Great review Matthew! I wouldn't have gone to the 5 if the arrangement I have with my provider had allowed me to go 4S with the amount of storage I wanted. The upgrade from 4S to 5 isn't a lot. And I REALLY prefer the heft of the older iphones. However, I didn't have any of the options I wanted with a 4S so simply waited for the 5. I considered an Android phone but, I've used my sisters phone in the past and wasn't that thrilled with it. She hates it and wants an iphone now. Yes, they do a lot of things iphones haven't usually been able to do..yet. BUT the reliability of both the phones and the apps is iffy at best. I try to make my phones last a long time and don't feel like downloading untested apps onto my phone.
