Android or Apple?

iphone screen is too small......but i love open source i love being able to run any theme...any over clocked kernel i want...any apps i want......im not stuck with the stock launcher.....

 
ios is popular cause it is simple and easy to use. It is the smartphone for people afraid of computers. Android is definitely superior. Apple= JL audio while android= sundown, DD etc

Idk who thinks thier iphone is just as fast, but my nexus blows everyone i know iphones away. And multitasking it gets even worse for ios, especially compared to android 4.0.
I like this statement haha, there still is not true multitasking on the iOS devices. More of a protective sandbox and battery saver than anything, but certainly annoying.

Compared loading websites and apps with the 4s vs my buddies nexus and my iphone beat his almost every time on wifi. SOMETIMES we were just about even.

and afraid of computers.. lol.. don't make me laugh
wifi is the best way to tell hardware performance.. it was on legit wifi.. why would a "superior" phone not be as fast on something like wifi
That is more or less up to the browser. Dolphin HD for instance will cut down the page load time on an android phone to much below any iOS device. Sometimes this is because companies like verizon and sprint and att make devilish deals with hardware providers to load softwares.....

The day flash player is supported by iOs is the day I will begin to even consider iOS in comparison to Android. Android isn't perfect but it has far fewer limitations than iOS. What I don't like about Android is there is no option to switch through different apps and they will still run in the background when you close them. I really think webOS is better than both, but its market is so much smaller and it never caught on to the masses. I'm considering reactivating my old webOS phone because I miss it so bad.
WebOS was wonderful, but poor marketing killed it. Android does have app switching, hold down the home button.......

I always hear this in the iPhone vs. Droid argument. WTF are you "customizing?" Are you making pretty glitter screens or what?
The other thing I always hear is how fast the Droid is. What's faster? I don't get it. I've used an iPhone FOREVER and never find myself tapping my foot waiting on something to load. Pandora on my iPhone straight owns the Nexus'. So much so that I couldn't even use it. And that's one app that I use every single day. Laggy doesn't even begin to describe how bad it was. Same service, same areas and my iPhone kills it.

I downloaded that JuiceDefender thing for my Nexus to try to conserve batt life. Seems like all it did was turn off the stuff that I wanted running. I didn't use it any more than I use my iPhone and the battery life was straight up miserable. You can't tell me not to use it to conserve batt life. AND it took FOREVER to charge. Seriously, like 10 hours plugged into the wall to go from 30% to 77%? And then back to 30% on the 1 hour ride home. No thanks. The iPhone takes like 30 minutes to charge.

The buttons on the Nexus (and probably other Droids) are poorly placed. The wake/sleep button is exactly opposite the volume rocker. Every time I wake or sleep it, I was adjusting the volume. The ringer would be off or stupid loud. My headphones wouldn't be on or would blow my eardrums out. Lame. And why the hell would I need the volume control when I'm BT'ing to my HU? And the headphone jack is in the worst spot. On the bottom? Really?

WooHoo!! Ice Cream Sandwich!!11! Big f'n whoop. Put a **** clock you can read on the home screen.

Gorilla glass is pretty awesome though. And I did enjoy some of the text features on the Droid. Like, not having to scroll for punctuation and having word suggestions right there. But, there was no "return" button to seperate thoughts in a text. It had to be seperate texts or one long run-on. That's dumb.
Pandora loads fine on my android phone and its much older than the nexus.

Car charger will take a long azz time to charge any phone. I cant speak for the nexus but my current phone is pretty awesome for battery life and fills up quick when on the wall. I know that recently folks have been having issues with battery life when using the Facebook app (download tinfoil for facebook just //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif)

Samsung phones **** me off. the sleep wake button anyway. I like having volume/gain control on my phone or any other device because sometimes it clips on the deck. My old iPod had the headphone jack on the bottom and its different for every phone. Poor argument.

You can change the clock on an android phone to whatever you want. You can even download new ones. Poor argument.

Most all phones have tough glass including the iphone. I dont know what youre talking about with the texting app either, I have a return button on my phone and always have through every iphone and android device. Perhaps you are retarded.

 
We could argue about it all day, and like I said neither the phones I have are are perfect.. But when you use both of these phones for a work phone you definitely want something reliable and easy to use when you are on it all day. end of story for me.

If you want extra crazy apps that do stuff like change menus or widgets or colors or whatever, thats great

i just need an iphone with my samsung galaxy oled screen and im good

ATT is a bunch of *****. I hate them with a passion. Followed by verizon.

Which is why I switched to StraightTalk and hacked my iPhone to work with one of their SIMs. I used to pay $85/month for 400 minutes, unlimited data and unlimited text. Now I pay $45 a month for unlimited all.

The only difference I've been able to notice is the lack of a bill from AT&T in my mailbox.

Tracfone GSM cant be too awesome of service, but I see where youre going. I wanna do Republic Wireless

 
if you are in an LTE area the Note will blow you away with speed.

If you like to keep things basic then iOS is for you

if you like to mess with everything and tweak then Android is the way to go

A previous post said "why would I want anything other than the stock music player" eww how can you say that on a car audio website

Power amp on adroid has a really nice EQ and play pretty much every music file. Good luck doing that with an iphone.

I have had every iphone and I just couldnt do it after it was the EXACT product same as the years before.

They didnt even have MMS untill iOS 3.0

That and my grandma and her friends have them.

 
That isnt sayin much bro. What I want to know is how fast your data speeds are and do they get mad if you hog it?
Mine runs off of AT&T's uncapped 3G. But yes, if you abuse it then you get a nice little text message about it...after that they cut your service. The only way they can really tell is if you're tethering though.

ATT Free Msg: Your data usage is among the top 5% of users. Data speeds for this bill cycle may be reduced. Visit Wi-Fi Data & Tethering Data Plan - Wireless from AT&T or call 8663447584.

ATT Free Msg: Your data usage is near 3GB this month. Exceeding 3GB during this or future billing cycles will result in reduced data speeds, though you'll still be able to email & surf the web. Wi-Fi helps you avoid reduced speeds. Visit Data Usage Information & FAQs from AT&T or call 866-344-7584 for more info.

These are the new msgs you when u have unlimited data on a 4s... I had a 3g on 3.1.3 os up until dec 11'... I use around 5gb-7gb and NEVER got these texts.. Was told with the older firmware they had no control of it, now with iOS 5 they have the ability to slow down your data!!

I just hit my 3gb cap 2day, it really REALLY pisssses me off casue the phone is useless!! It dont do shiit!! :-(. The lil wheel just sits there and spins and spins and spins....
