Android or Apple?

cimman:

you just forget and wham, you're hit with a dead phone if you're the mobile type who's always on the go and there's no place to charge.

.......
At any rate, I can live with all the inconveniences of both Android and iPhone, but I draw the line with a phone stuck with a dead battery, with no recourse. As we all know, the lifespan of a smartphone battery is about a day, sometimes less. So a dead battery is a very real issue.

Tell me about that battery issue.
I seem to be charging my phone perpetually!
I intend to get a 2nd battery just in case.....

I go for android.
I just purchased a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S and am loving every moment of it.
DH has iphone 4, but i feel the screen is too small.
Android has more freebies at the market place.
I am spoilt with a wide selection of free games.
I also have free traffic info and bus info at my finger tips.

My phone has a lovely sakura pink color which brightens up my day.
The pictures are really sharp and clear, and there is supposed to be a 3D panorama sweep, but I have yet to learn how to use it.
It is also very slim, width is 87mm.
Xperia Arc S also has an extremely fast lightning speed when surfing the net as it has a 1.4GHz single core processor.

The iphone is too common.....I like to be different so I chose android, but I never thought I could be so in love with my phone!

Started with win mobile few yrs back , then decided to switch to android but I find the tech spec didnt translate to better perf on the android vs the iPhone. So, for 1st time in my life, I bite into an Apple. It’ll be hard to switch out now…

iPhone users will attest to this : once started on iPhone, there is no looking back

Give me a FIVE.
I'm totally hooked to my iPhone 4.
I can't use any phone now, after I switched to IPhone. Perfectly happy with my WHITE. :evil: Hubby just reminded me MIO phone upgrade due. Asked me if keen to get Sony Ray. To me, Android is just for playing angry bird free. Don't pay for chargeable apps.

I would take Android simply because I can change the battery. There is nothing worse than carrying a phone with a dead battery.

Cinman,

U can get the portable battery charger for iPhone; there are quite a few in the market. I have 1 energizer one (abt iPhone size bought 2 yrs ago) which I always carry around in my handbag. If my iPhone runs low, I'll connect it to charge my iPhone.

For those who drive, can also consider the car charger.

Cheaper to buy online instead of at those hp shops.

smurf:

so which one you prefer?

Definitely still an iphone

i used to poll and see about 40% of people attending the meeting around the table using an iphone. In recent weeks, though, there have been a few who switched to Android --particularly the S2 --from iPhone.


I asked one for the reason, and it’s simply :‘too many iphone users’!

forces of human nature taking it’s course i guess

i thought android apps are mostly free and apple ones are mostly chargeable??

there are lots of free apps on itunes too, those that charge - mostly around US$1 or 0.99, very few go higher than a few $$

i guess in term of apps, android can’t beat apple bah.
