I love to hate iphone too, but a little more substance wouldn't go astray.
What I hate; those stupid insulting ads.
If you don't have an iphone, maybe you have something better, like a GNote running Android!

iPhone 4 camera suffers from the 'splodge'.

I thought it would be interesting to share that it seems like the iPhone 4 suffers also from a far from perfect camera, in this video it appears to have a nasty blue hue in the center of the video.
This isn't intended as an iPhone 4 bashing thread, so please don't waffle on about how you hate the iPhone, it was just an interesting observation I thought I'd share.
There's also a problem with the antenna in the new iPhone.
Let's face it: there is just no perfect phone! ;-)
I am sure that there are plenty of forums for iPhone users to discuss the faults of their phone - so I think that is where this thread should be.
I will show no schadenfreude at the iPhone's problems. As much as I don't like the total control of Apple, they did revolutionise the mobile phone interface.
ugh! Pee stains. I guess someone left a surprise from foxconn. =P

I disagree, my Nokia 8210 works perfectly and has a battery life which has to seen to believed lol.
I do think it's a 'sign of the times' companies are just 'pushing the envelope' instead of evolving exsisting technology to perform more efficiently. It does make for very interesting tech though .
How??
Camera and reception problems!!!!!
I wonder how r they gonna fix those???

This is just brilliant, Steve Jobs, I salute you!
I've been hearing about the problems with the signal for the last couple of days.
It would appear that Apple are not satisfied with just telling Developers what and how to develope apps for their phone but now they feel the need to tell the end customer how to use the phone as well lol.
A more appropriate name for the iPhone 4 would have been 'iCommunist 4' lol.
On a side note, if the drop in signal is caused by the users hand conductivity, I would suggest just coating the effected area of the phone in a clear lacquer and this should resolve the issue.

Omg, that is simply amazing! Steve even tells you how to hold the phone correctly, "Just avoid holding it in that way." ROFL!
What gets me is how review after review continue to rave how great the new iphone is without a whisker of a thought as to the negatives.
Its time that reviewers got of their high horse and thoroughly reviewed the iphone worts and all.
But wait....its steve jobs baby so any negative would see a defamation case against reviewer...
Not to bash iphone or anything but did you guys hear the crap with that photons thing on the camera technology in new iphone..
The apple fans would have been salivating big time with that hoopla from jobs...
but wait.....
Jobs now wants iphone 4 users to hold their gem in a unique aficionado way...what next?
Simplest solution of mine: DO NOT OWN IT, SO WON'T TOUCH IT AT ALL.
Now, HTC, when will you guys release the GSM version of the Evo 4G, quick!

You do realize this is a HD2 forum, right? And what does this have to do with the HD2? And you say you don't want to hear about people hating the iphone, yet you post this in a WinMo phones forum, where most people probably either hate the iphone or don't care.
It's a bit silly to hate a phone isn't it?

There have been many a topic on the iPhone in this forum, and low and behold here is another one. I was intregued that the camera also had a splodge as does the HD2. Not interested? Don't post, very simple.

"There's an app for that...."
Got an officemate who was showing off his "upgraded" 3GS with multitasking. Just told them I already had that about 10 yrs ago with my Orang Tanager Windows Mobile. He wasn't even sure if he could close the running apps or just hide it.
My gf walked past the Apple store in Milton Keynes yesterday.
They had barriers outside to cope with 70-80 people.
There was 1 person in the queue!
The shop was open and had only about 10 people inside (including staff) but like an unpopular nightclub, they were forcing people to wait outside in a failed attempt to look like they were busy
What a bargain...

This is exactly what apple fanbois are like. Trying to convice me that my features that they don't have ate handicaps like video chat over cellular and removable battery. And the limitations of the iPhone 4 are features like the lack of customization and crippled multi tasking. Urgh you can't have a rationale discussion with those people.

I know what you mean. I ended up returning up my Evo yesterday, after going back to ATT and iPhone 4. I really liked the hardware of the Evo, I really love android, but Sprint near me is just a joke. I was getting awful 3G speed, and when the phone would hold onto 4G, which was very rare, the speeds werent too great. I really miss the Evo, and if the phone had a good network to support it, and some of the bugs were cleaned up, I really believe it'd be a better phone than my iPhone4. That said, the iPhone just works, and I can see why a lot of people are attracted to that.
can't say it was very funny.

Vote for Galaxy S

Its right now going against the EVO...obviously Galaxy S is winning but EVO is catching up so might as well insure victory >.>

Polldaddy.. really? That poll site can easily exploited and rig votes. I won't say how though. Even though "MacGuy2006" is a mac guy, he speaks the truth in regards to the poll being meaningless.
Seems meaningless to me. Palm pre beat Nexus One which beat the iPhone 3GS. Xperia X10 beat the Desire. Wtf?

Count me in for a SGS vote. I love my phone. Since I got this thing, doing the typical showing it off when I get a chance and have converted 6 iPhone users to android.
Got my vote in for that beautiful Galaxy S.
Overall the voting is just meaningless. If anything, it should be a legitmate voting process with email confirmation with IP based on mobile operating systems. All these phones are Android, who cares if they beat another Android phone? The real competitor is iOS.

I've converted 3 people over to Galaxy S, one from Sprint's Palm Pre the other from Verizon's BlackBerry Storm. The other was already on T-Mobile so not much convincing there.

Point proven Guess I'll just say it... the exploit is that Polldaddy saves the data that you voted already in a cookie. So if you cleared your cookies then you can simply revote.
That's why I find this vote to be a joke if its primary voting system is Polldaddy.
Well at least android/vibrant users can look more dedicated.

*News* Atrix 4G as good as Iphone 4S (Results from "Stiftung Warentest")

Hello Atrix users. Actually I cant't call myself an owner of an Atrix, but I saw this interesting test of germanys most importand recognized product testing foundation. They've tested and compared several smartphones and therefore, the Iphone is placed 1. marked with "2.0", which is like "B" in the US. But it has to share its 1. place with the Atrix. Moto's device was marked with "2.0" also. This is just the opinion of the news corespondent. I think, the Iphone has to share its 1. place with such a great device.
Im confused...what am I doin' here? I don't even own an Atrix.

On the official Website you have to pay to see test results. Here's a link to a german newspage with the report I was talkin about. I hope you do understand the language. If you don't, just post the needed part and I'll translate it analogously.

The Atrix is "as good" as the 4S? Pfft, it takes the cake in MANY ways... #1 NO ITUNES!!! That alone makes it 10x better than any Iphone or apple product. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate any more, we all know why we have Atrix's and not iFails...

If you let it translate by "translate.google.xxx" some parts of the report will not make sense because you can't translate german into english directly.

Word! But the thing which is hated by Android users is not the hardware. It must be admittet their hardware is...quite awesome. What we hate is (I just guess) their methods and their spamminglike lawsuits against samsung and htc. In your case, it's Itunes.
This statement doesn't mean I like Apple. Oh god, NO! I can't stand any kind of hardware on which I can see an apple. Last time I had an apple device in my hands it has ended in a brutal fight between the Iphone 3gs, my new desk and the sledgehammer of my uncle...it was the Iphone of my ex...she has cheated on me...she called me "psychotic", so I tried to make a call on her phone with a hammer, obviously it didn't work.

android > apple, at least for me it is! and i agree, itunes totally suck monkey butts.

Samsung seriously needs an english speaker: Update - Mr.Bean looking dude wasn't bad.

I love samsung to death because they deserve it bringing year after year, great products. But their speakers are freakin bad. JK Shin had a great speech, I agree but at a snails pace.... And the other chick needs some serious pronunciation lessons. WTF samsung hire some damn speakers. It seriously takes away from the product announcement.
apple will sue the hell outta them before launch. that design is a blatant ripoff of the iphone 6.
I don't even like the design tbh. I'll have to see it in person. This is because Samsung has given me the Note 4, what I consider to be the best looking phone to date.
ps - oh wow a new lady speaker that also needs help... she looks like some male warrior. cmon samsung cmon....

M9 is already a flop. Even comparing the Two announcemnts you can tell Samsung S6 is a much better phone. With the latest EMMC, best screen. Just wait till full review and these htc boys will wanna hide somewhere. The thing is HTC is BROKE... they can't really do RnD... why everything is a replay from last year mostly.
