Never owned an iphone/ipod before, coming from android, previous phone: Motorola Droid X.Things I like:The hardware; it's a crazy light and ridiculously thin phone that looks very stylish.Speed - LTE + the processor makes everything super fast, there's all kinds of videos out there showing how it's twice as fast as the 4s.The bigger screen, i just couldn't have seen myself switching if Apple had kept a 3.5" screen. The modern screen size is 4.5" - 4.8" now, but the combination of retina display and that Apple was willing admit 3.5" is not the perfect screen size and finally increase it to 4" is enough that I'm quite happy with the screen.Screen brightness is great, easy to see outside, and very little glare.Things I dislike:Mine came with 2 chips on the rim, almost all of friends have had chips somewhere, if it comes like that out of the box something tells me there's gonna be a lot more over time.Keeping it the same width while increasing the length gave it a great look/feel compared to previous versions, however, after a couple weeks of use, I notice in many scenarios your using both hands to use the phone and when I do my hands feel very cramped.Trying to hit both volume buttons to take a picture is annoying, I notice most people opt for using the virtual button.
