Sat here contemplating a change, bought the iPhone 4 back in june 2010 (release day) then the iPhone 4s in Oct 2011 (release day) but just lately getting a little bored with it, because the 4 to 4s wasn't such a great leap it seems like no real upgrade for a few years, and taking into account the jailbreaking scene seeming to be a dying art I'm wondering if a change is needed, Not getting into the whole flame war of htc v apple etc as I'm lookin at all other phones to see what they bring to the table.......
Is the upgrade worth doing?
What would your basis of comparison?

Depends on your usage.
If you don't use your phone often, then the HTC One X is perfect. lol
Depends.
If you enjoy learning new things and being able to customize a lot of things, then go for it.
If you want things to be as easy and stable as possible, stay with the iPhone.
Just my 2 cents

General all round, I'm not used to having great battery life as I have a 4s lol, don't really game just use as a general comms device, does it push emails? can it store my word & excel docs on the phone, then am I able to edit and then email them? bluetooth tunes & pics with other phones (no can do with apple)
Also, will I be able to sync my itunes with it? inc my pics, music (inc album art) and what about my ibooks?
i recently upgraded to htc one x and find it awesome. if you have been a long time iphone user like my brother is , it gets very boring , htc ui is eye candy and good to show off. as for day to day use it is a very suitable device - after updates i hope it gets even better
I wouldn't trade my ancient Nokia 5110 for an iPhone 4s or any iPhone for that matter lol.

Im still waiting for mine to arrive but.in general Android phones can push emails, store and edit then email the docs, yes you can Bluetooth any file (not sure about apps, never tried)
You can kind of sync itunes. You need to download double twist player for phone and computer. The computer version syncs with itunes and acts like an intermediate. Ive done it with pics and music. As for books no idea.
You could try pulling the books off the phone using ifunbox or similar then placing on the phone and using a ebook reader to read

Yeah thanks for that lol.
What about smileys in texts and emoji's?
it depends on why you would be going for the One X. I recently made the decision to move from the Galaxy Nexus to iPhone 4s and now BACK to the One X.
The iPhone 4s is a fantastic phone. I liked pretty much everything about it. But the reason I left the Nexus was because of the very subpar camera. The One X fixes that and its camera is as good if not better in some situations than the 4s.
Stock ICS and Sense ICS for that matter, do just about everything better than the iPhone does things. I won't go point for point unless you ask, but let's just say the experience is richer on the One X than on the iPhone.
If you are getting bored with iOS (who can blame you, it hasn't changed for 5 years), android and the One X is the way to go.

I don't know, never used itunes.
It will sync your music if you'd like it to. But you would need a free copy of DoubleTwist.
I moved to android after having a 3gs and never looked back.
Android is more customisable and tweakable out of the box than the iPhone. Really its down to whether you prefer to use iOS or android.
The one x will do everything that you've asked but the syncing with iTunes will need a 3rd party product. Apple seem to like to break that functionality with each iTunes update as well so expect to wait a day or two for the dev to catch up each time apple do this.
Is worth upgrading from a 4s to the one x? I'm not sure, depends on how much money you've invested in iPhone apps.

Got a few quid invested in apps as I get the itunes vouchers through work, but to be honest I never use 3/4 of them, Plus I can still use them apps on my ipad.
It's just I seem to have been looking at the same apple device for years? if that makes sense, just nothing changes really, No fresh ideas in the OS.
Just talking myself into the change I think, Plus it will cost hardly anything as I can sell my Iphone for good money to pay for the one x.
Ohh man there is no comparation between them! Maybe the right fight would be the future iPhone 5 vs HTC one X

Damn, there is no best phone. Just the way the best rom does not exist.
In my personal opinion Sensation is better for tech savvy people. iPhones are easy to use, but don't allow so much customization. When it comes to hardware, they're pretty same - Sensation has got a faster processor, more ram... etc, while iPhone has got a way better camera and screen.
If we look at the price Sensation is clearly the winner.

If you love apps, games all that kind of stuff than iPhone, thats why I sold my iphone and instead got me an ipod touch 4thG to keep all my apps, games and music, my Sensation is just my phone which I love!

Sensation !
More configurable
Cheaper (Iphone is so overpiced)
Although because all current custom aosp ROM-s are so bad I am not happy about my Sensation, stock ROM is also kind of faulty. I would always choose android over iphone system because of rooting and many other things but I paid lots of money for phone which at the moment is simply less functional then HTC Desire from my viewpoint.
But again question is again: coke or pepsi, you might see it differently then I do.
No meaning create such thread. For sure here we will bias to sensation the best!!

I have both phones and sensation is way better in my oppinion.

Yeah... Sensation wins for me. No doubt i've got some beef with sensation freezes and such. Which I'm told iphone is 'more reliable' and also the software work beautifully with the hardware. But as something I utilize everyday I couldn't stand the screen size or lockdown apple does. I too have an ipod touch 4g for my app needs... 32g although I'm considering selling that too...

My wife has iPhone 4 and My Dad has iPhone 4S. Whenever they have a problem regarding howto they always ask come to me even though I don't own an iPhone. after playing with their iPhone I find that android system is easier to use because of widgets and such. For example: to turn on wifi on iPhone, you have to go to settings>>wifi and slide the slider to on or off. With android, you can have a widget right on the home screen to toggle wifi on/off. Another example is conditional call forwarding. If you want to activate conditional call forwarding like, forward call when unreachable. with ios you have to enter codes or dial *62*[another phone number]# and tap “Call”. There is no setting for it like android does.

After all it is absolutely subjective. I know some people having an iPhone and are satisfied with it and dont want to change to another.
I changed from iPhone to Sensation and for me the Sensation or rather the Android OS is much better.

Same here..
I have moved from Iphone4 to HTC SENSATION...
I love my phone.... which is HTC SENSATION.. ... but my feelings still goes for Iphone because of Damn GAME
I went from a G1 to an iPhone 2g to an iPhone 3g to an iPhone 3GS and then to a Nexus one. Since then, I have never looked back
IMHO Android is far better than any iPhone. I loved my iPhone but I dumped her as soon as the Nexus One came out. I got it January 5th, the day it was released. Since then I have had a G2, MT4G, LG G2x, and now the Sensation.
Its all personal preference but when you ask me, I will tell you to think correctly, not differently.
I think its just personal preference. I just switched from the Sensation to the iPhone 4S last week and there are definately pros and cons for each phone.
The thing I miss most about the Sensation was the screen size, but the iPhone's screen is definately better than the Sensation screen.
As far as OS's, again its a matter of personal preferences. I liked widgets in Android and I also loved that I could tweak almost every aspect...
At the same time...iOS is virtually lag free, No force closes, etc.
At the end of the day I switched because I found myself wasting so much time flashing roms and tweaking things. The other reason is that Im an independant music and the iOS music apps are leaps and bounds ahead of the Android music apps. No latency whatsoever.
My opinion:HTC Sensation wins hands down (for me).
Why ? : I wanted customising, home screen data, wanted something that not everyone has, bigger screen than 3.5 inches, something that was not from "APPLE".
IPhone has games ,mail, customisation, great resale and all but it simply did not appeal to me.
Last December my wife asked an Iphone 4S as gift, knowing already the device and the way Apple working I tell her not to go for an Iphone cause it's expensive for the specs and only work in one way, the way Apple want it to work.
The answer was "My friends have an Iphone, it's pretty and they can install many things really amazing!!!" with the same eyes than puss in boots. How can I resist, even if I start being bellyache just by thinking that it's me who'll be in charge to take care of the phone for the setting and all stuff that can be made on the phone.
This month I finally can decide which Android phone i want to buy, a HTC Sensation XE. At the beginning my wife start being jealous with my phone, cause I spent severals hours to flashing and personalize my phone, she didn't want to use my phone, on and on.
Then last week we went to a coffee shop and her Iphone was out of battery. As she like watching Korean drama all the time she couldn't resist asking for my phone. After 5 minutes spent to navigate on the menu and loading heavy website with flash videos and other features she looked at me with the same eyes as before and said "I want an Android phone!", saying "Iphone is too strict, can't do what I want and personalize the phone that much. Since then I no longer can enjoy my phone at a coffee shop. Wtf!!!
So, now if I want to enjoy my phone while she is watching her drama at coffee shop, my only solution is to buy another Android phone...
Just sell her iPhone and get her an Android phone The more android users the better

UI, and Screens are just your opinions. not really facts; not nececarilly a bad thing. the processor of the 4s isnt slow, but its pointless in the iphone. other than that im with you! i could never use a screen that small lol

I honestly think IOS is better and would get one for the wife if it was on T-Mobile. I can manage with Android since it allows me to do a little more than I would be able to if I had an IOS device. WHat I like about IOS is the apps are of much higher quality.
For someone like my wife the iphone would be better. She complains about the random reboots, apps crashing and some of the other annoyances that come with Android so I know she would love the iphone.
O just don't like ios too mainstream

iOS is smoother than Android and handles most things better. Android wasn't meant to have a touch interface since it was first made to compete with Blackberry and other systems that used a trackball/keyboard rather than a touchscreen slate. So as a result, they didn't bother starting from scratch and decided to just implement touchscreen onto their existing revisions... Not saying Android is bad by any means, but there are things that iOS does properly that Android does not. For example, the touch delay that exists in every Android device will most likely never be solved due to the architecture of the OS - to see this delay, go play Fruit Ninja or something and you'll notice that the sword trail is always lagging behind your finger and is never directly under your finger while you're moving.
However, I despise Apple with a passion. Their products are great, but they are also immensely overpriced and restrictive. They market their products in a dishonest way to trick the common consumer into thinking that it's the greatest thing on the planet. However, they do tend to take care of their customers in terms of updates, unlike Android because even the iPhone 3GS got their latest iOS 5 update while we're still waiting for an ICS update.

+1. Example of smoothness - open web browser in both iPhone and a high end android phone like amaze, open a webpage and trying scrolling - you will see iPhone is significantly smoother than amaze. Any improvements in hardware (you can have quad core processor and a 4 gb of ram) won't make up for a not-so-good architecture. OS update is another big issue with all android manufacturers. If I buy a phone on a 2 year contract, I should get updates for 2 years. Apple provides updates for older devices as long as old hardware can handle it and look at the android world - mytouch4g slide is more than capable of running ICS but HTC/TMO won't provide update and indirectly force customers to buy new device with little to no hardware improvement long before their contract is over. Having said that, I still like my amaze for a couple extra features and data service that tmo provides.

First of all, I'm a die hard WP7 user through and through. Social interaction, stability, and quick gaming, as well as a good ecosystem of interconnected services are what I'm after in a phone, and so it's the ideal option for me. That said, I try to be as fair as possible in my judgment of other devices. I recently picked up a Nokia N9 and an Xperia play as alternate phones to my Lumia 800 (which has since been upgraded to the Lumia 900) for comparison purposes. The first thing I tested on these two devices, since it's the one thing I miss on WP7, is emulation. Honestly, despite the perfect controls on the xperia, I kept going back to the more "pure" Linux experience of meego for emulation. This was due primarily to the app emumaster which has all your basic emulators cooked into one app with great developer support and outstanding framework. The xperia's controls are awesome, but the low quality of the ps1 emulators I could find left a lot to be desired. The feature that Android really stole the show with, was the market. I left android October of 2010 for the most part aside from picking up random great deals on Craigslist. I most recently tried the Gnex, and it seemed to have a lot of the issues that put me on the prowl in the first place still, so I was not smitten. However, the progression of the app market is phenomenal, a far cry from the doldrum mess that I was forced to search through in my time with android. The new Google Play point is great and feels a lot less like a beta test than it did before. While I'll always prefer WP7's dynamic UI, I much preferred Meego's to android's. There are no "official" widgets yet, but even without, the three home screens have all the info you need and the lock screen is great. It offers a, "sleeping clock" feature where even when the phone is asleep, the clock is still displayed, as well as your notifications. After double tapping on that, you have more specific notifications over a background pic of your choosing, you can swipe on any of these to open the app direct, or just swipe the whole homescreen off which leads to the homescreens, one has all your apps complete with folders. The next, shows all the apps you have currently running. True multi-tasking an astonishing 19 apps and no real hiccups. Amazing. Then, there's your notifications tab, it keeps your notifications as well as a list of your social network mews feed on hand. Everything just feels easy and intuitive. Android, sadly, still felt pretty much the same, I guess if it's not broke, don't fix it, but there's better UI options. Overall, the xperia Play got the least play, not because it's a bad device, but it's just not what I need. The N9 is great, but suffers some of the same issues android does. It is, however, a good meeting point between android and WP7 and was abandoned far too early. Neither pulled me from WP7, but unfortunately, I now try to double-tap my 900 to unlock it.

Not sure what the point of this post is.
E; oh, text wall. It looks like copying it misconstrued my formatting.
That should've stuck with Meego. That would've been a real 4th OS.

The Lumia 900 seems to be doing quite well for itself, replacing the iPhone as ATT's hero device. I can't wait to see what the 610 does in India.
I read somewhere that at&t associates doin a disservice for customers. It seems iPhone is still the hero device, salespeople still pushing the iPhone and not giving the lumia900 a chance.

They sell what they know, unfortunately most att reps know little about phones.

Wow for them just to say that I will say one thing well a couple.
1st smart phone - w as iPhone 3GS 16gb. Loved it..... When I had it.
2 nd smart phone - htc hd7. Was okay not many apps. Hated metro tiles.
3rd smart phone -galaxy s2 i9100- LOVE IT MORE THEN ANYTHING. Awesome phone. Went to go get a iPhone 4s . But I thought and my friend said u have to try andriod. Now he was right not goin to any other Os ever again.
For her to say iPhone as a high end device is funny.
Okey so I was going to buy a Nexus4 phone and 10 nexus tablet this christmas but with the chaos at google play and product out of stock
i decided to go for a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a Ipad .... great combo btw.
I still have 500 euro to spend from January and i have 4 choices.
Consider i have S3 (and Note1 phone) and the Ipad which one would give me most Joy?
1. I could get another tablet...I only have one single reason and that is i have some movies and series on a PC i want to transfer to tablet to watch in another room or outside
Ipad is great love itunes,games and apps....but is not Drag N drop...so all movies i have to buy in itunes or the hassle to convert and transfer via itunes.
I am not either Android,windows or Apple Fan so i just choose the best combo of them all that work best for me every time
If i get another tablet...i could just drag n drop some movies...i would use ipad for everything except for the movies and series i have on my pc (i have a desktop pc so cant move it around)
The only good Tablet i would consider as a second tablet would be Nexus10 if Android or Surface Pro if windows..
Nexus10 has good price and quality.... i think i want to buy it in a physical store...
so we see if nexus10 can get to one.... (keep in mind that i keep my Ipad as i got bunch of accesories to it and use it for daily task...but could use a android or windows just for movies)
Now the Microsoft Surface Pro i can run windows8 with all my pc games.... hopefully i can run Railworks 3 or 4 too or some other road simulators.
i use a tablet when i am in office or breakfasting in the living room where my desktop pc is not.
Surface would do great as it would just be another pc.....but the Nexus10 is a great option too since is much cheaper and can drag n drop movies....
So guys if i choose Option 1 Would i go for Surface or Nexus10 ?
is not that of a must to play Railwork 4 on a tablet but if i could that be a plus
2. Another option is to be content with the IPAD i have and rather spend some more money on Itunes movies and games
and then just buy another phone Nexus4...so one day i can use nexus another S3
but do i need 2 (now 3 phones....) probaly not but it be cool to have the nexus4..... what worry me is the Glas it look easy to break
so i would need to get a very good case for it. (I think case aftermarked for Nexus4 have not take off yet)
3. Or... I could get another phone... i realy like everything Droid...the Black and Red designs are for me very apealing
I could get the HTC butterfly as my second mobile
and then trash my Note 1... then i have HTC butterfly as a phablet, S3 as a phone and Ipad as a ipad
My concern is HTC sound is poor, i had HTC before and soundquality not so good.... after installing many things my phone lagged (but keep in mind it was a windows phone so android is probaly better)
Anyway HTC butterfly could be a good option...now when will it come to europe thats another question ....
4. Finaly i could just drop Nexus4, Nexus10, Htc Butterfly , Microsoft Surface and.... Go for a Iphone...
i never had a iphone only had ipod and now ipad....could save up to 650 euro and get the 16gb iphone from a online store without contract.
But still all other products is also very apealing....
5. There is a fifth option....i could also get a Laptop but for say 500-600 euro i probaly just get some low-cost thing
so probaly wont be better to run some games on... I already have bluetooth keyboards for ipad (work with any tablet) so i might be better of with a tablet
but okey..the option of a laptop is there too
What would you buy of these if you had S3,Note1 and Ipad 4 from:
Nexus4 phone
Nexus 10 tablet
MS surface
Htc Butterfly droid phone
Iphone 5 16gb
?

LOL i forgot about this post
First i already have a Samsung phone so no point in another...for now i will keep my S3 been so busy havent had time to start using it much yet
Is CES over? anything intressing
I checked Google play store here in spain guess what They still sold out for Nexus4 and Nexus10 ROFL this is hillarious
I am also realy waiting for HTC droid but it dont seem it arrive in europe anytime soon.
Now...from gadgets to what i need..
1. I could need a extra tablet or laptop just for movies....as Ipad is great for surfing and apps but i would like it easy to drag and drop movies
so maybe i should get nexus 10 or Microsoft surface (the full windows one)
2. i could get a extra phone but i probaly end up using just one and i am quite happy with my Black Saphire S3 64gb phone.
3. I could save up for a Denon D7000 headphones (i have a pair of D5000 now)
Or i could spend 400-500 euro that this lamp cost ...i like the version sitting on the floor best....but maybe too much for a lamp

The Biggest question in the universe is when will HTC butterfly arrive to europe...if it ever will
I am superfan of red-black gadgets so i be first in line
I also think Nexus4, 10 are cool but i think i pass buying online from google so much chaos...wait for physical store
This headphone i like...but have to save a bit more...they look so nice (but i might be better or pricewise with a Denon D7000 if i go for another headphones)

I also though about Iphone5 and this case (blackop)
http://www.elementcase.com/iPhone-5-s/136.htm
not a applefan but i like to buy either android,windows or apple all from what i like best... so this christmas i got android phone and ipad (in my opinion there is only 2 tablets avaible that worth it and thats ipad and Nexus...atleast until surface comes...and nexus10 i was not able to get yet so got ipad)
I am also waiting for the Surface pro....but not sure for that price might be better go for a laptop i mean....it probaly just a experiment from microsoft anyway.
but with HDMI ports (i think it have) and drag and drop movies surface might do great together with my ipad.
Oh...and if i go another android phone it probaly be Nexus or HTC butterfly as that what look coolest at the moment
