To upgrade? Or to not to upgrade?

[Lyfer]

Upgrade has been up since last month now and I'm on a Iphone 4S on Verizon with the unlimited. I ran the account average thingy a while back I use about 16mb since I'm always connected to wifi somewhere (tho I'll still go retail to keep my unlimited if I do upgrade). My wife has the Iphone 5 and I find it to be just a thinner version of my 4S, nothing ground breaking.


I do like the idea of the Note II but have yet to see an actual running demo unit. How does it really handle multitasking like running youtube and notes? I think the only reason I might upgrade is because of epeen, my 4S really satisfies all my uses lol.

Thanks!

Keep the 4S until you can't stand it any more, or wait for iPhone 6. The more I see iPhone 5, the more I appreciate iPhone 4/4S' design. iPhone 5 feels as if it were made with planned obsolescence. (I wouldn't be surprised) My parents' iPhone 4's look almost as new as the day they've got those 2 years ago. When I look at iPhone 5's aluminum casings at an Apple store, they're all scratched, dented, or simply look aged badly.

Youtube has quite a few Note II videos.

If I was on Verizon and I was NOT considering switching to a much cheaper plan (you could get a nexus 4 and go with the unlimited $50 T-mobile plan) but again if i was NOT switching from Verizon I would..

Go Droid DNA all the way!!

HTC gave the DNA a BEAUTIFUL 1080P IPS-LCD screen which is the same screen technology as the iPhones. You will not enjoy the over-saturated and dim brightness of the note II's AMOLED screen. With this screen you will get the same white balance and daylight viewability as you are used to but with a much higher resolution than anything else on the market.

Besides that, HTC is going to announce the M7 later this month. Its going to be a fantastic set judging by the leaks.

Two ways to look at it.
1) You're paying for a subsidy on a new phone right now that you don't have
or
2) You're not dying for a new phone and better models will be out before too long. The note III is looking at a 8 core soc this summer. The iphone 6... who knows.

Note II is great from everything I hear. I have the note I and love it.

go try it out at a store. you wont understand the appeal until you get your fingers on that screen.

then walk away, take out your 4s, stare at it and cry softly
