Should I replace My Digital Camera with iPhone 4S

Tom — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 17:17:05 +0000

By now you probably have read many reviews on iPhone 4S. The fact that iPhone 4S features an 8 megapixel camera make you wonder why do I need to carry another camera with? Should you replace my point-and-shoot digital camera with the new iPhone 4S so I can put one less item in my pocket or purse? I already gave up my camera since the iPhone 4 came with. Even with 5 megapixels, the iPhone 4 still take great pictures and 720p HD videos. Playback on iPad, Mac, or PC is just super clear. The only problem I had is when you actually print them out. Some pictures taken at night appear to be grainy. I don’t really know how many of you are planning to print them out and hang them on the wall. I usually show my friends pictures on iPad or simply share them to Facebook. With new 8 megapixel camera on iPhone 4S – the shutter is going to be much faster. The phone itself is much thinner than any point-and-shoot camera. The only drawback for some people is that there is no optical zoom, which I could care less. One big advantage of the iPhone 4S over regular digital camera is that it has a large screen and can record 1080p HD videos and edit them right on the spot. If I were you I will not only replace my digital camera but also get rid of the camcorder all together. Trust me, you will find yourself taking more photos and videos with the new phone. Yup, that’s a pretty good reason to upgrade to iPhone 4S, right?

Sprint and Verizon iPhone 4S are GSM-Unlocked

Tom — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:05:28 +0000

Do you know that your new Sprint or Verizon iPhone 4S are already unlocked for GSM network? That means you can simply purchase a local sim card when travel oversea and save hundreds of dollars on the roaming fees. Sprint will sell iPhone 4S with micro-SIM slot unlocked. However, for Verizon Wireless customers you will have to wait 60 days to request “International unlock” provided that your account is good standing.

AT&T customers, sorry, your brand new iPhone 4S is not unlocked – you are still forced to pay AT&T’s roaming charges. So rather than paying for international roaming Sprint and Verizon iPhone 4S customers traveling internationally can take advantage of the new unlocked feature and get dramatically cheaper rate with a pre-paid micro-SIM card for data and voice calling. Apple store sells unlocked iPhone 4 for $649 while Verizon Wireless and Sprint offer iPhone 4S 16GB at $199. So price is huge advantage too. The only downside is that you will be using a local number instead of the one in the U.S. Make sure to let your family and friends know about the new number.
