Anyone with a modicum of googling abilities knows that ipod touch and iphone have literally the same exact os. After owning an ipod touch for 2+ years, I think I have a pretty good idea of what the os is like. After messing with my new phone and android, I don't think it's far fetched to be able to make a comparison. Stop being an idiot and pissed off because no one bought a crappy Windows phone.

There's another useful app that sends texts from phone to tablet via Bluetooth so you don't have to keep putting down the tablet and pick up the phone to text...the name escapes me at the moment...Tablet Talk? I think?

I think G may have already named one but just in case...

Normally I'd agree with you, but the Nexus 4 is a sufficient leap forward even over the Galaxy that it just might be worth returning the Galaxy and waiting. Besides, you don't want to devastate Andrex  :uguu  do you?

Post by: Himu on November 01, 2012, 02:13:56 AM
Hmmm. Good point. I've got 30 days to return it so I'll keep it for now and then get the Nexus 4 when it drops.

You might also want to think about insurance too, at least for the first year when retail price is still high...I know some people don't like insurance but a short duration is worth the price plus your carrier will usually overnight the replacement. FYI, the deductible can run as high as $100  (thus the suggestion of 1 year max for insurance).

I had an iPod Touch, and thought it would be no different than using an iPhone. It turns out that having access to web services anywhere and everywhere makes a big difference, as does a built-in mic, and a vastly superior camera (or /a/ camera, depending on which Touch you had).

I started off with an iPod Touch, too, and agree.  Especially now...if the iPod Touch himu had wasn't at least the equivalent of an iPhone 4S, then LOL.
Title: Re: GOT MY FIRST SMARTPHONE
Post by: Himu on November 01, 2012, 12:46:58 PM
Pretty much all of the shit I'm talking about are based around the ui, which the addition of cameras and mic (my ipod had a camera) makes negligible. It's the small shit like being able to simply click my open apps button and swipe shit out. On iphone doing the same thing requires double tapping on the home button, holding the app's thumbnail and then swiping. Closing apps on the current android os is faster and far more intuitive and that's just a basic feature.

Having a fully customizable space, widgets, instant installation from store, and more are basic stuff that makes the experience simply more enjoyable than ios. Many features and gestures on ios are outdated and require too much effort to do simple tasks.

But noooo, you need a camera and a mic to make an actual critique. Fuck off.

Himumu, I'm glad you're enjoying your new phone.

I tried using an Android phone a couple times in the past few days; my friend's mom was having trouble connecting to the wifi network, so I thought I KNOW TECHNOLOGY STUFFS, and tried to give her a hand. I couldn't find the Settings at first, then when I did, it only showed one option to set. Turns out it had been left in some burrowed-down menu, but I couldn't tell it from just looking at it. I eventually figured it out, but I was pretty frustrated trying to use this thing, which is supposedly as intuitive as iOS. It wasn't, for me.
Title: Re: GOT MY FIRST SMARTPHONE

Older Android os' are pretty bad, I agree and I was never impressed by it. But Ice Cream Sandwich (god I feel like a cunt just TYPING THIS) and up are pretty damn clean and intuitive.

Just remember, you ever need anything done, and I mean anything, you know where to gift Steam games to.

Also what happened to Edge?  :(

It lost it's edge (so to speak) I'd been meaning for a while to pester an admin into removing it.

I left the US with the Nexus 4 still out of stock at google play. A few days before my trip my roommate bought it from someone on Craigslist, he seems to love it a lot sans the weak battery life. With rumors of the Samsung S4 just around the corner I'm wondering if I should wait for that. I really dug the S3, except for the disgusting manufacturer/carrier bloat of course.

For those more knowledgeable in androids, is it better to get the latest google phone or the latest high end device (the next Galaxy, for instance), root it, then install a stock OS? I'm really picky when it comes to phones, I hate regularly upgrading my phones. I tend to buy a solid choice and stick with it until it completely dies.

Weaker than the S3, according to my roommate. He upgraded from the S3 to the N4, and doesn't have any regrets beside the battery.

My smartphone history was the T-mobile Dash 3G -> T-mobile G1 -> Pixi Plus (WebOS)

I'm getting closer and closer to having a great phone. I hated android on the G1 but I'm sure its a ton better now. I really like WebOS, it makes me wish the ecosystem took off. It has a nice podcast catcher and player though which is all I really need.

You pin albums, playlists, songs, etc. to be offline selectively. It updates automatically so if you add a new song via the web interface to a pinned playlist, it'll be downloaded fairly instantly (like installing apps from the web.)

I got my first mobile phone a couple of months ago, a HTC Sensation XE.  It's not the latest but had the combo of features I was after.

Any better browser than Dolphin?  I tried all the major ones and they all seemed to suck for tabbed browsing, Dolphin has been doing the trick.  And it has those plugins which are useful I guess.

I actually love my phone still. Android is superior in terms of hw and UI and I'm going to miss it. But ultimately feel like those are less important to me than apps. I like apps a lot and the iPhone does a serviceable job of smart phones while having a premiere smartphone app roll out. On the other hand, the android phones have superior feature set but have a god awful store. Both are completely imperfect and I'd rather have apps than features I don't use such as Google Now or that personalized  google page.
