it's a cell phone, it's not a tablet. no, the screen size didn't bother me, i preferred it. if i wanted to lug around a tablet phone i would have kept my evo and its shitty battery life. i browse goEMAW using tapatalk. if i need to look something up online w/ my iphone, it works for the 30 seconds i'm doing so. i much prefer the smaller form factor.
thanks for the review clams. I'll have to check out tapatalk on the iphone.
Is the build quality better than the EVO?
yes.
it really boils down to which mobile OS you feel more comfortable with. computery guys (minus hemmy [microsoft]) seem to like android because they can customize it to their liking. most people don't know how/care to customize their phones to the level that a rooted android device allow you to, or even a non-rooted device allows for. there's a lot of people, like myself, who just want their phone to work- to do the things it's supposed to do, hassle free. this is where iPhone excels but at the expense of having to operate within a tighter environment. i suspect that most people probably benefit from the restrictions apple puts on the iphone but to the computery guys, it bugs them.
it seemed to me that android made a lot of promises but occasionally failed to deliver on them. if there's an application, there's no doubt that it's available for iOS and there's no doubt it will work as intended. this, along with the smaller form factor, the excellent build quality, and great battery life, made the decision for me.
i used to be pretty anti-iPhone but i'm not going to ignore the fact that for me, it's the best phone on the market, just to prove a point that i'm too cool for iPhone.
