If I wouldn't have gotten my 4S for free with an upgrade from Sprint, I would have gone the Android route.  HTC Evo is still my favorite phone, but the iPhone 4S is quality.  $100 for two year old technology?  Not worth it.

$100 for a 4S is crazy cheap, what are you talking about?

I would do it if you don't want to spend much on a smartphone, you won't find a better deal than that.

I recently switched back to iOS from Android and I prefer it.  It's just overall more polished and the app quality is WAY higher.

Like I said, I got my 4S for free.  I would not have paid $100 for it.

That doesn't mean it was free.  You can't just walk into a store and get an iPhone 4S for free, so saying you wouldn't pay for it is disingenuous.  You DID pay for it, and your choice was an iPhone 4S over all the other free phones.

I walked into the store, and walked out without paying a single dollar with an iPhone 4S.  It was literally free.  There were other Android phones that would have been free as well, but I could tell they were all super cheap pieces of shit, and the specs proved it.

:lolwut:

Android and iOS are both smartphone platforms with very similar feature sets.  There are some things that you can do on Android that you cannot do on iOS, but IME they are not core competencies with regards to most people's daily use.

There are some downsides to Android.  In general:
- phone is not supported for updates for very long (oftentimes under a year)
- generally worse battery life
- less polished
- lower quality apps

Now there are pros as well
- file explorer on the device
- ability to set default apps
- random things like torrenting on your phone

I used to use Android and flash new custom ROMs all the time.  In the end, I went back to stock and used my phone for exactly the same things I use my iPhone for now.  Most people will not use the extra control Android gives you in any appreciable way and will just use their smartphone like a smartphone: browsing the internet, listening to music, downloading apps, taking photos, checking email, etc.  That makes up 99% of what most people do on their phone.

You literally signed a 2-year contract that if you break you will owe the carrier hundreds of dollars.  That is a cost.  Just because you didn't give them cash does not mean it was free.  You signed a contract and gave them a credit card number.

In any case, you proved my point.  At the price point it was at (in your case "free"), it was the best value phone.  Since OP is not signing a contract, he is looking at the same price point, however he will have to pay upfront for the device rather than through a 2-year contract.

You are essentially recommending the iPhone 4S at the given price point.
