alan-d Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I'm getting a Galaxy S. Massive screen with awesome performance. It has loads of cool stuff too, like Allshare which is a DLNA app to stream to and from compatible devices, as well as acting as a bridge. Codec support includes DivX and h.264. My sons gf has one and it does look very good. Seems a bit on the chunky side though. (The phone, not his gf ) 1
PEO Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 PEO, which IPhone 3G have you got? I've just stuck my 16gb one on Mazuma and they're giving me £183 for it! Definitely worth looking at :-) Really!! that's more than what I expected. I have the 16gb iphone 3g. still, I think Mazzuma will probs not pay out as much once the iphone 4 is well established 1
DSapseid Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 16gb 3g iphone £185 if you recycle with o2 as per my link above 1
broc Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I'd definitly get Android, but if you can hang on just a few more weeks, it looks like some fantastic new phones are on the way out... Which phones are you referring to? 1
jamesb Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Do something interesting and get a non-Google, non-Apple phone. There're plenty out there. Otherwise you're just playing into the hands of the Great Lizard Conspiracy! 1
Haptic Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Go Android!!! However don't do as I did with the Nexus One....love the phone....but can't see evidence of anyone else here owning one! 1
truslack Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 PEO, which IPhone 3G have you got? I've just stuck my 16gb one on Mazuma and they're giving me £183 for it! Definitely worth looking at :-) I had an 8GB 3G with a completely smashed screen, and in general tatty condition - it sold for £186 on ebay. 1
LosOjos Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Which phones are you referring to? Dell have some awesome looking phones on the way, the Thunder for a start: Stunning Android based 'Thunder' Follows Lightning In Dell Leaks - Mobile Phone News - TrustedReviews 1

SYNACK Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Android 2.2 can now get the beta of the latest version of Flash Player Adobe Labs - Adobe Flash Player 10.1 so if you want to look at any flash content Android has that going for it as well. 2
browolf Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I've never owned either but I hate the control apple has over its products, so they're automatically off the table. I refuse to own an i-anything. 1
Snarf Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Bought an iPod 12 months ago, bought a Milestone 6 months ago, haven't used the iPod since. I find the Android approach more flexible and slicker, you can have a load of icons spread across loads of home screens if you want or you can have a mix of shortcuts, widgets and other stuff. There are even iPod / Phone themes about for Android if you're that sad, mind you, there are WiMo7 themes as well.
CyberNerd Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 It was posted here on another thread - it's basic but it has worked on the couple of occasions I have used it. ProxySetting-signed.apk - proxysetting - ProxySetting v1.0 (available on the Android Market) - Project Hosting on Google Code A bit hit and miss i found. Which phones are you referring to? Samsung LED Projector phones ! World's first android projector phone by Samsung - SiliconIndia
LosOjos Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 If you haven't already made your mind up to go Android, this thread should be the final nail! http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/58643-iphone-4-aerial-issues.html
jbamforth Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I got nexus one from google in jan and love it especially with 2.2 froyo on there's so much customization with android which you just don't get with apple i'd go android everytime
webman Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Android 2.2 has native tethering and portable wifi hotspot feature. Used it last night for the first time and it works flawlessly.
jbamforth Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I've got a nexus and quite happy every tom dick and harry doesn't own one its an exclusive club its the android phone thats gonna be 1st inline to all googles updates hence why i'm now sporting froyo

Do you buy designer hammers? Having said that I have considered a Nexus and may get one at some point, but not because it makes me a member of some exclusive little club. That attitude, if anything, puts me off buying one.
creese Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 It's a phone, a tool. Do you buy designer hammers? Not a great analogy. What type of hammer, Rubber? Sledge? Claw...... Try buying a hammer that does all of those. I'd list the things my Android does, other than make a phone call occasionally, but don't have the time. It may be called a phone but that is probably 5% of why I own it.

If you were going to buy a chisel, would you buy the cheapest one Wickes makes, or spend a little extra to get the job done properly and buy a black & decker? Buying a named product isn't always about it being 'designer' (although I have to say, I think with Apple products it is a lot of the time), it's about getting the best quality product that will do the best job within your price range.

My issue was more with the mention that someone liked the fact that not everyone owns one, since that way it's an exclusive club. The analogy was aimed at that, not aimed to criticise the phone itself.
