Could you give a few examples please?It's been said of great leaders, it's not so much what they say but how they say it.
Same can be applied to the iPhone. It's not what it does but how it does it that differentiates it from the competition.
I agree. From the way it's marketed you would think it was THE ultimate smartphone, when in actuality it isn't.
Isn't that the point of marketing? So, you're blaming Apple Marketing folks for being too good at their jobs?!
makes.no he's blaming what many people refer to as "sheeple, or iSheep, or apple fanboys" - whatever the hell that's supposed to mean - for enjoying the features or products that
Easy enough. That would be any Android phone running 2.3.4 or higher using Google's CURRENT built in Music app (It cheats to be honest as it cross fades and doesn't actually read the meta tag), or one can simply go to the Android Market and download a player the actually does... like PowerAmp or Double Twist.
Android phones are for those who like to tinker with their phones OS and exert some control over the phones functions using utilities. So if you like to tinker ....GO ANDROID.
Android OS tends to be all over the map as far as version and support.
It's usually hard to contact the OS manufacturer (Google for the OS and brand xxx for the phone manufacturer) about any issues (try to get a hold of Google - its IMPOSSIBLE).
You have to rely on your carrier, and usually depending on how popular you model is, you may or may not get any help.
Android phones are manufactured by DOZENS of manufacturer. Therefore models come and go like mushrooms.
Your android phone will usually be out classed within a month or two. Because of that, they are more common or "a dime a dozen" and therefore they don't usually hold their value very well.
Quality varies all over the map from manufacturer to manufacturer.
3rd party accessories makers don't want to invest too much in products because models change too often and they don't want to be stuck with inventory.
The Apple iPhone on the other hand is a piece of art to say the least.
Quality and build quality is superb. Support is GREAT.
iPhones tend to holds their value.
They generally work as designed.
Battery usually will last all day.
You'll find QUALITY accessories made for iPhone from major manufacturers like JBL, BOSE, SONY, PANASONIC, MARANTZ, ONKYO, SONOS, PORSCHE, MERCEDES BENZ, FORD, PIONEER HARMAN KARDON, M-AUDIO just a few. All these companies I mentioned have docks/cradles/interfaces/speakers ETC. for the iPhone/iPod. I serious'y doubt if any of them want to invest in any Android device (SORRY ANDROID)
So I say, STICK WITH iPHONE. You'll be glad you did.
At the end of the day, you can truly say you enjoyed using your phone.
High end Android phones hold their value just fine.
Having an all metal frame is not necessarily a good thing although my Atrix and a few other Droid models have all metal frames, they use plastic on the battery covers. But then again, their batteries can be replaced or even upgraded without having to send your phone out.
Yep... I agree... way too many models.
Cute, but contrary to the manufacturer's belief, many Android phones are more than capable of running 4.x.
Pinnacle of quality is debatable, but that goes to perception more than reality.
Ferrari's are a bitch to maintain, that's why only the rich can afford them.
I had a good laugh at this one.And chicks dig the i. The iPhone has sex appeal. it's ridiculous, but true.
You realize what you just said? 70-80% of a subsidized price isn't much. That means if a phone sold for $200 on contract according to you it just needs to sell for a minimum of $140....figure out what you want to say, because I'm sure that wasn't your point...
Plastic is more durable than glass. Sorry but making a portable device that is constantly being handled out of glass is not a very good idea.
Pinnacle of quality? That's highly debatable. I don't think you can call something the pinnacle of quality when it's prone to breaking easily. The aluminum gets scratched by cases. I buy and sell them all the time and there are always scratches on the aluminum from where the case gripped the phone....that's because aluminum is soft..not a good thing to trim the phone with. Then of course there's the fragile glass.....
Disagree here too. Most people I know that just bought smartphones bought galaxy s2's because of the screen. As for refinement, I must disagree again. Take the browser for example, it's hardly refined at all, and quite frankly it is quite subpar especially when compared to the ICS browser. You can't even download or upload from it...how refined is that?
Though this was a stupid statement, I'll humor you....I guarantee I've met more women by paying using my phone than you would ever get from just having an iphone. Paying with your phone is one hell of a conversation starter.And chicks dig the i. The iPhone has sex appeal. it's ridiculous, but true.
