Not really anymore.. I have to carry an iPhone now for my new job.  I still just dont' care for them.  They have their uses, though.

I used to make fun of those people who carried two mobile phones.  Now I am one of those people...

I'm more excited about the operating system tweaks.

BREAKING: Romney blasts the president for letting Apple make everyone want to get a new iPhone.

iPhones are just dumbed-down smart phones.

I have a iPhone 3G and in 2 years I may own a iPhone 3GS. That's how little all this Apple iPhone crap means to me. So go stand in line all night to give them you're 399 dollars......putz!

You can preorder for $200, have it fedexed to your house and usually sell the old one for closer to $300. Who's the putz?

I loaded iOS6 last night. Nice to see them dumping the dumbed-down google apps. Definite speed improvements.

Anyone for owning a locked iPhone for $200.

I bought a Galaxy Nexus Android through Google for $350 last month.  Best purchase (cell phone wise) I've ever made.  Because it's not provided by any carrier and is unlocked, I can move from carrier to carrier if I am not satisfied.

Plus it has nearly a 5 inch screen on it.  And doesn't run iOS.

I carry two iPhones and an Android. I do work for a developer and I see the other side of the curtain. There is a reason there is not a single shred of personal information on the Android. It is currently logging every keystroke and sending it to AT&T, despite the fact I've removed the SIM card. Many of the apps are logging my location,  what apps I'm running and metrics on how I'm using the phone. In contrast, Apple got crucified over the fact it had a database stored locally on the phone with a list of recently used cell towers "locationgate"

Enterprise customers can't support Android phones because of security holes. (know this from experience)

The iPhone 5 is glass and aluminum, not plastic. The processor and memory and comparable to the other smart phones. They have a higher pixel ratio and thinner screen than all other smartphones. They are also the first phone using the new low-power LTE chipset meaning their phones actually got longer battery life when they went to LTE, despite the fact they went to a smaller battery. They are also the only mass-produced phone with wideband audio (think HDTV, but for phone calls) They have a nicer camera than almost every smartphone (and unlike Nokia, don't doctor the photos).

Androids are trucks and iPhones are sports cars. They both get you places and have their own plusses and minuses, but a truck makes a crappy sports car and a sports car makes a crappy truck.

You can get $168 for a 30month old iPhone from Gazelle.com and not deal with person-to-person sales.
