have my iPhone 4 but I'm using it less and less. I understand that Android is a very sore subject here but I actually quite like it, this is my first Android phone. I couldn't believe how much I missed having a file manager, I now use it more then any other app that I have. I didn't know this was possible but I have my work and home network mounted as a normal folder. I can open up and manipulate any file.
The pen that comes with the Note is also extremely usefull, I have now replaced my notepad and pencil with it. That screen, oh my gosh that screen, excuse me again but Samung know's how to make a screen. With a resolution of 1280 x 800 it makes viewing everything including media a real pleasure. I also figured how to root my device and overclock it. I now run it at a normal speed of 1700 MHZ with only a 5 percent loss of battery.
I appologise for subjecting you guys to a point of view of just another person who turned to the dark side but I trully wish Apple would also make the absurd. The Samsung Note is absurd in everyway but it's also really great. The iPhone is still a good phone but I have out grown it. After seeing how much control I have with Note and how great a large screen can be I think I will skip the iPhone a couple of generations till it can catch up.
I'm not talking about catching up with cpu power, display technology or even design something Apple clearly understands. I'm talking about rebelion from the norm, absurdity, pushing the envelope, freedom to do what you want with a OS.
I'm starting to babble, I will skip the next two iPhones in hope that Apple will give me a larger screen, MiniSD card, filemanager, able to plug the phone into any computer and mount it as a drive, removeable battery in the future. The list goes on and on, my eyes are now opened to what's out there. Where this girls was once a iPhone only person has now become a owner of a Samsung Note, Nokia N9 and a hopefully a Nokia 808 when it's release next month.
