aaahhh shiiiittt. Hopefully it doesnt suck.

Nexus One still reigns supreme.

We're going off into all kinds of directions here now... Ben, you obviously like Apple products, everything works together nicely, its easy to use...etc. Everyone has a reason they buy things, and to me your reason is legit. I just cant stand the people that go "iphone is much better than android", then when asked why, they cant give me facts, just sale figures and to them its cool because they've been told its cool and its all they know. I'm not doing this to fight the man, apple is most certainly not the man when it comes to cellphones or computers, for that you have Nokia and Microsoft. People like Renob over here sounds like the typical iphone squirrel that I run into so often. He came from an LG generic flip phone, bought an iphone cause he saw Beyonce has one and all his buds at school got one, so now its the greatest phone ever made. Loves to bring it up in every conversation, "oh my IPHONE can do that", "oh i took these pictures on my IPHONE" Ofcourse the same can be said about Droid users. Verizon is running the hell out of those commercials and it too has become somewhat of a trend. But i still dont see people running around, trying to find the first opportunity they can to bring their Droid into conversation. The way it's being advertised was different too, "droid does" instead of "conversation piece" This shit really doesnt matter, just makes for good ebattles. Get whatever the hell device you like better, but dont blindly go buying something just because its cool right now and then come on here and try to argue which one is better but have never used the one you are arguing against.

Oh yeah I forgot "hondas last forever" 2.8L isnt blowing up, but you can get a 2.8L engine for $1000 and have it running in one day too. Total cost, about the same. Whatevs.

You drive a "lade", your argument is invalid.

Spend less, buy Audi A4 Quattro, Manual, with heated leather seats, climate control, 2.8L http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1781677540.html Dammit, why do people pay more for crap?

All I see now is a bunch of whining now. "Who cares if the iphone cant do as much an an android, more people have it and therefor its better, plus it looks really cool in my pocket and all my bro's are mad impressed when I tell them I have an iphone" http://www.appolicious.com/tech/articles/2066-top-android-phones-shouldn-t-be-wary-of-new-iphone-4

Yo dawg, we heard you liked Evo's, so we put an HTC Evo in your Mitsubishi Evo so you can evolve while you evolve no?

I bought a bluetooth to FM transmitter a while ago and I've been using it for my last 3 phones. Its completely wireless which is nice. So you can get a cheap microUSB car charger, and a bluetooth transmitter for pretty damn cheap. The Snapdragon processor has a built in FM receiver and transmitter, the problem is that no one has enable the transmitter from what I know. Once someone figures it out, you wont need one anymore. I personally dont like swype, i did at first but went back to the good old android keyboard. Last time I checked swype is a beta and you can only find it floating around forums, and some phones are now coming with it pre-installed. HERE YA GO http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687056 There are 2 ways to take screenshots 1) Root your phone, install ShootMe from the market 2) Download the Android SDK, go into the tools folder, open ddms.bat, select device, screen capture

My parents have new TT that they got from Toy Barn for a good price. It was "used", someone won the thing on a riverboat casino and didnt want it. It's a badass little car.

It's no bullshit, its science. I dont care if the iphone didnt sell because there was a meteor shower spotted over north Texas. Androids sold like hotcakes, 100,000 a day! http://moconews.net/article/419-google-is-activating-100000-phones-a-day-unveils-tethering-flash-more/ Android is a better OS, and I believe that in the long run it will be the #1 os in the world. It's gaining on Nokia...fucking NOKIA! Iphone is pop, just like the backstreet boys, tamagotchi and the bedazzler.

Ofcourse I don't know that, but I will make a guess. Iphone still has its hardcore followers that will buy anything that has an apple logo on it as soon as it hits stores. So the iphone 4 will sell like hotcakes at first. So i will give Q3 to apple. Q4 might be a different story. Q2 stats still need to come in, I bet android slaughtered iphone sales because of the Incredible and the EVO. 2010 year of the little green dude?

This is true. I hate verizon right now, but from what I hear they have planned, they will be pretty sweet if they can get their customer service to improve. Plus I've been hearing rumors about iphone on verizon for like 93 years now, still hasnt happened. Altough the one android phone on AT&T sucks balls and runs on motoblur

^yes, there are still more iphones than android phones. But for how long? The iphone was outsold in the first quarter of this year. Iphones have a 2? 3? year lead on android. http://www.fiercemobilecontent.com/story/npd-android-now-number-two-smartphone-os/2010-05-10 People are dropping iphones for androids too, just like people will drop androids for iphones. If anyone drops an android phone for an iphone, they are a fool. "Yeah I really dont like being able to do more, I just want an iphone because its the cool thing to have, i mean gosh, Paris Hilton has one, it must be better duh"

Sorry to here this. We had a boxer that looked just like Ares. We had him for a long time too until he finally died from natural causes. I dont think there is a better dog than a boxer. I've never cried over a lost pet until our boxer died.

You're right. Iphone shit is everywhere. But the phone has been out for a while, and its been popular for a while. But you mention that you need to go buy a $150 adapter to make it work with your bose thing in your car. Android and other phone manufacturers follow the standards, where Iphone doesnt. MicroUSB is the standard right now. So I can use a blackberry charger, incredible charger, droid charger...which are all nothing but a simple microusb cable that can be had for $5 anywhere. Most headunits now come with microUSB slots, and most cars now come with bluetooth which eliminates the need for a cable all together. I dont need no stinking case anyway when my phone has gorilla glass and is teflon coated , plus it came with a free case. That's exactly why android is outselling the iphone, because there are more options, choices. It's like the whole betamax vs vhs thing. Sony or whoever it was kept betamax to themselves, where the other company who had VHS gave the right to anyone to make a VHS player. Android is a little fragmented right now, and Google is working on making that less so. The biggest problem was all the devices that were still on 1.5 and 1.6. Most of those that arent too outdated and are capable of being upgraded have been upgraded to 2.1, so its not really a problem. The only place where it was a problem was for developers, and I've made a couple of apps and code and options are there to make things work on different devices just fine. I will read the article you posted... I did and it's extremely outdated and most of its not true anymore

Well its the OS that I'm complaining about. Iphone hardware has always been nice, which was where android phones were lacking big time. But its all a matter of opinion and people need to get what they like, want, need, etc. lol, well multitasking of course. Flash websites is one thing, that's how the example of the iforged website came up because that actually happened, and lots of other websites. I used the navigation on my phone all the time, google latitude ties into that. A friend is at a bar somewhere, he tells me to meet him there, I just click on his picture on the map and it gives me turn-by-turn right to where he his. Navigation is possible on the iphone, but its not the same, and if there's something like it, its not free and built in already. Widgets and having a desktop is great. I place the widgets on my desktop that I want and its all right there. Clock/weather widget on the center page, Power Control widget on the next screen which gives me the option of turning wifi, bluetooth, GPS, sync and brightness on and off. Music, pandora and youtube widgets i have on one screen. Dont have to open their apps. For music and pandora i just hit the play button, and it starts playing. Shows me the songs right there on the desktop with all the controls for it. Youtube works more or less the same way, except once you actually play the video it opens up to full screen.

Basically yes, when I'm out and about and something comes up where I need to do something, and my phone can do it, its great. It's nothing but a convenience. My phone is 100% "stock" right now and it has been for a while believe it or not. My phone is rooted tough, which gives me the ability to run different versions of android as I please. But Android 2.2 that I'm running right now is exactly the same as it would be on a non-rooted phone, and its great, and its just a test pre-release. I dont actually change anything about android, rooting is more like taking off the child lock off the phone, it gives you access to files that can screw your shit up. The iphone is a perfectly good phone, but I guess to me it's the same reason why I could never buy a honda accord, chevy malibu or toyota camry. They are just so dull and nothing exciting. Sure they might be reliable and easy as hell to drive, but boring as fuck.

I love it... Would you say the same thing about a computer? What more does a computer need? I already have a start menu, why do i need a background and the ability to add widgets? It's about customization, quick access, quick info right there on the desktop without having to actually run the app. My point about the background goes for the people who call this the iphone 4 "revolutionary", "a game changer" etc. Custom backrounds are not Now live wallpapers are a little more interesting... This is true. Its a very user friendly phone. But luckily phone weight doesn't effect the way a phone performs. Faster processors give us the ability to process more, faster. Which opens the door to bigger, better, faster apps. It's of course just an example of an all flash site, but why have a smartphone if you have to always run back to your pc if you actually want to do something? I thought the point of a smartphone is having a computer in your pocket, a do-everything-all-in-one device thats small enough to fit in your pocket. Your company would be saving money by ditching the verizon card. But some people have a need for some things, others dont. It's nice to have the ability to do so if you wanted to dont you think? None of us NEED legs, but its nice being able to walk. Carrying a large device around is no fun. The nexus one with its larger (only .2" bigger) is the exact same size as the iphone 3gs, even thinner. The HTC Evo is pushing the limits on I think a good size for a phone is I think. My phone lasts me the entire day, with some light texting, browsing, gaming. When listening to music I have it plugged in the car dock so battery isn't usually an issue for me since I'm always by something that can charge it. For my upcoming 18 hour flight though, I'm going to be watching movies and listening to music on it quite a lot, so I'm sure the battery will be dead in no time, will probably have to go buy a couple of spare batteries to survive the trip. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a plane that has some form of power supply.
