Are You A Pc Or Mac User?

[kawasakirider]

Righto, so you know my situation better than I do.

So, you've had four phones in 16 months. Why? I await your back peddling and BS excuses.

We have about 15 people with work provided phones. Since I started there we have gone from 3's to 4's. In total at least 10 of the 30 odd phones have shit themselves.

Apples are notorious for being utter shit. That's simply fact. We also have 9 iPads, two of which have died (although one was the GMs personal device) and eight iMacs, two of which have also died (we have 26 PCs and 9 laptops, one of which had the HDD die). That's in just over two years (since I started). And try all you might to deny what I say as truth, but I'm the poor schmuck who has to set these pieces of shit up everytime one dies.

You want to know how many HTCs I've been through in the past two years? Two. My original Desire, which my wife still uses (she's since passed her two year old Wildfire onto her mum) and my Velocity which I upgraded to in the release week. Neither have died.

It's great you find the iOS so fantastic. But seeing as you find Android a little too complex, I'm not surprised. Seriously, if Android confuses you then you need to make sure you have a cork on the end of your fork so you don't take out an eye when trying to eat your dinner after you mum has cut it up for you.

Ok, here is why I've had 4 iPhones...

I had one with Telstra, the plan was shit so I gave it to my mother and got another one on Optus.

If you can count, that's two so far. In a rush, I stupidly left the Optus phone on the roof of my car and it got ran over multiple times. When I found it on the road an hour later, it still worked.

The third one I got from apple which was a refurb to replace the one that was ran over. About a week later, Optus rang me and said I could upgrade to a 4S for free if I extended my contract. I've been happy with Optus due to their value (although I'll concede that Telstra has superior service), so I chose to extend the plan and got the 4S.

That 4S brings me to my fourth iPhone and the refurb from apple was sold.

I dropped every single one multiple times, once my gf grabbed me a pair of shorts off the table that I'd put my phone on and she flung the phone across a room and it smacked onto a tile floor, no damage.

The only damage on any of my phones (apart from the one that got ran over) has been around the silver band where it has been chipped from concrete.

I never said android was complex, I said it wasn't seamless and didn't work as well or feel as polished as iOS.

PC's die and get slower, my Mrs' mac book pro has been going hard for years without a drama. I don't have a mac so I'm not a fanboy, I just know how well they work.

Rofl nothing like free publicity

My ex just made the switch from iPhone 4s to S3 and she is loving it, I told her how to easily get contacts from iPhone to Android and is even happier again

I'm telling you my iPhone doesn't have a broken screen. Your argument is invalid.

Hahaha...I was going to point out the folly of his post, but was on my phone at the time and CBFed.

Google "Android broken screen" and get a bunch of apps to prank people with to make them think their screen is broken.

Repeat process with "iphone broken screen" and see hundreds of pictures and posts of people complaining about their broken iphone screen.

Nice own goal there, SFSC.

[Cowboy1600]

That's sheer brilliance.

I like the Samsung marketing department.

[Dani Boi]

I <3 Samsung

Im not invested either way in this argument, because i think that both apple and samsung produce shit quality products. Its only really Google who have impressed with android

If and when they turn their Motorola handset into something competitive, i think we're all going to see just how integral do our daily lives these things will be

Googles move into investing in those glasses they told us about last year may very well kill the handset all together

How fekin' sweet would those glasses be

I'm really keen to see the Nokia Win8 phones myself.

I was a huge Nokia fanboi until it became obvious Symbian had been left behind. I've spent a bit of time on the pre-release Win 8 and I reckon it's got real potential.

[ctjet]

Dunno enough about the new Nokia to get too pumped about it

It's more than likely ill be running windows 8 at home pretty soon, makes sense to tie that in with a windows 8 phone too

Was merely pointing out that claiming no android screens had ever been broken was retarded.

Also, I wonder if that's because apple have been selling the same product with refreshes annually since 2007? Compared to the eleventy billion varieties of android..

[ctjet]

yeah... variety

pfft

fcuk that shit hey

[Madaz]

even the 11tybillion argument is flawed as there are far more android devices based on more manufactures

= even more chance for Android phones to be broken

[SoFreshSoClean]

My point was, you'd have to do a search for every model of android, rather than just one search for iPhone..

Neither is better that the other, they all use the same glass!

And at what point did anyone claim such a thing?

You f**ked up. That's all there is. And it was a funny f**k up cause it completely destroyed your claim that iPhones are hardy and Android are susceptible to breaking just as much.

Apple holds about 18% of the smartphone market. Android around 70%.

One is obviously better because it isn't notorious for smashing it's screen.

I love coming back to see how this thread is going.

It always brings the entertainment.

On a serious note i will also be looking for a windows 8 based phone for my next one when my contract runs out in February.

I do not know a single iPhone user who has not had the screen shatter on them. I do not know a single Android user who has had the screen shatter on them.

You did. And your figures are wrong.

[Cowboy1600]

More fail....

The Asian market is heavily Android biased and is as big if not bigger than the US market.

And I said I do not know a single iPhone user who has not had the screen shatter. To break that down for you it means out of all the people I know who haved owned an iPhone, every single one of them has smashed a screen at some stage. it does not mean evey person in the world who owns an iPhone has had the screen shatter.

One concession I will give, I'm talking about my immediate friends/family. I'm not counting acquaintances or work colleagues.

China sales

What else ya got?

[jaffadrifts]

Out of my 4 iPhones no screens broken.

With one of my 3 galaxy s 2's the screen shattered from in cabin pressure when catching a plane from bris to Sydney. Samsung not willing to cover it under warranty when it was in my suit jacket pocket not a back pocket and sat on or anything.
