That he has gone on to bigger and badder forms of questionable judgment is not a surprise.

]]> Comment on VZW: the iPhone can’t do that. by Kevin http://roasterboy.com/vzw-the-iphone-cant-do-that/#comment-304 Kevin Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:37:52 +0000 http://roasterboy.com/?p=3055#comment-304 I have found that with all smartphones, "never pass up an opportunity to plug it in" is good advice. Remember that 4G is a marketing term as it exists in the US today. LTE does not exist in most of the country, but is expected to over the next year or so. If the phone you get does HSPA+ as well you will get partial benefit right away. I ran speed test in my kitchen, turned wifi off, and got 10MB down and 7MB up, but with a 2GB soft cap..... The iPhone 4s is not any kind of 4G. I think that not paying extra in a hotel now and then because I can use the phone as a hotspot it will be useful. Remember that all of the current crop of LTE phones have an additional radio to power, so it'll eat more battery. If you went with an HSPA+ only phone it could be a good compromise if you don't feel the need to go to the top of the class.

If my phone wasn't crashing, I wouldn't be shopping just yet. As I mentioned, I'm interested in the Nexus, but am concerned about 4G battery life. The extra $100 over the iPhone is also a point of hesitation. I've not heard a clear explanation of the source of the 4G battery problems (VZW or Android). I keep a spare battery for my current Incredible, even with 3G, and need to use it about once a week. This review, <a href="http://blogs.computerworld.com/19493/testing_battery_life_on_the_galaxy_nexus_on_verizon_lte_maybe_the_bigger_battery_isnt_needed" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Galaxy Nexus on Verizon LTE; maybe the bigger battery isn't really needed - Computerworld Blogs</a>, suggests that such worries may be unfounded. Dunno if ICS is doing the magic here. Thanks for the tips. If my phone wasn’t crashing, I wouldn’t be shopping just yet.

I went to an Android device recently, there are several standouts. Different model names will apply as I'm on ATT, HTC Vivid, Samsung Galaxy S2, Motorola Atrix 2, Samsung Galaxy Nexsus (Verizon), Mororola Razor (Verizon) I use Gmail for all personal stuff, and other for work depending on the phone. With iOS you set up multiple inboxes, the contacts are NOT stored in itunes, unless you want that defeatured POS. The innards of the iPhone 4s are good, but a 3.5" screen just seems tiny today, 4.3 and 4.5 are common with Android devices. iOS devices are fine for Gmail, but not as good for other services. Mobile hotspot is only available at a charge, Google Maps will not speak directions, you need to use the carrier's extra cost app. I really like the Google integration on current Android devices, and expect ICS will increase that shortly.
