iPhone, Android or WinPhone 7?

What's your poison in smartphones?

Buddahaid · 11-05-10, 05:54 PM

Never have one and talk to the girl near you.

Sailor Steve · 11-05-10, 05:56 PM

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

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 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?

None of the above. I'm still using smoke signals

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.

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.

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