Re: my homescreen

A future proof phone? I think you're just deluding yourself. Five years from now, everything on the market today will seem like a silly toy, and today's phone will be sitting in a shoebox in your closet.

who said anything about five years? 2.5 years and you're into a hup anyways. . .none of my phones have needed to last more than about 3 years, max. lol, who knows, maybe in 2.5 years the iphone will finally have the processing speed, gorilla glass, features, and screen size of my samsung gs2x. . .one can only hope

Anyone buying an Android or RIM phone after this fiasco is a fool :lol:

They're tracking every single button you press! LOL and people complained about anonymous location caches being sent to Apple :lol:

what a complete non-issue.

took me all of 10 seconds to discover it wasn't installed by telus on my phone.

is that the best apple fanbois can do? lol. . .weak.

huge difference between an invasion of privacy caused by individual carriers (in the u.s., btw) installing third party software, and the parent company/manufacturer doing it. . .not even in the same league. it's not samsung that is grabbing info, it's the cellphone company (and not even all of them).

it IS however apple that is collecting the location caches, REGARDLESS of provider/carrier. i can spot the difference. most people can. . .

Re: my homescreen

"processing speed" eh?

so much for processing power... I love nerds and their spec sheets

lol

Looks like your fancy "processing speed" can't even keep up with an old iPhone4 let alone the new 4S :lol:

really?

where's the 1.5ghz processor in my phone actually listed on your comparison? all i see are 1.2ghz older gen galaxy phones, and the new nexus, which nicely spanks the iphone4/s

and help us understand the tests that you've clipped here: by 'browser' performance, are we to believe that a stock browser on my phone, the gs2x, running on a much faster network, at true 4g and lte network speeds will somehow run slower than the 3.5g iphone 4s?

or are they crippling the 4g samsung phones to run at the same network capacity as the older, slower 3.5g standard iphone4s, in order to test the speeds of the 'browser'?

Re: my homescreen

lolz

the lolz is pretty clear. . .

he's citing a comparison of stock browsers, which is a software comparison, not a hardware one, to suggest that the iphone's processor speed is superior. it's not.

frankly, no android user uses the stock browser that comes with the phone. opera, dolphin, etc. are all much faster.

furthermore, all of the devices in that comparo are running the latest ios update (ios5), which has given them a temporary boost in effective performance, but again, software based, not hardware, not processor.

when ics updates roll out shortly, using both cores on my phone (from the single core that gingerbread currently uses), then we'll see how an ios5 iphone4s stacks up against my ics (running on dualcore 1.5ghz) powered gs2x compares. . .and maybe, just maybe we won't see such apples to oranges comparisons. . .

C'mon, its an Apple product. Its automatically better. Jobs said so.

a jailbroken blackberry

its called Dingleberry. its the first time a blackberry has been jailbroken.

[video=youtube_share;VgvFHUClRKA]http://youtu.be/VgvFHUClRKA[/video]

Apple Isn’t the Only Company Who Worries About Jailbreaking

There’s a new jailbreak in town, and it isn’t for the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. Research In Motion PlayBook tablet has been jailbroken. For the first time in the Blackberry maker’s history, hackers have gained root access to the OS.
Why is this a big deal? Not only is it the first official “jailbreak” to occur outside of Apple’s ecosystem, but it’s also a slap in the face to RIM’s enterprise-minded, security-conscious mindset.
BGR is reporting that RIM’s Playbook has indeed been jailbroken, and we know that the hacker responsible is none other than Chris Wade (@cmwdotme), a respected member of the iOS jailbreak scene. He calls his jailbreak “Dingleberry.”

According to Reuters, the Playbook runs a different OS than RIM’s Blackberry phones. However, RIM is planning to incorporate the QNX system into its smartphones next year.
RIM has built its brand on being the most secure mobile platform available. The White House chooses Blackberrys over iPhones because of their seemingly-uncrackable ecosystem. You had better that RIM is doing everything it can to make sure this jailbreak doesn’t become highly publicized. (Oops!)
Nice work, Wade. It’s refreshing to see that Apple isn’t the only company that has to worry about jailbreaking anymore.

Sounds like a BUNCH OF EXCUSES to me lol

Oh you're not comparing the right browser... or the right software, or the right revision, or the right blah blah blah... excuses :lol:

Your phone got spanked by an iPhone4. Throw that thing in the garbage.

Nearly twice the performance, with a SLOWER processor? But how is that possible */nerd's head explodes* BUT HOW! IT HAS MORE MEGAHURTZ@#!

first off, again, my phone is not even in that comparison. reading comprehension fail.

second, it is clearly testing browsers, which is software. my 'phone' didn't get beat by the 'iphone'. the stock browser (garbage) on those android phones was beaten by safari.

third, you still haven't explained how a 3.5g phone can ever beat a 4g lte phone in real world use. ever. even with the old android os, even with the stock browser. lol, sure, the 3.5g capability of the iphone browser will beat the lte capability of my phone if i cripple it down to the same speeds that the apple phone can handle. yep, that is a perfect comparison.

and what will you be saying when ics is out, and the charts show the ios5 devices lagging behind on those same charts???

lol, in your logic a is b, software = hardware, browser = processor, as long as it somehow proves you correct. . .

got it. . .

this is precisely why apple fanbois have a bad name. . .

this: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/android-ios4-iphone-4-nexus-one-google,10818.html
and this: http://www.knowyourcell.com/news/532481/android_22_obliterates_ios_4_in_javascript_benchmarks.html

this is how old ios4 performed against old android
i predict the same headlines when ics benchmarks against ios5

then what?

ios5 was a good response, but the next gen android is already here, and there will be pwnage when it goes wide

this is a serious question:

do you actually know what is shown by the charts you are posting?

because the gpu comparison is not the same comparing as the 1.5ghz cpu i'm talking about.

when you write " Nearly twice the performance, with a SLOWER processor", and then paste a chart showing gpu performance but cite the slower cpu. . .

if you bothered to read the sources you cite, you'd know that the iphone4s received a massive gpu upgrade that, while not impacting cpu benchmarks, gives it a huge graphics bump over just about everything on the market today. yes, in terms of gpu, the iphone4s is best, for a few more days.

however, when the nexus prime hits the stores next week or so, there will be blood. . .

. . .gorgeous super amoled, bigger screen (even bigger than mine, at 4.65"), fully optimized ics os for a dual core 1.5ghz cpu, identical gpu to iphone4s, gorilla glass, etc., etc.

Re: my homescreen

It seems the Droid mantra is "The next one will show you" yet it never materializes. There is much more to the smart phone experience than spec sheets and mhz. How something performs and its optimization is #1. By its very nature android has to be a jack of all trades. It can't specialize to work amazing with a specific set of hardware because that changes every month. its the nature of the beast.

apple wasn't the only one, people just didn't bleet as loud about google doing it (they also cataloged your wireless signal when they drove by your house).

So 2.5 years, to you, is future proofing? You actually spend time worrying about that, but 5 years is just way too long for you "lol"?

Seriously dude. It's a phone. It'll be good for the next couple of years, but it'll be obsolete. There's no future proofing of mobile phones.

Why do you post stuff, and then just change the terms of the argument every time someone disagrees with you?

 

[mmmnaked]

Much like with PCs, it appears nerds get frothy nerdgasms over specs and numbers for their phones.

Whereas Apple users don't give a dick about the hardware specs as long as the performance is there. It's like everyone bashing the iPad for not having a gig of ram, meanwhile it does everything exceptionally well because of the hardware-software harmony that only companies like Apple pull off seamlessly.

Android handset manufacturers stuff their phones with the fastest processors to overcome design inefficiencies that come from all that fragmentation. When you license an OS from another company and paste it into your hardware, it's never gonna run like an Apple device.
