My mrs has a 4s, my mum has a 4, and my dad has a 4. They are 3 typical people who have Apple stuff that are in no way fans of Apple but happen to have their products..

Like most apple users you are missing the point...

they may not be fans by choice, but they most definately are sheep led by the shephard that is apple marketing....

I dont care how good their phones are I would not purchase one just because I dont like apple or anything they stand for...

I just bought a iphone 5, my galaxy s1 was a peice of shit and always f*cked up on me. It has everything i need, i didn't purchase it because of "apples marketing". Actually, my girlfriend works for telstra and put one aside for me and brought it home, i actually didn't choose it lol.

or waas it this? as there was no SG1

either way your trying to compare a phone the is 3 years old top or 2 years old bellow

I love that.

"ZOMG, my Nokia N95 is such a piece of shit compared to a phone that released mere days ago! Totes getting an ipoo5 cause it's 10000timez better than my piece of shit N95!

Well f**king duuuuuur.

Interestingly, the Ipoo5 barely matches my 6 months old HTC Velocity and gets spanked by the SIII.

I've had worse comparisons

i blame the childs parent

(14yr) - "im so getting an iPhone when i can my Huawei is a piece of shit and iPhone shits all over it"

(Me) - "well dur your comparing a $800 phone to a $80 phone"

Like most android users you are missing the point. Android is more complicated to use, something most people can do without.

I'm getting used to my sgs3 but it's nowhere near as intuitive as an iphone. I am appreciating it's flexibility, but I'm sure many people don't.

really, complicated, REALLY :blink:

I didn't just say it was 'complicated'. I said it was 'more' complicated, by which I was making an obvious comparison to iOS.

Case in point: The series of buttons across the top of the notification tray (GPS, WIFI, Power Saving etc). Now while I see what they're trying to do here, by offering high level control to the user.. but why do I have to choose to have GPS off? Shouldn't it just come on when it's needed? Why do I have to make the choice between good battery life and good performance? I'm sure that one day when I'm running low on juice I'll appreciate it, but most of the time I don't want to know about it!

That's me, someone who actually understands the implications of using those features. What about your nanna, or your mum? They are just going to stare at those buttons in bewilderment, which is what I'm getting at. iOS hides all that shit away, which makes it functionally simpler to operate.

The whole "complicated" argument is amusing.

Seriously. How dumb do you have to be to think the extra simplicity of iOS over Android is a bonus?

Why would I wrote my name with a pen and a bit of paper when I can dig shit out of my undies and smear my name on the wall? Doesn't get much easier than writing with your own faeces, does it?

Interestingly, with the GPS, you can turn it off on an iPhone but you have to navigate through four different screens to get there. I have the GPS widget on my screen one left of my main screen. Don't get much easier than that if you ask me. I barely ever use my GPS so why would I want it on all the time?

You can make Android look just like iOS. Simply drag the necessary apps, icons and widgets onto one of the pages. How on earth can you claim iOS is easier? I simply don't get it.

EDIT: SFSC, that's not just directed at you. I hear the "it's just easier" argument a lot from the iSheeple at work and it perplexes me.

First time I've agreed with the shit you dribble on here sometimes. I find the 'more complicated' arguement amusing when, for a power user, in a lot of ways its more difficult. GPS is a good example. 4 screens to do a one click thing in Android.

1.5 days with an iPhone and each have their pros and cons. I did have a chuckle when I was told I could customise my 'widgets' though...

And so once again, a thread about Apple has turned into an Apple VS Android thing, minus pics of boobs.

It also reminds me of the old "console war" days.

I don't get why everyone is so worked up on where others spend their money.

Nevertheless,

Repped.

Yep android is easy. I only use my Bluetooth when making a call when driving, so i have it off all day, then when i ring the missus on the way home i just tap a button and it's on. Takes me 2 second. I do it while walking across the car park. The only time i use gps it's when I'm on my bike (strava app) or if I'm looking for somewhere and i don't have the car gps with me, but even then i often don't need to turn the gps on. But you can just leave it on and it just stays in standby mode until an app actually uses it. But there are times when you dont want apps geotagging you and it can be easier to leave the gps off than disable location services.

But my brother in law lined up at 7am to buy 2 iphones. He got cut when i showed him the Samsung advertising. I had a good chuckle, as i posted it on his facebook status about how he loves his new iPhone, and when someone asked him what it was like he said "pretty much just like the old one, but a bit faster." Then came my link to the ad. About 2 mins later he deleted his status.

I'm sorry but thats a pretty poor argument for android being more complicated. Your saying that a button that gives you the choice to have GPS with one swipe from the home screen, is mor complicated then iOS where you have to navigate through menu's to do the same thing.

The GPS works pretty much exactly the same on both devices, and both have the option to have it on or off.

I dont think the Android is more complicated, it just feels more complicated after coming from iOS. I just like what the widgets on the android do. The home screen personalisation is much better.

While I cant say my iPhone 4 was a bad phone, I much perfer android over iOS

Reckon your nanna would know, or care that you can do that?

Your inability to pull your head out of your arse is astounding. The vast majority of people do not know how to customise their phones, nor would they give a shit if they could.

The number of steps to turn it off/on is not what I was getting at. You don't need to turn the GPS off in iOS because it only comes on when it's needed.

EDIT: I think I need to clarify my point. I'm a systems analyst so I perhaps see things a little differently to most.

The whole concept of a 'smart' phone, is a device that is exactly what you want it to be at that point in time. So whether that's a GPS, a gaming system, a word processor, or even (gasp) a phone, the device should take info from its bewildering array of sensors to deliver intelligent functionality. In addition, intelligent software design should make things as simple as can be, or automate things wherever possible. This means that, in the case of smart phones, every time you are required to manually switch things off, close programs or lower performance to save battery - that's a failure of the operating system to properly manage resources based on the normal usage of the device.

You shouldn't have to change anything to get at least a full day's usage out of your phone.. that's my point. I realise batteries are shitty too but that's a whole 'nutha kettle of fish.

^^ whilst you do make some good valid points ......

ITS AN iPhone....

apple would have us believe its the best thing since sliced bread

on the Nana argument either Android or iPhone would suit her needs because a good salesman would show her how to 1) call someone 2) text someone 3) email someone

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
