Goodbye Android. Hello iPhone: I’ve Gone Over to the Dark Side!


Some of you were with me when I was major Blackberry fan. Then last year, I crossed over to the Android and have been happy with the switch. But as of last Thursday, I became an iPhone 4 S owner.

Yep, I am now rocking the phone I used to detest. In the past, I made no secret about being an anti-iPhone advocate. I saw iPhone users as being highly over the top and dramatical with their praises. They were always going on and on about how wonderful the iPhone was. Totally obnoxious is what I felt about most iPhoners. But there was one thing I couldn’t deny anymore—that the iPhone, despite it’s elite status, is the best smartphone on the market.

The switch to the iPhone came after much thought and discussion. I know plenty of iPhone users that could give me real feedback about the phone, without all of the fluff. And while I was never a fan of the size of the iPhone (my Samsung Galaxy II S screen is much larger than the iPhone and I love the screen real estate), the other pros outweighed that small con. I have been a T-mobile customer for years (and technically I still am since I haven’t canceled the service yet), but decided to go with Verizon so that I could have the iPhone.

As a former Midwest Mom for Verizon, I demo’d a few devices with them and the coverage was always wonderful no matter what city I am in. Their plans are a little more than what I was paying with T-mobile, but their service is better. So it’s a move well made.

So far, the best part of the iPhone 4 S is Siri, your very own personal assistant. It’s amazing to be able to have your questions answered in no time flat. I also love the fact that the phone integrates seamlessly between the Internet, phone, and applications.

And yes, I am anxiously awaiting the release of the iPhone 5.

Are you an iPhone user? What apps must I have on my device?

    As you may know I just left the iPhone in Dec due to my job change and got the S II (http://littletechgirl.com/2012/01/19/for-the-first-time-since-the-beginning-i-am-no-longer-an-iphone-owner/)! I had an iPhone since 2007. But, I must say that I have not missed my iPhone at all like I thought I would. I was surprised.

    I do agree that the Verizon service is excellent for the most part. There were still some areas here where it was a tad iffy when I had the Bionic. But that data is FAASSTT!! Too bad the iPhone is not 4G.

    And be careful with that iPhone! Look up about the moisture sensors so that you are aware. And T’s 4s just started going nuts 2 days ago. His mouth piece does not work. The person on the other end just hears static. And Googling showed that apparently it is a common problem with that 4s. Ugh.

    I KNOW that you will be happy because overall the iPhone does indeed rock!

      Thanks for all of your input! I am still getting acquainted with the phone and whatnot. So far, I am loving it, but miss the size of my Samsung Galaxy II S (which is still working because I haven’t canceled my T-mo account yet). Thinking I may keep both, but not sure. Then I would truly have the best of both worlds. Thanks for commenting! And I will check out your post! 🙂

    I just recently required the iPhone 4 (college student’s budget lol) with Verizon. My first computer was an Apple which put me on a course to like their products forever, but I didn’t (and still don’t) like the elitist attitudes by many of Apple’s consumers. It will be interesting to see which apps people recommend.

    I am a photo/video junkie so I immediately downloaded apps along those lines. I do music and podcasts with Pandora and TuneInRadio apps. I do a lot of Groupons so I use their app as well.

      Yume, yes the elitist attitude of a lot of Apple users turned me off from really adpating their products. But I can’t deny that Apple produces really good devices and I currently own a MacBook and a iPhone. All that is missing is an iPad.

      Thanks for the app recommendations. I hear you can edit video right on the iPhone, and that is appealing to me since I want to try to do more videos for the site.

    *gasp* how could you??? lol. It is funny, I am team Mac for pretty much everything – Mac Book, Mac Mini, iPad but I still like the Android phone. I am reconsidering this year though because with The Cloud, it makes senses to go back to iPhone world.

      Aisha, yes the cloud is amazing. Makes using Apple products easy breezy. My Android is still working on T-Mobile right now. Not sure if I want to disconnect it totally in lieu of the iPhone or not.

    I was the same way. I judged people with iPhones until I got one. I’ll never own another phone. It really is the bomb.org and a good phone. So good in fact that on that rare occasion when my phone “can’t” do something I am genuinely surprised. Lol I have a lot of fave apps…I’ll compile a list and get back. Yeah…that serious. Haha

    I don’t think I could ever make the switch to apple products, I am Windows and Android all the way. Not that there’s much difference between the products.

    […] I blogged a little over a month ago about finally jumping onto the iPhone wagon. After being anti-iPhone for years, I found it necessary to switch over. I have a MacBook and the iPhone was the eventual next step. But I still had my T-mobile account, and had just paid my bill, so I was in no hurry to switch over fully. My plan was to switch over and pay the early termination fee, but I can’t seem to move forward with it. Why, you may ask? Because I am still kinda sorta in love with my Samsung Galaxy II S. […]
