Re: Let's Talk Phones

If I handed you my phone right now, you'd agree its better than an iphone after 30 seconds of using it. I haven't met one person who hasn't thought so.

On paper you can write whatever you want. I bet you've only owned an iPhone and nothing else. Its like bench racing cars that you haven't driven.

DRIVE THE CAR FIRST. .

Apple has huge profit margin but not a huge market share. Google is the fastest growing. If I didn't have a BB from work I would have an android phone in a heartbeat.

I used the torch for a bit - I have a storm and I don't type a lot so the pop out keyboard is just extra weight. And frankly the torch screen keypad is very iphonish and works well. I bet a lot of people won't bother using the pull out keyboard.

I'm really anxious to hear about the new Windows phones since it's a total rewrite from scratch. Sounds like they took no crap from the carriers this time so they could design how they want (ala Apple).

I would have loved to have an iphone in the waiting rooms though, the games kill (haven't seen how many are avail on the android). Blackberry I have... chess. I've very good at chess now.

Re: Let's Talk Phones

Lovin' my BB's (had all of them except for the blue bricks, worst was the pearl, best so far is the new bold 9700 for software and functions). Will not be jumping on the Apple bandwagon ever.

Anyone tried any of HTC's new stuff? I had an old HTC and I liked it but was a little finicky at the time, would love to give them another whirl.

I too have had almost every iteration of the BB. I still have a vintage 850 from 1999. Currently have both a Storm2 and Bold 9700.

I would like to get my hands on the iPhone 4 or a new HTC as being the go to IT guy I always get questions on phone email setup with our network. I don't really care what hardware or OS people run just as long as they RTFM and don't expect the phone to do something it wasn't designed to do.

there is zero cohesion in your logic.

me caring, has zero to do with him exercising his 1337dom in that thread.

in fact, the 1337 leads to a lot of buildup about the phone.

Re: Let's Talk Phones

I'd say the only thing that kills me about the iphone is trying to put movies/shows on it, converting them is a pain in the but. Can other phones like say an HTC run other file formats?

The extra time to convert the video file is for your benefit and confused as a proprietary apple decision. The reason is the conversion resizes the file so more can fit in your device. Also, the QuickTime mp4 format is far more effecient and great for motion video then other video codecs.

If u went with an android or windows phone, you will be able to play more video formats, but have less space and control.

Also, if you u jailbreak the iPhone, you can play any video format if u wish.

I'm never wrong. Sorry, it was a dick move on his part. And I could care less about dicks, no matter what kind of phone a little IT guy thinks is rawesome.

Re: Let's Talk Phones

I've gone back and forth with many versions of each..
(Pearl, Some HTC touch screen, Pearl, Iphone, curve, Iphone 3G, Bold 9700, Iphone 4)

Heres my feeling: (Of a pretty basic business user, not 1337 haxor)

Aesthetics:
Iphone... without question.

Typing:
I can type faster on the Iphone, but more accurate with the BB

Email:
I dont notice much difference between the two.

Games:
Iphone hands down. Angry Birds!!

Other programs:
Iphone hands down (Although BB is making a small push, but their BB store is weak in comparison)
The ONLY BB program I wish my Iphone had was BBM.... I know you can get Whats App, but you have to get everyone to download it.

I'll be the first to admit the iPhone is far from the 'perfect' phone, but so far the closest thing Ive seen.

THIS IS ALL TRUE. There is a better format for AVI called CineForm, but it's PC only to my knowledge.
