IPhone 5 (IPhone 4s)
well enjoy being ripped off by Apple they just love people like you they would not be were they are today if they were not people like you.
I just hate people being bum fucked by Apple they have done it for fucking years, when I was buying fucking Power Macs at work 10 years ago, I was being raped dry.

At least when apple update software, the older phones can run it too. Does that happen with android? Or does it depend which of the many versions of android you might have?
Genuine question. Try not to keep up the irate postings.
i'm just waiting for the call to upgrade when my current contract runs out in about 7 months 
my 3gs is fine and dandy for me to use and for just another camera on the front, i don't need anything else
plus tesco will give me a 1g, 1000 texts, 1000 minutes 30 day rolling contract for Ł15 as that's what they've offered my mrs (she's currently on a Ł10, 30 day 500mb, 500 text, 500 min deal) so i can always counter that argument
just wondering if the 5 will be out by then and i'll be able to "brag" about having the coolest thing on the planet

my issue with the many smart phones that are on the market is this:
the iphone is well known and for every little issue there is with it, there are an amry of nerds who will explain, in high nerd, how to fix them
with everything else, i'm not even sure what the numbers mean if i'm honest, a sansung thingy or a htc whatever or a thingyamywotsit don't seem to have the same sort of public knowledge or what goes wrong and what doesn't
and therefore it's an even more difficult minefield to negotiate when trying to figure out what might go wrong, what may have gone wrong, what other peole have had go wrong and all that
it's fine if you want to buy a car and the drivers choice would be a bmw m3 csl, but i'd be fine driving a little fiesta if all i wanted to do was go from a to b

It's a fairly decent spec upgrade really. Screen can't really be improved without getting bigger, processor and memory upgrades are substantial, and better battery life. What more could you actually need?

Android is Android Dojj, each manufacture add there own bits, but its still like adding their own app.
you can just format any Android phone to basic Android at any time, so its completely open.
Hook, line and sinker!
The comment about dropping calls all the time, and the silly comment about ifart, or whatever you called it are just two for a start. Then there's the fact that you bang on about how the rivals are all sooooooo much better - when in reality, they're all much of a muchness, with very similar performances just with different offerings.
The only thing you're partially right is that technically they're overpriced - But some people are prepared to pay a premium for a phone that works like an iPhone does. For many people, it's not fashion, it's not to show off, but it's just because we prefer it.
So stick that up your Android shaped bum-hole and smoke it!

Agreed...
and you can sell you IPhone for a good price and upgrade.
Which is EXACTLY the problem with it. Android is like Jazz music - Everyone adds their own instrument regardless of what everyone else is playing, so it sounds shit. The individual performances may be good, but as a collective, it's a bit awkward, and well, not as good as the iPhone's symphony orchestra.

I read it, but can you not see that the slower quarter is because people have been holding back waiting for the latest iPhone? I know so many people who have put off their upgrade until the 'announcement'. Sales will soar once more and the competitors will weep into their clumsily designed iClones.
I took a gamble, and bought a 4, and I'm glad I did. The iOS5 will make it feel like a new phone anyway - and while I think the upgrades on the 4S are pretty cool, I can wait until my contract runs out without feeling like I wished I waited.

Agreed my Ibum friend, but that will not account for Androids almost 50% of the smart phone market, Apple will increase their market share next quarter, but will still fucking struggle. Apple will be putting everything into the Iphone 5 to gain it back.
Don't disagree with that, nor do I ultimately care if Android consumes even more of the market - I've not got any shares in Apple (They're already had more than enough of my money)!
The more users = more apps and handsets, which = more choice and more development.
If the IPhone5 does not pull off a phone which does not drop and call and even gives you a blowjob to completion and everything in the middle, being a Apple fan boy you will have what will be the Nokia 5110 of 2014.

JohnnyB How much are the plasticky android phones worth after two years? Half as much as the equivalent iphone?
Not overpriced really are they? ( if it was a BMW you'd be saying how brilliant it was that it was expensive to begin with and holds its price better )
Iphone = Porsche/BMW Android = VauxhallAstra VXR ( does the same job but a bit plasticky and if it makes it to two years old without falling to bits its worth fuck all )
And no way is any android device as simple and easy to use as IOS - IOS as a touch interface for the non geek is unbeatable

S2's are holding their price big time my friend!
I know what you are saying, well built phone will always hold it's price, you will still have shit crap android phones on the market, but like the S2 you will have the AMG of the range you can make your choice.

No i asked because i seems odd that someone would worry about what a phone is worth after 2 years? a house yes a phone no

And i dont worry about what my car would be worth and you would never see me mention it either if i buy something like a car/phone etc its because i want to use it not an investment
what i also dont get is your dead against plastic phones that are worth fuck all after a few years yet you own a skoda?
maybe swop some logic over from the phones to the cars or?

Actually get them both in your hand and get novices to use them
We've just kitted out our sales team at work with Iphones after 3 months of evaluation on android/IOS/Windows Mobile Devices
NO competion for the guys, they LOVED IOS as it was so easy and user friendly

go check the residuals on a Skoda Octavia VRS then go check the waiting lists at the dealers. You're talking pure bullshit mate and its a bit stupid on a thread about phones
I care like most other people because i want my cash to go as far as possible and get the best i can for the least i can

i mean from your theory then surely no one would ever buy a skoda? cheap and worth fuck all
Its just words on a page u can quote all the bullshit reveiws you like, all the ones telling me android has 24gmhbx more processing power and a 45 squig camera schlong, but at the end of the day its what matters when its in my hand or showing someone how to use it

Did you test the HTC sensation?
Its a massive improvement to Android, I suggested it to my builder who played with his wife's Iphone4 and did not get along with it and being a person who had a old nokia before, I thought he would struggle with the HTC, but he loves it. take that how you will
My quote is from the BBC tech editor, so it will have quite some clout!
waiting lists has what to do with anything? i had to wait to get my S1 and if i had oredered the new S2 when it first came out i would have had to wait again so once again there goes your theory?
yes its about phones but why would you care more about a phone then your car
i mean from your theory then surely no one would ever buy a skoda? cheap and worth fuck all
yes its about phones but why would you care more about a phone then your car
i mean from your theory then surely no one would ever buy a skoda? cheap and worth fuck allMuch better residuals than you think
Anyway I care about the residuals of the phone as because i'm not utterly retarded it helps me work out the cost of ownership over the contract to compare to the other ones I could buy....I know that seems way out there to you but its perfectly normal to 99% of people who spend money on something

Also we are doing an eval on ipads and other tablets currently, including the samsung one that was the subject of the court order.
Looks like the ipad will win too, and in all honesty, I fucking hate MACs but they are so nice to hold/use and learn
The android market will change in the medium term now that they have motorolla as a hardware partner, it seems as tho major software houses are aligning themselves (partering or buying ) with hardware suppliers to take on Apple
Android/Motorolla Nokia/Microsoft Apple/Apple Dont really see where Samsung and HTC fit in
Samsung also rely on Apple to purchase components so that in turn they can produce their own components for their own phones at a competitive price ( economies of scale ) if Apple start sourcing hardware elsewhere, or making in house then Samsung will be doubly fucked as they dont have a native OS either
Theres still a waiting list and its not new, so hardly shit it is it
Much better residuals than you think
and 3rd in the JD Power for satisfaction with the Number 1 slot for dealers. Hardly a shit car

your skoda was 3rd
the S2 is first with techradar and not worth fuckall either after ownership, so thats your total theory blown straight out of the water

I actually wanted to get away from the apple device as some things annoy me, trouble is I realised the good far out weighs the bad. It's such a slick device and so nicely built/finished, all the other wanna'be phones are poor feeling. And whole UI on the sensation was over egg'd, battery was much worse than the iphone, screen was almost unusable outside and it felt really fragile and cheap. I also had more crashes in 12 days than 3 years of iphones. I found it very frustrating trying to navigate or find things on the htc, no simple order to things.
I just don't get why some people find they need to make it their mission to slate the iphone, it's an amazing device really, nothing comes close out there. The design, software engineering and hardware quality are second to none. I just don't see how someone could hold a sensation and play with it, then play with an iphone4 and say the iphone was crap. Just turning the htc from landscape to portrait was almost enough to pi55 me off enough to kick it up in the air
We did and it was better than the other android devices but still lost out

Hmmm
Android is free(google says always will be free), so I cannot see Motorlla taking over the world, it will be which is the best built/featured handset which will win.
It has to be free as google does not own all of Android, I cannot see google having the morals of apple as apple have always had the morals of a Somalian terrorist
