My Hungover iPhone
It's actually not me that's hungover. It's my phone. Here's my theory: Apple released iOS v3 and it was so splendiferously good that my phone secretly went on a drinking binge. By the time iOS 4 came out, the phone had had enough with the bottle and simply fell into a nasty hangover.
Search speeds, browsing speeds, even navigating the freaking settings was slow. The phone that had once been so snappy was now a sluggish beast that could barely manage playing an mp3 whilst placing a "Q" tile on the board in Words with Friends.
And I'm not even going to bitch about AT&T's network "service."
My point here is to provide a little back-story to why I want to move away from my current phone. AT&T is less than admirable (text costs), their connections are spotty and drain my battery quickly in Chicago, Apple has bloated my iPhone 3G and provides me no way to make it lean and mean again, and I have a slight desire to do more phone-tweaking (read: root).
And a switch to Sprint's EVO 4G = cheaper monthly cost (we'll see about that) + a phone with more features + allegedly a faster network. Oh, and they offered a 30-day return policy. I was sold, and so the testing begins.
