but the screen is very small leh.compared to android.


yes but really a phone's main function is to communicate via voice. email is a bonus. i prefer it slim and not too big. personally i won't get anything thicker than 10mm

for screen real estate, get a tablet (all in one) or a notebook

just personal preference .... hahahah to each his / her own

I'm happy when I can get my email, surf internet, read news, have a few utility apps. I don't enjoy playing games, only being KPO on forums/emails/FB. *haha*.

So I don't really care if it's iPhone or Android. I'm happy with my android LG (free with plan). It functions as well as I need it to.

[quote]According to Korean media ETNews, the new Samsung smartphone, GALAXY S III, will be equipped with a Quad-core processor; possibly the Samsung's Exynos 4412 processor, a 32nm quad-core chip based on the ARM Cortex A9 architecture. Other specifications include 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen display (1280x720), supports LTE network, 12-megapixel rear camera that can capture full high definition 1080p video, and runs Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

It was also reported that Samsung is developing 3D capabilities on the smartphone, though there's no details as to what extent will the new phone be equipped with the technology. The company could come up with a separate smartphone, rather than incorporate it to the GALAXY S III, and called it the Samsung GALAXY S 3D

I personally prefer android phones due to the battery too. I can always buy a new battery if the current one gets depleted in lifespan. Batteries have a maximum charging cyle too right?

Batteries deteriorate the moment they leave the factory.

Average is drop in capacity of ard 20% per year. So, a brand new Li-Ion rechargeable battery, never used before, may be useless after 5 years. In addition, for Li-Ion Batteries, if the charge drops below a certain level (for e.g. left discharged for prolong period, like 6 mths), it will be immediately disabled by itself. bcoz of the nature of the technology, charging a completely flat Li-Ion battery is potentially dangerous.

The only phone that has no hang ups are the early generation ones where they don’t have graphics, just numbers. Those were very, very reliable and lasts and lasts. I miss those phones.

I find that Smartphones these days are less user friendly in the key areas ie. phone functions. These translates to more key presses to get to the needed phone functions. With the old phone, one can survive for days, typically 5 days on a single charge. These is where technology hasn’t progressed fast enough.

No mass storage mode and no expandable memory…

The other restrictions still can tahan…

For andriod… wanna put any media just plug in and dump files into it like a USB drive, or even do it wirelessly with SE Arc. Not enuff memory… Just plug in another microSD card…

For iPhone, to put pictures/video must open the itunes and then use some sync function and somehow for some unknown reason some media just mysteriously disappeared due to the sync… talk about being user friendly… Sometimes, it really difficult to figure out what sync does… copy content from PC to phone or the other way round…

And, for the iPhone4S, with HD recording, the 16GB version is only good for ~1.5hrs of video… w/o any Apps… cannot just plug in a microSD card and use…

I enjoy my iphone but there are some applications that just cannot be supported by iphone.


We tried to do some online booking of concert tickets. Kept trying on the iphone but it didn’t work… I thought it’s just a server response issue as many parents were using the same website at the same time. Then did I realise that it’s actually because iphone cannot support it… My android phone allow me to access but as it is not my main phone it didn’t dawn on me to try to use that. So we wasted time on that…

I would take Android simply because I can change the battery. There is nothing worse than carrying a phone with a dead battery. All the apps in the world can't save you. With Android, I can carry a couple of fully charged spare batteries and pop it in when the current one is low.

iPhone 4S Battery Life Problems Befuddle Apple Engineers, Owners


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/28/iphone-4s-battery-life-problems_n_1064532.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009

My kids asking for the iphone4s.
That means the battery can't last till the end of the day without charging, then what's the point?
I can imagine one day there will be phone chargers at the back of the classroom ......LOL 😂 .

Or use the portable charger maybe?

If you have opened apps without closing them, instead simply pressing on the menu button, then your battery life lasts shorter. You need to double-click on the menu button, and all the apps that are still running will appear. Press on any one of the apps, hold it there until the icons start 'shaking' and a ' - ' appears at the top left hand corner of each app icon. Press on the ' - ' to close all the apps that you are not using. This help to extend iPhone battery life.
