I retire in December and my company 3 GS will go back to them. I look forward to peaceful nights without that goddam ding! I can’t turn it off because of emergencies, but to my mind it’s a goddam leash! I’ll be well rid of it. I will replace it with nothing.

I bet you can get the iPhone 4GS. It may be a while for the iPhone 5. The iPhone 4GS , like the 3 compared to 3GS, is way better compared to anything out there on the market too.

Even if the iPhone 5 comes out in a year. Last time Apple said that the 3 and 3GS buyers could upgrade and get the special rate for the phone.

I had a 3GS and a 4 and the 4 is way better. The 4GS should be a good fit for now.

Oh one more thing the iOS 5 comes out Wednesday. It has over 200 features, improvements, etc...

I still own a Dell PC, but have a iPhone 4 and iPad II. They are both great products and you will not be disappointed.

Nexus could be worth looking at.

It supposed to be the premier of the new Android Ice Cream.

The article seems on target, but I read an analysis that the new display wasn’t quite ready.

The Gs2 will be almost a year old by then. Keep your eyes open for the new Ice Cream Sandwich quad core phones arriving in quantity about that time.

Mrs. F has the iPhone 4, and I have the Samsung Droid Charge, both with Verizon. We made our respective choices based on time of product release & what our particular smartphone needs were at that time.

iPhone 4:

• PROs:
  • Ease of use
  • Integrates well with other Apple products such as iTunes & Address Book
  • More apps than Droid phones
• CONs:
  • Battery life < 1 day
  • While phone preferences are customizable, they're not as customizable as the Droid phone
  • Mrs. F doesn't care for the Calendar feature, which isn't as detailed or functional as she'd like (Palm's calendaring features were the best, she claims

Samsung Droid Charge:

• PROs:
  • Huge, crystal-clear display
  • Integrates very nicely with Google Mail & Calendar
  • Phone features more customizable than iPhone's
• CONs:
  • Not as many apps as iPhone
  • Battery life < 1 day

a friend changed from iPhone to Android and was amazed at the openness of the OS. Unchained from iTunes changed how he thinks of smart phones.

I went from Windows phone 6.5 to Android 1 year ago, and could never go back. I have the Epic 4g (Galaxy S w/keyboard) and will be going to the newest Samsung available in late spring. I’d wait for iPhone 5 if you are married to the format in more ways than you are willing to change, or jump when the new iPhones come out to Android and take the cost break.
