I love neat cell phones!!! Before I start I will list the phones that I have had since 2007
1st genration iphone
HTC Tilt
2nd G. iphone
blackberry curve
blackberry bold
3rd G. iphone
HTC tilt 2
Samsung mytic (what was i thinking)
3rd g. iphone
Samsung Captivate (1 and a half week)
Sony X10
So as you can see I have a deep phone history. I loved iphone but I was just so borad with it. So I decided I would grab an android phone. I enjoyed the Captivate but it was very laggy and kept frezzing, so I just could not take it anymore so then I got the X10 a few days ago. I can say it is a very smooth phone with no lag. But I hate the email system android has. Why do I have to get an app like k-9 to get my yahoo email. And don't even try to use it for work related emails. I tried to enjoy the android OS but I guess I am not all into the apps and stuff. I never did the app thing when I had my iphones either. I think these phones are good for teens and college aged people. I am damn near 30 and I guess i need more of a grown up phone so i will pick up a tourch tomorrow. So, it's been real android but I must say goodbye. So if you are thinking about an android I would try it out if you just want a phone to play with. If you want a big boy phone or a big women phone amdroid is not for you. If you are thinking of android or iphone I will tell you the truth iphone is the best phone you will find with no lag.
Bullshit. iOS is a dog out of the box. I've been a member of Apples iPhone Dev community since August of 2008 and all anyone who chooses to conform to Apples bullshit policy restrictions...is complain on the Dev forums....and it's been that way since I got a hold of iphone OS2.1
The Chinese manufactured hardware platforms that Apple cripples with it's code....is, in my opinion, a great Dev platform...but because iPhone devs live in a community where apple laid the ground work for standards across devices...there are things (lots and lots of things) apple doesn't get right....or refuse to change....and they get changed across all iOS devices by the people who are not Apple, because the hardware abstraction layer is similar across the board, and one exploit can affect millions....and millions of people on different models of iDevice, at the same time, and the experience will be similar.
Android isn't like that. Because google doesnt want to do phones....they want to sell ads...so they push it off on the OEM, and then the Operator service screws the phone up even more with their corporate customization.....but did you ever notice that ATT doesn't get to brand the iphone UI, it gets a one board plist script....tucked away in the settings.app....because ATT would have screwed up the phone in order to sell more stuff...
The Galaxy is rock solid with android on it. I've played with an associates developer unit. but I haven't gotten to personally experience a carrier branded device, which are always made ugly and bloated and slow because of all that 3rd party bs they want you to buy.
You should have tried to flash some vanilla froyo or whatever they call the generic firmware before it gets the carrier plist and operator library, or whatever google names it.
Android isn't the Problem....anarchy, which also happens to be the purest form of freedom, is the problem. Droid sucks for some, but not for others because the rules are there ain't no rules...even Motorola is whining like a little girl for qc standards between their FW usage...they are code signing android installs at the firmware level....because they saw apple do it and thought 'we should be stupid, just like apple'
If you think that iPhones are great when they leave Foxconn in the little crApple boxes, with those stupid crApple stickers in them....
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
...then you don't know what an I-phone is...what they give you is their-phone they way they say you want it.
The Cydia community had CnP, task switching, we had Video Camera, our Mod community had user customizable alerts and UI modification, gesture launching, wifi and bluetooth 3G bridges...we even have flash (which actually does suck for a touch interface) screen recording....wireless syncing....hell, you still cant do a write to the directory...you cnat even really save an email binary...or open a file...or install a piece of software unless Apple gives you permission, we do....alll before Apple did or will.....or won't, because most are fine with the status quo...because apple makes it hard for anyone to think different when they all have the same thing, and aren't allowed to have anything else.
But android isn't for you, because you feel its UI is a little slow. Thats a decent reason not to have one.
I dont have one (not a real one, just an install on an iphone) ....not for me because I don't live in a trailer park eating government cheese an....Nahhhhh I'm just playing....except about iPhone really is a special kind of stupid on stock firmware. It doesn't break much because it doesn't let the User change anything...and they totally reject any notion that a non apple developer could make their design more capable, less redundant and better performing....but they don't want to spend all day answering questions from really lazy customers who won't or don't read, and want help to browse the internets on their phone......so they hired the Mall to do it for them....and it worked.
Btw, HTC didn't make a 'tilt' Its name was Kaiser until ATT turned it into a ******, HTC makes the best mobile computing platforms when taking into accept their policy flexibility on customer suggestions....I loved my wizard and my kaiser, but hated WMx, until I found XDA Developers.
I bet I really like my iphone4 when they get open iboot up on a good handset.
Then I can have my own little iPhone fan boy vs googlesheep debates all by my self...
therwise, this is lame.
