Whos trading their DX for the iphone

[Dyster]

Glad to hear it. You chose wisely. We wouldn't want to burn you at the stake now. Hmmmm steak...

BTW, how is Taptalk? would you recommended it? I see a few people using it.

 

[ckochinsky125]

Why trade a phone that can make calls no matter how you hold it for one you have to hold a certain way to keep signal?

 

[Dyster]

That's what I'm saying! There are those people who are just enamored with Apple products. I had an imac. They can keep it.
Their design work is top notch, but follow through is not my taste.

 

[ckochinsky125]

Yeah but people will jump to buy it if it came to verizon just more apple fanboys we don't need especially not on our network stay with at&t

 

[Dyster]

Agreed! My relative always looses calls to me and they wouldn't know what to do if they could complete a call by dialing one time.

Why is this thread still alive? No one that likes Android would get an iFail on Verizon as it will be waaaay outclassed by the time it came. LTE phones, 2Ghz processors, Gingerbread OS > Same old iPhone in a fragile, pretty glass case.

Like you all mentioned before, keep that p.o.s. off of Verizon's network so the iSheep will stay away and off our network. If you want a crApple product, go get an iPod Touch as it is identical to the iPhone, neither one makes calls.

 

[benjiedude]

Ok. I'm definitely not. Apple's trying to say now that the reception bars accuracy was never real, LOL.

Apple `stunned' to find iPhones show too many bars - Yahoo! Finance

Actually the multi tasking in Android is only a step better than iPhone but still not as good as WM. Try composing an email on Android and half way through switch to a different app to look something up, say you want to copy somone's telephone number and paste it into the email. Switch back to the mail function and your email is gone! Switch back to contacts and you aren't in that contact anymore! This via holding the Home button.

In WM you get back exactly where you were.

Just tried it with Gmail and Touchdown and they both were where they were in the new mail composition. I am running Froyo though so maybe that could be a factor. This is using the long-press on home method. I was able to go contacts and back.

If I just hit the home button however, Touchdown reverts to the opening screen and loses the composition while Gmail retains its state so it depends on how the apps are written as well. For the most part, going back and forth in Android isn't a problem.

 

[damstr]

Yeah I just tried it too and when I clicked the mail icon it went right back to them email I was composing. Never missed a beat! I'm also running froyo.

i sense a mac fanboy.....disguised as a Droid user.

There, I fixed it for you. There are plenty of mac fanboys that use android.

 

[Lars]

I do own two itouches lol. I'd never own an iPhone. My Inc died with a hardware problem so I unrooted it and sent it packing. I'm back to my old wm phone until the x comes.

Maybe froyo helps on the task switching issue. It's annoying to lose a half written email because you had to look something up.

Yeah because apple rarely changes their phone so when it came on verizon it would be the same one released a few days ago only outdated by however many years it is until it came to verizon. I know i wouldnt switch i like android far to much and the phones also

 

[Lars]

Hmm Maybe it's the htc mail app. I was using it with exchange.

Why are so many people quick to call someone a "fanboy" for liking a product or prefering it to something else. To me, a fanboy is someone who is kinda like the iPhone vs Evo video, not having the knowledge and just blindly advocating for a certain device. But it seems like we throw it around so much, just to describe anybody who likes Apple. I've had an iPhone 4 since the day before launch day and it really is a good phone. I live in NC and have had no worse reception than I get on my Droid, and have had 3G 95% of the time. I do have the signal loss thing with the "death grip", but since I slap a case on all my phones anyway, it hasn't bothered me. It's got plenty of things going for it, but even still, I'm returning it. I do prefer the Android OS and so I've reserved my Droid X to replace my Droid (because after moving up to the iPhone 4, I can't take a step down to the Droid, even as good as it is). I do think though, that if the iPhone came to Verizon, it would be a great device and tempting for anyone who stops to objectively consider their choices. Obviously, no phone can stay "the best one yet" for long (think Droid, Droid Incredible, Droid X, Droid 2, Galaxy S, all within about one year), but that doesn't make it irrelevant. Just my two cents...

 

[Kaoss]

There is no way I want the Iphone over the Droid X! Of all the reasons I'm going with the DX the network isn't one of them. The V network is just a bonus for me. The differences between these phones are night and day. And your talking to a guy who has wanted an Iphone for 3 years!!

 

[ckochinsky125]

Agree who wants a small screen anymore

 

[Wolfedude88]

There are people still out there. I am in a I.T. department and several of my coworkers who have an iphone, said they would like a iphone with a smaller screen than it already has. I guess it just depends on what you use it for, but man I feel like 3.5 is the smallest I would want my screen.

 

[carmendiva]

at best i will stick with 3.7 on my droid

after tasting the size of the Evo(hmm that didn't sound right)
i can never mess with the likes of the Eris/Hero or even the iphone

Bring on the 15th

Maybe you should try again I only have 2.1 and it works fine. flipped out and copied a phone number from my contacts and flipped back to email and pasted it. No problem

 

[Mr. Meowington]

See the only thing Apple really has going for them is the app store. I keep wondering when Android will either start getting ports of games or when the game development community is going to step it up past ROMs. Any thoughts or news?

 

[QuickSilver98]

I don't believe it. Just like I didn't believe the rumors about the iPhone coming to Verizon in this year, last year, or in 08.

 

[ucla2042]

i'm not going to switch. i use to be a hardcore apple user. but after sitting down with droid inc for about a month. i thoroughly enjoy the android experience and UI. i do love apple games though. so i guess when apple makes a bigger screen, it might switch back for the reason that apple video games are sooooo much better

 

[carmendiva]

The only thing I wished Android would stop doing is coming out with a new spectacular phone every single month but start focusing on the applications to get more quality apps like the iphone

but it really isnt a manufacturer thing but more like a google thing.

Sometimes I wonder is "open" such a good thing....
