Do you own an iphone?

I don't and probably never will. I just cannot justify spending €500-€700 on a phone or a bill pay for €50 per month.

I own a telephone.

Yes, bought it recently and I love it.

Also, not sure where you're getting your information from. I bought the iphone outright for about €500 and my monthly bill is just the usual €20 a month 30 day rolling contract standard thingy. If you're paying €50 a month for the bill then usually it means you've got the phone on a contract and will bay €150ish for it.

If you paid €500 for the phone and are paying €50 a month on a bill you're doing it wrong.

I have done the last few years, the best one they had was the iPhone 4. Seriously thinking of android or windows for my next phone, the current iPhone is nothing new and not worth much.

Yeah, because when you get one you can spend hour after hour rooting them, changing the OS, putting on widgets and customising them!

As where the iPhone works fine out of the box....(and costs me nothing, my phone provider gives me them for free as my company spends a fortune with them. Might get the new Lumia in a few weeks just to try that out too.)

Have an iPhone and a Galaxy S3. The S3 is collecting dust beside the Galaxy Tablet in my bottom drawer.

Now, I'll just sit back and wait for the android fan boys to slate my opinion....

irishgirl19 · 07-02-2013 05:30PM

no, by the time ill have saved up for one they'll have a another new one out with like one added feature. Ill stick with android thank you very much.

MrStuffins · 07-02-2013 05:30PM

Does it have original snake?

No?

Then what do I want with it? Give me the Nokia 3210 any day!

Wait, you meant that first part to be a bad point?

The fact that you CAN root and change the OS?

You know Android works out of the box too right?

Consider it slated. S3 > iPhone

What a waste of trees in starting this thread

07-02-2013 05:31PM

Yes on my second iPhone and can't see myself using any other type of phone for a long long time. Absolutely fantastic piece of kit.

Yes, but it's slow and clunky, the email client is incredibly poor for dealing with MS Exchange, screen swipe takes too long compared to iphone, camera pics are often out of focus or fuzzy, KIES is the worst piece of software ever, and they are full of bloatware.

I've tried them, and i just prefer the iPhone.

07-02-2013 05:33PM

Yeah, Android phones work great out of the box. Only reason most would root it or change anything is because we can easily and because some of us just like doing it.

and that's about all it comes down to. if you like fiddling, use android, if you just want to use your phone as it is, iphone all the way.
