How are you liking your iPhone 4S?

[DissedByBush]

I'm seriously considering getting one in January.

But some of these newer Android phones that will go to 4.0 look pretty sweet too.

But the 4S has Siri and the high-quality camera, and I can use iCloud, which coupled with iTunes Match on my Mac should pretty much rule.

But I can get a lot of phone for less by going Android, especially given how cheap SD cards are these days.

Any thoughts and suggestions from current newer Android and 4S users would be appreciated.

1. I'm posting from a 4S now

I'm quite happy with it. The camera is excellent and I like the added capacity (I had a 32GB 3GS and used all but 1 GB of it - and only because I noticed I was running low on space).

2. Loving it. I upgraded from an iPhone 4 mainly to upgrade my storage (16GB to 64GB).

I would suggest going to a store and actually trying it out and see how you like it.

3. I upgraded mostly for the camera - I love having a decent camera in my pocket!

I like having 64GB, too and all the other stuff, but I'm having so much fun with the camera (still and video). Even the front-facing camera - new to me; I didn't have a 4 - is fun to play with

On edit: totally agree with your suggestion to go play with one!

4. If you have a Mac, check out this app for the iPhone 4S that was just released:

You can use the Dictation feature to send commands to your Mac. And you can add your own custom commands as well.

6. Thanks all

I have played with it, and like it. I have an old iPod Touch, so the basics of the UI are familiar.

I'm 80% towards the iPhone, but some of the newer Androids are pretty sweet.

5. The 4s is a great choice

Like others have said the camera is amazing for a phone. The Siri assistant comes in handy when I'm driving. She reads me any test messages I get safely. The screen is very clear and the darn thing just feels so solid. I bought the 32 Gig, up from my old 16 gig 3gs.

9. I'm liking Siri even more

All the stuff I couldn't do while driving I can do now.

Okay, I think that's it, iPhone in January.

I'm thinking 32 GB too.

7. Love it

My only issue may -- repeat, may -- be the screen size when web browsing. And perhaps that's me and my middle-aged eyes. Maybe I'm asking too much of it? It works great, and Siri is a blast.

8. Screen size seems about right for me

Wife has an Android with a 4" screen, and it's a little too big for usability. My current Android has a 3.2" screen, and it's a bit small. Some of the newer awesome phones like the RAZR have 4.3" screens, and it's just way too big.

I bet Apple chose 3.5" after doing massive numbers of usability tests. But then they'd do that test counting normal vision. Oops.

10. My brother-in-law bought the RAZR because of the screen size ...

but then, he's trying to do away with his laptop and use only a Smart Phone for connectivity.

Great point about Apple -- that came about through tons of research.

11. Their research is amazing

Ever wonder why the stores are so good?

They built mockups in a warehouse and had people go through them.

Ever wonder why unpacking an Apple product seems so pleasant an experience?

Because since the first Mac they run trials of people unpacking their products. They watch the video of the unpacking and listen to comments on experiences to see what to change to make the experience more pleasant.
