Should I wait for the iphone 5 or go android?
-
I am definitely a techie, but I tend to try and stay away from the media craze and newest gadget scene, and focus more on what I have, and trying to get the most out of it while spending the least. I still have an iPhone 3g, that I bought from a friend and repaired (slight water damage). After numerous occasions of being board/needing certain features/spurs of productivity, I have done quite a bit of modifications to it. It works fine for what I need, but I am still at 3.1.3 jailbroken, and don't wanna upgrade for fear of losing features that I use daily but don't really remember how to do. For example. I am grandfathered into unlimited data from att, so I use a native tethering mod that came out where I patched the commcenter settings file or something like that. It basically works just as it would if I were to pay for the tethering service, where it shows up in the iphone settings under network, and is a simple switch, and it works over usb, and bluetooth, which I like MUCH more than some third party solution such as mywi. It is imperative that I can still tether in a very easy fashion like this with a new phone. SBsettings is crucial. When I need to turn off tethering, bluetooth, or turn up the brightness, I simply swipe my finger along the top and change it within seconds. Very useful. I have the droid unlock screen, which is extremely useful for when I am occupied with something else, I muscle memory my unlock code in. I have a multitask feature installed, where I double click the home button and it will put the program into ram, and bring up a list like the tabs view in the browser of all the apps I have running. Very useful to play pandora when texting or something. The macdaddy rubber and plastic otterbox has saved this device too many times to count. 'Nuff said. Basically, I am in a stage where everything is "bought and paid for" I am out of contractual liability, and my phone "works." It does everything that I need for it to do. But things that I would like it to do, it is now getting way too old for, (I can't get any new apps as they all require at least 4.0) and I don't want to lose the ease of access that I have now. So I am at a dilemma. Do I wait for the iphone 5 to come out, see what it has to offer, and see if there is a jailbreak that comes out soon after so that I can go and get all of these features back? Do I go the open source route, if Andriod is even open source, and do these things on an android phone? If so, what is the best android phone for ATT. I don't really care about all the little things the phone can do, basically, my phone must offer everything I have now, with some speed, have expandability, and be EXTREMELY simple to use. Unlike my computer projects where I don't mind troubleshooting occasionally, my phone is something that gets used only when needed, and I get very frustrated when it doesn't work or gets hung up on something.... What is your opinion? What should I do?

Answer:
I would recommend not to wait for the iphone 5. Its most likely going to be a flop just as the 4s and ipad 2 succesor. Any android phone like a galaxy s2 or the upcoming HTC One devices would surely beat the iphone 5 out of the water before it even gets announced.

Go Android. Definitely. Around April, a slew of new phones will be coming out, and my personal favorite is the HTC One X. That phone is AMAZING. The phone will be coming to AT&T this April, and I suggest you wait for it.
