And yet, just 3 hours before the post, the author apparently tweetspammed his followers for a chance to win an iPhone 5:

  Kevin Sookocheff ‏@soofaloofa 3h
  Enter to win a brand new iPhone 5 from @iPhoneinCanada and 
  @TELUS! http://bit.ly/188DQzL

So maybe take this with a grain of salt?

Guilty ... a free phone is a free phone.

And there's no crime in that. I'm firmly in the iOS camp, but have several Android devices for testing/playing.

Unfortunately, there's been a rash of proclaiming! (iphones, androids, standing desks, whatever) posts submitted to HN, and you go back a week or a month later and the poster is back to their old ways.

I would rather see submissions that are something like "6 months ago, I switched to x, and I'm never going back!". To me, these are the more insightful posts.
