There is a website, in which insiders assist with product launches and such.

October 26th is one day, and November 19th is the other. It has not been decided.

by the looks of it i may just go with the iphone if i change over. i went and looked at some of them today. i dont think it will be worth spending the extra 100 dollars when changing to go with the ipone4s over the 4

Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to get rid of all the bloatware and shit off my Droid? Its the original droid and I would love to mod it, but I have no idea how. Not trying to hijack. Oh and my vote is for a droid product of some kind. I am wanting to get a X2 sooner or later.

i use pc's but i also have ipods and an iphone 4... i like the iphone, personally, since it is easy to navigate and i dont have to fuck with it... i put my music on there, plug it into my stereo and jam out driving down the road, talk, text, web, etc... my only complaint is that while my ipods (ipod touch 3 and 4) will store the password to my home network and automatically connect to it, my iphone will not for some reason and if it ever disconnects from my wifi, i have to manually re-enter the password again to get it to connect...

Mike 07-17-2012 10:22 PM

I'm happy with my razr. Just got the ICS upgrade, and my phone is completely stock bloatware and all.

Everyday computing is just slightly faster, but it really shines with programs that are reading/writing a bunch of data. Most noticeable computer upgrade I have seen in a while.

BigdaddyDupree 07-17-2012 10:22 PM

thats weird my iphone hooks into all the wifi's that i go near that i have logged into. my house, my gfs house and work are all password protected.

Mine does too. I think there is a setting for it.

yota 07-17-2012 10:30 PM

if someone knows how to fix it, i would love to know... both of my ipods do it, but looking back and forth between the three, i can't find any differences as far as the networking settings... it's annoying to say the least cause my password is long as shit :hysterical:

I would just reset the network settings, then log back into the network and see if it remembers it after that.

Now, if you want to save battery.....cut off the wi-fi unless you intend on using it. Roaming for that can kill it deed.

I just go into the phone's settings and change them so that it won't try to use the 4g. The girl at work was using one of the apps that did it. She also had a bunch of other crap on there. I can't say it specifically that app that did it but I have always done it my way and never had a problem. There are threads all over the droid forums on how to turn off the 4g for each phone. After you do it a few times you will be able to do it by memory. It only takes a minute.

Joe has hated on my iphone and the fact that i've had a mac computer for over 5 years with no problems. Guess as he says..im still just a fan boy.

I guess Joe needs a droid for work purposes....:cheers:finger:

When I deal with an Apple product, I always wonder why other companies have such a problem getting it "right". Of course, that's just my opinion. I typed this from my windows based PC, which i had to reboot because the hour glass was spinning and the computer was froze! Should have used the iPad!

Couldnt have said it better myself.....I actually had to re-boot my damn pc so I could print something earlier today, lol. My wife, me, and my brothers all have iphones and ipads, only problem was I had a 3gs with a bad battery but they swapped it right out. I thought the ipad was a waste of money until i bought my wife one, they are actually pretty handy to have. I dont think she has even touched a computer since she got the ipad last year.I had HTC phones before iphone and the iphone hands down beats in reliability and ease of use. I have mine jail broke so I can do pretty much anything the android phones can do.

I have both, I hardly ever use the extra features on the 4S. I got the 4s just because I got it for cheap and my brother wanted my old iphone.

The app that works best is called phone info. All it does is opens up a menu that normally needs coding put in to access. You can change a lot of settings in it. Including what network the device connects to. The only one needed is "phone info" You want to always choose one with auto PRL in the name when using a SIM equipped phone (any of the VzDubya 4G ones) as the others generally just kill your signal all together.

Something you have to take into consideration when buying the phone is that Android is a platform used on hundreds of devices. It's an "open" free software that you or any OEM can obtain and code to your liking not just cellular communications equipment either. With this in mind you shouldn't hold a negative outlook on all Andorid equipped phones because company "X" sucked at building the software into their hardware. Also many like to "skin" their own UI on top of it that can be litterally horrible but specific to the single company (and even vary from phone to phone within a company).

With the iPhone they have one product line. They control the hardware and software. As such it is not as personal, fun, or techy. However, the shit is going to just work, most the time.

iphones also have good resale, if you pay $200 or so with a contract through verizon, once you upgrade in 1-2 yrs you can still probably get your money back out of them

16GB iPhone 4S's are for sale all over ebay that don't work, because of water damage, and still selling for $400. That's just crazy.

Selling? Or for sale?

Don't see how water damage phone or electronic device of any kind could sell for much of anything.


In China you can buy an iphone 4s for 60 bucks American

Selling.

And sure they are, you can fix them for CHEAP and sell them for full price. I bought a water damaged one, took it apart, cleaned off corrosion, replaced litmus paper, and resold it. Made $200 in about 2 hours.

I mod mine, so I had ICS for about a year. It was nice on a dual core clocked to around 1600mhz, but Ive switched to the latest jellybean mod now and its a big improvement.

I tell anyone that thinks their phone is badazz run youtube desktop style and watch a video like you would on your PC not the app, not fullscreen, but webpage style, then benchmark it while watching the video, if it doesn't lag, your junk is right, if it lags your junk is slow.

That means mine is badass.

Windows Phone 7.5 and up (8 is coming later this year). Has native desktop web browsing already programed into it. I watch youtube off it all the time. On 4g and wifi.

One thing Microsoft is doing right these days, software.

Very interested in the GS3 but my RAZR with a six axis controller and SNES, PS1, Genesis, and N64 emulators keeps me on the fence lol.

i have the heavy duty otter box on my 3GS...has a hard case, protective film over screen, and a rubber skin that fits over the whole thing....my dad ran it over one day with their suburban...couple scratches on the corners of the hard case...worked just a good as before

Mach Killer 07-19-2012 09:46 PM

Life case! Yes it's $80 but it's really water proof. And drop proof and has a built in screen protector. Plus it's half the size as an otter box defender
