Android or Apple?

[cnimed]

Apple apps are better and more stable. It depends on what u need ur device to do and ur lifestyle needs. I did try android. I was disappointed, it gave me so much problems and the Apps were not the type I wanted. Maybe I had a lemon where device was concern, but now am back to Apple.

[quote=\"verykiasu2010\"]iPhone users will attest to this : once started on iPhone, there is no looking back

actually, that is not true. Quite a few iPhone users have switched over to Android. The more technically inclined you are, the more likely you will switch.

that confirms i am a tech-idiot ..... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:[/quote]no, don't say that. Just that you're not interested in technical stuff. Everyone has different interests.

yes, that is true. The reason for the apps' stability is that the developers only have to support one platform, the iPhone, while the Android developers have to support multiple platforms, ie. Motorola android phones, HTC android phones, Samsung android phones, etc.... So inevitably, stability issues arises when some hardware quirks occurs for a certain manufacturer's phone, which was not forseen and tested during the app development time. This is the bane of android ecosystem, the hardware fragmentation.

I like the apple apps but can’t type on the iPhone no matter how hard I try (maybe my fingers are too fat). So I use the iPad for the apps. Blackberry is still my main phone due to the keyboard and bb messenger. I also carry a galaxy s1 for android apps. Somehow I find it’s easier to type on it than iPhone although both have touch screens.

for typing on your android smartphone, try Swype. You should have it on your Galaxy S. It's a new way of \"typing\". Instead of pressing on a letter, you slide your finger over the letter and the app recognizes that the letter has been entered.

then you dun need so much function mah, just a phone would do.

ya lor, also have a $50 nokia no contract type, buy from 7-11, no heartache when lost

Actually i like my old nokia phone alot and it is much easier to use eg speed dialing and sms.

However I reckoned that if I did not get a smart phone, I will become a laid back person.
Just before I got my phone, I did not have any inkling of what WhatsApp, Market, etc was.....in fact i did not even know the difference among all the smart phones.....now i am slowly learning.

I didn't think it was necessary but he considers it a learning process and always wants to try the latest products. Now that I'm using the smart phones, don't think I can switch back to the simple phones anymore.

Agree totally. I was previously a Nokia fan, but after using the iphone 3GS more than 2yrs ago, Nokia's smartphones are nowhere near where iphone is.

As for the Android phones, think only Samsung can 'compete' with iphone.

I beg to differ.
I compare my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S with DH iphone4, mine seems more versatile !

I resisted getting the iphone 3GS 2 years ago...then got so fedup with 3GS battery going dead so fast. My Nokia Music Express was good. Hubby kept asking me to switch to smart phone. Now I cannot use Nokia anymore...Iphone is so easy to use.
