4llerbuntu: Maybe most of us don't really care about bluetooth file transfer? The last time i really really was into bluetooth file transfer (music, ringtones and photos), I was still in University and the year was still 2003. What people like you will NEVER understand is that lots of us can see the big picture. It's all about the user experience. It's all very well for someone to ramble on about 'closed ecosystem' and 'walled garden' but at the end of the day it boils down to what the user experience is all about. At this moment I can whip out Street Fighter 4 or Football manager 2012 on my iOS devices. They don't exist on Android. No amount of 'openness' will put them there. Developers prefer iOS, there are lots more apps on iOS. There are always pros and cons to everything. Having to sync to copy stuff is still annoying as hell. But on the plus side, you get a smooth, well supported OS with great hardware and the most vibrant app store selection of all the platforms. By your definition the PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, DS, 3DS etc are all 'walled gardens' and 'closed ecosystems', are totally evil and must be avoided. Good luck with that |

@ tex, the thing is this: i dont know about iphone users in jand or yankee, i dont know about the few, hopefully including u, nigerians who can actually afford to use an iphone normally, BUT a large number of our wannabe fanboys cannot afford to buy 3 apps on their iphone!!!. i see this mentality replicated everywhere and its annoying. go to the gaming section and see them flame and go on and on about their beloved ps3 and xbox. people who rely on pirated cd from alaba. how many of them have ever or will ever buy a 60 dollar game cd? ditto with this una iphone. of all the wanksters on NL, how many could or would ever buy infinity blade or fifa 12? u jailbreak, install cydia, look for cracked dumps and pirated stuff all over, then come here to crow about the fone. when u dont even know or experience what the ecosystem truly is like at all, most if not all of ya dont even stay in the walled garden, yet u tell people the garden is the best ever. cos if u noticed, nobody is complaining that the fone is bad, or hardware is wack or performance poor. the complaint was about everyday useability from the perspective of a noob. once he joins the bandwagon naw and jailbreaks etc, he too will start singing the same tune |

Hi NL. i just got an offer to buy an iphone 3g. the price is very reasonable so i'm tempted. bt considering the fact the phone model has been discontinued and it can't pgrade to ios5, i'm wondering if it would be a good buy. please i need advice. whats the downside of getting an iphone 3g, can i get good apps to run on it, ? would appreciate all input. TY |
Re: How Stupid Is The Iphone by coogar: 8:04pm On Dec 10, 2011 |
blackx: i-phone 3g or 3gs. if it's 3g, don't buy it. it's useless. even if you manage to put. the 3g runs as slow as a snail on anything higher than 4.0 it is meant to work at best performance with ios 3.1.3 - going higher than that would make the phone unusable. 40 secs to load camera, 35 secs to snap the pic. |

4llerbuntu: I actually buy a lot of my apps, trust me. At this moment, I have $30 in my itunes account. I bought FIFA 12 for about $7. Secondly, as far as 'usability' is concerned, the iPhone wins hands down over Android OS. Don't mistake 'using your music library as a ringtone' with UI intuitiveness. They don't mean the same thing. There's a reason why the iPhone sells far more than any other phone out there. |

musKeeto: The numbers don't lie; the category with the most turnover on the App Store and the Android Market is the 'Games' category. Stop whining just because the iPhone 4S (and iPad 2) have better GPUs than any Android phone ever made. Anyway, just in case you were inebriated while you were reading my previous post, I mentioned games like Football Manager that aren't on Android. That has nothing to do with 'graphics' and everything to do with second rate developer support. Apple wins to 'suckers' like me because they have a better app ecosystem at the moment. Here's a challenge I usually hand out to Android specs freaks. You folks always crow on and on about CPU clock speeds. Can you name just 2 apps that really need (or make use of ) all that horsepower you're always crowing about apart from games? |

Its the best ever invented phone. Iphone is the number one. |
Re: How Stupid Is The Iphone by aieromon(m): 8:39pm On Dec 11, 2011 |
Hey I-fans,I really don't know why you guys are getting all worked up for.Nobody has come out to say the Iphone is the worst smartphone out there(in terms of performance and efficiency).I'll take every criticism outlined as a compliment.I'm not comfortable with the intensity of RESTRICTION associated with Apple products and will never use them for that reason.99% of us share this view and the remaining 1% are well,just haters. Apple has simply set the standard for others to follow and anybody that can use its products without getting worked up about the restriction issues should be commended.Aren't you glad whenever you hear ''Iphone killer'' or ''Ipad killer''? |
Re: How Stupid Is The Iphone by belushi7: 12:23am On Dec 12, 2011 |
We don't all have get worked up and start calling ourselves names over a simple argument. The OP says "how silly is the iPhone ". Lets keep it within those walls. We all agree iPhone (ESP from the iphone4 up) represent beautiful deviCes that function well. Ones the buyer is ready to accommodate the restrictions. No problem. That was probably one thing the OP wasn't prepared for when she got the phone and now getting her upset. Just offer her the way around getting the task she wanted done and we all go in peace. I have sgs2 while I got the iphone4 for wifie. Both devices have their pros and cons. But for my needs, I will rather the sgs2 over the iphone4. That doesn't make the iphone4 less in anyway. Just my preference. |
Re: How Stupid Is The Iphone by texazzpete(m): 6:27am On Dec 12, 2011 |
I don't see anyone here getting 'all worked up' over this discussion. Certainly not me! I also have not called anyone 'names'. all I have done is to put my arguments on the table in a precise, logical manner. This sudden influx of 'peacemakers' worries me |
