I have this guy who wants to sell me a mint condition Samsung Galaxy S4 for Verizon (which is the network I'm on) it is the 32GB model for about $450.
The thing is I've grown quite bored with my iPhone 5 having been an iPhone user since 2008 when the iPhone 3G came out (it was my first smartphone). I fell in love instantly with my 3G then I got the iPhone 4 and now the iPhone 5 but 6 years is a long time and I'm pretty sick of staring at a grid.
Apple has addressed some major issues I had with iOS mainly the lack of quick settings access, as well as the horrific browser that is/was Safari with its 8 window limit. Also the multitasking is infuriating for iOS 6 and below with me having to double tap the home button then holding the icon and then tapping them dead one by one.
iOS 7 has addressed all these major issues BUT I still can't shake the boring feel of a 4x5 grid of apps, and to be honest the iOS 7 color scheme looks like a drugged-out raver's wet dream.
The S4 is a great phone, the iPhone 5 is also a fantastic gadget and I think the iPhone's Achilles heel is iOS itself. I want the S4 but I kind of want to wait and see how the iOS 7 experience will be different when compared to previous iterations of iOS.
My big problem is this guy told me I have a week to think on it otherwise he has another buyer interested and that he is only holding it for me because I'm his cousin's friend, I'm also a college student lol. So the $450 financial hit can't go without compensation meaning I'm going to have to sell my iPhone in order to get the Galaxy and remain financially stable.
Should I wait? Or should I pull the trigger and go ahead with the switch to Samsung and Android?
Also before anyone suggests it, I don't want to wait for the Note 3 as it will surely be even bigger than the Note 2 which is already a little too big for my liking to start with, 5 inches seems perfect for me, nor do I want an S3 (S3's more rounded corners make it look pretty ugly like a pill, while the S4 is squared out just enough to avoid that body shape.)
