Why Do We Like The Devices We Use.

[sixwheeledbeast]

Landscape QWERTY keyboard. IR (for when you've lost your TV remote), Stereo speakers, run desktop like applications, USB hostmode, Wifi Hotspot, TV-Out, red or white flashlight, SSH, FOSS, replaceable battery, resistive screen with stylus. But I am sure we've been here before

 

The only device that I am slightly interested in is Ubuntu Edge, but I doubt I'll change for anything without a QWERTY in landscape.

TBH, from Windows mobile, went iPhone 4 32gb i now have the 4s 64gb, wife has my previous 4 - and we have never looked back, but conversely i'm just not interested in the 5 despite larger screen.

wife and i have so many 4/4s and iPad 2 gadgets, why bin that lot just because of the new connection?

same applies (for us) to Samsung who are obviously the closest rival but not so obviously superior, never had a real play with jelly bean os but earlier Android renditions - are you kidding kids?

while great eye candy, again is it worth changing gadgets and apps for a little (if any) advantage?

i think Apple scored an incredible own goal over this new docking connector, pushing many of those who were considering Android to make the swerve away, instead of upgrading, just as i might have had to an ip5 if all the add on's had not been suddenly outdated for no real reason.

Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave!

Desire screwed opinion on android for many - the memory and storage limitations on it were dire.

 

That said - I love my SIII and am looking forward to upgrading to another Samsung model next year.

My s2 is a great phone, one issue after 16 months, phoned up samsung, and they did a rtb repair. Came back with a spanking new battery. Upgrading on tues to the s4.

I like the fact that i can customise everything on it. Rooted it ages ago, and inssider finds hidden ssid's

Usb leads also, so no daftly expensive leads. Iphone experience tells me iphone iz easier to use in the first place, but once droid is set up properly, it eclipses iphone on useability, and ongoing costs too

Imo of course

Cant see me ever swapping to an iphone, something about the company grates on me. Imagine being locked to bluetoothing only to other iphones, and only able to faceview peeps if they also owned an apple device. Its anti-competition imo

And when you start to loose marketplace, starting a sueing war too!

In essense, fook apple. All their great inventions are demeaned by their blatant attempts to lock the market to them. Shame, coz the iphone could trully be the only phone, if only another company had developed it

I find the iPhone a pain to use. Much prefer android.

Moved away from Samsung's, found them to be a tad glitchy.

Moved back to HTC with the One. Very impressive bit of kit.

Customer had a htc one the other day, seemed nice bit of hardware, slim, light etc.

Blackberry Torch Full Touch Screen of course

 

But BB all the way.

Bit out of order

I suppose when they binned BES they had to find another way. I thought BES was one of the best bits of BB.
