Hello everyone I am new to this site, and new to the iphone. My first smart phone was an android, I used it and was quite pleased for the first year. Then it did a software update and started to run very slowly and I had to shut it off and pull the battery out to get it to work right. I had been waiting a long time for sprint to get the iphone so when I saw they were I was very excited. Being that my phone was giving me trouble I bought an iphone 4s with my upgrade. I had two weeks to try it out and still be able to return it if I decided it wasn't for me. So I tried it out, I loved having my itunes right on my phone as I have always had an ipod and this was the main reason that I was interested in the iphone. The screen while small was amazingly clear, it feels good in your hand and is a quality product. All the apps I like to use worked very smooth. Despite all of that I was being told by everyone that worked at sprint stores, and everything I saw on line that the Samsung Galaxy S2 was the best smart phone out there. Since I like to use my netflix app a lot I figured the 4.5" screen would be nice and I was worried about the no 4G capability of the iphone. So I gave in and returned the iphone and got the galaxy. Boy was that a mistake, it worked great for about a week and a half and then it went to crap. All the apps I like to use started freezing up, a few days after that started, the phone would continuously shut off and turn back on by itself. It would even turn off while trying to make a phone call. So I brought it in and they did a hard reset on it, saying that 95% of the time that fixes any problems even though they had never heard of the problems I was having. 30 minutes after I left the store the 2nd phone call I tried to make the phone shut off by itself again. So I went back and they gave me a brand new phone. Needless to say I sold that phone the next day and bought the iphone 4s again. Now I am not what they call an apple fanboy, I do not know a lot about technology, but I do have certain apps I like to use and do a lot of web browsing with my phone. I love siri for searching things and setting reminders, and I love the itunes. I am gettign apple tv for christmas and am pumped about that too. The thing I love the most about the phone so far is that it just works. I don't think you should have to worry that if you do a software update on your phone that it is going to turn into a piece of crap afterwards. Anyways I know that I have rambled on here but wanted to let you folks know why I am now a iphone user.
Out of curiousity though, is anyone else a little confused and nervous about the lack of 4G capability? I don't want to feel like this phone is completely outdated after a few months because of this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
