[Q] Apparently I have an Iphone or maybe not

Anyone ever get your G2x confused with an Iphone?
I had a customer ask if my G2x was an Iphone. When I said no, it was an Android, he made the funny Droidddddd noise. Arghhhhhhh, identity crisis.

HAHA! Yeah I really hate Motorola for branding their line "droid" because it's caused so much confusion among the ill informed. It's way too confusing for the regular folk lol

DUUUDDDEEE!
my apartment-mate today thought my phone was the iphone.
And another time, when I told my classmate I didn't have an iphone, she said "oh you got a Droid."
and I just didn't say anything cause I didn't wanna sound like a nerd explaining Droid and Android

My old vibrant was mistaken as an iphone as well as my G2x. It's funny how little the general public knows about phones. When people ask if it is an iphone, I just laugh and say, dear GOD NO. You couldn't give me one of those pieces of crap. I like to customize, play with overclocking, and a bunch of other features the iphone won't let you do.

It's pretty understandable between a vibrant and iPhone 3g/s because they look so damn similar

don't blame the poor people, blame the TV news. If apple launches a piece of brick you can be sure there will be on every news channel and the radio.
Just wait and see when the first ifhone comes out with dual core, they are going to announce it like the most amazing thing ever. Even though there are dual core phones long time ago.
So basically for the general public the only smartphone that exist is the Ifone. That's why if they see it is a touch screen, then it must be an Ifhone

It is actually very good marketing and PR for Verizon to tag the "Droid" to Android. It reminds me of when Apple first released iPods and everyone was referring to all MP3 players as iPods....very smart on Apple's part.

Droid is actually owned by Lucasfilm and licenced to Vz/Moto for their phones. So every time you hear the Droooiiid sound George is making money. Now that's marketing genius!

Yea a sales guy said, "oh you got the new iPhone, how do you like it"
And I HATE when people say "Oh you got a Droid".
Even if people call Android "Droid", at least it is popular enough for people to know what it is.

That's pretty interesting, I had no idea! I always thought it was something Verizon came up with for their phones.
I cannot tell you how much it bothers me when people call my phone a Droid, the way I see it, if they're just gonna make incorrect assumptions then they deserve my 3 minute rant on the difference between android devices ^_^

wow finally people complaining about stuff that Ive *****ed about for so long. Its funny because people look at like I'm strange when I correct them by saying No its "android"
Its bothersome that everyone calls them droids... but I guess its the same with zamboni's you wouldnt know it but not all of the ice resurfacers are called zamboni's.

Is it a vacuum or a hoover, an adjustable wrench or a crescent, a toilet or a crapper, a microcomputer or a pc...ad nauseum?
Get over it - it's a "droid".

eh to each their own.. I dont own a droid though!

I could see you saying that out loud!!!!!

The droid stuff doesn't irk me as much as my eagerness to correct them does. Droid is a cool nickname for a phone, why should I care?
It is far worse for someone to think your phone is an iphone, which has happened to me also. It's one of the reasons I was contemplating switching to the sensation.

Why ICS is important to me.

Watch the video (In case you havent seen it yet!). In it Matias Duarte explains how the Android team is beginning to try and create a cohesive and unified atmosphere with the os at the most basic levels. I for one, am absolutely thrilled to see that they are finally going to be paying attention to design and aesthetics. Usability of the platform can also benefit from this immensely.
I am also tired of people saying "ICS isnt all that special". It really doesnt matter how "special" you think it should be. What matters is that its the next iteration of the os. We all want to have our devices updated and current. So wanting this on our devices has less to do with design in this sense, and a lot more to do with jumping on the wagon of unification. I would greatly prefer beautiful apps and ease of use over anything Gingerbread has offered us so far. Now I already know that a lot of the visual benefits of ICS come mainly from theming and such, but its profoundly more exciting when the theming itself is coming from the creators of Android and not some hard-to-find source in the app market.
Lastly, I would appreciate it if you guys could give your thoughts on this. Are you excited to see the new direction the Android team along with Matias, are going in? Do you feel that they are focusing on some rather important points in the software (usability, framework, aesthetics) or not? And of course please keep the flaming and crude/rude comments to yourselves. Thanks all for listening to my rant.

+1 internets I totally agree!

As nice as ICS's upgrade would be...it's not in Sammy's or AT&T interest
Sammy want's device sales and AT&T wants new/renewed contracts. By limiting ICS to 2012 devices, it provides incentive for 2010/2011 device owners to pony up for the new hotness with the new software.
Now before anyone wants to say, "WAIT WAIT, Apple..." save it. We're not talking about Apple here. Sammy is the OEM and they control what happens for the product line.
Sure you can wait for a dev to 'hopefully' get around to releasing an ICS port and yeah, it may be decent. That's your choice.
My upgrade plans begin in 2013 when ICS should have a few months in the wild and become more mature. By then all my smartphones will be eligible for upgrade discounts. I have no issue with AT&T's service as they allow me to keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan.
I'd rather have ICS when it's grown up and not so much a baby. Also, fully functional on my device too would be nice.

Interviewer is huge fan of Apple I can see

The main reason i want ics is so i can impress my friends lol. It also just has features that i just like better. Im not going to die without it, but it would be nice with it. Im sorry guys who have to wait for their contract, both my parents have their upgrades up and both are fine if they get my infuse, and i get the note.

Joshua Topolsky! My man! He was the senior editor at Engadget.com before leaving to start theverge.com. He actually left his Apple iPhone after the 3gs I think. He soon thereafter bought a Nexus One. Which I think he still uses to this day. And touts it every chance he gets. He does however praise apple for incitefull design and craftsmanship. I mean he is in a business (tech blogging) that is notorious for praising the behemoth company(not that this is a good thing) But trust you me when I say he isn't afraid to drop the hammer on Apple when he voices his gripes over their products. I would venture to say that most blogging sites require their employees to work on Macbooks now though. It seems to me that they would rather choose a totalitarian system like the Macs because they are less prone to buginess and viruses. And when your in an industry that thrives off of having secure data on close deadlines and less vulnerabilities, Macs (imo) just do it better. I dont use a mac, never have, I have had an Iphone 3g one time for a while. But will probably never go back. Unless I become rich or something. You do have to admire their design principles though both physically and software wise. When you compare Apple's aesthetics to Androids up till now, its just no-contest which is more cohesive and well thought out.

Sent from my SGH-I897

funny thing is I used to frequent a guitar forum and a well known member was a Samsung senior cdma systems engineer and his phone was an iPhone. that was before cdma iPhones existed so he was obviously on att which is big in texas. he didn't boast about apple too much nor Samsung, basically the only things I remember that stood out was he refuted the idea that the apple products have Good audio. said the newer apple products are not as good as the older ones and suffered from clipping (overdrive basically) and boasted the galaxy s in that area. but when it came down to it he was a fan of ios for the accessories and high quality audio software (garage band for the ipad) and got an ipad 2.

i always have an upgrade....(4 lines=leverage) .. but i will not purchase another phone until ICS is available, especially because of updates. i want the note..but if no ics pre-installed..i aint buying.. i almost went to verizon for the nexus but they dont have good coverage where i travel

ICS should be important to everyone. Even if only for the principle of it.

even though some people will drop their Infuse's this Spring, Im really hoping some devs will still try to bring over ICS for the people who want to feel out the year on devices. I wish I wasnt so disorganized, otherwise i might actually have the capacity to learn how to develop. =/

Boycott HTC

Please support this by posting your dissatisfaction regarding HTC's recent actions regarding non removable batteries, no sd card, no USB host mode, and locked bootloader with the "flagship"(LOL) One series.
SGS3 is looking good! Sd card, replaceable/extended battery, and easily unlocked.

Seriously? They don't have the necessary technology? Are you for real? HTC has control over the phone. They have the technology I assure you. I am an IT professional(for 20+years), managed IT companies, deploy servers/networks, build servers, clients, deploy wireless links, etc, etc. and far more.
HTC said that all phones will be unlocked, not me, not att. HTC rolled over apparently for att, instead of standing their ground, according to recent news.
And yes I have had HTC phones for the last 10 years, administer many smartphones, and have flashed more roms than I can remember.
I am shocked how HTC has made so many mistakes with this One(pun intended). Could have truly been a world beater if it had sd card, upgradeable battery, host mode, and an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
Helping put pressure on HTC to put pressure on att is the ultimate goal. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, the quiet one gets ignored. Make some noise!

HTC doesnt have complete control of the phones in the US. The carriers have more control. They say if the bootloaders are locked or not and they control all updates sent out to the phones.
An a business level I cant blame them. If ATT said either lock them or we wont carry them then I would lock them down as well. We have to look at it from their point of view. They are in it to make money. ATT wants to cut back on the returns due to people messing with stuff most people have no business messing with. (happens more then you would think.)
We can complain all we want but in the end if you dont like it then do what i do and buy an international unlocked version and not worry about it.

Little bit of both to be honest. I see people getting into such an uproar without having all the facts. If people want to make a point then they should do so with all available info on it. I mean think about it. just for a hot min. If you were HTC what would you have done. Taken a 3 million device hit just to keep 1% of the users happy?
As for Apple there are far less issues with apple. If Android was as locked down as IOS then this would not be an issue

I have to agree with OP, even though the SGS3 is not as good looking as the One X, I will still go for the SGS3 because it has removable battery and storage which is important to me.
Sorry HTC you are trying hard to be Apple and you're not.

i agree !!
i like sgs3 than more htc one x

People gotta make money, and HTC is no exception. If you gotta boycott HTC, might as well boycott the spirit of capitalism.

oh wow, can't believe they'd do that. That's exactly like following how APPLE makes their products. But then again, HTC has other devices that aren't like that and will they be doing this to every new product that comes out?
Either way we should be grateful for the device. My Galaxy Nexus has no SD card but it's fine with me.

I disagree. It has something to do with HTC as well. Back at the end last year I got the vivid and we had to wait months and months for an unlock. We tried to urge both HTC and AT&T but they just pointed the finger at one another. Meanwhile, the GSII came to AT&T with no such problems. Even the skyrocket which came out at the exact same time of the vivid had no such issues. I'd be willing to bet the GSIII has no kind of problems with regards to rooting. HTC is just as much to blame for not keeping their promises, while Samsung doesn't have any such stipulations.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

The Apple example is excellent. At&t bends over for Apple. No bloatware on their phones what so ever. People are mad at HTC more they SAID no more locked boot loaders and put out a phone with a locked boot loader. Does anyone like people that talk out of their ass? That's the issue here.

True but if they saw any of the threads or the Facebook posts that are made they would smarten up, their Facebook page has a mass amount of people saying they will never buy an LG product as in no appliances either. I know a whole mess of xda users that aren't even just the g2x or its variants wont purchase again. I've stopped a few people from getting a g2x and other LG androids, cause they had no interest in rooting or modifying the phone. This phone stock, is not at all good enough for any one who depends on their phone. I'm sure the numbers from 2010 -2012 will show some decline.

From just looking at #'s from IDC, Samsung has dropped in popularity with respects to their sales figures:
Apple Passes LG for 3rd. The fact that LG still beats out HTC. 88.1 Million overall units sold (across their whole product line) is still a LOT.

Last LG phone I ever buy. Hello, Galaxy SIII...

me too even if i love my rooted phone with the genesis rom, the services is slow as snail for upgrading and i'm not surprised that when it comes out in Q3, my rom gonna kick the ass of the ICS update for sure...

Apple is running scared because they have inferior phone technology, and they will keep the competition out of the marketplace but rather in the hands of the US justice system.
HTC and Google need to lay the smack down and hold their ground, prove what is right and counter with the voice recognition and pull-down menu. Which were both around since the dawn of the G1.
Apple is a terrible company and this is yet another reason they don't give 2 $hits about the technology innovation by pushing the envelope further.

This looks like the demise of ios and leading to mass fragmentation, thus intern leading to multiple api's for their greatest brick ever.

They have to be sweating bullets since the acquisition of Motorola was finalized.

You know you're rooted when you high-jack the "you know your rooted" thread and replace it with "you hate apple when".
* You know your rooted when you spend more time watching your boot animation than playing angry birds.
* You hate Apple phone when you see a new one and your first thought is "I wonder how Android will look at that video resolution".
Cheers!

Add to that the fact that Microsoft is, according to my source, about to blow everyone away with WP8. Supposedly they are gearing up to take the mobile market by storm, and every objection I've raised (including fragmentation, quality of hardware, and lack of support for apps )was met with "I can't discuss it, but it won't be a problem."
I'm honestly intrigued.

Ya I totally did. That was certainly typo-tactic of me. At-least the apple part was relevant.

Samsung galaxy s 3 looks like a definate game changer. I like the idea of a removable battery and micro sd card. I think it will be available from t-mob on the 21st.
