I own an iMac, have owned 3 iPhones, and an iPod touch, and I'm a troll for liking a different phone?

My poll didn't backfire, it just shows fanboyism, cause a lot of people claim to stick with iPhone no matter what, and won't give any other OS a chance (really ignorant).

Plus, 30% of the members that voted will switch to an Android, are they all trolls too?

I get that you're a kid, you got an iPhone and you love it; that's nice. But life is about trying different things. Like I mentioned, I had 3 iPhones, got bored, switch to Android, and I love it.

But just keep calling me a troll, if that makes you feel better about yourself.

No, you are a troll because all I have seen you do is bash Apple, iOS, the iPhone and insult it's users by calling us brainwashed fanboys. Thats the very definition of trolling. I have had 7 Android phones and none offer the stability, support and polish of the iPhone. Now off you go.
 
Maybe the ones you bought were crappy phones, I don't know.

I'm entitled to my opinion, and I can say whatever I want.

Off I go? I'm the one that started this thread, lol.

You don't like what you're reading, you can stop visiting this page and posting here.

So stop being a troll.

Actually nooby, you need to go somewhere else. You just got here and already causing trouble huh?
 
I'm on a 4.65' nexus and i can tell you that i would much rather have my nice 3.5 inch screen back. The screen is amazing, but you don't really miss the nice compact size until its gone. I feel like 3.5 is the sweet spot
 
Well, I thought I mentioned this, but I guess not.

I finally made the switch to Android and I love it.

I've had 3 iphones, and I've just been bored with the UI for so long, and couldn't bare another 7 months of using it; so I traded my iPhone 4.

Rocking the HTC Rezound, and I love it!

4G Speeds (My iPhones 3G=barely 1MB. With 4G=between 4-20MB, depending on location)
4.3'' Screen
720p Display (Higher PPI than iPhone. 326 vs 342)
2MP Front Camera (iPhone has 0.3)
8MP Rear, and I can record video in 1080p and in slow motion (pretty cool)
Turn by Turn Voice Navigation
Widgets and Animations
Customization
Play Store (Better interface than App Store)
Dre Beats Headphones (Almost sound isolating)
Great Quality video
It's fast
and I LOVE IT.

After getting my Android, looking at an iPhone is just a downgrade to me now, cause it's just boring to me. iOS has just been apps and it just looks plain.

I found this image, and I couldn't agree more..

Image

2011 and 2012 weren't added due to repetition. :p

Anyway, I can't wait for the Galaxy S3, that's gonna be the phone of the year, easily.

The Point of the phone is to make you more productive. Why change what works. Besides iOS has changed a lot and added a lot of really neat features. I tried android, found it to be a mess. Use what ever helps you do your job. But changing your os and losing integration with the apple eco system just for UI change seems silly too me.

You're another one who has had 3 iPhones and now has an Android. Thats fine but what are you still doing in an IPHONE forum? I had 7 Android phones and switched to the iPhone yet I don't go to Android forums crying about how bad they sucked and how awesome my new iPhone is. See the difference?
 
Big screens are nice, I had a Galaxy S. Returned it in 2 weeks for an iphone. I think a 4.0" screen would be nice, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. The trade-off isn't worth it to go android. The market is too flooded with inferior in inconsistent hardware.

Besides, I have an ipad if I want a larger screen. And dual 23" monitors on my desktop at home and dual 24" at work if I want to stretch my legs.
 
I blame the ignorance of consumers. They've been brainwashed. Futurama and Simpsons have both joked about it, and this cartoon says it best:

lol

Actually, while I prefer iOS devices, I think you are right. There are many brainwashed consumers out there and the apple fanboy crowd isn't an exception, and probably a very good example of blind allegiance. I've argued many points in the past how apple could improve their products, and was consistently flamed for several ideas that apple eventually actually implemented (not because of me, of course, but because it made sense). I was told that my ideas were not part of the apple "aesthetic", namely that they use a aluminum/magnesium alloy for many of their products and phase out the inferior click-wheel.

However, you cannot assume that all counter-arguments to your decision to go android is a result of fanboyism. There are actually cases in which someone might actually prefer iOS devices over androids believe it or not.
 
If it is staying at 3.5, I'm glad. Why? Because a phone is a phone. If I wanted something larger, I'd get the iPad 3.

This is a but like saying people shouldn't buy larger cars, they should just buy a bus.

Small iphone to large ipad isn't really a great choice.
 
I wouldn't mind a bit larger screen but wouldn't switch to Android over it either. I have used several Android phone and although they also are great devices I prefer the apps and overall experience of the iPhone.
 
...

The simple fact is that you have no idea why people chose a particular option in your poll. Ignorance indeed.
 
I'll still be getting an iPhone. If I need a bigger screen to work with, I have my iPad.

Really? I have been here WAY WAY longer than you dude. And this is a MAC forum for all MAC stuff. Or Apple stuff. So get serious dude.

You had sucky devices, there are good Android devices out there vs a ton of bad ones.

Good analogy. The iPhone is fast becoming the Mini-Cooper of phones but anyone who'd want something bigger is a fool.

I had droids for 2 years and realized what junk they are compared to the iPhone. I just switched to my Droid X2 for the beach - its my junk phone. The droid is slow, the camera sucks, the apps are unstable, the gps is unreliable, the battery life is poor, and it reboots itself daily. I've had 6 different Droids, DX, DX2, droid incredible and DInc2. They are all garbage compared to the iPhone.

My daughter and wife still have their Droid Incredible 2s until they can upgrade, and have nothing but misery.

If you have a list of reasons to dislike iPhone that's fine. If you want to insult all iOS users you are nothing but a brainless loser Troll.

Mr.Incredible hasn't replied in any of the android vs iphone threads the past few days even though he has logged on and read the responses. Here is a ridiculous post he made in another thread:

I am going to Android for the first time, I've seen plenty of it from youtube videos to friends using HTC Evos and Sensations dailly. However I disagree, iPhone4S is decent when compared to cellphones, good build quality and screen is splendid. Android just has more specs and more freedom just makes it so much more attractive than iOS.

Macs are a different story, incredibly hard to navigate, I couldn't even delete a file on a friend's iMac???

Windows 7 improved on Windows XP so much, I can see Apple having steady success with iPhones because its a main brand but expect Macs to decline with Windows 7 being a much better OS and Windows 8 attracting much more people.

So this kid who can't even figure out how to delete a file in OSX is making market projections and we are supposed to think there is some weight to what he is saying. Apple market share has gone UP since Windows 7. Typical troll retreats when actual real logic is used to argue against his opinion. Fail.

OK, your right, your not a troll, your a fifth grader, or maybe younger.
When my 6 year old throws a tantrum like that I give him a time out
and tell him he can come out when he is willing to behave.

Now, if you are a child, just so you understand I will type slowly and in small words.
People are not calling you a troll because you want to buy, or have bought
an android phone. They are calling you a troll, because when they respond
reasonably with things like " I like my IOS" or "I had a bad experience with android"
You respond by stamping your feet and calling other people names.

Personally, I don't care if you like IOS Windows 7, 8, or 9, or android.
You came onto a Mac and iphone site and started bad mouthing a product
that more than 70 % of the people who responded to your poll said they liked.

One of the things you keep saying is how boring the UI is. I didn't buy a
phone to have a fun UI, I bought a phone to work. Mine does, I hope yours does too.

There is a saying when we are a child we act like a child,
When we become adults, we realize it is time to put away childish
things, and act like an adult. Perhaps, you could put such advice to some use.

Sounds to me like you have a problem with Droid phones, not Android in general. Maybe you should stay away from Droids. I've never liked the look or feel of any of the Droid phones, but there's other very nice Android phones out there besides that one brand.
