Maybe others can try this method on other handsets.

I can't take this anymore.

I was being told that the iPhone has come a long way and made major improvements. I was told that I shouldn't comment until I have used it.

Well I have used "The best" iPhone could offer. I have the most expensive iPhone handset. And it still annoys me.

those who use an iPhone, please, don't be fooled by its iconic looks. Please try one of its competitors and see a whole new world.

The apps maybe good for some things, but I found many of them to be free on Android. The apps take up toooo much space but with Android, I found them to be of less capacity.

I configured my emails on the phone and felt so limited. So annoying that I deleted all my accounts from there.

The iPhone is an iPod with a phone. The screen consists of apps only. If you want to see any info, you need to open an app, no matter what. Absolute crap. At least on Windows or Android, most information is on.the home screen. No need to touch an icon to see the weather, temperature, date, shortcut to contacts etc etc.

Sorry, and I know this is going to get me many negatives. But at least I speak from both sides (again).

My wifes first reaction when she saw the phone was, "I'm keeping it". After 2 minutes of using it, she gave it back and said, "I remember why I switched to Android". And gave it straight back.

I let my daughter use it for a while (she's 6). She was over the moon and within a minute she gave it back and said "its rubbish, you can't even go back".

I gave it to my son to try out, he looked at me laughed. I gave him the choice of having the iPhone 4S 64g, HTC HD2, HTC DesireHD or the HTC Desire S. (he has experienced using them all). Without hesitation, he opted for the desire s. Wrong choice because I use that and I can't do without it, so he can't have it.

Dilemma!

What do I do, the Islamic apps are there for a reason, I guess I can still let others use the phones apps and let them pass on the rewards to the kind lady. I can.ask Allah to reward her for every time I use my own phone, I think that's fair. Selling the phone is out of the question even though I can get �600 for it.

I'll try and find an old video of a comparison of the home page on the Windows Mobile and the iPhone. Very short but very poignant.

Youtube Video


Basic Home Screen. And these Handsets are old, but the Iphone is still in the same place. The windows version is very similar to the android. Windows and Android have come a long way, iPhone is still in the same style as before.

YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ON THE IPHONE WITHOUT CONNECTING TO ITUNES. NONSENSE.

I dont think its music in the intro of the video, they are special effects.

The Apps on iPhone that need to be paid for are free on Android. Windows 7 have also started to build on their market.


I think I've had and said enough of the iPhone. Its doing my head in.

I'm NOT moving to Apple.

Here's the clickable link http://technitip.net/iphone-vs-stone

Let's be fair, it was in 2008.

Let's be honest, Apple can do Video's now, Not many people use MMS, they can just about forward an SMS, Video calls can be done, but who uses it unless its Skype, Copy & Paste works, (That will make GM's Happy, lol), Changeable Battery and external Memory cards, well still the same.

If this was in 2008 and the HTC Windows phone in the image was able to do all that and more, Can you imagine how far Windows (and Android) have gone and yet the iPhone are still coming along introducing more hi-tech garbage that still doesnt perform well.

Oh Well!

A bit for Apple: The photo processing is very good and much faster than I've ever seen on any other handset. (But you still need to sync with iTunes or iCloud, what a gimmick.)

The video gives nice options, but who uses all that.

 

And if anyone has any issues with me and apple, then they will need to sync me with iTunes

When you connect the iphone via USB, does it come up as external memory (storage device p&p)?

Lol.

I mentioned that before and was answered by brother rizmalek. Take a look back.

Lol.

How about this,

Any phone is ready to use out of the box, ready to call, take pics etc etc.

But as soon as you take the iPhone out of the box and power up, you can't use it.

You need to connect it to iTunes and put life into the phone.

What nonsense!

I took some photos with an iPhone once. I tried to copy them to a pc with the USB cable. I went into "my computer" and couldnt see my phone. I had no choice but to install iTunes on someone else's pc. Soon after I learnt a trick. I noticed that when I connected the phone to the pc and switched the camera on, and then opened " my computer ", an icon appeared on the desk top like a normal digital camera. I then used this method for some time until I was fed up and could no longer lie to my self and got rid of the piece of expensive metal and glass. Good riddance.

Never again. A believer never get into the same mess twice.

The thread on "Islamic Android Apps" was so simple to do. All I had to do was select share app, copy the link and make things easy, all from the phone. This couldn't be done via the iPhone, or at least I didn't see any option for it. No wonder the iPhone apps page doesn't make any progress. Why are things so restricted on there?

There are plenty of iPhone users on this site, (I know because of the response on the apps thread and thumbs down)

Be positive, if something is rubbish, let it be. The positive side of it is that you can still sell your phone, buy a cheaper one and have even more quality experience using a phone to its full potential.

Why are iphone users not defending it? I had the 3gs for one and a half years. I really liked it for the first 2 weeks. Then it was okay, then it became annoying, then I discovered Android and then I thought, "what were you thinking!"

I actually still recommend the iphone over the android to elders who want a smart phone (age 40+) as the iphone is much more simple to use I think.

For those who actually enjoy a smartphone and use it for many many things, I tell them to trust me and not get limited by the iphone. So far, every person has thanked me.

Golden question.

Why aren't iPhone users defending the iPhone. Does it not hold any value. You vent your self by downing others who are merely there to help.

iLaugh at you. ;)
