Not to mention I dont like the lack of freedom. I would never use any smart phone to the complete capacity 1 could but I do hate that I am limited to the apple store, and they can do what they want with my phone. Why would you delete the youtube app that was loaded on the phone but then allow them to be in the itunes store? Or google maps, why did they delete it just to release an apple maps that is almost exactly the same as google maps? The price for each phone is the same with upgrade and we are in hopes to score some holiday prices when it comes time. My iPhone is still working ok, battery life seems to be going and so is the ear speaker (or i am going deaf) and meg's iphone home button works on like every 5th click. She has had her's since the first day and I have had mine 2 years and its lived a hard 2 years with many hours in my garage, dusty trails, bottom of the dog's water bowl a time or 2 so i know the phones will last.
1 thing very important for me is battery life. My 9 hour day can quickly turn into a 12-13 hr day without warning. I have a backup battery but I dont always have it with me. Right now using my phone in the morning, sitting in my vest for 9 hours with wifi off and a little use now and then I am usually around 70% full when I get home. I have read several reports of the other smart phones having worse battery life and the 5 is supposed to have improved life over the 4.
