So, whaddayathink?

[Heath Ledger]

It's all about the Iphone my friend. Get an iphone and jailbreak that shit and do as you please. I'm addicted to it like heroin.

Its those damn apps man, some of the games are so simple but yet addicting.

[Heath Ledger]

the beat maker app is the shit.

[ElNono]

I think you need to get yourself an iPhone.
I've been playing with OS 3.0 and it gets quite a bit better...

[balli]

I've played around with both the G1 Android and iphone 2 and there was absolutely no difference in what they were able to do. Every iphone app also exists for Android.

I use Google for everything and I full on drink the haterade when it comes to any and all Apple products. So with evident bias, you can guess where I stand on whether there is any advantage to owning an iphone.

On top of that, I'm a fan of the physical keyboard.

(Though I haven't seen the 3.0 iphone build)

[mFFL03]

new google phone (g1 series) will not have the physical keyboard though....but from what I've seen, it might look exactly like the iphone.

Thanks :tu

I heard the Google Phone may be a good cross between the Iphone and the BBerry

Quit talking out your ass as it stands now Iphone has so many more apps that are not yet available for Android although that is subject to change. Apps continue to flood in for Iphone due to the amount of units being sold.

Regarding OS 3.0 its worthless ive already been doing all of the shit included in 3.0 for months now. Camcorder, copy and paste, send photo text messages, voice recorder etc and for $0 out of pocket.

[lefty]

Everytime I see an IPhone commercial I always ask myself the same question, "Who the hell uses these apps, seriously who?"

BTW, I heard a new Iphone would be released in June 2009

[ATRAIN]

Just got the HTC Magic (my touch) and all I can say is that this phone kicks a lot of ass. Very similar to the Iphone but running off Android. Linux >>>>>>>>>>Mac os

[koriwhat]

Linux >>>>>>>>>>Mac os

?

btw, i desperately need to buy a new phone soon!

[ATRAIN]

Android is the OS the mytouch (HTC MAGIC) uses. It was developed by google so thats pretty much why this is the "google" phone(It is a Linux based OS). This phone is very similar to the iphone but better IMO. When they were advertising it they called it the IPHONE killer. Who is your provider?

my provider is crappy ass sprint... :(

when i was with my current ex i turned my camera phone into a none camera phone by chucking it across thousand oaks rd. haha. i'm surprised the phone survived but damn is it in horrible shape.

Well Sprint has the HTC Touch Pro, but its Windows based.

The Palm Pre uses Palm's webos which is basically linux

[ATRAIN]

The Palm Pre uses Palm's webos which is basically linux

from what I have seen thats a pretty nice phone.

[Trainwreck2100]

i gots one and it is

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Palm pre's are a good start for that OS. Not at all an iPhone killer. I was an iPhone hater til I actually played around with one. G1 better than the iPhone .......... :lmao
now thats comedy. The palm pre, I'm sure, has the iPhone team sweating a little. I've played with those and I liked the os alot. The Pre was a hurry-and-get-this-out-and-show-apple-we're-coming-for-your-market-share. Good start and I'm very interested on the next gen of the pre. Apple better start "borrowing" from the pre's OS.

G1 better than the iPhone

:lmao

I dont have the G1, I have the new one HTC(Magic), or Tmobile is calling it the Mytouch.

I think its better than the Iphone but they are very similar.

http://www.htc.com/www/product/magic/overview.html

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah. I've checked out the mytouch. Not that impressed. Cosmetically it's nice though.

Oh and Pre's are $80 at walmart. Don't know if that's for new customers though.

[PM5K]

Why do you think it's better?

[ATRAIN]

Why do you think it's better?

Well its similarities are pretty close to what the ipod can do. Its more customizable, you can buy spare batteries for your phone (which is something I have done the last 2 phones). Memory is expandable. Its still young on the apps but has a lot that the iphone has (Except they are free for android). Plus I trust Linux more than Apple.

what turned you off?

[ATRAIN]

If any phone has given the Iphone competition, the mytouch is it.

[PM5K]

expandable to only 16GB, which you have to purchase yourself - it comes with 4GB at the same cost as the 16GB 3GS. too little, too late. It might have been better competition for the 3G iPhone

[ATRAIN]

You said it, not me.

Well im not going to deny that the Iphone has been the leader in the cell phone market that last few years. Its been the best and they never had competition. I think they do now, plus tmobile advertises the shit out of their stuff so im sure we will see more mytouch users in the near future.

[ATRAIN]

I think Sandisk has a 32 gb microsd card out now.

[PM5K]

Did they add a proximity sensor yet, and are you still stuck with only being able to store apps on the on board memory, or can you use the SDHC card yet?

[leemajors]

I think Sandisk has a 32 gb microsd card out now.

with that added cost, you could get the 32GB iPhone and a much better UI.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

what turned you off?

Well I was in the market for a new phone. The g1 is a crap phone. Mytouch wasn't out and I'd gotten a hold of an iPhone and it blew me away. A couple of friends have a mytouch. I played with it and I've seen numerous video reviews and I made the best choice for what was out at the time. Mytouch is good but not that good. If you were with tmobile and wanted a smartphone then you did good with a mytouch. That is until you compare them both. It was a nice effort but no game changer. Tmobile practically stole the name too

myTouch
iTouch

[ATRAIN]

nope and yes to my knowledge you can use the sdhc card to store apps.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

If any phone has given the Iphone competition, the mytouch is it.

Eh. The Pre left a better impression on me than the itouch, I mean mytouch.

Yeah I dont doubt that the iphone is the hw champ. The G1 was crap. I think at the end of the day the comp is good for consumers. There are things I dont like about this phone but I agree its by far the best Tmobile has to offer. Unlocked phones can be a pain in the ass so I didnt do it. I def upgraded from the Blackberry pearl. The main thing that turns me away from iphone is that they are only with ATT. ATT sucks ass as far as plans and prices. Tmobile takes care of their customers and I pay 49.99 for unlimited nation wide mins. ATT was 99.99.........FUCK THAT!!

[ATRAIN]

Eh. The Pre left a better impression on me than the itouch, I mean mytouch.

I have only really seen the Pre, I havent actually used on.

[PM5K]

The G1 was crap? That's basically what the MyTouch is.

I think I read you can store to the SDHC but you have to root the phone.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah. I'm not too happy with the extra cost and service. That's why I'm excited about next year when supposedly the AT&T exclusive runs out and the next gen Pre will be. I was with tmobile for about 10 years and I actually hated leaving them but........

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I have only really seen the Pre, I havent actually used on.

To feel good about your itouch purchase I suggest you don't.

:D

[ATRAIN]

LMAO, hey if it was avail for tmobile I prob would have gotten one. One thing though, im not a fan of the little pop out keyboards, thats one of the reasons I didnt get the HTC pro (well that and the Windows OS).

[ATRAIN]

When is that supposed to happen? Once that happens the Iphone will become what the Razor was a few years back. Everyone and their mommma had one.

[ATRAIN]

One thing Im curious about is why are most Iphone users such haters lol. If I wanna cut someone deep all I have to say is Iphone sucks and they act like you kicked their dog lol.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Either next year or 2011. I'm AT&T won't go down without a fight.

once you use one for a while it's hard to imagine using anything else, or even being without it for a day or two.

[lefty]

I've recently got an Iphone 3G

It fucking rocks :D

You really do. Like I said, I was an iPhone hater until I actually experienced one.

Jailbreak it and you'll like it even more. You'll even be able to get the latest updates installed with MMS because you have the 3G instead of the 3GS.

[lefty]

Oh, it's unlocked and already jailbroken (and it has 3.0)

ANd Cycorder is not bad.

[jacobdrj]

Google phone seemed adequate. Not thrilling, but does the job. iPhone is ok. I love the apps, but i find typing on a touchscreen less than ideal.

Right now, I am using the woefully underpowered, poorly supported, and overpriced quazi-smart phone from Boost Mobile: The i465 Clutch. It has no real ability to sync, and I can't get any real good apps to work right with it, and the Alarm is ABHORENT, no flash light, or FM radio... But it has unlimited service and a QWERTY keypad that works, and so far the service has been adequate for my needs, and I was able to jimmy the GMAIL app to work, so I am happy.

[Fillmoe]

lol... boost mobile...

[TwAnKiEs]

So, whaddayathink?

I have the My Touch 3G and I love it. I have never owned an Iphone but from knowing others that do, I think they are pretty much on par, for the exception of the Iphone not having wallpapers.... but that's is just cosmetics. win\win

jailbroken iphones can have different wallpapers.

[Evan]

I was an iphone hater until I actually sat down and played with those apps. I now use it for everything from controlling my U-Verse DVR to paying bills. Its basically a mini laptop that never freezes up and everything works when its supposed to.

I almost got the google phone..its a great smart phone but the iphone is simply better. It was worth me laying out $200 to get away from that vile company known as T-Mobile and another $200 for the Iphone S.

[Evan]

Oh and nothing on the planet comes remotely close to what you can do with your jailbroken Iphone. This phone continues to drive the market. It was a game changer that everyone hopes they can achieve some day but they are so far behind it's not even funny.
