For years, I have despised the iPhone, the idiots that own them, the lack of flexibility, and the whole "span of control" that Apple maintains over its products. I have been running Android forever. Its complicated, but I like complicated. Complicated equals flexibility.
That hatred continues today. I bought myself an ATT iPhone 4S 64GB for Christmas, just to play with until my Sprint contract runs out in mid-January. My goal was to use it over wifi only...mp3 player and such. I unbox it, and WTF? Cant even use the web browser because it "needs to be activated". Why in the hell would any reputable company require a device to be activated before it can be played with? I dont have to have a line of service active to play with my Android phones.
Anyhow, ending my initial rant, I managed to sweet talk a really cute girl at the local ATT store, Cora in Tallahassee, who provided me with an unactivated SIM, and assisted me with "activating" my device.
Since then, I've used my EVO as a wifi hotspot, and played with the iPhone. I still despise the fact it cannot be customized to my liking... hate not having a big clock on the home screen... hate having application icons all spread out on the home screens. Although, from my reading, I've learned that once a jailbreak is finally released for the 4S, most of my gripes would be eased.
Anywho, after doing a bunch of reading various threads, I figured I'd join the forums, hoping to soon see news of a jailbreak being released, so I can really give this thing a run through. I know if I end up not liking the iPhone, they hold their value really well, and I know I could get my money back out of it easy and buy a Galaxy S-II Skyrocket.
Cheers! Happy new year to yall.
