- There was a droid sitting on my desk-- it was an Acer Liquid E. I grabbed it for the day. I've never used a droid before.
Nice looking phone and all. As a LONG time BB user and a recent iphone fan (ip4), I can definately say that the droid has its own unique feel and way about it.
This isn't a trashing, cause I can respect almost any phone from any manufacturer, even if it isn't for me. So flamers save your flames please.
That being said-- i was very uncomfortable in that phone.
I just picked up my ip4 to do my nightly crackberry reading and I appreciate it ten fold. I've never met an OS that could do so much yet remain so simple, I could explain it to an eighty year old.... And they'd get it!

week or so of use with those phones that it made me appreciate my iPhone 4 as
well. Android is one helluva OS and have really awesome phones. But the ease of
use with my iPhone is the best for me. Even using the browser seemed simpler on
my iPhone than it did on those other phones.09-29-10 01:06 PMLike 0 - Same here I tried out the EVO for a week and went back and bought an iphone 4, what was I thinking. Android is nice but I luv the fact the the Iphone just works.09-29-10 11:15 PMLike 0
- Lol. You guys sound like BB owners. But I do get what you are saying. I used to have an iPhone and I liked it a lot. It has one of the most efficient operating systems around and its getting better and more capable all the time. One oif the biggest differences I have seen with the iPhone compared to a lot of the Android devices is the build quality. The iPhone 4's build is amazing compared to the other devices I have used. It truly feels great in the hand and is enjoyable to look at. Apple makes the best hardware hands down.

Also The UI is not something i enjoyed...i get a feeling all those phone are rushed out of production

However, when I saw all the issues with syncing music and just the lack of intuitiveness, I appreciated my iPhone 4 even more.
Apple devices are so polished...just tight. Folks complain about how "closed" they are, but I'm not trying to rule the world. I just wanna be able to communicate with the outside world, have access to multimedia (not having a flash browser is no reason for a global meltdown), be productive at work/home, and enjoy it all.
When I left the Apple Store with my iPhone 4, on July 2nd, I hit the floor runnin'. Didn't have to read a bunch of stuff to figure out what to do. It just...worked.10-06-10 12:36 PMLike 0 - I enjoy the benefits of Exchange for my personal email and contacts without paying for an Exchange server. Ability to add contacts and calendar appointments on my device or on my computer and have it immediately update. Also enjoy the storage space which allows me to access photos and documents from my phone or computer. Very much enhances the experience.
This is also coming from a guy that used to plug his BB in every day to sync, so the cloud operations are like NASA to me.
Think of Mobile Me in the same way as BES, but you get iDisk and storage space.10-06-10 04:47 PMLike 0 - There was a droid sitting on my desk-- it was an Acer Liquid E. I grabbed it for the day. I've never used a droid before.

You are right about that with regard to an 80 year old, it is quite a simple platform to understand.10-07-10 12:24 PMLike 0 -
I also love iDisk and Find My Phone.

There have been a couple times where I've had my iPhones replaced (since 2G) and all I have to do with my new phone is log in and bam, everything is there... contacts, email, calendar.. everything.
I have also played with an Incredible and just was not impressed whatsoever, reminded me so much of windows. The OS seemed so inefficient, so many steps that iOS 4 does in one. The phone felt cheap to, but that's not Google that's HTC. The biggest difference when coming from an i4 is the retina display, when you use another phone it seems like going from a PS3 to Atari 2600, yikes.Last edited by Entertainment72; 10-07-10 at 09:44 PM.
