iPhone 4S on SPRINT - Questions...
 
Currently I am using the EVO 4G on sprint and I am THINKING of getting the new IPHONE 4S.. couple of questions I would like to ask which will help make my decision:

1. Is there SWYPE for the iPhone?

2. Is then an untethered Jailbreak for the 4S (IOS 5)? This is very important as I want to use the wifi tethering APP and some other things.

3. is there any reason WHY I would NOT want to get the iphone 4S?

Thanks ....

I just don't see a reason to jump from Andriod to any other platform. I have an iPhone 4 through work and I'm not impressed. Now maybe if HP revived WebOS and came out with a killer device I may consider it.

PS I agree with Darren and Cripled..They Suck.

I decided not to. Now that I found a program for Android that works almost like siri there is no reason.

This is the program https://market.android.com/details?i....actions&hl=en

All of the demos show it with the default android TTS voice.. I am using one that I paid around $6 and it sounds more human.

1) and 2) yes I believe so but u have to jailbreak for them
3) I wouldn't go as far as what @darren.wlsn1 did and say they suck but I will say that there are other options out there, like wp7 mango for example,even tho the 4S has iOS5 it is still missing some features that can be found in wp7 mango. likewise mango is missing a hand count of features that are in iOS5 its all up to u to decide which of those included/missing features will make/break the deal for u.

Actually there is no SWPE for the IPHONE.. NONE.. there is an UNOFICIAL BETA if you jailbreak (I have it on my IPOD TOUCH). it misses almost every word I try.

I aso dont like WINDOWS phones.... too restricting...

Eric, I don't see the Arrive listed in the sharing column, is it under a different name? I miss that feature since I got rid of my TP2
Thanks

The only one I know of is an UN-OFFICIAL BETA that you need to be jailbroken to get it to work.. I have it on my IPOD TOUCH and it misses just abut every word. Its called ISWYPE or something... if there is something different, let me know ..

Why would anyone think about jumping ship just because of Siri. Let's take away that Android has already had voice control for who knows how long now, how often do you really see yourself using it? Sure it might be fun when you are sitting by yourself and no one is around and you want to ask some stupid questions, but are you really going to talk to your phone when you are around people.....

Androids Voice Search, while not interactive can pretty much do everything that Siri can. One thing I do use Voice Search for is for navigation. It is great to tell it where you want to go and it will bring up navigation. Try that on an iPhone 4S. Hope you don't need spoken turn by turn directions. lol

I wouldnt and I use a different VOICE CONTROL program that IS interactive like SIRI. a lot of people went to apple because of SIRI... I dont see why... I dont get going to a smaller screen, not 4g and other things missing.... I thought about it then thought again and realized my EVO is better :)

Ok, to clear some things up.

1. There is NOT a jailbreak for the A5 chip yet (Iphone 4s)
2. And everyone who says Iphones suck either have never used one before or are so close minded towards apple or are too much of an android fanboy to realize how good they actually are.

Numbers don't lie, there is a reason why Apple sells so many Iphone!

2. Lets be fair here, I agree that most people are still stuck in an anti-apple attitude, as well myself in my Microsucks attitude.... I am sure that there ARE some people who have tried and don't like the iPhone...

It is still possible for people to like or dislike things that others "Think Different"ly about. For example, I had a friend who just loved his neighbors Camaro....He thought I was "jealous" because I told him I don't like Camaros...Sure the Camaro cost a lot more than the Saturn SC2 I drove at the time, but that does not change the fact that I don't like Camaros...It also does not mean that my Saturn was a better car than the Camaro, as I am sure that it was not a "better" car, but I just do not like Camaros. On a side not, the newer Camaros are actually starting to change that.

I agree, i'm just sick of people telling me "should have bought a (insert random android phone here)".

Why? cause that is all you have ever used and all you know??

I have no problem with Android phones, they do things that IOS doesn't do and vice versa. I guess, my point is if ppl are going to bash Iphones or IOS in general, please don't bash it just cause its Apple and its "cool" to hate on Apple.

Idk just my 2 cents

Re: iPhone 4S on SPRINT - Questions...
 
I'm also stuck trying to decide if I should trade in my EVO 4G for the 4S. I'm not THAT anti-Apple, but you can't deny that they have sold so many for a good reason. The one thing I really don't like about my 4G and the new Androids is that they are too damn big! I have always felt that the iPhone was a better sized phone, and now that the 4S has a SIM card, it's an added attraction for overseas travel. I tried all the flashing of roms and so forth but found I aint such a tweeker after all. I'd rather just stick with something basic that works. The one think I may miss is all the hacked (i.e., free) Android apps I can get w/o paying.
Still confused and undecided, however!!!

Im still on my EVO 4G. I thought about going to the Iphone 4S but a smaller screen is what I dont like.. I know people said I wont miss the larger screen because the resolution is better BUT I just cant get my self to go to this. Also, I am told there is STILL NO JAILBREAK (UNTETHERED) for the 4S and that is holding me back. THINGS I do on my EVO can only be accomplished with a JAILBREAK. Since there are no WIDGETS for the IPHONE, a jailbreak allows me to get something that will work like TOGGLE WIDGETS for bluetooth, wifi, etc ....

also the fact that I am going from a 4G phone to a 3G phone.. Not that there is great 4G coverage where I live or work, but still, I am going backwards for a lot of money.. Close to $433 for the 32G with Apple Care

Good points ebuzz. I agree that the industry in general is moving to devices that are just too big. I still have an Evo 4g and 4.3 is already big imo. I can deal with it though but 4inch would be ideal imo. So 4inch or 4.3 with high resolution super amoled/qhd or HD screen and thinner would be ideal for me. Having said that, the iphone screen is simply striking at 3.5. There's no denying that.

I think 4 gets to a point where it feels awkward in your hand... I guess that is something you get used to over time.

djqwikcut 11-26-2011 12:17 PM

I really thought about an iPhone for sprint but then I loaded mikrom and TouchPal keyboard on my evo and it is like I have a brand new phone which does more then the iPhone can.
