6 months using iPhone 3gs and dumping it for HTC Wildfire ( pretty basic Android phone ).
iPhone is fucking awesome, works just fine, but is so damn monotonously fine i got tired of it. I feel I need some shit shaking like adjusting my front screen every other week, have different keyboards installed and such... in short, Apple is so overrated. One thing i still claim to be the best match for travel multimedia usage is a macbook pro.

Funny, I just switched to Verizon and upgrade my regular 3G iphone from 4 years ago to the iphone 4, and while I was sitting at the counter while they tried to get ATT to let em get my wifes phone, customer after customer was coming in with various android phones with issues.
One lady was like "the thing powers off while charging and it gets really hot" and the Verizon support person was like "yes that's normal, just pull the battery out for 10 minutes and then charge again and you will be fine"... and the lady walked away grumbling.

Another guy was saying he had to charge his android in the middle of the day everyday, and the lady explained to him that some apps are sloppy and suck down power while they run in the background... and it's normal... he too walked away pissed off.

And this went on and on for an hour..

Not one of them brought in an Iphone to complain, one brought hers in cause she couldn't figure out how to turn on blue tooth.

Of course there are people with iphone problems, but nothing like the issues of all the different cheap iphone knock offs based on android, and once again just like with PC's in the 90's Apple is about to get stuck with a 10% or less marketshare cause they refuse to put out rushed, poorly designed, cheap shit that 90% of the people will settle for.

Apple is in a boom now, but it's only a matter of time before they are knocked down to 10% share in both smart phone and Ipad markets cause cheap always wins with the sheep.

In the US things are a bit different. Here we buy iPhone as unlocked for $700 for 3GS and 1k+ for iPhone 4. That's making me say its a lot. Comparing to HTC that is less then $300.
Of course, it's about your using a smartphone too. Say, I only check / reply to emails, weather check, some occasional time killing mostly reading news... 3G here is spotty, drains battery out fast too. Overall it was a good experience using an iPhone and I would recommend it to everyone... But i'm just done playin' with it, i want another toy
