I had a go on iphone 4 yesterday lol

This thread is a bit of a waste really but i just thought i would share my opinion !
well my sister came around yesterday and started flashing her new ipony4 about, so i grabbed it and had a play and at first glance I liked it over the old 3gs, the screen res for a smaller screen than my hd2 was impressive but then my sister start telling them all the problems she is having with it in the last 2 weeks oh how i laughed !!! ha ha
but getting back to me playign about with it it wasnt even 5mins later i was borrrrrred to death with it !!!!!!
I cannot work out for the life of me what the big fashionation is with the iphone! I think its like marmite, you either love it or hate it and I Hate it!!!!

Same with me.
Work colleague got it recently and must admit screen does look impressive, much better clarity than older models.....but that is basically it, there are no other new features that impressed me despite how much she tried to show it off
ha - also they are paying £50/month plus £15/month insurance 18m contract............and they also had to pay money towards handset...........I am not kidding! oh yeah, and she had to buy a case for it in order to use it for its most basic of functions, calling people.
They said to me, "Aren't you tempted by it?"
"Lol I pay half that for a phone I got 8 months ago which is still better in every way"

Its all down to how they have had it advertised, as with all Apple products.
There not mind blowing, just cleverly advetised.

I don't think I'd ever want to go back to a smaller sized screen. The new iPhone may have a better resolution or clearer screen or whatever, but it's still small.

I know what you all mean - once I've had my leo, I cant seem to like anything else. Besides, the HD2 has come a loonng way since it came out. With the amazing job that people here at XDA are doing, I'm now thinking this phone is 100 times better! I've just flashed my latest ROM after not having an HD2 for a few weeks and everything is so smooth like butter! If I compare my phone now with a stock HD2 it will look like I'm using different phones, it's amazing!

I have to agree, I'm so used to my hd2 that whenever I use my ipod touch, I get frustrated with the size. Especially the keyboard!

Hilarious, I nearly fell off my chair.
This just about wraps it up.
Like said earlier its all advertising hype. They did a fantastic job selling the "basic" 3GS model & then totally screwed up by trying to step it up a notch.
I think the way iphone's been sold is by having people convinced (without actually saying so) that apple are actually pioneers in the big/touch screens.

completely agreed. all the way. and because of this, some people think its "magical" <--- WTF!

So I hate this Blackberry I'm on...

So for those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen, my Evo, long story short got stolen yesterday before my Calculus III class. So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]
Evo >>>>>>> Blackberry. There should be more >>>, but we get the point.

Well I don't think I've committed anything worthy of forum greatness personally, but perhaps. They could have found, it but of course being me, my gps was off. Had a bad esn placed on it and temporarily deactivated it though.

Yeah that is a bummer! As far as all the 'find my -' apps go, are there any that can have GPS ENABLED by instruction / a message?
Again, total bummer.

Depending on the rom you use, some of the sense roms that are sense 2.0 based have a phone finder built in. Blackberry isn't bad, it's a business phone. It's not made to be flashy, it's just made to work. I don't like it since it doesn't fit my wants in a smartphone, but hey it does what it's made to do.

I completely agree, and that's exactly why I hate it; it doesn't fit what I need it to do in a smartphone. And I'm still kinda ticked that I can only have 1 alarm...and I have 2 different class times on m/w and t/th so changing it daily is a pain.

Yeah have found one that says it can remotely enable GPS and one stating that if off it can use network location. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough. That or it has been so long thought it wasn't likely. Damn, posts like these always get me thinking about having my phone stolen. Bummer.

I hear you man. i have one for work and am not a fan. it works perfectly with a corporate server and all that, but it's damn near worthless as a civilian phone.

I can relate. I have a curve that work gave me. A lot of my friends have BBM, so I end up typing on that and I HATE it. i don't bother correcting typos b/c there are way to many with my fingers hitting like 50 keys at once. Good to know about the new alarm thing. That was bugging me too.

funny as blackberry os 6.0 is pretty awesome. i don't like blackberries much but my wife loves hers. she hates touchscreens. i even had to but her that new flip blackberry sprint has, she wanted nothing to do with an evo or android.

Throw a hybrid OS on it. Just download any BB OS, then go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion (RIM)...then extract the folder named "Java" and play around with the .cod modules.
I built hybrid OS's for years before I found Android.

Interesting...I may try that. Though I am only on this till I get me evo, and this is technically my sister's phone, so I may not, out of respect.

Sucks you got your evo stolen I returned my evo I got from sprint by using my upgrade the other day, waiting for the one I bought from Ebay now But in the meantime I am using a Blackberry curve, I hate this thing! For one its boring, the keypad is tiny, no angry birds, lol. I tried to make my wife take it, that only lasted on day though, lol. She calls it a blueberry and has been walking around the house saying "no evo no evo", now my kids have joined her! grrrrrr Hurry up mailman! I feel your pain

I have a 13 year old daughter, I offered to buy her the shift for an upgrade, she said shes just fine with her BB curve

Here in India, Samsung is going bonkers with advertising campaign for note. You see it every day on almost all satellite channels. It has reached the point where people have actually started to recognise the phone in public. Everyone knows its Note.
Kinda feel bad as its not something rare or unknown beast that surprises people anymore.

Lat time I traveled in Europe I had three! One for my Oz account with my email / WiFi & contacts, one for my UK / Europe account (because Oz account charge a fortune over there in most countries), and one Sat Phone for use when I was at sea in the Med.
It got so bad I almost gave it all up and went of a Sat Phone all the time, but the reception is useless inside any building.

My neighbors jaw dropped lookin @ my phone..

Funny, I keep explaining to others comparing the same with iPhone, for me its my first Android phone, and I am running ICS and end up showing stuffs pretty much and there will be a crash or something crazy..!! lolz, though after two days I feel other phones are so tiny.

Now imagine this: i show my note and everyone asks:" how much did it cost? " and i simply say:" it was free... Won it in a contest on Stuff.tv site"
And everyone thinks this: Damn you bastard... I never win anything!
And guess what? I already made new friends because of it LOL

The only stranger who ever gave my Note more than a moment's glance was a guy I was sitting beside in a seminar. I was using it both to take notes and record audio, while he was using his GS2 to record, and one of the Galaxy Tabs (I think 8.9) to take notes. He was looking over to it constantly, surely with the thought that it must be a great combination of the two devices.
As far as non-strangers are concerned, my wife (an iPhone 4 user) is jealous about damn near everything I've shown her on it. She might end up with the pink or white Note.

I was really surprised with the amount of positive feedback that people gave to the note, including iPhone users etc.
Something interesting I noticed was that at my campus there seem to be a lot of folks with a phone+iPad or phone+playbook or any other tablet etc. (even my gf falls into this category). It just seems sort of silly to me to carry around two devices everywhere.
To be fair, though, I would never use the Note as a primary note-taking device, and have definitely seen iPad users use their devices for this purpose. Like some other users have mentioned, a 6" screen would be just fine in my book, as long as it still made calls.
However, if I didn't have a stereo bluetooth headset I would notice the size of it when using as an actual phone much more...

Ha. How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

Yesterday my friends made jokes about exactly this situation all evening long - and yet could'nt resist to playing arround with it. It got the attention from both Galaxy (SI & SII) and iPhone users...

I'm ditching the 4S for the Galaxy Note

Wish me luck.
It's going to be shipped within 5-6 Business days (maybe earlier)
I've gone android before, but it was the HTC Vivid. Then I switched back to the 4S.
It looks pretty sweet.
From the reviews I've read, it's 1) fast 2) amazing screen --- OH BABY, NETFLIX! 3) a joy to game on
Looks very promising.
The only thing I'm scared of is holding it up to take a call in public LOL

don't be afraid hold your head high and hold the bad boy to your ear, show the world you have real taste in phones and are not part of some apple fan boy flock who will buy anything because it has a i at the start of its name....

Congratulations on your new purchase, and welcome back to Android, we've been expecting you.
Did you not at least go to the store and try one out first, just to make sure it would be the right fit for you and was not too big?
I am sure you will love it. And you have nothing to be afraid of when using the Note in public to make calls, just own it, like a boss.

Congrats! Welcome to the fun side!

I'd really appreciate it if you didn't insult me (I'm grouped into the Apple crowd). Just because someone buys Apple and likes them doesn't automatically mean they are a 'mindless iSheep' or such. I own a Note and an iPhone and love both Android and iOS and couldn't live without either one. I would appreciate it if you weren't so closed minded about OSes and technology (ie. not a blind Android-Fan-Apple-Hater)

Seen a woman with a cm9 nexus s

Today I was at Rite Aid buying ice cream when the lady in front of me had her phone go off. At first I had thought nothing of it, until I recognized that it was the new CM9 ringtone that says "cyanogenmod" then brecks off into dubstep lalaland.
My point is she did not look like the type that would be into mobile hacking.
My theory is either her son or husband touches her phone, OR our little society is growing
Have any of you seen other Cyanogenmoded phones in the wild?

Never. One of my friends had a se x8 (yes its an ancient two years old model). Apart from his sms, contacts and few mp3, the phone rom is literally like its just came fresh from factory. No game, no apps, no nothing. Hell even the market wasnt activated yet, and theres no goggle account linked to that phone. Thats how i realize we the geeks are still minority among masses.

One time, I heard the default CM6 notification tone (Pixie Dust) at a mall and got all excited that someone else was using a modded Android device... But it turned out that the notification came from mine. XD
I know a couple of tech people (a developer and an IT guy), even, who refrained from modding their phones because they didn't see a compelling reason for it.
I've encountered a number of second-hand devices (HTC G1, LG G2X, and HTC Sensation 4G) that were all modded by their previous caretakers, though. The mod versions weren't up to date, and one of them had stability issues, but there they were. I suppose it's possible that people who resell their devices tend to be enthusiasts?

i saw a nexus s in westfield carphone warehouse (london)
with a "do you want to unlock the bootloader screen" i was like
i went back next week to find cm7 on it.... a show phone... in a massive shop.. in Europe's largest shopping center
how is that possible LOL

Hey, somes guys i know are jealous because my phone is rooted, running cm9. Some if them come to see me for advices. I'm addicted to flash, tried different kernel. I cannot sait to get home to see what you guys have to say and tried. Somes of my nights are less boring because of XDA.
I'm in the fortys french canadian.
This world is really amazing sometimes!
I don't write often because I'm shy but your post made me laugh.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for your hard work and dedication

I hacked my sisters vibrant to run AOSP ICS and when she pulled it out to tether from it, one of the members of her club noticed and showed her his rooted nexus s.
Edit: btw my sister tethers between 20 and 60 gb a month on AT&T, unthrottled.
Oh and a few members of my fraternity are also flashaholics like me.

Today I was at Rite Aid buying ice cream when the lady in front of me had her phone go off. At first I had thought nothing of it, until I recognized that it was the new CM9 ringtone that says "cyanogenmod" then brecks off into dubstep lalaland.
My point is she did not look like the type that would be into mobile hacking.
My theory is either her son or husband touches her phone, OR our little society is growing
Have any of you seen other Cyanogenmoded phones in the wild?

You can extract it from a CM9 nightly build, it's in system/media/audio/ringtones/CyanTone.ogg.

Whoa... That is amazing! If only more stores showed off what these devices were truly capable of, then I daresay they'll attract more informed customers. Though... Given that those of us who mod are used to looking online to learn how to do it ourselves, I guess it might not make so much of a difference in practice. ^^;
Still really cool to see it being flaunted by a major store though.

No she seemed to be in a rush. But I do remember what she had bought, soap & candy.
And on my way out I saw her driving away in a Diesel Jetta.

I know a couple of tech people (a developer and an IT guy), even, who refrained from modding their phones because they didn't see a compelling reason for it.

That's me. I keep my bootloader locked and my firmware unrooted because root doesn't really provide me anything that I need. I've never really been into the whole custom ROM thing for a lot of reasons. So really, the only reason for me to root is because I can. Not a compelling reason in my book.
I'm happy just keeping my phone straight stock. The stock ROMs are generally very stable even if that comes at the cost of performance.

Talking bout that, why we never see a woman here in xda...

The same reason you never see guys on a cross-stitch forum. Generally, most women I've met just aren't interested in this kind of stuff.
