After reading some rave reviews about it, I decided to buy the just released Samsung Galaxy SII from Sprint. It is a great Android phone - fast with a beautiful big screen. And I was looking forward to an Android phone which did not have the Flash limitation that Apple has imposed on their products.

But after trying it out, I found the ease of use not to my liking so went to the AT&T store and took a look at the iPhone 4. It seemed much easier to use, and after reading more about the expected new iPhone and the family of Apple products and services, decided to return the Galaxy phone to Sprint, and wait for the new iPhone which they were expected to carry.

Well yesterday the new upgraded iPhone 4S was announced. I don't think that from a hardware viewpoint it will be as good as the Galaxy - I will miss the 4G capability, and nice large screen of the Galaxy SII. But again, I like the iPhone ease of use and integration with other Apple Products and services which I will use (iPad, which I have, iTunes, iCloud, Apple TV, and maybe iMatch). The Voice Recognition looks like it will be a great breakthrough capability as well.

So I have drunk the Apple juice and plan to get the new iPhone from Sprint when it becomes available later this month. I must stress that this is obviously a personal choice. If you are going through the same decision making, check out the phones in the Sprint and AT&T stores nearby, and I would be more than pleased to chat with you and share my experiences.
