Just got the IPhone 4 anything you can tell me about it

[SLY]

No coincidence. With an iphone, you have one...single...option. The hardware and software is proprietary, and rigid. There are very few options for customization.

iPhones just work. Like their Mac counterparts, they are (no haterade here, just spelling it like it see it) "dumbed down for the masses". And that's why they are so successful with their products. Anyone can use them with little to no previous experience. I'd buy my grandma a Mac or iPad before a PC just for the ease of use.

Androids are the complete opposite. They are highly customizable out of the box. You don't like the messaging system? Replace it. Don't like the keyboard? Replace it. Don't like the MMS/SMS system? Replace it. Every subsystem on the phone can be replaced. Nothing on the iPhone can be replaced.

Don't want to pay for ringtones? Want free music? Android is the way to go.

Want to be forced into a niche and have a bulletproof phone? Go Team iPhone!

I like bulletproof. Like I said before... No issues whereas my Android friends crash all the fucking time. Apps suck balls as far as notifications go. Lame.

Are you a 12-year-old Korean?

Are you a 12-year-old Korean?

and even if he is, what the hell makes him think you can't get a ringtone on an iphone? I can make a ringtone out of any cut of any song on my itunes, for free?

lol i am GOING to use that the next time someone's phone goes off in a meeting

 

[ForkEmBucky]

Bulletproof could be nice. I do get a little annoyed with android sometimes.

 

[whyoh]

bulletproof?


my phone is made out of kevlar

 

[fordman84]

also firefox on android sucks....that's not a good argument in favor of android, loc

not to mention the fact that "android vs iphone" is about a stupid argument as you can have. One is nothing more than an operating system, one is hardware. I know it is meant as android vs iOS, but even that is confusing. I don't know many people that are running the same android os. How many are there? Ice cream sandwhich, gingerbread, honeycomb, fudgepacker...I mean the list is idiotic and the segmentation does more to hurt android than anything Apple could ever do. Then you compound that with the different phones that can run it, as well as the custom mods companies like Amazon do with the Fire, and the variables are exponential.

There's about 20 apps on iPhone to do that.

Team iPhone!

lol...way to start the paragraph objectively

Team iPhone!

fuck yeah!

The droid X razr is NOT kevlar. my roommate broke his last weekend and we were able to tear through it with our bare hands..unless you're really able to tear kevlar..

Bulletproof is good. As a developer, getting apps onto the Store is a HUGE pain in the ass. It's all about Quality Control, and Apple has a stranglehold on it (thus, bulletproof).

If you're friends Androids are crashing, it's (mostly) user error. My entire family and most of my friends have Androids of one flavor or another. They don't crash unless you do something stupid with them.

My iPhone locked up more then my Android's ever have (and that was rare for the iPhone).

Currently using the Razr Maxx. Best phone I've ever owned (including my iPhone 4).

droid x =/= dorid razr


and the "bulletproof" thing is kinda like my own inside joke...a best buy clerk tried telling me it would stop a bullet...i told him he may want to be careful who he says that to, someone's bound to test it


it is kevlar but just a very thin guage

I don't get the reference! What I miss?

The average user wont have a clue how to use iTunes to make a ringtone.

whatever the updated X is that is super thin. The newest one. You know what I am talking about.

and if it is real, its about as hard to rip through as poster board

then would you say that is likely a user issue, not a phone or OS issue?

The Droid X is a model of phone. It has nothing to do with the Razr, or the Razr Maxx.

The average user can easily DL and install free ringtones directly from an Android. No need to plug it into anything. (I use Zedge)

To the best of my knowledge, you can't do that on an iPhone. Do they allow apps that install free ringtones now? In the past, they haven't.
