How can I make an order?

kobonaire: if I may borrow your "logic" and say this .... All cars look the same to me. They have 4 tyres, have a steering wheel, go from point A to B .... so therefore they are all the same .... why buy a BMW M5 if you can just gets it's 'equivalent' .... a Daewoo Leganza

MadCow1:


Erm. .. You came close but fell short..

The iPhone design in terms of exterior looks the same and is difficult to really tell apart until you look closely especially the iPhone 3.. 4, 4S, 5, and 5S.

Unlike BlackBerry that changes the outer look of their phones from one to another, the iPhone seems set in their ways. Even the UI is the same.

I know the hardware specs are different, but the rest is just too alike. It's almost lazy.

Romanciella: smh re u ok

UchihaMadara:

You also came close but fell short because you are comparing blackberry to apple, making it seem as though blackberry has the edge when they almost went out of business.

You do have a point with the iphone designs though, I feel eventually their bland designs may catch up with them the same way Nokia had bland designs, throwing out 3300 series phones that were all alike; 3310, 3315, 3330...

For now though, apple still has a good reputation for having a very stable phone engine(IOS), that rarely fails compared to other phone operating systems.

kobonaire: Well, there are "hidden costs" there. Remember that $199 is a contract price (2 year contract) and you are obligated to pay for a data plan in the 24 month period of the contract ...

kobonaire:
In my opinion, a phone brand is successful if it can achieve the following:-
1) A simple yet highly functional UI. I am in the software technology field and I know how difficult that is to achieve
2) Good integration between the hardware and the software
3) Great performance of the other important features of the phone: camera, touch screen, browser, audio, RF performance, screen resolution etc
4) Availability of apps.
5) ......And many more
The IPhones (and IOS) and leading Android devices (and android OS) have excelled pretty well in all those, with Apple arguably doing better in #2 because they have absolute control over the hardware, software and firmware.
Your analysis is just based on the overall general looks which I do not think is in-depth enough. Perhaps you should really have a closer look at the iPhones. There's a world of difference in between the models.
In addition, I think that Blackberry ceased to be relevant many years ago. There's a reason why BB sales continue to slump.

The point of using the blackberry comparison was strictly to point out their stale design concept with regards to the shape, physical look and user interface.

If they don't change soon...

Anyways I am personally not an iPhone fan primarily because of their sharing policy and the restrictions around their devices.

The only apple device I like remains the ipod.

francis247: NA LIE
Texazzpete stop the overhyping.
Even the Samsung Galaxy S2, The smartphone with the highest number of preorder in history never sold up to 3million in 24 hrs let alone this old wine in new bottle selling over 4M. Once again I smell

Romanciella: smh ... u dont hav to exhibit yiur stupidity everywhere on nl

btoks: Simple marketing strategy by Apple to get people to part with their cash.the company has got to keep getting income therefore it'll keep bringing products out even if its a small change. I say kudos to Apple for keeping people interested in their products, however people (esp those who cant afford) need to be careful when purchasing these things as it has a way of getting you hooked and in debt.wait a few months and the Price will drop . it'll be 6s next year for sure to sort out the bugs.

Galaxy S2 preorders started March 1st 2011. By May 9th 2011, Samsung announced they had received 3 million preorders.
That's 3 million in 2 months.

The iPhone 6/6+ received 4 million in 24 hours, beating the 3 million set by the iPhone 5S.

It always amazes me how the empty heads are the loudest ones in the room. Somehow, you found 6 other half-wits to like your post

jossi994: i'm tryna point out a mistake you made and instead of you quietly accepting and correcting it,you're busy displaying how shallow you are. Afo edi ata akamba ebot.. #Victoriousvic,please translate it for her

Hehehe. . Make them no ban me o.

This must be a joke post

The OS 5/6/7 phones didn't have any radical design changes.
