The original iPhone, until it meets with a sticky accident so I can grab the new one.

Droid Incredible.

I will never ever own any Apple product. I don't like the business model and being forced to use 'said' accessory, or 'said' software, or forced to use iTunes, etc, etc etc. This whole business model is going to catch up with someday.

Been with verizon for 8+ years now and love them. The only way I will get an iphone is if verizon gets it.


Verizon: End of Unlimited Data Plans Likely Coming Soon

Verizon has beaten this drum before, but it seems that AT&T's move to tiered data has inspired them to cut unlimited plans as soon as this year. It's time to say goodbye to the all-you-can-download buffet.

The comments this time came from CFO John Killian, who came out more explicitly than past Verizon execs in favor of a tiered system in a recent Businessweek interview.

"We will probably need to change the design of our pricing where it will not be totally unlimited, flat rate."

Hmm, well the stock is at an all time high and the company is now worth $250 billion, or $20 billion more than Microsoft, making it the second largest company in America based on market cap. Seems like the business model is working pretty well for them.

The Incredible, with Sense UI, will periodically store screenshots of the contents of your web browser. The screen captures are a function of the HTC Sense UI bookmark widget and are not the main issue; temporary screen grabs are understandable. The problem is these JPEG files are extremely hard to get rid of.

Good luck with that one.

:tiphat:

The iPhone did that, Apple fixed it.
HTC has already said they will be releasing a hot fix to have it not do this, but if are you are that paranoid you can easily plug your phone into a PC and delete the files.

Had the iPhone. After putting up with AT&T, they crossed the line one day when they cost me FOUR friking HOURS trying to get their wireless card installed on my mac. (no installation required in the end). They forced me to install some stupid software and then spent hours figuring out why it didn’t work. :shakes head:
Never again...ever.:mad:
I have the Sprint HTC Touch Pro. Can’t complain.

Thats what I did when I read it. I love itunes and how it organizes everything. Apple has even explained in its newest key note address about why they do what they do for selecting what apps go on the market and all. Apple is doing very well and does not look like they are slowing down.

zman99 06-19-2010 06:46 PM

I have the IPHONE. It revolutionized me and then I bought a Macbook. Soon I will have the IMAC and IPHONE 4..

I also bought shares of APPLE stock and it made me $600 thus far and its only been 2 weeks.....

Yeah. Some people need to chill and not be so angry that they start spouting nonsense. Probably the same kind of person who was saying that macs are incompatible with the internet, run slowly and don't have any software a few years back. Yeeps.

The fact is that Apple make the best product, or they're in bed with those who make the best product. Or, they just go out and buy the companies of those making the best product. Logic. Apogee. Yum yum.

If you're running a Mac, the iPhone will work perfectly with it and the way it syncs all your email addresses, phone book, browser bookmarks and such wirelessly with .mac is great.

I have no idea how it works with the windows, to be honest.

bigaudiofanat 06-19-2010 07:29 PM

It will run great with windows as well.

Unless you want to game at all!

Or, you know, not murder your wallet for literally shiny white plastic.

I do like Apple stuff, but it is just so overpriced. They are so successful because they advertise their products as fashion items and they capitalize on that sort of mentality. It's just as bad as Alienware or Falcon-NW or any of the specialty PC companies. I mean, I guess you can build your own Hackintosh now... but Windows 7 is awesome, so yeah.

I have a Droid and I love it. I'm not one for tech-hopping though, so I'm unlikely to buy another phone until my contract is up. I just can't see dropping that much coin on a phone that really doesn't do anything more than mine.

Also I don't think I will ever buy an iPhone simply because iTunes might honestly be one of the worst pieces of software ever made. Go use Songbird or even Winamp. Jesus.

Also, Apple's large profitability comes from their domination of the MP3 player market more than their OS.
