Have a chance to leave my bolt for an iphone

[ddsdavid]

My wife had to have the iPhone 4S so I bought her one and carried it for a few days.

My dislikes are the following: Punny screen that is difficult to type on. She has the same issue. Email notification sucks, no LED notification. Siri is kind of cool but Google voice search is as accurate, just not as intuitive. No Flash support. I did side by side speed tests in 3G and the Tbolt was slightly faster every time. In 4G the Tbolt blows it away. Apps even load faster on the Tbolt which surprised me since the 4S is dual core.

At the end of the week I handed over the 4S to her and have not picked it back up. I just liked the Tbolt much better. This is my first Anroid phone so I am not an Android die hard either!

Amen. There is so much over-hype (is that a word?) about Dual Core it is pathetic. Dual Core is but one single potential performance enhancer. Unless all the other performance related factors are lined up, it makes no difference. And, it wastes memory using additional memory just to manage the Dual Core configuration.

Nothing surprising here. I think we've got another couple years of evolution before Dual Core will help much on a cell phone.
