I have to say that after almost two months with my iPhone 4S that I like it even more than ever. It’s my first iPhone ever, having come from Android devices most recently. What’s really impressive to me is the usability of the phone. The screen is smaller than my HTC EVO but looks better. In fact, you can argue that a smaller form factor is actually better in a phone so that may not be a big deal at all. The interface is awesome though. Some may call it simplistic but it works and it works fast. Sure, there are crashes but they’re few compared to what I had to endure on the Android devices and it just kicks you back to the main screen rather than makes you wait a few seconds while the UI reloads on Android. That was so annoying.

Siri is not gimmick. I use it pretty regularly, especially when on the move. Taking the dog for a walk and being able to respond accurately to text messages is a godsend. It used to be that I would have to stop walking to type back a message on the touchscreen keyboard. Android had voice dictation too but having used it I can say that it’s not nearly as accurate. The only feature I miss is Swype. My friends and I did ditch voice dictation for Swype since it worked so much better. If Swype was available on the iPhone it would be perfect. Additionally, searching for things on the web is just easy with Siri. Like many things that Apple does, it just works.

Last but not least is the camera on the iPhone 4S. It’s hands down the best camera I’ve used. Yes, my HTC EVO had an 8 MP camera but the image quality from that camera sucked balls. On the other hand, the camera on the iPhone 4S kicks ass. I find myself carrying my point & shoot with me less and less but taking more & more pictures. Mind you, these are the snapshot variety that just documents life but I’ve gotten some really great shots with it. Some users have even made the iPhone 4S camera into a serious one making very decent art with it. They say that the camera that you have with you is the best camera and that is certainly true here. Most of the pictures I’m posting now are from the iPhone. But more than that, it does videos as well. The quality is very good, and not just for a phone! It’s just very good.

If you’re thinking about whether or not you should make the plunge, don’t think anymore. Just do it. You’ll be glad you did.
