I just dissed an iPhone 4 user.

So, some semi-drunk iTard tonight was condescendingly dissing on my Evo when I was using it, dissing on its battery life and saying how his iPhone 4 was so much better blah blah blah.
First of all, it's just a f'n phone. It's not a status symbol.
But I had to put the guy in his place, so I replied:
"You're right. I wish I could buy a rubber bumper for my Evo but they don't make one. Actually, they don't make rubber bumpers for any phone. Just the iPhone, cuz it's so special"

Was he wearing skinny jeans by chance?

You could have been all.
"Do you know what else is square and lined with rubber?... a square wheel.. do you know who else makes a square wheel?.. nobody.. *look the guy dead in the face*..... because square wheels are ****ing retarded..."

Did you ask him if you could take a look at his battery?

I have my condescending thoughts about some iphone users but I've come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be very mature of me to verbally slam them. Better for me to just leave them alone in their own little la la land.
My opinion is that, besides not being able to play flash, it's decent hardware but ruined by the carrier it's on and how heavily the company that makes it censors apps.

ive only had a few iphone owners try to diss me lol and each time everyone else around me is just marvelling at it so the iphone person looks like an idiot.
most of the time when i bust my evo out even iphone owners just stare at the phone in jealousy

There's a simply remedy that is only 5 words long:
YOU'RE HOLDING IT WRONG!

"How does it feel having Steve Job's thumb up your ass?"
Always makes em mad lol.

Ehh the iPhone is okay, if I didn't already have my evo i might consider the iPhone 4. but what makes me mad is the everyday comment: "is that the iPhone?" while I'm on my evo. No you moron its the htc evo, and trying to convince older people android is pro as **** and the iphone is old news.
Hate it. lol

I love being out at coffee shops and other cafes people tend to use their phones to surf when my phone vibrates to let me know a device has connected to my tethering app. I can't tell y'all how many times it has said an iPhone is connected. My tether SSID is iPhone Sucks or iPhail(depending on the app). I wonder how many people have noticed it.
Also, if I am out I will always use the kickstand(hands down the most brilliant feature).
And I agree with how annoying it is when people ask if that is an iPhone. Just because it is a touchscreen doesn't make it an iPhone.
I love reading Evo/Android vs iPhone stories.

Ditto on that. Another funny story, my coworkers and I were at Carl's Jr. a while back for lunch and some college kid is being all loud talking on his iPhone 4 and playing with his iPad at the same time while in line, while talking about how AWESOME his iPad is. *face palm*
Seriously, how much of a loser do you have to be to show off your gadgets for status?
Android users don't do that do we? Probably a VERY FEW. Most of us I think are just into our phones cuz we want to make them perfect (and unique) to ourselves. That's what's cool about Android, my perfect phone isn't your perfect phone. And if I'm showing another guy my phone, it's to show how mine's DIFFERENTLY set up than his and vice versa. Also, I'm always trying to convert normal Android users to power uses. Last week, I rooted my coworker's myTouch at work and put CyanogenMod on it. He was so stoked, he spent the next 3-4 days exploring all the new things his phone could do, suffice it to say, his wife hates me now. LOL
It seems rather ironic that these iPhone 4 users think they are so special just because their phone is "The iPhone" when there's a 17yr old girl right next to them with a phone that is THE EXACT SAME THING!

I have one friend who has an iPhone and whenever I pull my EVO out he always has to comment about what his iPhone does and how it does it better and yada yada yada. I think it's an inferiority complex cause it's like clockwork everytime.
I have no beef with the iPhone at all, I actually think it is a GREAT phone. I just like the EVO better. It pretty much does everything the iPhone does and more. Maybe it doesn't do it as smoothly as the iPhone but that isn't something I care about because if I did, I would have an iPhone just like all the other sheep out there with a pretty pink bumper, lol!

It just depedns on the user guys my friend has and iPhone (I had it too right next to the Evo but I cancel my contract) and I got the Evo so whenever we hang we actually don't care about the phone unless is some cool app that we haven't seen but sometimes people out there acts dumb when it comes to iPhone in general I know at least 4 of my friends don't want it no more and they don't want to pay ETF, and another 3 that there happy with the iPhone, one of cousin got Android cause recommended her and she came from iPhone and she is happy, but is just learning curve at first the die iPhone fans hate. No for nothing but iPhone is easy to use while Android it has it learning curve but with that you end up getting more

With the Iphone, it's all about the apps, they have a more mature app market so their apps will shine for now. But Android OS does so much more.
Does the iPhone 4 have Google Voice Actions?
Google should pull an Apple and remove all their software from the iPhone. What would the iPhone be w/o Google's apps?

Sat next a dude who also had a Xoom...

... on the bus and we spent the rest of ride back conversating loudly about our awesome tablets, while being surrounded by iPad users. Shortest bus ride home ever...
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

nice, its the best tablet no one seems to be talking about. I think people were waiting for the ipad and to be honest that underwelmed but folks are still going to flock to it

Some guy asked me "is that an iPad?" I said "no, its a Xoom." You should've seen the look of befuddlement on his face....

Its sad that people don't know about the Xoom. Even worse when the same people ask, "why didn't you get an iPad?"

Trust me. They don't.

Just give it time. Motorola screwed up with opening with the most expensive model when they should have gone with the wifi only version out of the gate. Regardless it will only be a matter of a few short months when Android tablets will be everywhere...and then...the developers will come running.
IOS is a joke but it works and it is simple. Apple will not change that which means the software innovation will be left up to Google. As soon as Apple makes their system even slightly more confusing...all bets are off. Icons are for smart phones in 2008...it is 2011 and soon people will want more and they will want choice...

Mostly don't, some even asked me what's so good about android, I had to ask them the same thing about iOS and they can't even explain that to me xD

I was having dinner with some friends tonight and whipped out my XOOM to show off the NES emulator (the pattern on the table cloths looked like Tetris, so it was only inevitable.)
The waiter came over and was like "Wha...How did you get Zelda on the iPad??" and I was like "It was really easy, actually! I downloaded it from the Android market, because it's a Motorola XOOM. You can't do that with an iPad unless you jailbreak it."
He was in awe. lol

Agreed. Who wants multiple screens with a bunch of icons when you can actually make your screens look like a web site with various widgets with useful information that matters to you.

I feel it too. Everyone seems consumed by the *cough* ipad, that they don't realize tablets even exist for android. The xoom kills 'em all! Android is sooooo much better than the other *cough again* competitors. Once an "apple" lover sees the xoom in action they'll sure change to the better side!

Should've said "how did you become a dumbass?"
might be a bit overboard, but it'd get the point across.

These people aren't dumb nor is it their fault that they're not aware of the Xoom. You should be more annoyed at Motorola's marketing. I have seen one commercial and quite honestly....it sucked.
I think Android will always have this problem...Apple is one company and Android devices are made by a number of different manufacturers. Makes it hard to market Android as a whole. I guess things will get easier once the market is flooded with Android tablets.
Best thing to do is point out the positives of Android vs IOS without being a d-bag.

Really lame fanboy comments on here, but it's a Xoom forum so it's excusable i guess.
If you like your Xoom, then fine, why deride others who like their iPads? If nobody you've come across knows about the Xoom or keeps mistaking it for some sort of iPad-thingy, then whose fault is that? Those people are neither stupid or dumb like you all seem to think. I have an Epic and an iPad, both of which i like and use quite well. Won't be getting a Xoom, not interested, waiting to see the Galaxy tablet.
Where's the marketing from Motorola, where's the push from VZW? You'd think that these were the same folks who made a big push with the "Droid Does" phone campaign that brought Android awareness to all and sunder.
Walk into any BestBuy and see where and how they've displayed the Xoom. It's in some nondescript corner somewhere with no ecosystem of accessories around it (at least the NYC store here). Almost like an afterthought...just something else we carry. No eye-catching signage, no display props, very little employees who go out of their way to even know about it...

This is what kills me why does there need to be marketing for a product you already know about hand possibly own? Plus aple users tend to be vocal about their devices as well fanactical to some extent which is fine. Why do people feel the need to judtify their own purchases or need to bash one in order to like another? I have a xoom, bought an I pad that I never see(wife and kids's really) and think both serve their purpose. Also one of apples biggest strengths isn't their products but their marketing.

You must all be using some different kind of Xoom then me. I love android more then any other OS but this thing is the biggest piece of janky **** I have ever used. Nothing works, everything force closes. Coming from a galaxy tab this is a giant step DOWN. Granted it ran froyo, but it ran it flawlessly. My friends nook color runs honeycomb better then this. Every minute I use this thing I get more frustrated. Picked it up last night bringing it back within the hour. Huge let down.

I understand where you're coming from, LordLugard, and honestly I don't think people are stupid because they think the xoom is an ipad. Its just my humorous criticism of how I hate apple! Lol. Why? Because apple sucks. Why? ...just because. Lol. Im not being negative towards anybody, but think its funny. And I can care less about the exploitation of the xoom. I actually like being a part of something that's not so trendy. However, Motorola is making a lot of mistakes by not marketing the device properly and shipping it off "incomplete". Also, the xoom is super expensive...but I am definitely a happy camper! Its perfect for school, play, and among other things. Xoom xoom baby!

NYC is very much an iPad "keeping up with the Jones" kind of place. I can hear the conversation now. "Have you seen the latest iPad, simply incredible, I must have one". "Wilfred will you hold Tootsey so I can run to the Apple Store".
Handguns and Xooms will probably be banned at Starbucks.

Using the note as a handheld phone in public

Since people love to talk about this, I thought a formal comment thread on this topic would be nice.
I was at the marathon today, and with everyone around, I made a very big deal of using the phone in public.
For example, I was using the GPS on my phone and walking around with it in my hand, so I would often hold it to my head and pretend to talk on it, and see if anyone cared. If someone happened to be looking at me, or in my direction, I might look at my phone and then pretend to talk about it.
I'd kind of turn away so they could see what I'm doing, then turn back a little so I can glance at them and see their reaction.
It was brutal. People were running away, Women were screaming, and children were bursting into tears. Someone called the mod squad and I got jailed for causing a public disruption.
Okay, I'm lying. The reality is not one person seemed to care. Seriously. Not one person.
When you hold the phone, I assume the phone is centered in your hand so you don't drop it. That means, for me, two thirds of the phone is covered by my hand. The rest kinda just looks like a shadow. I suppose a white phone would be more noticable.
It's just not an issue, folks. Although, this is new york, and we get everything.
I have always suspected that people will, at first glance, consider it a very unimpressive tablet and immediately lose interest in what you are doing with it.

I always use my Streak in Public as a phone

yeah i think ppl are started to get used to see bigger and bigger screen phone. i dont see anyone seem to bother or care what i am using againt my ear lol

I honestly don't understand why people are making a big deal of talking on this phone, especially compared to other methods. Mind you, I haven't gotten my Note yet, but I would think that it would just be a "Hm, that's a large phone" kind of thing more so than a "why is that guy holding an iPad to his head" kind of thing.
Also, I would rather talk with a large phone to my head than one of the small bluetooth headsets that are popular nowadays, as at least with the big phone its obvious you're on the phone versus the headset which is so small that it looks like you're one of those crazy hobos you see downtown talking to themselves.
On a side note, I am downright astonished that a phone this powerful puts out less of a SAR than the iPhone - 0.16 W/kg vs the iPhone 4's 1.18. Thanks to the lower SAR I'm actually looking forward to swapping to the Note, as my iPhone makes my head feel funny after a few minutes of calling.

Same, I've been a Streak user since Aug of last year, and the Streak is actually longer than the Note, but the Note is a tad wider. My close friends all had a giggle and when new coworkers see it they go "whoa what's that?" but it makes having a niche huge freaking phone fun. If that bugs people, the should probably just get the Galaxy Nexus which is .6" smaller with the same Super AMOLED HD screen. (well 720 vs 800 pixels on the smaller axis, but very close). It's never been a big deal at all, and it fits in all my jeans pockets, though I'm tall (6'3").

For me, the response has changed a little from when I carried the Streak. The SGN actually LOOKS more like a phone than the Streak--probably because the Streak had no visible protruding buttons...People used to say "Is that a PHONE?!!??!"
Now it's..."WOW! That's a big EFIN phone!"

i don't think anyone around really pays enough attention to care that it's an inch or so bigger than a GS2 ... my gf told me i'd look like a dweeb, but i barely take into account what she says anyway lol

It's like a pimple on your chin.
You think it's enormous.
Your friends think it's amusing for 2 minutes.
Most people are more concerned with real life.

Exactly, you folks worry about what others think faaaar too much

The Note is tiddly! Seriously. I spent a good chunk of the last 12 months using my Galaxy Tab 7" as a phone/tablet. Now that is big, and I didn't get arrested once, no matter how I tried .
The Note is a stunted cousin in comparison. No big deal. The ones to mock are those using tiny 3.5" screens as a "smartphone" .

Like I give a rat's ass what other people think about my phone. I wish a MF would say something smart about my Dell Streak or Galaxy Note. They gonna get their feelings hurt messing around with me, lol.

I haven't noticed anyone staring at me when I'm on a call with the Note, but when I sit down and put it on the table in company, it gets everyone's attention and is overwhelmingly positive.
Only one person, after playing with it, said, "To Big".
Mostly people were in awe of the big vivid screen and interested in the s-pen and usually dropped off when I tried to impress them with the specs of dual processor this and GPS satelites that.
One guy said, "That Steve Jobs was a genius".
I didn't bother to correct him that this was not some giant new iphone and that Steve jobs did not invent smart phones, let alone mobile phones.

Samsung loses court case, >$1B

According to USA Today, Samsung lost the vast majority of the substantial patent violation issues in the CA suit with damages of over $1B awarded to Crapple.
Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung is in pretty deep poo just about now. It won't affect OG Epic users, as we are using EOL hardware. But for those of us considering upgrades it might have some impact. I'm thinking long and hard about buying an SGS3 or any other Sammy product right now. They are going to be a mess for at least a year while all of this patent stuff gets worked out.
Anyone else have thoughts on what kind of impact this might have?

I just want to get a Samsung Captive Glide, switch to Net10/Straight Talk, and call it a day. I have no idea what this means as far as downloading or updating apps or updating the system specs or whatever. But that's all I want until the NEXT powerful Android with a keyboard comes out.
Right now I just have the Epic 4G, and when I get $500 I'll get the Captivate Glide. I hope by then nothing hinky happens when I try to activate then unlock it.

The only effect it will have will be Apple's attempt to go after companies like Motorola & HTC. Pinch-to-Zoom is on every android device, I think and they will most likely use this victory to add fuel to their nuke android campaign.
There will be a lot of change to the android software and a lot of change android phone designs that are rectangular.
And last F*** Apple.

As bad as this could be for Samsung, look at it this way, they could come up with something more innovative than apple ever will. Maybe Samsung will be the first manufacturer to use mini-projectors in mobile devices and follow through with those plans. (And patent designs before release)

Well Samsung has been attacking apple for a while on purpose. Look at the adapter module for their chargers looks just like the iPhone Version. And the phone icon looks just like the iOS version. That's about it.No reason to sue its all about advancing technology. I think apple is just trying to get rid of competition. I love Samsung, I love iOS. But I think I'm loosing respect for apple as $1B is a slap in the face. Instead of tearing a company down by suing them. Apple could just make a phone 10X better and Then Samsung would do the same. It would be a continuous loop. That's competition. OH AND APPLE SAMSUUNG PHONES LOOK NOTHINHG LIKE YOUR SMALL 3.5" SCREEN DESIGN.

How much different can a phone icon look and still be recognized as a phone icon? Was apple the first company ever to make something rectangular with rounded edges? Were they the first to make a user interface with squares? How can they patent this stuff and sue over it? Its the most generic stuff. Ridiculous. And they sued their largest partner, who makes about 90% of the components in the iPhone/iPad. Apple seems to be done innovating. They take features from Android and then try to make them sound revolutionary. Then, they sue the companies actually innovating and make their products delayed or taken off shelves. The iPhone 1 was revolutionary and really made the smartphone market the way it is today (everyone has one, not just geeks or business people). But they haven't done anything since then. They've made the camera better, screen a bit better, and changed processor.

Next thing we know they'll add something to the iPhone like a 4 inch screen and an LTE radio and sue over that

Crapple is just scared because theyre riding this iphone garbage train as long as they can. Samsung will surely slam a future product in their faces. Lets face it, without steve jobs, the innovation is over for them.

Samsung made 3.45 Billion in a quarter of 2012. Do you really think they can't handle a 1 billion dollar advertisement? This didn't kill them.

It seems to have pissed off alot of folks who used to like Apple and their stale, monotonous product line. I have three cohorts who converted to Android and Windows phones as a result of this lawsuit crap. And I can't wait till they announce the iPhone 5 and everyone sees what a big "nothing" it is. The iSheep are gonna look like kids who wake up Christmas morning to find a stocking full of coal...

Dont be silly. The iSheeple will look at that piece of coal and harp on how shiny a diamond they have. ROFL!

While it sucks they did lose, I do hope it doesn't result in a takedown of major phones. Samsung has been releasing some interesting stuff, and I really do want to hold out on getting a new one 'till they come out with a new slider. I can't imagine what I'd choose if Samsung's development was hindered because of this stupid ordeal.

Funniest on CL for trading a Note 3

I found this post on CL NY and thought you guys might enjoy it.
Seller picture is epic. Check his wallpaper
http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/mob/4210045975.html
Just in case post goes missing here is a screenshot attached.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lowe0t6s51ejybx/NOTE_3_ATT_Trade__a_deal_you_won_t_refuse_.png
And also a copy/paste of ad:
(Note 3, AT&T, BLACK trade for iPhone 5****, 32GB, BLACK, Sealed!)
Ok fiends check this out.
I've seen a lot of posts on here about this same trade so here are MY rules.
1. Don't down play my Note like the iPhone 5**** is some glorified, advanced piece of equipment with your "even trade + cash" offers. The minute your 5**** can do half the stuff mine does and last twice as long, then we can talk a "+ cash" deal.
2. The Note 3 have yearly releases, not something seasonal like Apple does. So you'll have the latest Note 3 for a whole ****ing year. Your 5**** will probably be outdated by the Spring.. but you know this already.
3. My batteries lasts me a whole day and I'm a Banker. I live on my phone. You're on FB and IG and it only runs for 4 hours before you need to pull out you short-corded charger to get some life back in your iPhone 5****.
4. Let's be honest for a minute and admit that Apple died with Steve Jobs. I get it, you still have "Hope"..but this isn't Cancer and you're not Steve Jobs, Apple is dying. Be smart with your investments and admit that Samsung is now leading in technology with super advanced products.
To conclude, my Note 3 is better than your iPhone 5**** but I am willing to do a special person the favor and exchange my precious, mint, not a single scratch on the screen phone for your piece of crap iPhone 5**** SEALED! Yes. And proof of receipt. Other than that, I am perfectly happy with my phone, can live with my phone until Apple releases a new one. It's your choice.
My Note will come with the box, case, new screen protector and charging cord, and the s-pen tips with the pen included.
Email me, serious inquiries only.

He's right about this - "Apple died with Steve Jobs".

I'm confused if his gn3 is so rad why doest he want an "I ****"?

Perhaps he wants a phone that fits in his pocket. I'm not hating on the n3 but it'll be entering our family because my wife wants it. I'd personally go s4 but even that's abnormally large now that I think of it does Samsung have a high powered small device?

Try the mini and active series.
That ad was classic, I wonder many people trolled him though...
This prob belongs in the n3 ot section though.

That was funny. As for fitting in the pocket, I sometimes forget that the phone is in my pocket, it's soo thin.

Big? When I'm not using the N3 it's in its holster. Hardly notice it unless I'm buckling the seatbelt in the driver's seat.
If I'm in a situation where I'm on and off it, it's in my shirt pocket. With my glasses, pen and usually a couple of other little things. (And, no, I don't have shirts with mailbags sewn on.)
But when I need a large screen, or a fast CPU, or loads of storage (not even counting the SD card), I have it.
The original CL listing was from NY? Makes me a bit ashamed to have come from NY.

Lol I'm from Syracuse, grew up in Minoa until I was about 5, I still have family that live in Fayetteville. My mom was telling me she went shopping there a few weeks ago. I used to go to the Fayetteville mall when I was a kid before it turned into a car dealership or whatever, ate at the friendlys at least once a month and used to feed the Ducks and birds and **** at the little town pond thing. Lol learned how to swim at Green lakes. Lol got a lot of roots there. Real pretty little town.
Nice to see a fellow CNY'er here.

I don't understand, if the iPhone sucks so much then why would you want to trade for one? Maybe he just regrets his choice?

Wow...how is this satirical Craigslist add missed by so many of you smart dudes?
