Mobile phone recommendations for a festival...

[AcademicPistol]

I like smartphones. I like slagging off iPhones. I'm brand specific intentionally

So what's your problem with innovative technology?

care to tell me what Apple have ever done that's been innovative?

They're much the same as Microsoft, re-packaging the ideas of others under their own name.

Care to tell me what they have stolen from others and repackaged as their own? in terms of the aforementioned iPhone.

the phone part if nothing else.

And it's far crapper as a phone than those they stole the phone idea from.

Battery, apple producs have always been w*nk with battery and thats my beef with the iphone, ipod. Although I have htc desire hd and thats even worse.

Another think I hate about apple is the portable speakers you can buy and you try to get a portable speaker system that charges anything other than apple products. Are apple products the best? no there just full of hype and give me creative products anytime.

Isn't the iPhone processor actually made by Samsung?

[thetime]

Not ALL their products are the best no. But in terms of the iPhone as you've said the battery isn't great but it's better than some other smartphone but then again it depends what you doing with the device and my battery on the iPhone 4gs is adequate considering all the work it does.

[kaosmark2]

what other shit is innovative about it?

[AcademicPistol]

It's white and shiny and has a magical charm on it that turns every single person who buys one into a gibberring fanboi who takes their phone too seriously?

[AcademicPistol]

one would suggest that the major stuff the iphone could do wasnt

oh boy they have brainwashed you boy!!

what other shit is innovative about it?

[kaosmark2]

By that I think you mean a touch screen phone it's a bit different.

[thetime]

there hasn't been a phone that has come close to being as good as it in years.

Nope. I don't like the system that means once you've got an Apple product it's very difficult to switch to an alternative. Particularly as I hate iTunes software.

It's a top-of-the-range smartphone. I'm not saying it's shit. But unlike others of equivalent quality, people that own iPhones are usually a bit fanatic about the superiority of the iPhone.

[AcademicPistol]

Thats not the argument though, its whats innotive about it and you have not come up with a good argument yet. I can think of one, if you touched the side of the iphone 4 you would lose the signal....great design and technology.

[kaosmark2]

I like iTunes its easy to use and if you have a mac (don't like viruses ) and iPhone it works seamlessly together which I like I also like the way their products look and therefore don't have the need to switch to an alternative but everyone it different it works for me and everyone else that has given in to it. Having the genius (an apple joke for you ) Steve Jobs at the helm did a lot for them without him who knows what could happen.

[AcademicPistol]

Macs aren't the only way to avoid getting viruses

[kaosmark2]

I say fan, you say boi!

[thetime]

Like I said just read up on them I don't need to tell you what's innovative about them.

[AcademicPistol]

cop out!

It's not a case of being a fanboy or brainwashed it's just a device that is relevant to my needs.

[AcademicPistol]

Never seen that Apple advert actually don't think I've ever seen an Apple advert, they rarely advertise and out sell their contemporaries just because it's a good phone.

Don't see the point of rebelling for the sake of rebelling.
