Fuck the apple haters especially you ehealth. All the android devices copied things from iOS when they first came out. I am quite excited for this.

Do you know what you're talking about.


rhetorical question. You don't.

Android has been ahead of the iphone since day 1 and will be for years to come.

Hahah okay man, maybe you should stop the apple brainwash and actually read through that features list and realize the only thing they did that is sort of cool is the notification thing and its a complete rip off of android. Everything else listed is a stupid fucking gimmick that you're falling into.


and jamie, lol. ill take my driod over iphones until the iphone is actually up to par with android.

Yah man I have been waiting for a notification bar forever...oh wait like the first ever Android phone had that shit.

And you can access the camera from the lock screen...holy shit the time I will save!

Oh holy shit I forgot about a calender...A FUCKING CALENDER!!! So revolutionary.

And OH EM GE they ENHANCED the photo enhancements so I can make pretty pictures on my phone.

Oh but how could I forget integrating Twitter. God they are geniuses. Man I love it when my phone comes pre loaded with shit I don't need. How about they just load everything on there and fuck apps just delete the shit you don't need.

Go to the link I posted, read the chart, go get the HTC Thunderbolt, then come back and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

More of a sweet taste.

For the record I played around with the iPhone 4 and actually liked it. But I just don't think this new iOS 5 is anything to write home about and just seems like Android with an Apple logo on it so people will consider it some revolutionary phone bullshit just because Apple did it.

I am trying to educate the ignorant Apple masses on their other phone options.

i don't hate apple by any means. I've got a macbook and probably won't go back to PC, but there's so many reasons wh the android trumps the iphone. I guess people just like the iphone so much because it's "pretty".

To be honest, I don't think I'll upgrade to the iOS 5. I like mine the way it is, plus it's jailbroken which is SO much better. ;)

Apple faggots do tend to like apple just because of the logo, and for the record my only apple product is my iPhone. I'm not a big fan of apple OS' as far as computers go; i've grown up with Windows and I don't feel like switching.

For sure.

When I am eligible for an upgrade from Verizon in like a year for a new phone I will defiantly consider getting the newest iPhone if its better than any Android phone on the market.

You guys are all fucking morons. People are going to buy whatever phone THEY want, regardless of your shitty opinions. If they want an iPhone because they think its pretty fine. If they want an android, fine. Who the fuck cares, its a phone, its their choice, it has no affect on you.

In defense of apple...

I've had an android phone for 2 months. It's one of the best 3g phones offered by tmobile. I had a jailbroken iphone for a solid 2 years before that.

I would switch back right now if I didn't need the 3g tethering/browser access to update websites when I'm out and about. The moment I can have an Iphone with Tmobile or it happens that the iphone5 can be used with the 3g or 4g tmobile signal when jailbroken, I will switch back.

I'm massively unsatisfied with android.

For being a $400 phone, apps freeze constantly and need to force close. The phone likes to turn to a black screen and just show the call/contacts buttons and nothing else and the only way to fix it is to take out the battery. They keyboard/text input is really frustrating. I've tried 3 now and none of them work as well as the Iphone's. My contacts take forever to load. The notifications are really annoying and when I get a new text it just says new text message and always disappears and I have to close the window, go to text messages and then open it. Then it likes to open it in the middle of the conversation causing me to have to scroll to find the newest message. I hit the middle button way to often by accident and display all the apps causing me to open up random apps and then have to close them. I hate that screen. I want it to not exist. As a phone that is the same price as an Iphone, the 5mp camera doesn't take as nice of pictures. I hate that the notification light blinks constantly when the battery gets below 15%. The battery life isn't as good. The ringer volume on the alarm blows. I have tried every combination and it needs to be right by my head to be annoying enough to wake me up from a nap.

Side note. My friend that works for google voice says there are as many iphones there as there are android phones. I thought that was funny.

another thing that makes the iphone better is that the iphone is so much easier to use... also being able to sync it to ITUNES and make it universal with my ipad and computer makes it much better, also nobodys mentioned genius...

Yep. I'm pretty stoked on the wireless updates. It's always annoying to look for the cord. The iPhone's simplicity is what sells.

And android syncs with all my google stuff which isn't tied to hardware.

Apple announced their cloud today? I have google music with 8000 songs synced to my phone and more being uploaded constantly. accessible on nearly any device.

Aesthetically, the layout of iOS is muuuch better than android. Of course they're are some neat features with android but id take an iPhone anyday.
