When Choosing A New Phone, What’s A WebOS User To Do?

iOS

I’ll cut right to the chase and say this is a “no” for me. There’s really only one reason I’m dismissing iOS, and that’s hardware. As of this writing the options for iOS are the 4 and 4S. Both are great devices, and only an idiot would claim that iOS is a bad investment. This is the one OS that you can be sure will have the longest shelf-life. An app you buy is likely to be around a bit and the major developers will launch for this platform before they launch anywhere else. Plus, this is the one solution where no matter what network I chose, the phone experience is exactly the same.

However, after reviewing tons of devices with four inch screens, the iPhone just feels miniscule. I find it less comfortable to use than larger handsets, especially to type on. Furthermore, without LTE, the iPhone lacks the speed edge I want. Rumor has it that we’ll be seeing a 4′ screen version of the iPhone at WWDC on June 11. That would honestly be awesome. I’m also willing to put money down that whatever is announced will have LTE connectivity.

Place yer bets!

In the event that both rumors turn out to be true, I am willing to revisit my earlier “no.” However, assuming that the iPhone size situation does not change, that leaves me with one choice.

No, not Symbian.
