Title: Smartphones
Post by: daliq on February 28, 2011, 08:58:23 PM
ait.. Android, IOS, Win Phone 7

Droid run 'tings, Iphone/WinP 7 not true Multitasking & WinP 7 expecting market gain of up to bout 9% by end year, then why go WinP 7?, Zune/Xbox/Tile whatever the F.
New phones poopin every Moon... Apple with the iPhone 5 with that so called Aeronautic Gorilla Gla**  & some.

Been using Windows since ver. CE way back, Psion series of palmtops, HP Palmtops, HP Gfx Graphing Calcs, Symbian OS (Sony/Ericsson), Palm Organizers, iPhone (jail$) etc. RIM ('berry strong for business), WinP 7 Office Exchange integration, Droid with Google Apps etc.
HP bought palm i think and now coming with their own OS. , Samsung Galaxy Tab killaH already released.
Acer dropping Netbooks, DON'T cop netbooks.
Motorola flipped since the flip phones they had and got the Zoom sumn and Smartphone.
Ipad Us economy not friendly tied, dual touch screen notebooks, & that list will proceed to get that $ or R, digg

Motorola Atrix 4G / HTC Desire HD2 / HTC EVO 4G / HTC Inspire 4G / iPhone5 no berries or if you hardcore Enterprise Server Business cat..

did the 'ini mini mini' stint and believe it or not, ........wait for it ,
 it landed on the HTC Desire HD Droid smartphone...
busy rooting the phone to get into this Linux kernel and install custom ROMS that supercede the stock phone offerings...
Overclocking the CPU you name it.

it's got a ma**ive 4.3" S-LCD (S-Super) screen
the nxt time at the local pub while diggin'for my ciggies this will be hauled out and unscrupulously devour any iPhone shine (3.5" Retina Display-aai, these marketing gimmicky stuff also)

Hope I don brick the device...bye bye 'Vensters' I mean Windows & 'em.. This is the Flagship 'wide open like that US tennis scene', the models after this are factory locked to any kind of modifications... This  year the R Monsters with Dual Core CPUz, Dedicated Graphics GPUz and HDMi u name it..

the Gz at Google in the US run tings there, it's on

HTC firmware and Android  kernel versions on these phones got chained to some extent.
Jail-braking it brings unwanted artifacts back into your ROM, unless you die hard Unix/Linux script guy and work your way round with the SDK.
There's new features and most of the time the Camera, Gyroscopes & sensors etc start buggin..

All Nokia has been doing for the past two or three years is play catch-up. And they're not very skilled at the game either.

I hear that. I would not get a Nokia, WIndows or even BlackBerry phone at this stage of the game.

Dude, Blackberry has me hooked.

They're not big on the crazy specs and shit, but over here in SA they're the way to go cos of the lack of unlimited data plans and the high cost per Mb for data. I'm paying about R600 less per month since I switched to BB.

Its also one of the most user-friendly phones ever. Not the or the HTC had me this hooked to my phone ever and I have had several HTCs and an iPhone.

My current work phone is an HTC, but I still use the Crackberry as my private phone. Waiting for them to drop the long-rumoured 1,6 Ghz dual core Storm. Then I'll upgrade. Otherwise I'll just get the new Bold.

imo BB don't really innovate on the hardware, UI or software fronts. Only thing they have going for them is BBM. Apps like WhatsApp are mimicing that functionality across platforms anyway so BB got nothing.

true indeed...
even if whatsapp isnt trully free in the actual sense of the word, it is still an exponentially cheaper alternative to sms, and the fact that it is not limited to one platform alone gives it the edge in terms of broader reach. blackberry had a good idea initially, and for a short while, they managed to push units soley based on the bbm infrastructure they were promoting, but now that there are a wider range of applications that offer a similar and in the case of whatsapp...more advanced application, they are bound to see their sales wain. especially because they have NOTHING else to offer, besides the free on device internet browsing package, which can easily be offset by getting the cell c once

personally...i believe android is the future of smartphones. i currently own a sony ericson xperia x10. i am eagerly waiting for the galaxy sII to drop and then i will be the happiest dude ever

i just hope it comes in at a decent price

It shouldn't be too bad, but just know that you'll be spending a shitload on data when you're on prepaid without a data bundle.

I'm ditching the BB soon. The 9900 is the biggest piece of shit I have ever owned and RIM's douchebaggery have made me give up on the company. They can go f*** themselves.

Deciding if I should get the S3 or wait to see what the iPhone 5 offers.

Waiting for the iPhone 5...

Having now had 2 iPhones I think it's time I check out an android phone. Simply for the experience - unless if iPhone software releases blows my socks off over the next few months. Changing from one iPhone to the next doesn't mean much in terms of user experience, and the release of new features is so slow and gradual that I really wasn't missing out on much when I was using a 3GS. I guess having the software backwards compatible also adds to that since I was running the same software as those with a 4S, minus Siri (which is useless in this country anyway) and a few other select features. Plus the fact that the handsets haven't changed much between versions. The camera and the display on the 4S is much better than that on the 3GS though. I'll give them that. But the prospect of something like that doesn't warrant a wait for the next iPhone for me.

RIM stays losing though. Hard.
