[blazin-asian]

its only uninformed people who dont know squat about technology that are diehard fanboys.

I owned multiple phones over the years, including htc and they all have some flaw...all

yeah, the Evo has battery issues, screen issues, OTA update issues, 2.2 porting issues.

The iPhone 4 has the reception issue,

winmo has a severe lag issue unless running an HD2

But I'm a tech nut and I'll get whatever comes out, I don't give a damn if it runs android, iOS, or wp7. I will always have the "big 3"

It's like Christmas all over again.

Christmas huh? Christmas at your house sucks. I have had no problems with my iphone 4. No case, no problems. I have had three different HTC devices and had to take them in for repairs or replacement at least once every three months. It just makes me laugh that people feel the need to start these flame threads. You like your phone, I like my phone. Why can't people leave it at that? HTC's lack of quality control is what helped push me towards the iphone. I was down to the EVO or the iphone. What put me over the edge was the battery life comparison and the fact that HTC made the phone. I didn't want another phone that I may have to take in constantly. The EVO may be the HTC phone to buck the trend, but I didn't want to take the risk. So I can be a Fanboy, you can be a Fandroid or WinMoBoy or whatever you want. Point is, who cares. This all started out by mocking people who had Iphones just because there was the whole "OOOH, look at me I have an Iphone". Now the trend has shifted to the new douche class being the ones going "OOOOH, look at me. I don't have an Iphone". It's all the same now. Before you go into the whole, "I don't like Apple's business practices" rants, save it. No one cares. Now you can run along back to your Christmas. Don't you have some grade school kids you should be pushing off the jungle gym or something?

All my previous phones were HTC and they were absolute garbage. The iphones are like angels compared to the junk HTC puts out.

All my iphones have great quality, the only reason I upgrade is because I like new technology. With HTC, you upgrade because it breaks on you or has a defect.

What is the flaw of the jitterbug?

---------------------------------------

But as I said before I used HTC phones and never had a problem...people experience varies from person to person...

I have been able to use both the iphone and Evo, they are both great phones. But just cuz I choose the Evo doesn't mean I wish ill will on or hate iphone users but I can tell ya I have 0 issues with the Evo and no problems with any others that I didnt cause.

I'm not happy about people's reception issues. I'm just happy that people rather than just the informed tech crowd are finally seeing Apple's true colors. Like the general consensus of the tech articles point out, its not the actual reception issue that is apples biggest problems, its how hey have handled it. First to say there is no issue, then to say oh you're holding it wrong. All cellphones have the same problem. oh wait, its a software glitch we are going to fix. Consumer reports don't like our iphone 4, delete all threads referring to Consumer reports. Its a problem they thought they could use their apple mind control on their fans to sweep under the rug and its has gotten worse.

What's even funnier to me is with the previous iphones it was a blame game of the dropped call issues between apple and ATT. With they Iphone 4 they decided to use their new antenna designs as a selling point for the phone. What does that say about the previous Iphones? It was something to be desired? And when is the last time you heard a phone advertising its antenna design? To think one of their advertised features is the one that has the biggest fault is just ironic and hilarious to me.
