What kind of phone do you have?


Recommended Posts

I will get the Galaxy Note once it comes out on Verizon. I currently have the Dell Streak 5" and love, love, love the big screen. I got to use the Note for a couple hours on ATT, but turned it in within a day because I know I can't get 4G with ATT at my house, but loved everything else about it. It will definitely retire my Streak.

Problem is this phone makes my hands look small, and you know what they say about small hands....

things peopel say about iphone that arent true:

1. i dont want to be forced to buy all my music through itunes

you dont, i never buy any music, you can use an app called idownload and get free music or movies, also its not 2005 anymore, ituens songs arent rights protected, they are flat out raw mp3's that can be used on any device, so if you torrent, etc, you can just drag and drop and sync... its like me saying "i dont want to be forced to buy all my music from google music store" its not even a little bit true.

2. the no flash argument.

90% of websites have an iOS version of the site, my co worker was making fun of me they were watching nfl.com videos. "too bad your iPoop doesnt do flash" to which i launched nfl.com and played highlights, and every other type of video in the stock safari browser.

any major site will display video and whatever else just fine, hell im upgrade GbTV here to have a mobile version that detects android/ios/bberry browser and plays in all of them. everything plays, sports, porn, everything.. iOS dominates the tablet market and in last weeks report has basically tied android for smartphone OS market percentage... do people really thing its some akward flashless thing that doesnt work on a bunch of websites?

3. Cost of apps. "i dont want to ahve to pay for all of my apps"

and you dont. in fact, the app store offers both, unlike most android apps, i f'ing HATE ads in my apps, ads in apps literally make me stop using the app, i played words with friends in my ipod, then got an android, i had paid $.99 for the app on my ipod to get it add-free.. the only version for my android was the free one, and after every play it takes you to a shit full page add and you have to go back and all that.. if i did that here, after every post you got a full page ad, this place would be a ghost town..or i would be a millionaire..

the iOS app store offers both to most apps, the $1 version with no ads or the ad version for free, games, regular apps, everything.. my telenav had a free and a 99 cent version... every single game i have had both, i will GLADLY give less than a dollar to never have to look at ads on anything i play or use. shit i would pay $5 to not have to look at ads. and all of the big name games like mlB2k and all that still costs money on android, too... there is virtually ZERO difference in cost of apps if free is what you desire.

Sidenote, the retina display gives me a boner everytime i look at it, which makes life akwrd sometimes...

lastly, there is a GREAT article from a guy who worked for both apple and google athat details the differences between the OS's. pros and cons to both. its a nice unbiased article.. i will try to find and post..

the main difference is the iOS is targeting the end user experience. the android puts tasks in order. so if you launch the web, open an app, clcik on the messaging start typing then launch the camera... it does it all in order. which is why when you do a few things in a row on android and it lags or freezes then does them all really fast.. like typing a message super fast and its typing nothing then types all 3 sentences in 2 seconds... its the opposite on iOS... it prioritizes to the user touch. so if you start loading a webpage and press and hold the screen, it stops loading the page and dedicates its resources to what you are doing so you do get the lag or freezing or stuff of that nature. its TECHNICALLY doing your other tasks slower.. but your experience is immediate responsiveness when you touch the screen.

i will try to find it....

lastly in the android vs ios differences.. the androids partition the memory whether it be internal or SD card even though you can move the apps to the SD or general storage the app data and cache takes up the phone memory partition, which is typically only 1-2 gb TOPS.. some 9+ month and low end androids have 256MB internal phone memory.. when this gets full the phone freezes and lags and crashes and deletes text messages, etc..

ios doesnt discriminate memory.. so if you have nothing but apps and have 8GB of app data.. phone works fine, if you have the 16gb 4s, you have plenty of room left.. android needs cache cleaned and files kept to a minimum based on internal phone memory partition, if you have a newer ior high end chances are you have 1-2GB of internal phone memory for apps. even if you have 16GB internal memory.. only 1-2 GB tops is alloted for apps data and caches, etc..so onces you get close to that you will experience some slowness, etc..

i will try to find that article if people are interested.. its a geeky fun read...

You are absolutely right. I will stick with my big screen phone to accurately reflect the size of my penis.

I'm getting a Samsung Note, which is getting closer to the appropriate sized phone for a man of my stature.

Could be what they say about guys with jacked up trucks... compensating for a little pecker! ;)


Joking aside... have to read through that article - sounds good. You iphone users... one thing I noticed setting up a co-workers iPhone 4S yesterday for Exchange email - if you have say a google email account and then an Exchange email account... can it keep those mailboxes separate? His was dumping everything into one "mailbox" and there was no differentiating between the two email accounts' messages. If not, that SUCKS.

Help! Still going back and forth as to what I'm going to do next month...

I have 5 email accounts on my iPhone including Exchange and they're all separate, but on the main mailbox screen the top option is for [b]all[/b] emails, so it actually does both...

Oh good... I assume then you can "cut" an icon of some sort or another to each of these to the main screen if you want to? So, if I want to see work email I can click one icon and pull up work email...

never tried to separate them, they are separate int he app itself aside from the "all" inbox. click back gives you all of the separate mailbox options. which is faster than it would be to click home button scroll to mail page, click the OTHER mailbox icon, etc...

i have 4 mailboxes...

now gmail has its own app which is f'n fantastic... unless you need gmail as an exchange for some reason, using the gmail app is great, push email, all folders, everything works super smooth.
