Have a friend i work with who has a Iphone 5. He hasn't had a Android phone since 2011, which happened to be an Xperia Play . This was basically the phone that gave him his lasting impression of Android. Up until today
We were on break and he saw me using the multi window in conjunction with pen window and goes " what the f*ck. can that do the eye scrolling thing too?" Im like yea. He says " it pauses the video when you look away at it too?" Im like yea. So for the next 10 minutes i showed him action memo, scrapbooker, 4k video, a little Asphalt 8, and S Note. The look on his face after seeing all of this was priceless enough. But then he says "f*ck this ****" and throws his phone (which was in an otterbox) on the ground jokingly. Im not kidding. I say to him "come on man your good with the Iphone 5. i know you want that 5s.) He says "na i need that sh*t in my life."
It has to be one of the most rewarding feelings ever to have that happen lol.
Haha yeah, this is my favorite thing to do. I feel rewarded when I convert people!
Seems like samsungs gimmicky features are almost made for demonstration purposes (whens the last time you used air gesture out of convenience)
The thing that gets iphone users from my experience is the photo sphere, and how you can view them using the gyro.
I remember that in my next demonstration. hehe
hehehe, That because your friend not F IFan.
-Ifan everytime they hold their f phone they all said the best they don't accept world is bigger than they thought.
-I'm an FanDroid, hahaha.

Do you not also attend The Church of Android? Please, feel free to stop by this Sunday. We'll be preaching the good word of Andy Rubin and how he created Android in 7 days.

Wooo, you fixed someone that was brainwashed by apple It's always a good thing!
They truly are brainwashed.
After my photosphere demo this guy was trying to convince me that his iph5s panorama feature was better and mine was lacking by not having it.
He was speechless when I showed him we have stock panorama as well as photosphere.
Someone needs to make a 'how to convert an iphone believer' article.
Lol. Thats rich
Try not to bring him here, too much useless negativity here will make him rethink :-/

I have got 4 people at my office to order the note 3 , 2 others to order the S4 and 2 to change over to tmobile, at this point tmobile and Samsung should start paying me a commission
I convinced the guy who sold me my note 3 to get one.
Its always fun to go into a store and spit out more knowledge about the phones in the store than they know about.
He sold his 5 to get a 5s but got the note 3 instead.
Had a similar experience today. Went to find a working Note 3 demo unit at a retail store today. After contently checking out the Note 3 was playing around with iDevices since I was curious how many apps and browser tabs it would take to exhaust the low DRAM they're equipped with and cause memory used by background apps to be cleared thereby forcing a reload upon switching back and losing whatever I was working on. The iPad Mini is particularly bad with only 512MB DRAM where all it took was one browser tab displaying a mobile device review with a lot of comments and Apple maps with 3D enabled where task switching back to the browser caused a reload so if I was in the middle of writing a comment it would've been lost. While testing the same on iPhone 5S another customer wanders over and asks me what I thought of the iPhone 5S (he mentioned he currently owns an iPhone 4 something). While refraining from being critical such as not mentioning the toyish looking iOS 7, copy of Android's drop-down quick-access menu but swipe up and pop-up from bottom instead, non-intuitiveness with double-tapping the home button to task switch when that action is associated with zooming in (Android's long press makes more sense), what I was testing with low DRAM, etc. I merely mentioned that the experience was ok but the screen was too small and that it would be better with a bigger screen. He acknowledged and mentioned he's also looking into the Galaxy S4, I responded by suggesting the kick ass Note 3 but he says he's concerned with getting something too big then I pointed to my front pocket and asked if it looked too big and pulled out the Note 2. Commented that once you go big it's tough to go back. Shortly later I see him with the sales associate in front of the Note 3. Felt I saved a soul. :angel:

Yeeesssss, loft in its beauty. Feel it in your pocket.MMMMMMMMM. So good.
I bought mine on launch, and I still love. My only regret the is potential loss of tmobile, but the FCC seems to be leaning against that.
I really like it a lot. I think it's still the phone I'd choose today if I was in the market again; I've really appreciated the stock experience, especially post-2.3.3 patch, which fixed pretty much all my gripes with it.
I love it, but the only thing that I can think of to change is making the speaker audible when laid on it's back. I had a few missed calls because of this.
I love it. Started off a little bit slow, but things are starting to catch up... slowly.
I never get sick of the phone's looks. And getting the Case-Mate Pop Case made me even love it more.
Edit: Slow as in development.
I love it to death. The only way I would think of giving it up is if the deal goes through. Having a 3g phone with no 3g is lame.

Same with this guy.
my brother has one. ihave iphone 4. last week i bought one. used but almost brand new. not a single cratch with no visible gtid pattern on the matrix pentile screen. it was stunning.
i figured what the hell, i will try it for few days. if i like it, i will keep it and sell my iphone 4. if not i will return it to the store " store owner is my close friend "
so i played with it. i think its awesome. but i gave it to my brother since it was in better shape than my brothers and he sold his phone.
i use skype video calls almost daily. and i play alot of games. i figured i can live without the skype but it was a no go.
its funny how a small things can screw up big things.
all in all i think its one of the best phones in the market. and i recommend this phone over any andriod phone available right now.
unless optimus 2x will have a cracked bootloader, then i dont think any phone coming soon will top the nexus .
right now i am waiting for the xperia play. for the same reason, i play games alo :/
Interesting responses. I for one, do love mine. I don't think I could ask for more except 3g.

Then you'll complain about Samsung's delay on Android X.X. Just stay on the Nexus line and wait for the 3rd Nexus Phone.
Got mine as soon as Bestbuy opened on launch day, rooted it later that day as soon as Koush posted directions. Still love the phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone available now or that has been announced/rumored.

Why i might get an iPhone, it is a lot to read. But please do.
Ive had multiple phones within the past 2 years and the Captivate has treated me well. But I have grown old of the constant reflashing and updating. It all started with my first unlocked phone, the Xpressmusic 5800, then came the N97. I loved the N97 and its design but once again nokia failed and put a horrible processor in their flagship. Also symbian got too clunky for me and was unbearable. then came The Bold 9700 which was great for the first week but within 2 weeks i had moved back to the N97. A week later i got the Touch Pro 2 and fell in love with the keyboard but wasn't fond of the bulkiness. I flashed different roms and it was great but once again it was just way too thick. the Xperia X2 was next of my many phones. the physical keys, optical track pad, and perfect keyboard was one of the best i have ever used. After many months of waiting for a HSPL it never came. the Design was perfect but it was just too slow for my preference.
Then came the Captivate. Ive had this phone for nearly a year which is a feat for me. i got it for 450 the first week it was out and fell is love with the Amoled Screen. The first thing i plashed was bugless beast which got rid of bloatware and allowed me to install non market apps. went through different roms and though i love android its the same old trying to make it better with different roms. here i am using MIUI losing the theming which is fairly close to the iphone
Keep in mind i have a first gen touch and i use it daily in the car, my itouch has been the oldest peice of tech i have used and still works. i never got sick of the itouch and still use it.
My contract has been up a few months after i got the captivate and ive been waiting for something to replace the captivate. i always admired the iphone 4 design but was waiting for maybe the new iphone 5. Just a few days ago they released that the iphone 4 WHITE was going to be released soon, which leads me to believe that the iphone 5 isnt going to be released this year.
I have used every mobile OS and IOS is the only os that i havnt gotten sick of yet.

That's a shame man. The white iPhone is pretty (I'd personally wait for the iPhone 5) but with the way I use my cappy I don't think I could do it. Drag and drop music and videos is something the iPhone will never do, and I use my captivate the most for those two things. On the flipside, you can be more social with an iPhone and it's FaceTime and the fact everyone has one and that sorta thing. Personally, I'm sticking with the cappy, at least until iPhone 6 or Galaxy s3
I honestly would never trade my cappy for an iphone.
I can barely live with the same rom and launcher for more than a few weeks, imagine having an uncustomizable phone.

I have a captivate, and well, love the way I can customize it to suit me. I tried using an iphone 4 for a couple days, but couldn't stick for more than a few hours. I don't say iphone 4 is bad, but its the feeling of "freedom" that I feel with captivate that I can't seem to let go of it. I came to Captivate after using 3GS for about an year.
Anyways, in the end, its all ur personal decision to go from a free land to alcazar prison. All I can say is all the best in ur move. But don't expect to get too far in the waters since all that can be done is jailbreak.
Since u waited this long, why not wait till June? Its just about a month from now, and if there is a new model then u'd be sitting holding ur head.
judging by his history, he doesnt research before he buys, just buys whats cool. He'll get it play with it for a month then come back to the captivate and unlock it for his new contract he'll pick up with the icrap....
when he could just unlock it now and become a monthly customer. no contract! with a phone without limitations... except ff camera.
oh friggin well.
peace the F out!
see you in a month...

Last December my wife asked an Iphone 4S as gift, knowing already the device and the way Apple working I tell her not to go for an Iphone cause it's expensive for the specs and only work in one way, the way Apple want it to work.
The answer was "My friends have an Iphone, it's pretty and they can install many things really amazing!!!" with the same eyes than puss in boots. How can I resist, even if I start being bellyache just by thinking that it's me who'll be in charge to take care of the phone for the setting and all stuff that can be made on the phone.
This month I finally can decide which Android phone i want to buy, a HTC Sensation XE. At the beginning my wife start being jealous with my phone, cause I spent severals hours to flashing and personalize my phone, she didn't want to use my phone, on and on.
Then last week we went to a coffee shop and her Iphone was out of battery. As she like watching Korean drama all the time she couldn't resist asking for my phone. After 5 minutes spent to navigate on the menu and loading heavy website with flash videos and other features she looked at me with the same eyes as before and said "I want an Android phone!", saying "Iphone is too strict, can't do what I want and personalize the phone that much. Since then I no longer can enjoy my phone at a coffee shop. Wtf!!!
So, now if I want to enjoy my phone while she is watching her drama at coffee shop, my only solution is to buy another Android phone...

lol xD, yeah the older androids are pretty ****teh.
First of all, I'm a die hard WP7 user through and through. Social interaction, stability, and quick gaming, as well as a good ecosystem of interconnected services are what I'm after in a phone, and so it's the ideal option for me. That said, I try to be as fair as possible in my judgment of other devices. I recently picked up a Nokia N9 and an Xperia play as alternate phones to my Lumia 800 (which has since been upgraded to the Lumia 900) for comparison purposes. The first thing I tested on these two devices, since it's the one thing I miss on WP7, is emulation. Honestly, despite the perfect controls on the xperia, I kept going back to the more "pure" Linux experience of meego for emulation. This was due primarily to the app emumaster which has all your basic emulators cooked into one app with great developer support and outstanding framework. The xperia's controls are awesome, but the low quality of the ps1 emulators I could find left a lot to be desired. The feature that Android really stole the show with, was the market. I left android October of 2010 for the most part aside from picking up random great deals on Craigslist. I most recently tried the Gnex, and it seemed to have a lot of the issues that put me on the prowl in the first place still, so I was not smitten. However, the progression of the app market is phenomenal, a far cry from the doldrum mess that I was forced to search through in my time with android. The new Google Play point is great and feels a lot less like a beta test than it did before. While I'll always prefer WP7's dynamic UI, I much preferred Meego's to android's. There are no "official" widgets yet, but even without, the three home screens have all the info you need and the lock screen is great. It offers a, "sleeping clock" feature where even when the phone is asleep, the clock is still displayed, as well as your notifications. After double tapping on that, you have more specific notifications over a background pic of your choosing, you can swipe on any of these to open the app direct, or just swipe the whole homescreen off which leads to the homescreens, one has all your apps complete with folders. The next, shows all the apps you have currently running. True multi-tasking an astonishing 19 apps and no real hiccups. Amazing. Then, there's your notifications tab, it keeps your notifications as well as a list of your social network mews feed on hand. Everything just feels easy and intuitive. Android, sadly, still felt pretty much the same, I guess if it's not broke, don't fix it, but there's better UI options. Overall, the xperia Play got the least play, not because it's a bad device, but it's just not what I need. The N9 is great, but suffers some of the same issues android does. It is, however, a good meeting point between android and WP7 and was abandoned far too early. Neither pulled me from WP7, but unfortunately, I now try to double-tap my 900 to unlock it.

Not sure what the point of this post is.
E; oh, text wall. It looks like copying it misconstrued my formatting.
That should've stuck with Meego. That would've been a real 4th OS.
Nokia can't shine with Wp7.

The Lumia 900 seems to be doing quite well for itself, replacing the iPhone as ATT's hero device. I can't wait to see what the 610 does in India.
I read somewhere that at&t associates doin a disservice for customers. It seems iPhone is still the hero device, salespeople still pushing the iPhone and not giving the lumia900 a chance.

They sell what they know, unfortunately most att reps know little about phones.

Wow for them just to say that I will say one thing well a couple.
1st smart phone - w as iPhone 3GS 16gb. Loved it..... When I had it.
2 nd smart phone - htc hd7. Was okay not many apps. Hated metro tiles.
3rd smart phone -galaxy s2 i9100- LOVE IT MORE THEN ANYTHING. Awesome phone. Went to go get a iPhone 4s . But I thought and my friend said u have to try andriod. Now he was right not goin to any other Os ever again.
For her to say iPhone as a high end device is funny.
Guys I have im extremely dissapointed in android. And to lesser extend the devs. No offense to anyone but I just had to rant here.
Being a longtime iPhone user I finally found a nice phone that will take me away from iPhone, the nexus 5.
To my absolute shock, there's no CNAP support on these devices. Name display of a number that's not stored in your phone book. Herein Canada rogers and Fido offer this service, which I m subscribed to.
Being a business user its a must have for me. And seeing as how old 10 year old phones support this, I'm absolutely floored android doesn't. The closest thing is if you miss a call you'll see the name but as soon as you click call log it goes back to number
A user last year (on xda) found the fix and posted a patch with website but links are down. No one else, no Dev has fixed it. Its supposedly a really simple fix modding build file or patching frameworks I'm not sure. But I've tried everything. I've flashed 20 different Roms and nothing. A cm9 nightly had it but no longer is it enabled in the newer stuff.
I give up. I'm switching back to iPhone and never looking back. No CNAP on android devices is INSANE, not to mention the lack of a properly integrated visual voicemail. As far as I'm concerned android still a step behind.
Cool story bro
nice to see you go, dont let the door hit you on your way out

Your opinion is your own just as mine is. I find Iphones in general not my cup of tea. I find them bland,boring and way too small. The only thing I think they have going for them is the build materials but aside from that I don't think I could ever classify an iPhone on the same level.
If I were to buy an iPhone it would be used and would be permanently an iPod at my workplace and that's what I think they should be.
By the way I have had an iPhone 3g and iPhone 4s and I won't be going back.

I agree 100% they are small and visually very boring. Thats why i want to jump ship. However when this was an issue for iPhone in 4s it was fixed and was never an issue again.
And for those taking offense sorry to irritate you but my phone is first a phone if basic call features work, then you have issues.

And how do you think *****ing about it on a forum full of android fans is going to help you? This is a developers forum, not a complaint box.

You're missing the point. Phone is on kijiji already. I dont need help anymore. If it cant be fixed in 3 yesrs it wont be. But for a closed minded android users that defend defend defend. Guess what iPhone is better. And next release when the phone is at 5" and they implement solar charging it will be no contest... Again!
Funny how only response to this issue in two weeks is when I say iPhone has it enabled for years.
Haha enjoy mediocrity!
FYI nexus 5 from sprint has an add-on service for this exact thing. So I think it's more of the carriers stopping this rather than the device lacking the ability.
I might be wrong but who knows. Also what android phone were you using?

Iphone ahead of Android, news to me. I thought that the only OS, that can wake you up and tell you exactly how long to work is ahead of every other. Man you cant even put constant changing weather on your home screen. Emulation on iphone is a joke. No nfc, they just got LTE. Iphone 5s has the same dpi as the iphone 4. Everyone know that the notifications are a thousand times better on Android. I have never had a issue with peoples names not showing during a call, im confused because sync is vetter on Android also?

For someone who's is mocking close minded android users you seem pretty choose minded. iOs is fine and for a lot of users and is what they should stick with. For others it's not for them. We each have a personal choice.

You definitely won't be missed sir. Enjoy your little, cute iPhone.

It's your own fault for not doing your research, OP.
This thread is pointless and you should be banned.
You won't be missed. Not because I hate Apple, I have a mac, but because you have no idea what you're talking about. You can't even spell "Android" right. You said "Andriod". So you're right....Andriod sucks, but Android doesn't.
Iphone 5s still has alot of battery issues also

If you don't need help anymore, then why post here? Clearly you just want to stir the pot, as there is no other point to your posting. You like your iPhone and don't like Android, we get it. Do you want a cookie or a medal?
