"stereotypical iPhone user"
I almost peed myself. LOL
I'd say they're both equally annoying.
iPhone people are idiots and refuse to see anything but Lord Jobs. We Android fanboys are just as bad, we're more informed, but we think Android is the only way.
It's definitely about even IMO

But Android is the only way! UGH!
Despite the fact that fanboydom isn't exactly the smartest choice, I would say that Android fanboys are better just because we don't ignore glaring problems with things.
Most Android fanboys would agree that the Droid X is horrible because of the locked bootloader and eFuse bull*stuff*.
On the other hand, most iPhone fanboys conveniently do not notice problems.
Still, fanboydom in general is not good, especially if the fanboy/girl doesn't KNOW (or won't accept that) they are a fanboy/girl. Personal acknowledgement of such a thing allows for healthier thinking.
Also, shouldn't it be a Linux shell, not a DOS command 'field' (considering how Android runs on a Linux kernel)? :/
douchebags are douchebags....you don't need a phone to make you one. Apple has more users therefore they have more douchebags. Android users are just a more vocal crowd so their douchebags stick out more.

Android fanboys are not nearly as vocal as Apple fanboys.
Dig up an old benchmark thread showing the evo getting stomped and tell me android fanbois aren't as bad as apple.

Haha I couldn't have said it better myself.
I think fanboys of any kind are annoying. I'm not a big fan of Apple as a company, but I'll admit, the iPhone is just a better phone for some people. For me, I need a little for hackability and openness in my phone, so android is the clear choice for me. Personally, I think it is pretty awesome we are at a place where there are a ton of different, awesome phones to fill everyone's needs.

THIS!
I just might put this in my Sig.
I'm neither. I hate Apple but always test out their new products and give them a fair chance.
I think Android has its flaws but were doing a great job of fixing them..
Who cares what others think. Just use what works for you...
I'll chime in here. And I'm using the term "fanboys" only for convenience, no offense to either side.
In my experience, Apple fanboys are vehemently tied to their brand, and I think it's an obvious form of elitism coupled with the fact that they paid too much for a device that's "idiot proof." They know how to turn it on and use the basic functions, but beyond that they're at the mercy of the Genius Bar. But if something does go wrong, there is usually very little complaining from inside the community. It's brought to light by reviewers and outsiders saying "why would you put up with that?"
Android fanboys, on the other hand, tend to be more in-tune with their devices and really want to know how they work. But when they don't work, they flood the forums and the manufacturers' inboxes with reports and complaints. They also depend on a much broader open-source community to maintain and enhance the system as a whole. It's still elitist, but more in the way that Linux users are cocky because they tend to know their system much more intimately, as opposed to Apple users who, in large part, can barely handle one button on their phone.
Apologies to both sides if I've offended anybody. There are exceptions on both sides.
I am an Android Fan, I hate Apple, not because is apple, i just dont like how they run things(they like a big monopoly), Android I love because Google,(open-source)( always have prefer google over yahoo, lolz).I would say one thing, apple fanboys are not that smart, if they use a android phone they will say, is to hard i dont understand it.
You know it's not so much the apple fanboys that get to me it's the nasty by-products of their fandom. Like If my EVO gets mistaken for a iphone one more freakin time.... I usually just say no it's something better a android!
fanboys are the reason I never stick to a forum...Ive had 3 accounts here I think. Get annoyed of fanboys leave, comeback forget user/pass, annoyed of fanboys, leave comeback forget user/pass. Also the reason I only have 2 posts on this account cause I have to sensor myself....haha
well, both sides have pros and cons. at least we're not apple users sucking on the teet waiting for our updates to fix our software that tells us we have more reception then we actually do.... at least we can take it on ourselves to fix the problems that other devs might have missed. we have our cake and eat it too, and oh is it soooooo gooooood!!
Another big difference I have noticed is that when apple fanboys ask about an accessory they expect to be able to go and buy one.
Android fanboys will suggest that they make whatever they want.
Just a funny observation I noticed

I have been following the HD2 for some months now and to be honest I want to have its babies.
In all that time there always seems to be a small but very vocal minority who seem to be on a “This Phone is crap, its 3 million % slower than Phone X, O MY GOD what has HTC done”
To be honest I am starting to wonder if there is some kind of anti HTC HD2 movement going on, so please guys if you don’t like the HD2 fine just please GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
And no I am not a fan boy living in pink fluffy world; in fact I have just had the pleasure of an hour of one on one time with the Retail unit and its sooooooo good. There is no lag, the screen is great and it is clearly, in my mind, the best phone this year and possibly next year as well.
Now I know that not all of you will agree with me, that’s fine but please give the HD2 bashing a rest or at least wait until you have personal tested one and have something constructive to say.
+1 Fed up of seeing people who havent got the phone speculating on poor performance etc.
.
and another +1
It is and will be a great phone. Nothing is perfect thou.
If you want the perfect phone then I am sure someone is releasing a phone in a months time that will be guaranteed a market leader for 10 years and deliver 34 days talk time and 8" screen in a 2" body.
From my point of view I had no problems putting my $$ on the table. I also owned the Touch HD and found it was also a great phone. One of the reasons I upgraded is that fact that the prev phone met my expectations and more than happy to repeat the cycle.
If you have a problem then please feel free to buy an alternative solution and contribute to another forum.
Thanks
+1 from an owner ANd ive even owned an Iphone before lol. Great for me
I've had my HD2 for two days. A few niggles, but so far it's the best fcukin phone I've ever used...
Sadly there are a lot of self centred whiners and crybabies ouut there who believe that they deserve to have HTC design a phone exclusively for them, and see anything else as a personal attack and attempt at rape on them from HTC. The logic of "if you don't like it, STFU and GTFO" is sadly missed by these dregs of humanity.
I just wish that they'd get lost and take their "omg someone told me it doesn't realy have a capacitive screen and it plays videos at 4% full speed and omg does it have a battery and will it work in america" asking the same question over-and-over-and-over-and-over idiot friends with them.

Well, I think that all the people bashing HTC HD2 are just jealous that they cannot afford it...
I've got mine on order (should be coming today or tomorrow) and after reading this thread I just cannot wait for it to arrive. As always with a new device you get fanboys of other devices that can't wait to bash it but you can usually tell these from people who actually own the phone or have had time with it.

Well, that was kind of my point: I do like the phone. I may well buy one. You only think I hate it because you are a crazed, rabid HTC fan-boy and you mentally classify everyone who is anything less than a crazed, rabid HTC fan-boy, including balanced moderates, as being at the extreme negative end of the love/hate spectrum. You remind me of George W Bush ("you are either with us or against us"); in reality there are quite a wide range of possibilities in between, and most sensible people are placed somewhere along that continuum, between the two extremes. As Obi-Wan Kenobi observed, "only a sith deals in absolutes".

Do you want to talk about your problem(s)?
Seriously I think the main cause of the negativeness are the new techniques of the device. For example you just have to get used to the capacitive screen, only responding to your finger. Furthermore it's the first version of the new WM6.5, it still isn't perfect (but hopefully will be soon!).
But after three days I'm loving it more by the minute!
Mr Shasarak I have been expecting you, welcome.
Fanboy, me?
Well I am a fan of this phone and yes I am male so I guess I am a fanboy. Self deluded HTC lover nope sorry.

I agree on all of the above. I was going to say, at one point, "at least I don't have to put duct tape on my phone to call people" xD, but decided to leave that out. And - another thing - even a Jailbroken iPhone is barely customizable. It was late and I didn't want to mention that, because I would have stayed up for another hour arguing with him. I would have, too, if it wasn't so late. xD
It makes me laugh when Apple fanboys say that a Mac can run Windows 7. Then why the f*** did you get a mac? lol. I've stopped arguing with Apple fanboys for the reason that britoso mentioned.

The iPad is too bulky, imo. I'd rather carry around my laptop. And I do.
And Mac's aren't that bad, they got some super sweet media editing software, that I love using. But still.
I have no qualms with any Mac computer...I think the OS is slick...I'm just real nitpicky and I honestly hate the lil dock bar (good for looks, but nothing more, give me a taskbar anyday over a dock bar) and I also LOATH the finder bar...give me the menu in EACH and EVERY app...many other things I just don't like...and many things it does indeed do better though...I do not like the explorer either...(same with Ubuntu btw, but that's customizable to an extent so a non issue)
The main appeal of Android IMO is it's desktop like feel....Especially with ADW or LauncherPro installed...no sea of icons can beat that IMO.
I love that everyone thinks they're "a hacker" because they can complete a three-click jailbreak.
Although I will say that the same applies on the Android side. Rooting and flashing a custom ROM based on instructions found on the internet doesn't make anyone a hacker either. The hackers are the ones that did it first.
Well, Technically, all a Hacker is, is someone who is taking something and making it do something that it wasn't meant to do. And android was meant to do bloody well everything. So there's not much hacking going on here, is there ;D
Yea I'm still new to Android but I was able to whip up heavily customized versions of the latest Windows Mobile build in no time. Even Windows Mobile gives you more choices when it comes to user interface and tasks.... it just runs ****ty and ugly (although the later builds are coming around).
Nothing beats Android though. I tell all my friends and family that have iPhones that "Android is like an iPhone on crack"
Wow.
Just wow.
p.s. (It's just a phone you have no stake in)

Ok, maybe bad analogy but this commercial will have naive people thinking this phone is water-proof.

Nice commercial; they're realizing that the average consumer doesn't need to be blown away by specs and CG graphics to buy the product. I hope they make more that showcase the qualities of the phone but they are heading in the right direction.
I fail to see how Moto continuously makes the spec oriented adds for the Xoom when Apple is winning the hearts of many with it's emotionally attached and "awe inspiring" commercials of the iPad 2.

well that's kinda simple...
the Tech oriented commercials are trying to attract the geeky / nerdy cloud of consumers (Us here people on forums)
the Awe, Cute, Funny, Nice, etc type commercials are aimed to the regular home user that knows nothing about the phone, they just want something that looks great, and works, and fully packed with features they don't even use.
and Samsung is doing well in the 2nd type of commercials

I know this, but as you can see with the sales numbers, the Xoom isn't selling THAT well. People are quick to forget that "we" make up a small percentage of the market and that isn't where companies need to advertise.
Think about it, how many people who actually know what those specs mean wouldn't already know about the Xoom? The point of a commercial isn't to advertise to your target audience (of course it is, in a way) because we are already "sold".
With new products like these, they should be going for the average Co sumer, one who doesn't know about the tablet and is wondering why they should get that over the iPaD.

The one saving grace is that it's pretty clear the current patent system that dates back to George Washington in 1790 is clearly broken as it applies to technology. Should Apple start abusing their horde of patents to eliminate competition leaving them as the only purveyor of functioning smartphones and tablets governments worldwide will intervene. It's already started with Judge Posner throwing out the Apple v. Motorola case in Chicago with prejudice calling it "ridiculous" based on lack of or concocted damages. If Apple wins the Samsung case in California they'll lose anyway. It'll be the beginning of a massive move toward patent reform because in a democratic society you don't let one manufacturer control an entire industry whether their patents entitle them to or not.
Patent reform needed...
Old news, a repost and a lot of misleading and wrong information. Good job trying to direct traffic to your site thought, you could have just asked.
Do any of Google's newly acquired patents from Moto have any teeth against Apple?

International patents? No. Wouldn't worry unless the US succeeds with there Anglo/American Corporate Fascist NWO.
Does nothing but makes Apple look bad and the US.
Sick of the US fear movement, move along! Nothing to worry about but more madness from the madhouse. Civil war again soon so enjoy the continuing mad stage show of Barry Soetoro the Manchurian CIA sock puppet of the 0.001 percent Lastly, Apple isn't that far up the US gov ass. It avoids paying a **** load of tax. That's a positive for Google. Also forgetting Google is like FB, it's sponsored by intelligence. The government isn't going to ban all these spy tools snooping for them!

How exactly does Apple have patents for things they didn't invent? Oh, wait, I remember now, theft.
I'm not sure that Apple CAN be granted patents for technology that already existed - smartphones have been around far longer than the iPhone, despite what the Apple folks would have us believe and I had phones that were doing these sorts of things long before Apple came along.
The law may be an ass, but I don't think it's a complete tool.

Really funny how it's only Samsung and Samsung made devices that are on the hit list so far....
Though if they drag google into it then ALL android devices will be affected... Will be funny to see how this will pan out as before it was Apple (America - LA) vs Samsung (Korea) and Apple won, now it will be Apple vs Google (both America based) and that might be a fairer match...
Apples litigation only alienates consumers. I for one will never purchase another product from them no matter how good it is.
They should try competing with products instead of competing in the court room.
I mean after sometime you just lose respect - they are in news for these court cases lately. If they had put this much energy in improving their own product(s), they wouldn't have to fall back on "retina" every time a new (really ?) product was released..
Apple says everything. Whine, whine, whine...

Apple: if you can't innovate, litigate.
Yes Apple feel Samsung is catching up and also overtaking them in innovations in cell phones so they are taking the easy way out they already were embarresed by a UK court and their appeals are not in good shape in US also with bans lifted on Tab so I think they are going insane.
I never used to dislike Apple so much, but every time they pull out another lawsuit it just makes me want to convert everyone to Android.

I think Apple are feeling threatened. 30 million SG3's sold. Several million Note 1 and 2's sold.
Trouble is, it makes people curious about Samsung products. I know several people that used to be Apple fans that are now Android owners, more to the point SG3 owners.

Good advertising for Samsung and Apple just look like little *****es who go running to the courts everytime a bigger better toy is released....
I mean, they pretty much, in their last court case, said that Samsung is the same as them just cheaper... I too know a few people who shifted to Android because of the attention Apple put on Samsung products...

I've converted 4 apple users to android and hopefully they can convert some more.
Girlfriend was reluctant but a hand me down gs2 from me did the trick. She on the gs3 now and iPhone 4 is a distant memory.
Well, as a matter of fact Android and Sammy-phones ARE better than Apple-CrAppel-Crap, and I am DEFINITELY NOT a tech-religious.
I had Motorola, I had Compaq iPaq, I had NOKIA with Symbian, I had HTC with WinCE, I have now Android, and when Win8 prooves to be fitting to my personal needs more than Android I will move on.
I had one iPad, and I put it away after 2 weeks since it prooved to be absolutely worthless for my personal needs in every respect starting with the stupid keyboard.
CrApple is not tech, it is religion, and we KNOW what misery most religions brought over the world in the past and now, and Apple is on his holy Jihad against rationality .......................
Apple is a wining kid who instead of fighting hard believes in loosing and crying over it and does not want to try again and win instead it believes in crying and wining over and over again
Watch out apple farmers everywhere.... You might be next....
Honestly, the way Apple's going you're going to have to pay $1 everytime you say Apple.... Bugger, might have given them a new idea... :silly::laugh:

Samsung should just man up and stop selling components to Apple.
