The notifications are a big improvement and tabbed browsing in Safari makes it much easier.

Mmmm... the notifications are not very good in comparison with LockInfo.

The mail and calendars disappear from the lock screen which isn't very useful.

The good news is you can sell your iPhone to fund the Android. The bad news is you'll be no better off, change is as good as a break though.

Can't wait for my new phone. 3GS has been outstanding and I expect no less from the 4S. iOS 5 would be enough to make me stick with the 4.

A tiny 3.5" touch screen can be a real bitch.

Curiousity got the best of me and I had to look at how much a 64gig 4s would cost on a £45 a month contract and they want £419 for the phone How can you make money from a phone when you decide to sell it on when it costs that much with a contract.

im looking forward to the nexus prime as well, failing that the galaxy s 2 is a nice phone that you can get cheap now and is better than my current 3gs

I hope the Nexus or Galaxy 3 are a step forward as this will help move the market forward, I will be looking to upgrade my iPhone 4 around April to June so I'll be keeping a close eye on Android developments.

The one thing I would say is that I hope the upcoming Android OS is more 'slick' for want of a better word, everytime I've tried an Android mobile the OS just seems a little 'clunky'.

And even if I stick with an iPhone it will hopefully give Apple the kick they need to bring the '5 to market, as lets face facts it was probably already in development before the 4S had finished its development.
