    There should be a grace period from when you leave to be able to come back to the plan you had. I'm sure there are countless others that want to go back to ATT (especially the ones that left for Sprint)

    People must realize that in order to FORCE Apple to release a brand new exciting, overwhelming class leading phone they need to stop buying the utterly disappointing, underwhelming, epic fail ip4s with its gimmicky Siri. Clearly people are just bored and need something to buy and have been incidentally passing by the Apple store in droves. When customer satisfaction reports come out their disdain will become apparent.....



    EDIT:

    Apparently people will not understand that the above is sarcastic People are not bored, don't incidentally walk past Apple stores in droves, and the customer satisfaction reports as reported on yesterday show that people are overwhelmingly satisfied with the ip4s. Very few users express disdain related to the iPhone 4s. But to all you iPhone4s nay sayers - na-na-na-nah-nah!



    If you now mistakenly respond to the first part of this post missing the irony - you are officially an idjeet.

    I think the sarcasm will be missed by many. Even after noting it here it will still be missed.

    I don't think the 4S will continue to sell as well after this quarter for that exact reason. The first calendar quarter will see a drop off from the holiday quarter and I believe the 2nd 2012 calendar quarter will be downright dismal, especially if rumours start up about a new improved physically different phone. I just can't see Apple waiting until October 2012 to introduce a new phone. In my opinion if they did that the decline in sales would be precipitous in the 3rd calendar quarter.



    All of this won't matter, though, because when the v6 iPhone hits the streets it will suck the air from the room for at least 15 months. The Android system will actually see a noticeable decline in market share by this time next year (if the v6 iPhone comes out in June 2012).

    I think everyone gets tired of hearing this one.



    "Just wait until the iPhone gets to verizon it will crush Android."



    "Just wait until the new iPhone "v5" comes out it will halt Android"



    "Once the iPhone gets to Sprint it will destroy Android"



    Android is here and it is here to stay. It is a damn good mobile OS and their is no denying that as millions of people are buying android phones each month.



    I work for one of the major telecoms and I am noticing a lot of switches in platforms this last month. The interesting thing is it is not what I expected to be. These customers are leaving iPhones behind and are purchasing large screen android based Smart phones (Most consumers and sells people see size not DPI).



    The Odds of Apple managing in the near future a phone that will completely drop interest in android is around the Same possibilities of us seeing an iPhone"Killer" phone from any of the other OEMs. Truth said it will never happen people now prefer their HTCs over any other phone. HTC is really getting a loyal consumer following. We are seeing people waiting in lines for some of the Motorola phones (Droid Razr). So these OEMs are getting better and Android is constantly improving itself in features and finally usability with 4.0



    I am not trying to be a troll or a fanboy I am looking at the evidences and just making sense of it.

    If you really are trying to make sense of it then why don't you actually read what people are saying rather than making up a bunch of crap to suit your argument.



    Did I say crush anywhere in my comment?



    I said that there will be a noticeable decline in Android's market share. Nowhere did I say that iOS will overtake Android... and neither would I.



    You do know about saturation in a market and what happens at that point, right?
