lets think about general use shall we? the world doesnt consist of us nerds, so i want to talk about general use and what everyone else coming in to the smartphone world (not that there's much left out there) to expect.
Never said I'd recommend a TP2. I'd recommend waiting....the WM phones around the corner (they could possibly be running android on some of them) will murder the iphones capabilities;but I won't mention future products anymore as it's irrelevant at this time.
If that's all you really know how to do.....you're not a guru. Sorry buddy.
Stockwise is flat out garbage, but atleast we can still mod it without having to unlock and flash(newer phones' custom roms are about the same as stock, but with some newer versions of a couple UI's.)
but you can still customize every single icon, every single taskbar icon, the entire interface. Can you do that? Nope. You can only change icons and backgrounds. LOL(when I say you, that's the general usage we're talking about as the general public that have iphones don't unlock theirs).
That's a personal opinnion as you said I find blah blah.
I thought you said you backed it up with facts??
this is one feature I haven't used on an iphone, so I can't comment this.
I do agree ours needs some upgrading/tweaking to work better.
I'm sure apple's email part works alot better, so I'll give it a point here.
I use swype and my physical keyboard.
I can type damn fast and faster than most of my friends that have an iphone and other people I've seen typing on an iphone.
LOL. Is this a fact here too? NOPE! Another opinion buddy.
Boy, you need to go to
http://www.merriam-webster.com/ and read the definitions of opinions and facts.
I have skinned my mp3 player, can you do that?
I have changed my layout completely, added new buttons, gestures, all kinds of stuff.
What makes it so much better when we have a ipod app that acts just like the ipod mp3 player you have?
Again, opinion....where's this fact you're talking about?
There's been multiple tests, benchmarks, video comparisons with extensive browser comparisons that the iphone's with that of WM's. And I hate to have to break your bubble and tell you that they're equal buddy.
Sometimes the iphone finishes loading a page first,and sometimes the WM phone finishes first.
I've known people that haven't unlocked their WM phone and have owned an iphone and hated it and have switched...
Therefore the BS you're referring to is opinion once again.
I know more people that bring their iphones in for repair/replacement than any other phone (except TouchPro1 because of the keyboard, the TP1 was about even).
I must have missed those facts. Care to point them out?
For the general public that tend to be sheep and not very bright (usually) the iphone is great, but to a more intellectually attributed being, it is garbage. haha.
I agree though on some levels, I want the screen, and graphics. But the screen is coming on WM phones, and the reason we don't have the graphics is a manufacture being cheap and putting in chips that are capable of less colors/etc.
There will never be an end to the "iphone haterade" as you call it.
The choice of a phone is pure personal preference, and your experience on a phone is just that, yours. So therefore everyone has different experiences with the different phones and OSes and what not, so it'll never cease to exist as more of us have had bad times with an iPhone, and get bored with them than those of use that have had good times with them.
Plus you're on a primarily WM forum. Go to an iphone one, and they'll be bashing WM and android. It's just what happens.
(yes we have android and iphone sections here, but it started out as a WM forum. So it's going to be more of WM people).
Plus if you don't like it, you can always go somewhere else.
