General Smartphone comparision thread

[Thug541]

Figured we need a thread where we can just shoot the shit about different cell phones without "trolling" the official threads. Also i think this thread can be for use for those interested in a smartphone but not sure what they want to get.

My one concern is the thread may not be used often but may be better than cluttering up other threads.

To kick it off where the tablet thread left off:

AW LOOK HOW FUCKING CUTE THE VEER IS :







I JUST WANT TO EAT IT UP

Here it is compared to big brother:


Next to the iPhone




I have no interest in ever owning this phone but i like can't get over how tiny it is. 2.6" screen.

WTF? haha

I wonder if I am a fanboy for Android because they deliver the best experience or I just believe they do because as a Sprint user there really aren't many other options for me. I love sprint. I get a great discount, they are cheaper in general, and their service has always been top notch. But I wonder if I was on Verizon for instance if I would be considering the iphone 4 more. I like to say no...but...well...hard to say.

Yiou knwo whats funny...i have the same thought. The iPhone has never been an option for me becuase I won't leave Sprint. If Sprint had annouced the iPhone at their event...you know, i think i would have to at least try it out long term.

I don't use iTunes however and have no interest to start using it again so that holds me back from using it. Also since i'm not invested in the ecosystem at all, there is less draw to wanting the iPhone.

What i do respect from it...great looking device and the fluidity that the phone works and the scrolling response is beautiful.

I do really enjoy the work horse that is android however. Its funny though, even looking at the Pre videos today, even though the apps weren't there yet, watching it, i did kinda miss the UI and fluid nature of it.

Here's a look (and video) at the early "Facebook phone." Yeah that UI looks like garbage.

Someone put the Veer along side the Evo or Droid X.

Having a custom background wallpaper is pretty useless on the iphone.

Not if you use folders.

^ or use a theme like the one I have where icons are translucent.



And Thug the Veer makes me sick, screens should be bigger! I have a friend with a weird ass small phone and it just looks like a toy to me.


I was going to make a Nokia thread today but guess this one will be good enough. They're having some conference tomorrow and the rumour mill is in overdrive, apparently there've been meetings between Nokia and Microsoft and they may go with Wondows Phone 7. I wonder what will happen, or how theyd fit that into the ecosystem they already have in place.

[Thug541]

I think they would have to almost abandon their current ecosystem...i mean, how many long term Nokia fans are there at this point? Basically pull a Palm before they get into as bad of a situation as Palm was in.

Windows 7 would work better than android imo...plus it'll be easier for them to stand out since Windows Phone 7 is still so new.
