Pros: It's smooth, slick, has a very fast response... it's an iPHONE!
Cons: It does not do your laundry, and wasn't free.
Background:
I'm one of those people who prefers the Verizon network for one reason or another, and ever since the rumors of a Verizon iPhone 4 started to solidify during the summer of last year, I was SET on getting a Verizon iPhone! But when it was officially announced, there were so many people on the internet screeming against getting it, I was not so sure anymore. Hopefully this will help people to decide one way or another.
The way it feels in your hands...
It fits perfectly in my hands. I'm sure everyone has held someone's iPhone 4 in their hands by now, and WOW does it feel solid! it looks and feels like it's worth the $199 that I paid for.
The way it functions...
It's just flows. I played with it for several hours now, and it didn't skip a beat. It's fast and silky and it blows away my Motorola Droid. I've played with the Galaxy and the Droid X, and other Android phones, and although I love my Android phones, NONE of them have that smoothness, which this iPhone seems to have.
Should you wait for the iPhone 5?
The answer was obviously a "NO" for me, and here's why. This iPhone 4 is a matured product, and it's slightly modified to function on the Verizon network. So most of the bugs have been worked out, and it functions well... very well. Of course there are a lot of rumors going around saying how wonderful the iPhone 5 will be. But as far as know, those are just... rumors. None of them have been confirmed, and no one can say for certain that the iPhone 5 will be available for the Verizon network. Even if a new and improved iPhone 5 will be released to the Verizon customers this summer, I would not regret being "stuck" with this iPhone for two years.
If ya thinking of waiting...
..then wait. Especially if you have a smart phone already. I should mention that this iPhone was purchased for my wife. She had one of those "dumb" phones until this purchase, and she didn't see a reason or a need to upgrade until now. I have been a happy Droid user since it was first released. I had the chance to upgrade for free, but since I had my Droid, I could hold out a little longer. But if I didn't have my Droid, I would have ordered two iPhones last week. If Apple releases a Verzion iPhone 5 this summer, you can be sure that I'll be the first in line to get it. And I'll tell ya all about it here.
Conclusion:
So, this iPhone 4 is significantly better than any other smart phones that I've had the previlege of using and trying out. I mean...all you have to do is ask any current AT&T iPhone 4 user, and they'll be very happy with the phone... just not the AT&T's service. So Verizon & iPhone 4? Now that's a great combo! I highly recommend it!
