The thing is made of glass instead of plastic, and has a heft to it my Eris didn't. Don't worry about breaking it, though, because it is the stuff they make helicopter windshields out of: 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic.
The screen graphics, called Retina Display, is clear, crisp, easy to see and read and has more pixel density than any other cell phone, so they say. The above graphic is from a blog I follow religiously, something called, "Existing In BFE".
It has some pretty neat apps like the Garmin-like navigator mapping system. It also has a gyro system to make gaming more interesting, although solitaire is about the only game I need.
One of the best features is the camera. My Eris camera was a real bear to operate. When I pushed on the shutter button there was a lag of about a second that caused all my pictures to be fuzzy due to hand movement. With the 5 mega-pixel iPhone camera snapping a pic is instantaneous and easy.
And if you need to see closer just do a thumb/forefinger sweep and the pic gets closer. The thing is heavy, the apps numerous, the navigation is easy and simple. The battery life is excellent. Mackenzie was eligible for upgrading so she got one, too, and we both think they are great. Oh, I almost forgot, you can use it for a phone, too.
Things I Like:
- Retina Display makes viewing screen better than my old Android
- It has a "Find My Phone" feature that shows a map where i left my phone
- Surfing on the net is easy
- Easier to navigate
- Better camera and shutter than my HTC
- Bigger Qwerty so I make less mistakes
- Battery lasts longer than my old phone
- Hardened glass construction feels more substantial than my old plastic phone
- I can raise my nose with snooty Apple superiority when I hear others talk about their Androids
