iPhone 4S - 5 Months On...

I have had my iPhone 4S since October, and since then I have been speculating whether to get rid of it for a number of phones, mainly being the Samsung Galaxy S II or the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but I have stuck to what I purchased and overall, I love it.

When I received my iPhone 4S back in October of 2011, i was shocked at how it felt in the hand, how astonishingly powerful the screen was and by the simpleness of the OS. I didn't do the normal plug into iTunes and set it up, I did the new style of setting up, direct on the phone. The process went very smooth and I was up & running within minutes.

I went with the carrier Three for my iPhone, and I have to say the service has been fantastic. I have encountered one time where the service dropped out after I reset my iPhone due to an OS fault, but since then I've not had a single problem.

A lot of people seem to complain about Three, saying their service is slow and terrible, but to be honest with anyone who thinks that, it's really not. I'm not in the best of signal areas, yet I get 4/5 bars of 3G, on average I get a speed test of 5.64Mb/s down and 2.1Mb/s up, that is fantastic for 3G coverage, especially in the UK.

My favourite thing about my iPhone? The productivity. I use it for Photography, recording and editing short videos, social networking and everything else. The key apps I use are Instagram, Flipboard, Clear, PayPal and FiLMiC Pro.

Would I recommend an iPhone 4S to anyone else? Of-course I will! But I will say, if you don't like apple, then don't get the iPhone 4S. I would definitely recommend the Samsung Galaxy S II if you don't want a 4S, but if you like Apple, or have a Mac or an iDevice, then definitely get an iPhone, they're well worth the hefty investment.
