Only problems with it are the aforementioned bloatware and the fact it can be fairly capricious about sending Emails. Aside from that, it's a great handset and almost as good as my old iPhone was.

Just ditched my iphone for a Defy+.

Better reception, better call quality, better control.

I'm liking the change.

Android 2.2 (Can even use it as a hotspot)

Lots of apps.
Integration to FB, Twitter etc
Great internet browser

Cons:
Battery only lasts 1 day with full use (Though, I guess this is the norm for big screened smartphones)
Cant use MP4

Just upgraded to a Htc one s. Loving it!

I think tablets will probably kill laptop sales over the next five years or so. I love my laptop, but with the exception of word processing I can't really think of a single thing I do with it that I couldn't now do on my tablet. Well, games, I guess, but it's only a matter of time before they become powerful enough to run a good portion of the titles on the market.

Writing? How well does word processing work without a proper keyboard?

The poster you were responding to I believe did say "with the exception of word processing".

But there are plenty of keyboard docks/bluetooth keyboards that you can hook up to a tablet, and obviously the hardware is perfectly capable of word processing.

The end of the PC workstation as we know it for the non-specialized worker/consumer is coming!

Well like many I have owned all makes of phones, yes even the brick.
My latest is the IPhone 4s.
Pros.
Looks great
Easy to use
Has a great 8meg camera
Cons.
You have to pay for most apps
Battery only lasts around a day if you are lucky.

Other than that I really love my iPhone.

Got myself a Sony-Ericsson xperia Arc S a couple of days ago, compared to my X8 this thing is awesome. Well built, powerful enough for my use while not costing an arm and a leg.
That said, I would probably still recommend a Samsung Galaxy S2 over it in the same price range, but they were out of stock on those here.

Not being a snot, but my wife got the new I phone. After the contract and accessories it costs 600$ (and a little more)
It does less than my 200$ android phone. Which is mid range.

What is the allure, that makes people wait on line overnite for this crap?

I pay 35$ a month. With no 2 year contract.

Is it some kind of social status thing?

I do not get it, and I am not an apple trasher, but I am not impressed. 600 for what my 200$ phone does faster. with no contract.

I hope no one here is as stupid as we were...I am warning you now, it is pure crap for the price paid.

Betonov · 09-29-12, 02:30 AM

I don't get it either.

I paid €120 for my sony-ericson, no problems after 8 months. Only the SD card is a bit small, only 2gb and I'm to lasy to go buy a new one.

It's not why people buy Iphones. I'd buy an Iphone.
But paying more for a phone than I did for my car, that's just crazy.

I just get an evil grinn when i read up on Apples mistakes

The same kind I get when I see a broken down Audi or BMW

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with technology...both my kids have Iphones but I stick with my old reliable Blackberry.

LtzS_Petersen · 09-29-12, 04:17 AM

My Son has an iPhone4 and a MacBook pro. I have a small Android (Wildfire S) and a PC. Yes, i'm a PC.

I gave him 200 Euro for a Phone, the Rest were from relatives and by selling unused Birthday Gifts on ebay.
For my Android i payed 4,95 eur and 20 eur per month for the Contract. And it makes a good Job, mp3, Navigation, a short call for my workmates when im to late by traffic jam.
The iPhone is good and works too, but i can buy two good Androids for the Money. Apple is some kind of Relegion for young People here in Germany, but i'm an old Atheist.

This. Every 6 months or so, we have the phone conversation at work. All the fancy/ expensive phones come out and "look what my phone can do" and "oh, you have THAT phone [insert inferior phone here]

".

Then I pull out my $20 pay as you go phone

(from the subsim meet

).

I usually upgrade every two years or so, but the iphone is way too expensive and the hardware is inferior to other handsets way bellow its price range, cont comment much on the software but since i can do anything i need on the android with all the comfort i expect there is no point to change that which is not broken.
