    iPhone vs Android

    Someone stole our iphone from my wife's purse at her work, so we need a new phone.

    I had a 3GS.

    Should I get another iPhone or something Android based? What are the best android phones? Is there a new one coming out soon?

      The S2 is the best Android, which the iPhone 5 will be released to compete against.

      Android:

      Open source.
      Way more available customization options
      Widgets
      More available phones, some with larger screen sizes
      More available plans, networks
      Free apps
      Windows filesystem, (I HATE itunes)

      iOS
      Way more security in 3rd party applications, (unless you jailbreak).
      Highest resolution display
      Most battery life
      Slimmest
      Most available total apps
      Most fluid OS.

      Toss up.

        Had an iPhone, switched to Sprint HTC Evo. Phone is ok... hate Sprint, so gonna switch back to AT&T once they get the Samsung Galaxy S2, next week I think.

        Wife and all the kids all have iPhones... they love them. I like Android better.

                    I switched from 3GS to Samsung Galaxy S2 little over a month ago.

                    What an amazing difference. I can't beleive how ancient the iPhone feels compared to this new Android device.

                    Go with the S2 as already recommended several times here.

                        I don't see how this is a benefit.
                        You may see the benefit the first time you need something that isn't in the app store. Sure, you can hire someone to write something. iPhone developers are generally script kiddies, much like Flash developers. (iPhones didn't even come out until what, 2003?)

                        If I needed an app to control the gas valves on my moonshine still (*boom*) or what not, I'd probably look elsewhere. Someone with 20-30 years of experience in my opinion isn't going to corner themselves into a platform that is proprietary.

                        Baby-shake away.

                          yep.

                                Why not track down the iPhone and get it back? Fuck the person who took it right in the ass.

                                I own nothing but Apple computers, but no iPod, iPhone or iPad. Android ftw!

                                Spend you some brain.

                                        iPhone was #1 back in the day, no doubt.

                                        IMO, you'd be crazy to buy one in today's market though. Way too many cool phones out there and the Android OS just keeps getting better.

                                        Especially if you have any kind of tech background/knowledge - Android is the clear choice.

                                                  I have the Android X from Motorola. Love it. Huge fucking screen, does everything I need. I run ALL of my pop3 through Gmail, and the Android phone runs Gmail perfectly.

                                                  At this point, a phone is a phone - they all do the same things.

                                                      Since she probably needs a new phone sooner rather than later, the HTC Evo 3D is pretty sweet.

                                                      Personally, I'm waiting to upgrade to the iPhone 5.

                                                        Thanks for all the info, I'm going to Mexico for a month in a few days, so I'll probably wait until I come back. Apparently her brother has an old iphone there we can have, but he says it's "locked" I guess to a carrier there.. So I'm assuming that's what "unlocking" is actually for.

                                                        I think I'll end up with an S2, but waiting to see the iphone 5 will be an advantage either way.. There will be teenagers who spent $600 on an S2 and then decided to go iPhone 5 and sell their slightly used S2's. I haven't had a contract in like 12 years, don't think I should start now.

                                                          I don't see how this is a benefit. If anything this is a hindrance, I'd rather use software that a company stands behind than an open source alternative.



                                                          Yes because they can't bother thinking things through so they present you with a smorgasbord of options you don't really need.

                                                            What carrier have you been with? Honestly, if you're going to be with the same carrier for 2 years regardless you can save a lot of money. iPhone 5/S2 will likely be $200 with a 2 year agreement, if you have to cancel and pay the early termination fee it probably won't be more than the difference to buy a new iP5/S2 without a contract.

                                                                If you use a iphone, most likely you will hate the droid os, it's a pile of shit.

                                                                So many things work different or not as good. I'm currently on a droid because I wanted 4g, so i'm stuck unless I want to give up the speed.

                                                                        Google says "here's a ton of cool shit for YOUR phone. Do whatever you want with it, but here are some of the cool things you can do."

                                                                        Of course Steve Jobs has a suggestion:
                                                                        "People who want to see stuff like that [porn] should get an Android phone." - Steve Jobs

                                                                        Google, HTC, and the other companies that work with Android haven't commented about what content you view because they think it's YOUR phone to use however you see fit.

                                                                        Some people really like Apple's box. I prefer not to be stuck in a box. For example, hardware. With Apple, there's one hardware choice, take it or leave it. With Android, there are hundreds of options for hardware. You can choose one with a faster processor, more memory, lower price, brighter screen, whatever you want. Apple - you get the processor they say, the screen they say, etc. Some people like Apple's choices or still feel that's the "in" thing. Others like the freedom to choose.

                                                                        Originally posted by pornopete

I suppose you'd never use Wordpress because it's open source so rather than one company behind it there are thousands of Wordpress programmers ready to serve your needs. That's cool. SOMEBODY has to keep buying FrontPage. I think Windows are good places to through Front Page out of. Different strokes for different folks.

                                                                                Google says "here's a ton of cool shit for YOUR phone. Do whatever you want with it, but here are some of the cool things you can do."

                                                                                Of course Steve Jobs has a suggestion:
                                                                                "People who want to see stuff like that [porn] should get an Android phone." - Steve Jobs

                                                                                Google, HTC, and the other companies that work with Android haven't commented about what content you view because they think it's YOUR phone to use however you see fit.

                                                                                Some people really like Apple's box. I prefer not to be stuck in a box. For example, hardware. With Apple, there's one hardware choice, take it or leave it. With Android, there are hundreds of options for hardware. You can choose one with a faster processor, more memory, lower price, brighter screen, whatever you want. Apple - you get the processor they say, the screen they say, etc. Some people like Apple's choices or still feel that's the "in" thing. Others like the freedom to choose.



                                                                                And to your mind Google and HTC don't qualify as companies.

When I showed any of them my Droid Bionic, which is arguably the most intense cell phone to be released so far, they couldn't be bothered to even look at it -- even if they have an iPhone 3. It's like nothing else even exists.

                                                                                That's what pisses me off about them. I've spent some time with iPhones, I know what they can do, etc but I choose Android (because of the diversity).

                                                                                iPhone people are just like "iPhone...duh...durka durka. iPhone does this...look." -- not realizing that every Android phone does the same shit, and probably better in most cases.

                                                                                When I went into the Verizon store to get my Bionic, the sales guy tried to get me to wait for the iPhone 5, because he's one of those people. He showed me this video...



                                                                                ---not realizing the technology is years away, and that the video is just a concept by some Mac fanboy dreamer. So it's fake. Facepalm.

                                                                                I got my sister in law Klipsch $350 earbuds as a Christmas present. She still uses the stupid white crap iPod headphones(BTW, those things are the skateboard of earbuds). She gave the Klipsch earbuds to her boyfriend, who uses them as his "backup" headphones(he also uses the white iPod earbuds). This is the mentality of those zombies. They would rather listen to shit earbuds, but make sure everyone knows they're one of the cool people. It would be the worst thing for someone to see them with black earbuds.

                                                                                If you're an Apple freak and don't think like this, excuse me -- but most of you are fucking sheep.

                                                                                To the original poster, don't be one of those sheep.
