I have the droid x2 and have been with android phones for years. I have never liked cases, like mojo said it makes them bigger, heavier, not as appealing(to me). With all that said, my x2 touch screen is done. I have dropped it many times, but this recent drop did it! I'm stuck on what phone I want now. I definitely want 4g, maybe the galaxy s2, iphone, charge, bionic, it just has to be with verizon. |

Get a case bro, consider it an investment, i dont use an ottorbox because i think its bulky but i do have a plastic/jelly hard plastic back case I use for my iphone 4.
This case has saved my screen from being shattered through and through when randomly falling out my lap onto the concrete while getting out of my car.
In the past year Apple's Customer Service has gotten alot better about warranty and replacing phones with less interrogation as to what happened to it after bringing it in.
I have a few friends that have shattered their screen and The Apple Store just swapped it out for them no questions asked.
I buy fix and sell Iphones and Macbooks as a side hustle and I can tell that the iPhone has the best resale value of any other phone out there. So if you get it and don't like it you can always sell it on craigslist.com
An iphone 4S without a contract is selling on craigslist right now for $700, so if you ever do decide to sell it you could make some $$$ doing so.
Get the 4S and consider it an investment, I dont think their is much of a price difference right now, I just know their is a wait now for the 4S because they had 1 million pre-orders and sold like 4.6 Million of them in the first week of being released. |

I've had the Casio G'zOne Commander for about a week and really like it. Its pretty much a water-resistant (1meter for 30minutes) impact resistant droid. I've already dropped it a few times and taken it kayaking. It works for me because I don't think other phones would last. I am pretty good at dropping them in the lake.
It seems like anything cutting edge will be out-done in a year or 2 any-how. |

IOS5 has been semi-tethered but the 4S has not been jailbroken. neither has the Ipad2 so it's most likely a processor issue and may be awhile.
My 3gs was jailbroken. It gives you the ability to do things with the phone that apple doesnt think you should. The 2 main things I used were sbsettings, which let you change certain settings(like wifi on/off) from the lock screen and bitesms which allows you to respond to texts from the lock screen among other things. If your new to Iphone don't worry about it yet. If/when there is a jailbreak available then you can determine if its something you need. My 3gs was a little glitchy when it was jailbroken, not sure if I'll jailbreak my 4S |
