Just got the S4 and I love it. I had a S2 before this one so going to the S4 was a no brainer.. I was tossed between the One and the S4 but with knowing the samsung it made my decision easy. I also love the android system,way better than apple ( for me anyways ) and the apps. they offer are pretty much the same.
My brother inlaw just switched from the apple to the Samsung because the I5 would not connect to his bluetooth and my S4 did,may have just been his phone or him for that matter..:)
It does just boil down to personel preference like anything else what you like more. The BB are good for a work phone not so much a personel phone IMO.

Ya well small things amuse small minds.

U guys can squint at Ur little screens all ya want. My HTC has been good up till the last week. Way more user friendly than a I phone ( my parents got a I phone and sat and played with both )



Like I said. Any problems with mine.

New phone over the counter.

I don't have Ur time ray to waist in a mall , in a line up , too look at a phone. Plus to go to eddy or cow town to boot.



Plus from what I have seen that every new gm vehicle that's had issues with the nav-radio-Bluetooth has been a I phone. Like one lady it showed 6 songs of the same ( but her phone only showed one in the list )

Tyred 3 different phones plus a iPod. All fine.

Spell check problems. I spend my time off watching my lawn grow.

Got rid of my iPhone 4. Picked up a s4. So glad I did . F#@$ iTunes and Apple's locked down ways.

I just really hate how I had to use iTunes. I can go to any computer now and just throw music on. I don't have to wait until I get back to my synced computer. Got tired of the syncing bull.

Yeah would be nice if you didn't have to stick with your own computer I guess. I suppose Apple wouldn't make much money that way though.

I'm not super into Apple myself, but you can't really beat the app store or itunes for that matter. Movies, music, whatever, couple simple touches and you have it. I find dinking around with BB Desktop Manager is BRUTAL.

I like buying music on my iPhone 4 and it being there still when you lose/break/crash your phone. Same as iCloud for your pictures/contacts/etc. You can also borrow an iPhone charger anywhere in the world. Bluetooth/UConnect in both my Dodge pickups. I don't notice the small screen but it sure feels big in my back pocket anyway. Easiest to use, my wife has a S4 and shes probably going to reactivate her old iPhone 3, just to have the same charger as me if nothing else.
Get an i4s and dont listen to Tex whatever you Doo!

I just picked up a LG E973 and I'm very happy with it. I had a note before this one and wow is this one fast.

Who cares if Apple wouldn't make as much money? Its All about what you as a consumer wants. Wanting to make more money is not good enough of an excuse to leave out big features from a consumer standpoint.

I would say being able to torrent anywhere gives iTunes a massive run for their money and the Google play store is pretty much in the same boat as the app store these days, without the download size limit while on the mobile network.

The iPhone IS simple. Locked down so that its hard for a user to mess things up. With forced simplicity, Also comes limitations. Android is freedom. You can mess with anything. You can pretty much do anything. Definitely two different worlds.

BlackBerry? Meh.
