Finally gonna let go of my Pre
The EVO 3d 4G is so sweet I cannot pass it up. Not that the Pre (Original) has done anything to keep my love.

Any plans to add the Photon to the comparison chart or did I just miss it?

Not sure if I should get an EVO 3D or hold out for the GSII or the Photon.

If you have the luxury of waiting then by all means wait and see what comes and what's the best. Many ex webos users had no such luxury and had to bail out on that sinking ship ASAP.

The comparison is updated to reflect the iPhone 4S replacing the iPhone 4 but the specs are almost unchanged.
In fact most of what the iPhone 4S is missing is not listed in the chart.
A week ago 40% of all smartphone owners planned to buy the iPhone 5. Now a TiPb Poll of 10,000+ shows Only 21% Of iPhone Fans Are Getting an iPhone 4S. Still the new iPhone 4S will sell millions. Many iPhone users buy the next iPhone no matter what.
Apple iPhone 4S Does Bring Improvements
+ Siri is much like Vlingo Voice Controls with the ability to respond to commands such as "Text Joe: Leaving now" or "“What does poison ivy look like?” Vlingo Examples
+ The iPhone 4S has a Faster Dual Core CPU but the iPhone 4 already was really responsive
+ Apple matched the 8MP on the rear camera already in the Galaxy S II, Bionic, Photon, Charge, etc.
+ iOS 5 will finally have Notifications much like Android.
25 Features Still Missing From the iPhone 4S
– No bigger. Only 9% Want a Screen Under 4". Why did Jobs have to have such little fingers?
– No options. You can have any size as long as it's 3.5". No physical keyboard options.
– No LED Notification
– No microSD
– No Sprint 4G
– No Verizon LTE
– No AT&T HSPA+ 21Mbps
– 0.3MP VGA front camera should have been 2MP
– No DLNA
– No Facebook Integration, no Facebook sync of photos, status updates, etc.
– No Widgets
– No Smart Dial - can't type a name in the dialer like Android, BB, or WM7.
– No FM Radio
– No Near Field Communication (NFC) for payments, games, ID, etc.
– No Root. A Jailbreak is expected for the iPhone 4S but not root customization.
– No video chat over 3G (No Facetime over WiFi only)
– No application trials. Android at least gives 15 minutes to try an app for a full refund.
– No Keyboard options, Android has endless keyboard options.
– No visible file system available like Android AndExplorer or Astro File Manager show.
– Limited GPS Navigation and turn-by-turn directions
– Limited Multitasking
– Not Open Source. If you don't like a stock Android app, change it and re-release it. Not so with Apple.
– One Home button instead of separate Search, Menu, Back, and Home buttons (also used by games)
– No removable battery
– No micro USB connector - only proprietary Apple cables.
Summary
The iPhone 4S will be a success. It just is lacking many of the basic features found in most flagship smartphones today.

HTC Rezound
1.5ghz CPU
16GB Internal Memory (SD Card) and 16 GB Secondary SDHC, up to 32/64 GB)
HD records 1080p/24
Front camera is 720p record / view
May as well have called it HTC Droid Incredible 2
Too bad they don't offer a 32 GB Galaxy Nexus by the way...that could turn around and bite some users hard eventually.
Great list, best I have seen around!

Nice chart; wish I saw it before buying the Galaxy Nexus direct from Google; just kidding Actually one of the main reason for selecting the Galaxy Nexus is not listed. The Nexus purchased direct from Google is gsm Pentaband which means it can handle high speed data on both the AT&T and T-mobile networks. As I understand it, this is fairly unusual. Should the bands be included in the table?
