Saying the hardware on the iPhone sucks is completely laughable. the display on the iPhone obliterates any other smart phone on the market. The OS is great and hasn't had any sort of malware issues like Android has...at least that I am aware of.

This iPhone update is pretty bad ass imo. FaceTime is pretty sweet. Hopefully it will get approved as a standard for video chats so it can be incorporated into any smart phone.

I feel like it might finally be the time for me to get one too. I'm carrying a phone and my iPod Touch everywhere now anyway, and using two devices for things you could easily do with just one is such a hassle.

Im so stoked for this to come out.

As far as androids go they are great and the software is pretty damn good too. But I have yet to come across one that has the touch response that the iphones have. It could be just me but thats my big selling point for the iphones, not having to tap the same thing more than 1 time.

derp derp derp derp

Just stop, now - we don't need another one of these endless discussions.

They are endless arent they

I just got tired of being tied down with my phone. If your happy with your iPhone more power to ya

I've been an Android user for about a year and a half (HTC G1 - which is now a dinosaur) and I try to keep up on the latest and greatest Android stuff.

Even I think the new Iphone looks VERY sexy.

 

[guitarguru777]

Oh ... 1 more dig

Adobe Flash works on my phone

Oh dont get me wrong its sexy as fuck! I just dont like people telling me what I can and cant do with MY phone. Especially when I pay $300+ for it.

I honestly never have any issues with having a phone without flash. All the sites I regularly visit don't use it.

I'm stoked for the better battery life and faster processor, that had me sold right there. I hope I can get some iPad-esque use out of it, the battery in that thing lasts forever.

I'm with ya.. the Droid is really good (better than anything that came out before it, minus iPhone) but the touch response still doesn't match the accuracy of iPhone IMO

I really want one, but am on Verizon

I love the freedom I get with Android (and it's general look and feel) - without even having to manipulate the firm-/software. Of course, Google's involvement isn't particularly unobtrusive but I never had that "my way or the highway" feel that I had using the iPhone.

Android handsets feature a ridiculous fast evolution. On hardware AND software. So it's no wonder why the market share grows almost exponentially.

I actually don't see the iPhone 4 making a big leap ahead the competition, it's more like they're catching up for a minute as there are not only Android, but also Symbian 3 and Windows Phone 7, handsets about to be released which are on par with the iPhone 4 as far as hardware and features go (general handling is too subjective of course).

The iPhone 4 will most likely be significantly outdated by the end of the year (going purely by hardware specs and features).

But...

Of course it will be super successful. The iPad's success has shown (once again) clearly that many Apple products' success is rather based on added value than core features.

If you're happy with your iPhone, rawk on!

I lust for one in the worst way, specifically because I know there are apps to do everything I want to do (mainly just Guitar Pro), and because of the stability of the OS and screening process the apps have to go through, it's all guaranteed to work flawlessly! Plus, the battery life is in the absolute top-tier of smartphones, and the touch screen is incredible (and the resolution on the new one is 960x640 ). And I just love how intuitive everything is in terms of the touch commands, in typical Apple fashion (no I don't even own a Mac...yet )

And really, I don't get what you guys who feel crippled by the iphone OS need to do...

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Oh yeah, and Sprint coverage blows around here

 

[LydonB]

And really, I don't get what you guys who feel crippled by the iphone OS need to do...

I think a lot of it has to do with iOS being "closed." It isn't as customizable as people would like it to be. Many people hate that certain apps are not available on the iPhone because the phone has to be jailbroken in order to get these apps.

 

[slashvanyoung]

because of the stability of the OS and screening process the apps have to go through, it's all guaranteed to work flawlessly

Flawlessly working apps on one side, arbitrary censorship on the other.

The OS itself is rock solid on both platforms.

It's not like your taking much of a chance with Android apps.
