Please, tell me why you change your HTC to iPhone?

Please, tell me why you change your HTC to iPhone?

I didnt like the whole fragmentation problem, the phone is about 6 months old, yet still being sold now, and theres apps that wont run on it already like Google Goggles.

So it feels like a discontinued phone already, the actual phone and OS was nice, but not quite as polished as the iPhone.

I know it will likely get OS 2.1 but, what about when 2.X comes out in a few months, the phone will be back in the same position.

Its a mess and until Google/HTC and others sort it out, I will leave Android well alone. As imagine how useless it will be in 2 years.

First I had something like this from Samsung.

Then something like this from Samsung again.

Then a Samsung 707SC. Yes again samsung.

Then this chunky Sharp 811SH. Horrible phone

Then this great, and cheap Toshiba 912T that had everything.... Such a good little phone. I had the silvery gold one

then I decided to try andriod.

but ended up with
The wonderful iPhone 3G [refurb]. I love it to bits.

Heh, this was my first phone when I was freshman in high school, prepaid with free weekends:
Siemens a56

Then Nokia 3588i

Then the Sanyo 8100

And then the Sanyo 8300

And thennnn I got the Samsung A900

Then I got into the world of smartphones with the HTC Mogul

A month later I got the HTC Touch

Somewhere down the line I bought one of these and cloned it as a side phone for my Touch, Samsung M510

Then I wanted to leave WinMo for a lil bit and got the Instinct (WORSE. DECISION. EVER.)

Thennnnnnnn I got the HTC Hero and I love it.

Well before I just posted a stock photo and sometimes people actually enjoy seeing a phone in real life. Here are 3 pictures of my Droid. I have a clear case on it that I got from Verizon.

 

[skinniezinho]

[Theclamshell]

HTC droid. I love it my first nice phone

 

[dankybear]

that clear case on the droid is annoying for me, does it get in the way of typing?

Wanting a Vertu

 

[copykris]

you had some 30 phones in 6+ years?

okay...

 

[dukebound85]

Ditched the BlackBerry, went prepaid ... Samsung Slash

in your experience, are you finding prepaid to be alot cheaper?

 

[bmwman3241]

you had some 30 phones in 6+ years?

okay...

I guess soo...

 

[dukebound85]

I guess soo...

and paid full price for like most of them as theres only like 3 periods of which you were upgrade eligible

 

[bmwman3241]

and paid full price for like most of them as theres only like 3 periods of which you were upgrade eligible

All were bought full price except maybe 5, which were upgrades or from the service provider themselves. Most are import phones which usually run $500+, mostly $750+.

Most I bought in 1 day were:
Samsung D900
Sony Ericsson P1i
Nokia 8800 Sirocco black
Samsung P310

Least used was:
Nextel Blackberry 1 hour - Pulled the antenna out, and it broke
Nokia N96 - 5 minutes I opened the box then closed it

The rest I used quite a bit, and none were lost/stolen and 2-3 broke.

Nice! So long as your boosting the economy you have my full support!

I have the clear case on my Motorola Droid as you can see in the pictures and it fits well. It does decrease space on the top row of the keyboard, but I still can type on it. It may cause issues for some people though especially if they have larger fingers.

 

[Damian.]

Which do you prefer overall?

The iPhone. It has better HTML mail support, The Safari browser and more apps available.

you had some 30 phones in 6+ years?

okay...

I had more than that. Switched every once in a while.

aw man I've been a Nokia man for the longest time....

I went to the Philippines for 4 years for College and had the opportunity to use some amazing Nokia's

This is where I mastered Snake and texting at amazing speeds!

Texting on this badboy was amazing! Probably one of my favorite phones next to my iPhone.

Then I came back to Canada in 2001 and found out how far back North America was with GSM

Ahh my Mitsubishi T300... interchangable face plates!

Copped this baby because it was so thin and gadget like.. different screen colours and all. Had this about a week and lost it running for the bus :/

Went back with a Nokia and was still frustrated because of the lack of GSM

Then my first Smart phone. This Nokia was ahead of its time... waay ahead! 3 of my friends had this and used it to its full potential. From our discovery of bluetooth, to saving MP3 files, to recording video. This badboy provided some help in documenting an epic vacation in Cancun in 2003! I used to listen to my MP3s via a single ear bluetooth earpiece. People used to ask me, WTF is that in your ear? Thats some Star Trek ish!

Ran this baby to the ground! The only drawback was that it was a little bulky just like the 3600.

It was loud... it doubled as an MP3 player and Worms was fun to play. This broke in less than a year. The worst phone to keep in your pocket!

I held back on buying an iPod and stayed with the whole phone/MP3 player. This phone appealed so much more because it was small and thin and fit nice in my jeans especially when my jeans started to get a lot more 'slim/skinny'.

The greatest upgrade ever!... Because of the iphone I have a MBP and am running an Airport Express.

Still using the 8GB 2G iPhone unlocked (they never had them here in Canada). I could not use the thing in public back in September 2007 - June 2008 without someone asking me about it or staring at me. I was happy when Canada finally got the 3G in 08 and everyone could gawk at their own iPhone.

Q.F.T.

This is one of the major reasons i ditched my brown Hero and have shelved Android in general.

EDIT: I used tags but they still came out massive. sorry about that.
