my phone battery has definitely improved. 40% at end of day now instead of 20%. I don't see an issue with charging my phone every night. really not a big deal.

      At the end of the day, the iPhone will always be nicerand easier to use, more classy, and the phone of choice for people arent trying to do too much.. simply cause at all the basci "smartphone" stuff, its better ahnds down. better camera, better UI by FAR, nice and neat to use, and that Res on such a small screen is unmatched by your droids.

      Trust me to some extent, I had the SGS2 and got so over it.

      As for battery life, when you use your SGS2 and you CONSTANTLY use task maanger to kill apps, you CONSTANTLY clear the ram, and keep all the settings off, yes, you can get to the second day.. but with the iPhone, I get at least 18 hours, and just leave bluetooth everything on like normal. When I got my GF to test the SGS2 out (she hates it), she could only get half a day out of it (with all the normal iphone things on). Really, the iPhone has a better battery, and thats from experience of both, ive had the SGS2 since June 1st this year, and finally opened my iPhone 4GS up about 2 weeks ago now.

      The only thing the Android is better at, imo, is that it as flash which is fantastic on the SGS2.. oh and not forget swipe, but for nearly everything else the iPhone wins hands down, no fanboyism, no loyalty to any brand, just my real world of experiencing both over a few months (ive had iphones before too..)

      And to be honest I have started to get turned off by ANdroids caue they are getting so large.. like look at the RAZR, 4.5 Inch screen size phone with only a 4.3 screen.. man its getting ugly and brodering ridiculous, just get a tablet at that size point.

      Androids = Nerdy gadget
      Apple = Classy simple.

        Another important news is that Apple is working with AT&T to release a special variant of the Iphone that works with AT&T's LTE network. There may even be a Lumia device running on Verizon's LTE network.

          What this means is that they will either wait for the next version of Windows Phone 7, a.k.a. Tango, or will go ahead with a slightly updated version of Mango.

          Another important news is that Nokia is working with AT&T to release a special variant of the Lumia 800 that works with AT&T's LTE network. There may even be a Lumia device running on Verizon's LTE network.

              and that's why the screen of iphone4s is so fragile and easier to be cracked when you accidently drop it.

              another poor quality management from apple :)

                  I've found that my battery lasts MUCH longer now since the upgrade of software! Twice the power!

                    There is also connectivity issue. I lose very often connection to my GSM provider after installing ios 5. I have to reset my iPhone in order to get the connection to my GSM network.

                        Blankman, 12 Nov 2011Where did I mention cases, or use any poor analogies like y... moreExactly, get a case for your phone.. for what? To protect it, am i right? You want your device to be scratch free, to be perfect cosmetically, so you put in cases..

                        I know you did not mention at all about cases, i just point out the example of it because people want to protect their phones.. and brittle glass doesn't give any protection at all..

                        And you saying that people should not drop their device and get insurance is plainly ridiculous.. why? Because accident happens.. yeah, s#*t happens everyday.. we can't expect accident free living..

                        And no, there isn' any Gorilla Glass in iPhone 4/4S. the quality is simply different.. you can tell by various videos and tests.. those sites that states it is Gorilla are at most uninformed, or, better yet, a fanboy like you who can't accept that their iPhones' display is made of lesser quality and durability glass than Gorilla Glass.. just stab your iPhone with a pen.. see if it can survive.. mine can.. because it has Gorilla Glass..

                        Oh, wait, i forgot that you are those who put their phones in cages, with maximum security so that you won't have a chance of dropping accidents.. yeah, sorry about that..

                        Anyway, i just hope the issue of battery will be solved.. i am not really a fan of apple products, but i still want to see that apple will grow, along with other great companies along.. i just can't stand fanboys who make stupid comments and didn't think much before they made those comments.. grow up, think and learn.. don't just take in what others tell you without doing more research about it.. cus that's exactly what you need to do when you graduate from junior school..

                                        When Apple acknowledge some issues and put solutions into it, iPhone haters are just so eager to make the issue big. Much more if Apple denies and protect their product where people hates the company with their live. Get a life people, don't be such illiterate.
