iPhone, Android or WinPhone 7?

[TarJak]

What's your poison in smartphones?

[Buddahaid]

Never have one and talk to the girl near you.

I don't have one, and probably won't get one. That said, a friend's son has an iPhone, and he uses it to make videos and post them direct to YouTube. It even zooms!

Still, I don't even make phone calls that much, and my phone's camera hasn't been used in more than a year.

My HTC Hero currently running Android 2.1 and I'm thinking of rooting it and sticking on 2.2.

It flies. I've only got free apps but those that I have would be worth paying for, including a metal detector - I mean, on a phone, who'd have thought it!

I have friends and colleagues with iPhones and I'd say about 15 -25% have had serious issues with them Vs Android, nil.

W7Phone I've not used, not seen (apart from in media) and know nobody with one.

But that's just me :D

Never had anything other than various models of fruit machines (Blackberry) for about 8 years now but both my offspring are into this modern technology.

I will chew off my own testicles before I get an apple product, apple can go **** itself as far as I am concerned.

Have got a Windows Mobile 6 (predecessor to WinPhone 7) phone now, and WM definitely has some things it can be improved on. Since M$ cannot be trusted on improving their software I'll not vote that one.


Never had an Android device, so I don't have any opinion on it.


But since I agree with antikristuseke:I will chew off my own testicles before I get an apple product, apple can go **** itself as far as I am concerned.I really don't know what to vote for:-?

Trust me mate, a windows phone is your best choice
although, if you are truly looking for the best phone experience, a sharp is your best choice, just they are hard to get outside of Asia

wasn't life easier when apple and blackberry were just fruits?

Strong reccomendation for Android here, although like Win7 that depends on what handset you get :)

iPhone, eeeech, I won't say that it's definitely an awful product or something like that, but it's designed for a certain market. I like to mess around with what my smartphone can do, and Apple very much don't want you doing that.

[Fincuan]

Android here all the way, on a Samsung Galaxy S.

Functionality is on par or much above that of Apple's products, and I can do whatever I want with my phone. If the official configuration doesn't quite cut it there are always lots of free user-made alternatives around. For example it took the user-community only a few weeks to produce an easy-to-install temporary fix for the intermittent lag and hickups some users experience, while Samsung still hasn't managed to provide one.

Ditto...if you do root it and put on a 2.2 distro, will you let me know which one and how it's working out? Thanks.

[Dowly]

None. Still using my old Nokia 3220, gets the job done.

I got in an iPhone in August, I like it. I really like the idea of Android, but do not like:
- Unless you have a Nexus One, you are using an OS provided by your carrier/manufacturer, not Google. You have to wait for the carrier/manufacturer to push out updates for it. Which does not always happen speedily.
- The carrier/manufacturer can put software on it that you cannot remove in many cases.
- Performance can be wonky in Android. Really not much of an issue in the high end Android handsets nowadays though. The proprietary Apple solution really outdoes Android here though.

The control the carriers/manufacturers exert over Android handsets really turned me off from getting one. That and I spend most of my time at work developing for the iPhone platform. I think I will eventually get an Android Wi-Fi only tablet if the price is competitive with iPad, just to be able to play around with the platform.

That Apple products are made for "a certain set of people" is true to an extent. The fact that you have to root your Android device to do a lot of customization though makes this a ridiculous argument to me. I could jailbreak my iPhone and do most of what Android offers. The complexity/customization in Apple products is there for the most part, you just have to go beyond the outermost layer of the platform. Which most people who use Apple products really don't care to do.
