FWIW, I think you should rock the phone around 3 months before writing a review. I used to be a pretty die hard apple girl and when I switched to my GS3 back in the day, it truly took me 3 months to decide whether I liked the phone or not. Turns out I did like but it really took me that long to see the diamond in the coal.
That included form as well as function. My iP4 was my first and best smartphone so far (If my current Note 4 lasts 2 years without glitches and issues) it will be almost a tie. The reason being that my iP4 is STILL being used by my family after 4-5 years being reliable etc. I had to trade in my GS3 because it started screwing up dialling calls just at the second year mark. So I got a free replacement S4 which I used only until I got my Note.

Yep, definitely won't post a full review anytime soon, but I might post occasional updates on the phone.
The two most frustrating things I've seen thus far is the rare lag (only happened to me once) and the keyboard. Having a good keyboard is very important to me and I used swiftkey on my Note 3 without any hassle. When I switched to iOS, I was excited to try nintype because I caught a promo video on YT and really wanted it on android (unfortunately the developer had only made a beta android version so it was too buggy to use). But in all honesty, I've had nothing but issues with this iPhone. When I opened the phone and set it up the first time, I had to do a hard reset just so I could get past the location services setup screen.
But I still like the phone. Every software has it's quirks so it's expected in iOS, but ... we'll see.
