    I have both, and my android (samsung galaxy s) is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. (honestly)

    If you own an iphone you’re most likely going to fail any tests that are designed to distinguish between man and vegetable.

    People were selling these out of a back of a van around the Durra Road outside Ennis last week for around e150. Not sure if they were genuine or not.

    Iphone is great if you like touch screen phones. You either like touch screen or dont. I personally dont love them prefere qwerty keypad phones myself.

    Aha, you see angry birds is also on the android market now too.
    One difference though. ITS FCUKIN FREE!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭StereoLove


    I have an iPhone 3Gs and I would definatly recommend it!

    If you have Wi-Fi you can use the Internet and it's so good, you might as well be using a computer.

    There's loads of brilliant things you can do on it, not to mention the apps!

    As I said, I'd definatly recommend it:)

    People buy iphones because Apple do marketing well.

    People buy android phones because they're better than iphones.

    Check out android phones on chinavasion.com. Seriously. Before you buy anything. I bought my niece a phone last Christmas, wi-fi, bluetooth, tv and radio and mp4, dual sim etc. for around 90 euro incl. shipping. Would cost at least 200 here. Prices are in dollars so you get a nice surprise when you convert to euro's too.

    FYP

    Nothing like a good oul iPhone vs Android argument! I honestly have to say the galaxy S is the first Android phone that holds a candle to an iPhone, the rest are how can I put it? Inferior in every way.

    lol. To all Android lovers. The Android is an obvious copy of the iPhone. And iOS, by far, the better OS. In fact the only reason Android would win anything ( which it might) is because Apple are reluctant to license, as usual. If iOS were licenced Android would be about 2% of th emarket. The great Asberger-syndromed unwashed would continue to love it, however, as it is more difficult to do simple stuff like change the backgroud picture, so it must be for "smart" people.

    Why not? They threw in a 4 GB mmc card and extra battery too. It's never given her any problems, she's very happy with it.

    Everyone knows iPhone owners have bigger dicks, and Android owners have inverted dicks. Facts we just have to deal with.

    Last Christmas. My bro got one too and he's had it two years now. Don't forget pricing is in dollars. 127 dollars is expensive?

    I didn't know what to ask for Christmas.

    I hate to have to use my brain to think about such things.

    Luckily, I have an App for that.

    If I'd a euro for everytime someone called me a wanker,
    I'd buy myself an Iphone.

    Ah sure what do I know. I've still got my old-ish sony ericsson phone. Camera is brilliant though. Can't be arsed with android or iphones meself. Social networking on the bus? A spirit level app? God knows how we survived this long without them.:rolleyes:

    It's the people who shelled out exorbitant amounts of cash for an iPhone that I would say are poor(er).
    :D

    I bought an iPhone 3GS 32Gb the day it was released in Ireland and I haven't regretted it. At the time it was by far the best phone on the market and even today is a very good phone.

    I will probably upgrade it next summer but this time I'm thinking of going for an android phone, for the same reason I choose a PC over a Mac, openness. The iPhone is too restricted, too closed. I want to do what I want with my smartphone not what apple will allow me.
