It seems you are pretty unhappy with your iPhone4 experience thus far. If you did decide to ditch it for another phone what would that phone be?

While it’s true that I’m unhappy with parts of my iPhone 4 experience (specifically dropping calls and the proximity sensor), it is otherwise one of the best products Apple has ever made. I keep describing the iPhone 4 to people as the “best and worst phone I’ve ever owned,” which is very true. The industrial design, the way it feels in your hand, et cetera—it’s gorgeous. And the screen has made nearly every other screen on earth look like shit.

If I had to switch to another phone, I would go with an Android device, but I’ve had a Nexus One for a long time now and I couldn’t use it daily if only because I would miss all the amazing apps I use on my iPhone that aren’t available on the Android platform.

It is obviously saying something that I would rather continue to use my iPhone 4 even with these frustrations than switch to any other device. And it doesn’t hurt that I make my living from building applications for iOS.
