Should I give up my iPhone 4 for an Infuse 4G?

[Grayson.]

I have an iPhone 4 now that I like, I'm just tired of it and the OS. I want something more customizable. I have an upgrade every year, and I'm not sure if I should wait for the iPhone 5... I mean, I can always switch back to the iPhone when iOS 5 comes out. I'm just not completely sure. I want a bigger screen though, and a better screen.
The one thing I'm scared of is that, in the year that I have the android, I won't get good service or updates for the device because so many android devices come out. There's only two iPhones. Is this a stupid worry, or not and do you think it will get gingerbread and other updates? You see, the thing is, I want a balls out android device. I don't want something weak that in 6 months is discontinued, won't get support for and I'll have to live with it.

I like the bigger screen and design of this compared to the GS2... is it really worth waiting for?

Is it really worth using my upgrade over?

Thanks.

I've always been an iPhone person. I got specs for the iPhone 5 and they aren't much different from the iPhone 4. I would say upgrade to an android device. You will be happier with it. I just switched and I love it.

Is the Infuse a good one to upgrade to?

Here is some stats about it.

I know the stats

But are the stats kick-ass?

 

[Ryistech]

Yes. It's one of the best you can get IMO. If you want something a little smallernand a lil faster go with the atrix 4g. But infuse has biggest screen and nice resolution. Upnto person preferences.

The iPhone 5 hasn't been announced. Which specs do you speak of?

 

[Ryistech]

It has been announced. I have it on my twitter

What's your source? AFAIK it is only rumors, until Steve Jobs say it has this and that, I wouldn't believe it.


VS the iPhone 4, the GS2 wins all out. It is better and faster. The screen is better (IMO) they are kinda the same, but the GS2 is a lot crispier in terms of text.

It has a faster boot, browsers and general loading all together.

Sort out your priorities. If you want something more customizable then why are you thinking of the IP5 as an option? What leads you to believe that Apple will introduce the customizability that you're wanting?

The one thing I'm scared of is that, in the year that I have the android, I won't get good service or updates for the device because so many android devices come out.

Then perform some due diligence and look into which OEM's and models get frequent updates and stick to those OEM's and models. Avoid the ones that don't update frequently.

Is it really worth using my upgrade over?

Worth is always highly subjective, regardless of topic. We can't tell you if it's worth it to you or not. That's for you to determine.

Thanks so much!

Does Samsung have good upgrades?

Apple iPhone 5 May be Launched in October: Rumor ~ iPhone 5 Reviews and Rumors
From there. but if anything all the new android devices will stomp the iPhone.

 

[Remordere]

"Maybe", "may" , "expected" and "rumors" are not a great source. Unless it has been announced by Apple I will not believe it.

 

[Ryistech]

Gonna be officially released soon tho.

 

[Remordere]

Yes, but without that actual specs that you speak of before.

My advice just wait for the iPhone 5, if the specs isn't really that appealing to you, go with whatever you want. The iPhone 4 or Infuse.

But android will always win. <3
