I'll stick with my monster turbines !

There are threads from users coming from android back to apple.

It's good to mix it up.

And I'll be one of the first to welcome you back to the dark side !!
 
I had to make a very hard decision today... well, hard for me.

I had the choice between an iPhone 4S or HTC Sensation XE (both off contract & unlocked). Judging by my name, you would have probably guessed that I chose the iPhone. You are absolutely wrong. I chose the Sensation XE.

I didn't choose it for the headphones, I own a pair of Lady Gaga Hearbeats anyway. I chose it because of its raw speed and looks. I'm not diving into specs, but generally speaking, it's faster. Looks wise, the iPhone might be glass and aluminum, but I prefer the all black with red highlights. That looks sexy to me.

I'm not computer retarded, so updates won't be a problem. I don't care if I'm getting updates a few weeks/months late... unless its a "if you don't have this, your device will self-destruct" update. All the apps I use normally are available on the Market so no huge "migration" process is need. The new HTC sync supports iTunes, so all my album art gets transferred as well.

So what am I trying to say? There are other phones out there besides iPhones ya know. ;)

You sound like you need some new earphones.
 
Where I work, we have 2 IT teams. One set moved to the Samsung Galaxy 2 and my team are all on Iphones. One of the guys in the other team originally had an iPhone 4 and then got the Samsung. The phones roughtly cost the same, but as good as the Samsung hardware is, the feel and quality of the body of the phone is terrible. Sure its light, but feels like it will break in your hands. This guy after 4 months of using the Samsung, gave it to his GF and went back to the Iphone. He said the Iphone isn't perfect but was better than the Samsung and Android. I tend to agree with him. I have the 4s and have been very happy with it. Im not a huge Apple fan. I dont have a mac, prefer a windows PC or an Ipad (no need as I have a iphone) which i think is a expensive gimick. I just like the Iphone and so far don't see anything better than it at this moment in time!
 
i got one and put it on ebay within a week, awful camera quality, the sound when recording video sound like you were recording from the bottom of a bag of crisps, pictures wouldnt focus, and worst of all the viewing angles of the screen were disgraceful, a black screen would turn grey and white even at the slightest tilt! battery lasted till about 5pm and thats with all the crap turned off and slight use, all in all junk phone. If i were to get android again ever id get sgs2 again
 
Ummm, wow.

Not saying you made the wrong decision, as you bought the phone you prefer. However, if you based your purchase on speed, theoretically you couldn't have picked a worse phone.

Theoretically does mean by benchmarks, I'll add. Personally I would have spent more time playing with the 4S, as even after a few months at hasn't "stuttered" once, if you judge performance by the UI. However, congratulations on your purchase.
 
Wasnt there a topic a few weeks back showing the iPhone 4S having the highest benchmark compared to all current phones?

Congrats on the phone, but your posting this on an iPhone forum, what do you expect us to say to this?
