I'm an apple guy now... but I'm buying a Droid phone.
I also like the text app with the new SPOT emergency device... you can text by sattelite with a smart phone... KEWL!!

Where does a guy find that app? Where in that damn endless market?

I-phone is simple to use and all the **** for it/on it simply works. Never locks up, touch screen on the 4 is beauty, start pushing buttons and everything works with virtually no setup. Really nice if you are computer stupid. I really like mine and I am NOT an Apple geek at all.....in fact, it's the only Apple product I've ever owned.
That's the phone I'm waiting on, how do you like it? I wish they'd hurry up, and release it in the US. The #'s on that phone, blow everything else out of the water. I'm excited to see it. I've been reading the realese date is 9/12/11. Hopefully that holds up.
Been with Nokia since the stoneage, and have some trouble adjusting to the new phone (more the user than the phone that's the problem) seemes quick, but alittle low capasity on the battery I feel. Think i was relesed here in June or so, but still abit hard to get ahold of...
I was in the same boat for a while.
Personally I don't like Apple's way of doing things, but on the other side usually what they have works really well.
The Iphone is what everyone aims for. Some have beat it, some haven't, but overall it's what every single smart phone maker out there is going after. The answer is right there. I chose the Iphone and am liking it more and more each day. I will say I'm not a heavy phone user though.
The Iphone 5 should be out soon, maybe wait a bit, once it hits I'd bet it's going to be a game changer again for all the other companies. If it wasn't, why would there be so much hype when Apple does something? There is a good reason for it.

I just bit the bullet and got an htc inspire with the otterbox defender cover. The phone is great but the battery life isn't great. But now I'm continually doing something on it (web, texting, actually talking to another person) so the poor battery life is probably to be expected.

the iphone 5 is said to have a laser projected keyboard, able to project a laser keyboard onto a larger surface, thus allowing you to type as if you were on an actual keyboard.
the iphone 5 is said to have a hologram projected screen, projecting video, and other images just above the phone with your ability to increase, and decrease the size of the projection, just as you would do on the actual iphone itself.
not sure if this is 100% true or not, i did see the video on youtube, and it does look pretty real and sick...
I didnt read the comments, or research if it was real or not.
if it is real, imagine the technology we dont know about. they say the governemt is 14 years more advanced in their technology than we even know about.

no. i believe this is a discussion forum... discussing things, and the question the thread starter asked was which phone do we think is better. i gave my opinion, and stated about something i had found out about one of the products in question.
thus possibly helping him come to a decission. maybe? ok.
and if i was selling phone's i would not have said that i wasnt 100% sure if what i had found was true, as in sales, you need to be sure of what you are saying.
hope that helps learn how to read discussions, and potentially helpful information more clearly...

shoot... sorry... i now see that you had tried to mock, or make something funny out of some potentially helpful information. and you probly realized that it was unfair to do so, because it might have made you seem like an azzhole... causing you to delete what you had written, but i caught you before you had the chance....
now... see why they "say think before you act"
what do you think about your ego right now?
not real, it was a concept video... I believe those are special effects, but we will all know once it comes out on the 4th.
Wife just got the iphone 4, looks like a slick unit. I will eventually get an iphone as well. The interface just works good.

yeah. iphone and blackberry are pretty solid platforms as far as performance goes... thinkin about getting the evo 3D, but i'll always keep the blackberry on hand so that if i ever break a phone, or not like a new phone that i get, ill be perfectly okay with going back to the blackberry.

Update: iPhone 5 and iOS 5: What We Know So Far
By Daniel Ionescu, PCWorld Oct 2, 2011 4:38 PM
It’s been a busy weekend for iPhone watchers with Apple apparently spilling the beans on the debut of an iPhone 4S via a premature slip on iTunes beta 10.5 and an unintentional welcome message to its yet-to-be-official storage service iCloud sent to some customers.
Apple is set to unveil its next generation iPhone and iOS 5 mobile operating system on Tuesday. The details of Apple's announcement are unknown, but the veil of Apple silence is lifting quickly. Apple’s invitation to the October 4 event is tagged “Let’s talk about iPhone,” -- so with the announcement date so tantalizingly close, it’s time to take a look at what we know so far about the next iPhone and iOS 5.
(Updated 10/2 at 7pm ET)
What We Know: iPhone 5
Design: Two theories prevail about what the next iPhone will look like. Theory one is an all-new design device (dubbed the iPhone 5), which would feature a tear-shaped design with a metal back and a slimmer body, as well as a larger display. Some, such as Daring Fireball’s John Gruber, are skeptic over this design. The tear shape would mean that such an iPhone would be thicker and heavier on one side than the other, making it unbalanced when held in landscape orientation, like for gaming.
Image is from Gizmodo.com and is part of a series of images allegedly showing a new iPhone manufactured in Brazil.The second theory refers to the new iPhone as the iPhone 4S, which would look identical to the iPhone 4, but with bumped-up specs. Gizmodo published at the weekend alleged photos from inside Foxconn’s Brazilian factory, showing a new iPhone that looks exactly like the iPhone 4, but carrying a different model number (N90A). 9 To 5 Mac dug in the latest iTunes beta code and found references just to the iPhone 4S, indicating this could be the only phone revealed by Apple this year, featuring a dual-mode GSM+CDMA chip. A survey pointed that the iPhone 5 is the most anticipated of the two by consumers.
Features: Regardless of the design of the next iPhone, there are same sure-fire bets over the specs. It’s expected the A5 dual-core processor currently found on the iPad 2 to make its way to the new iPhone, as well as more RAM (doubled from 512MB to 1GB) and a higher-resolution camera, possibly 8 megapixels.
Availability: October 4 is expected to be only the announcement date of the new iPhone, with Apple Insider tipping that the weekend starting Friday, October 14 is the one you’ll want to put aside for queuing outside your nearest Apple store. If Apple uses the iPad 2 model and releases the phone 10 days after the announcement, then October 14 or 15 could see the new iPhone reach the first consumers.
Carriers & Price: The iPhone is now currently available on AT&T and Verizon, and Sprint is anticipated to be the next in line to get the new iPhone this year, says the Wall Street Journal, but not T-Mobile. The new iPhone is expected to cost $199 with a two-year contract, just as with previous iterations of the device. A lower-cost iPhone is believed to cost just $99 with a two-year contract, taking over from the iPhone 3GS as the least expensive iPhone.
What We Know: iOS 5
Known Features: Developers had a chance to play with a beta version of iOS 5 for a few months now, and Apple showcased the major new features as well. The big changes in iOS 5 include several improvements to Mail and Safari, a notification center similar to Android’s, Twitter integration and iMessage, an instant messaging platform for iOS devices. iCloud, Apple’s cloud storage solution is also integrated in iOS 5, so you can re-download purchased music, apps or books to any of your devices or computer, while the master copy resides with Apple.
Surprise Features: Apple is believed to have kept back from the iOS 5 beta one surprise feature – the integration of voice assisted functions in the iPhone. Anecdotal evidence from the likes of 9 To 5 Mac surfaced over the past few weeks that you will be able to dictate texts and emails your iPhone, as well as have incoming messages read to you by the phone.
Availability: If Apple sticks to previous OS release schedules, then iOS 5 should be available a few days ahead of the next iPhone, in order to avoid Apple’s servers melting down. It appears Apple has prematurely sent out ‘Welcome to iCloud’ emails to some users over the weekend, although the links to activate the service within the email are not yet functional. Apple Insider reported Apple blacked out employee vacations October 9 through to 12 too, which indicates the possible arrival date of iOS 5 to current iPhone 3GS and 4 owners, as well as iPad owners and the 2009 and 2010 models of iPod Touch.
