I had a go on iphone 4 yesterday lol

This thread is a bit of a waste really but i just thought i would share my opinion !
well my sister came around yesterday and started flashing her new ipony4 about, so i grabbed it and had a play and at first glance I liked it over the old 3gs, the screen res for a smaller screen than my hd2 was impressive but then my sister start telling them all the problems she is having with it in the last 2 weeks oh how i laughed !!! ha ha
but getting back to me playign about with it it wasnt even 5mins later i was borrrrrred to death with it !!!!!!
I cannot work out for the life of me what the big fashionation is with the iphone! I think its like marmite, you either love it or hate it and I Hate it!!!!

Same with me.
Work colleague got it recently and must admit screen does look impressive, much better clarity than older models.....but that is basically it, there are no other new features that impressed me despite how much she tried to show it off
ha - also they are paying £50/month plus £15/month insurance 18m contract............and they also had to pay money towards handset...........I am not kidding! oh yeah, and she had to buy a case for it in order to use it for its most basic of functions, calling people.
They said to me, "Aren't you tempted by it?"
"Lol I pay half that for a phone I got 8 months ago which is still better in every way"

Its all down to how they have had it advertised, as with all Apple products.
There not mind blowing, just cleverly advetised.

I don't think I'd ever want to go back to a smaller sized screen. The new iPhone may have a better resolution or clearer screen or whatever, but it's still small.

I know what you all mean - once I've had my leo, I cant seem to like anything else. Besides, the HD2 has come a loonng way since it came out. With the amazing job that people here at XDA are doing, I'm now thinking this phone is 100 times better! I've just flashed my latest ROM after not having an HD2 for a few weeks and everything is so smooth like butter! If I compare my phone now with a stock HD2 it will look like I'm using different phones, it's amazing!

I have to agree, I'm so used to my hd2 that whenever I use my ipod touch, I get frustrated with the size. Especially the keyboard!

ipony4... This makes me giggle.

i love both but i lean more towards the iphone but i lost that a long time ago

pmsl since I posted the 1st post I have just found out that my sister has returned the phone due to keep freezing and locking up and they wont take it back hahaha but she did ask the salesman what other phones would he recommend and he said xperia x10 or the htc hd2 and then she said what phone do you own and he said the HTC HD2..... I rest my case.....
my sister is not impressed !!!! anyone want to buy an iphone4 hahaha

Hilarious, I nearly fell off my chair.
This just about wraps it up.
Like said earlier its all advertising hype. They did a fantastic job selling the "basic" 3GS model & then totally screwed up by trying to step it up a notch.
I think the way iphone's been sold is by having people convinced (without actually saying so) that apple are actually pioneers in the big/touch screens.

completely agreed. all the way. and because of this, some people think its "magical" <--- WTF!

Cut the BS!! You know your getting it!!!!!

Im getting this phone!
Wow no 720p recording.....I want to know the person thats going to hook up their phone to an HD tv and watch captured videos(unless your a stalker thats a diffrent story)
No micro SD slot.......stop putting porn on your phone!!! Thats why google put a real browser with flash on it!! Oh and man 16 gigs isn't good enough on a phone?
No Dual Core!!!!!....Its a phone OS on a 4 inch screen!! are you trying to run a port of PC Crysis on the thing!!(when if honeycomb comes to phones maybe. but thats about a year from now in which I bet another Nexus will be out)
Im getting It and I bet a bunch of nay-sayers will too come Dec. 16.
Who else is cuttin the bull and getting it??

enjoy your nexus emo banana phone

i think youre a little outta control...but im getting it. its an upgrade for me from N1. i never have a phone as long as ive had the N1, im due to get a new toy.
my company pays my bill so i can buy it, and if something drops in a few months that much better, ill buy that then too. its not a big deal.

Sorry as soon as I read the complaints I thought of all the funny things of why people would want those things on their phone =D

I want exclusive updates like i got with my N1 back in the day and more XDA love

Why take **** out when it was already their in the first place
All these missing features were already on galaxy S phones and shouldn't have been removed
BTW i have 16GB on phone and 16GB on my external SD and its combination on nandroid, titanium, ROM back-ups/ custom config files/ Themes /720p MKV/AVI movies/ Gameloftgames/MP3s/PICS/PS2, SNES..ect roms/Sub directories for programs all this crap adds up
....Sorry no porn
Sure you dont need all that stuff on hand but its quite covenant not to have to hook up to PC all the time to move **** back and fourth to make space
But yea i could probably manage fine with 16 GB thats why im still debating on getting it

I for one will buy a Nexus S on the 16th! I can't wait! I can live with all the other "shortfalls" that everyone is complaining about.

You got a good point but I have noticed lately that they have been giving alot of props to apple.
Do you think that they are trying to steer the phone makers in adopting these decisions LIKE taking the sd slot out?
Plus maybe these decisions where in the favor of the google devs. Which means since a dev phone it will be sold the same way.
ORRR even better the budget constraints....all these extra things cost money and Samsung thinking this device is going to be sold to a small market share they pulled all the things that make it a multimedia device out of it...
We may never know but you can explain if you have a better idea.Im open minded i'd like to hear some speculation =D

I would for sure, but I have Sprint

Stop making excuses for Samsung and Google.
This is a Vibrant with a curved screen running on Gingerbread. Nothing more.
I fail to see this as a worthwhile "upgrade".

Im standing up for my self I dont care about making excuses...Ive owned a Vibrant and wish to get stock on it.
Plus SGS phones have faulty GPS and before you even say that they fixed it or even bash me for the excuse. Know that the maps application is a huge part of the Android OS and I would gladly say that I would fork over 550 for one that works and not 500 for one that dosent.

Blahblah. Nexus S is gorgeous. I'm getting it. Lack of Orion and lack of HSPA+ gave me a hard hit to the chest but I'm over that.
I'll be the first person at Best Buy on the 16th.

At first when I saw the lack of HSPA+ i thought about not getting it, but after comparing the speed of my G2 (temporary until Thursday) to my just SOLD nexus one, there was no difference (same 3mb down). It is going to take some good time untill tmobile goes over 7mb ( at least in my area).
I will be second in line after you buddy..

Yeah I live in a HSPA+ area and my friend was comparing his speed to my sisters MT4G and he was laughing at her when his HD2 pulled the same 4megs a sec so im good since its as fast is it will be here...
Ceya on the 16th!!

Galaxy S 3

Just read on Twitter from sammy firm ware that Samsung may release a Galaxy S 3 to compete with the new Iphone 5 in september

Cool! As long as it's better than the SGS II I'll get it.

You are trying to hi-jack another thread when you have been advised to take back your faulty phone in a previous thread.
As stated, others do not have this problem.

i dont think they will release GS3 to compete whit iphone 5... Come on whats the point? GS2 alredy beats iPad 2 browsing benchmark so whats the point off GS3?

Just Marketing guys. I bet that even if sumtin is improved it is just as minot as it can be. Sgs2 is Top notch!

Same here...
Also, SGS II was released on May(in Europe), i dont think they would released SGS III only 5 months later unless its not really the SGS III but a SGS I9102 or SGS I9103 or something like that which would be the same SGS II but with some selected less features to decrease its price, as happened with the SGS and their SGS I9001, I9003 and SCL...
Not to mention that i thought the released of the SGS 3 was announced to 2012(one reason, may be to analyzed Iphone's 5 new features and improve them on the SGS3)...even though they obviously may have changed their mind...

i9103 was already launched, it's the SGS2 with the NVIDIA Tegra processor instead of the Samsung's Exynos of the i9100. The S3 should be i9200.

I'm ditching the 4S for the Galaxy Note

Wish me luck.
It's going to be shipped within 5-6 Business days (maybe earlier)
I've gone android before, but it was the HTC Vivid. Then I switched back to the 4S.
It looks pretty sweet.
From the reviews I've read, it's 1) fast 2) amazing screen --- OH BABY, NETFLIX! 3) a joy to game on
Looks very promising.
The only thing I'm scared of is holding it up to take a call in public LOL

don't be afraid hold your head high and hold the bad boy to your ear, show the world you have real taste in phones and are not part of some apple fan boy flock who will buy anything because it has a i at the start of its name....

Congratulations on your new purchase, and welcome back to Android, we've been expecting you.
Did you not at least go to the store and try one out first, just to make sure it would be the right fit for you and was not too big?
I am sure you will love it. And you have nothing to be afraid of when using the Note in public to make calls, just own it, like a boss.

Congrats! Welcome to the fun side!

I'd really appreciate it if you didn't insult me (I'm grouped into the Apple crowd). Just because someone buys Apple and likes them doesn't automatically mean they are a 'mindless iSheep' or such. I own a Note and an iPhone and love both Android and iOS and couldn't live without either one. I would appreciate it if you weren't so closed minded about OSes and technology (ie. not a blind Android-Fan-Apple-Hater)

i make phone daily....i am proud with my note...i have white hybrid case with it and looks stunning people are asking me what is that gadget i wish it would have 6 inchi screen =)) lol.note is amazing special with stunner rom!

Samsung seriously needs an english speaker: Update - Mr.Bean looking dude wasn't bad.

I love samsung to death because they deserve it bringing year after year, great products. But their speakers are freakin bad. JK Shin had a great speech, I agree but at a snails pace.... And the other chick needs some serious pronunciation lessons. WTF samsung hire some damn speakers. It seriously takes away from the product announcement.

apple will sue the hell outta them before launch. that design is a blatant ripoff of the iphone 6.

I don't even like the design tbh. I'll have to see it in person. This is because Samsung has given me the Note 4, what I consider to be the best looking phone to date.
ps - oh wow a new lady speaker that also needs help... she looks like some male warrior. cmon samsung cmon....
