Probablly one of the most stupidest things I hate about Carriers is they give you shitty phones for some jacked up price...
So, I have an HTC Eris, and I absolutely hate it. I have gone through 6 of them and I can personally say it is a peice of shit.
What I want to know is, what is your personal opinion getting a different phone?
Im in the market for finding a new phone, and I want a Smartphone.
that has a Android operating system on it, and isnt the HTC Eris, plus I dont want to spend an assload for it too.

i dont have a cell phone.

Well, I'm black. So naturally I have a Metro PCS phone. I've got a Blackberry knockoff that only cost 40 bucks. It's complete shit though.

and if you touch me I can guarantee that you never type again

Mm, the proactive kind. Are you one of those" mild mannered Christian housewife who secretly lusts for BDSM" types? I'm not too proud to roleplay a little.

I'm not a House wife and I care little for religion, but thanks for the not-really-compliment?innocent

What are you wearing right now? I've got an open umbrella and nothing else.

I have a Blackberry Storm 2, and a stupid iPhone. I hate the new iPhone. It's drastically annoying.

Can I have it?

lol everyone and their brother has a blackberry of some sort. Fact is that it's not the cellphone that's expensive it's the service. I got like a $10 phone with a $45 a month service plan chill

If you ever came to Chicago, I'd probably just give it to you. Not going to lie.

I have an HTC Hero. Works fine for me.

Yay I live in Indiana, Kaibs I'll be there in 2 hours XD

I use this phone with sprint:

Android is a fine platform. I have the HTC Dream also known as the T-Mobile G1 and I have been quite happy with it, though lately the hardware is giving out, I suppose if you get the first device of a new platform there'll always be some problems, just think of the first iPhone. I will definitely get another Android when my contract is running out...2.3 should be out by then, will be sweet. I also have an iPod, I do kinda like the iOS, but it is somewhat limited, and I ****ing hate the syncing with iTunes so, so much.

I have FireFox internet
fox


Which is better than a cellphone!

I have Firefox on my phone

And 6 South Park sluts in your sig :P

And Heisenberg in my avy.

EXACTLY!

I have an iPhone 4 and it works just fine for me. I just don't understand all the hate for iPhones. Plus, if I may brag, my dad has worked for AT&T for over 35 years, and I have the premium package with no phone bill for myself or my wife. All I had to do was actually purchase said phone.

Well then no, you may not brag
bawling

Well the iPhone is limited in many ways, I do like it in many ways, it has the best 3rd party apps definitely. If you want a functional, pretty phone the iPhone is alright really, I do suggest it to my less computer savvy friends.

bleh

Limited how? I've heard this said many times, yet I'm uncertain as to what exactly they meant, would you extrapolate?

i haz a Nokia at the moment, but im getting the Huwai Ascend for christmas awesome

Wow...you are poor Lies is what they are...LIES!!

Cell phones are cool but I think they have a definite con of people thinking that you're supposed to be available to talk at all times. I miss the days of talking comfortably at home with a phone that fits your ear and won't drop any calls at all.

Oddly, you still can. Don't have a cellphone, ergo you won't have a cell-number (or have one, but don't give it out) for people to reach you at.

No need to thank me, it's what I'm here for.

I gotta have QWERTY. Once you go QWERTY, you never go back.

What is an "assload" to you?
I have a Blackberry 2 and I love it. I spent $105.00 on it.

This is a good post.

1. Having to sync and being limited to the computers you can sync to.
2. Not being able to "mess" with the OS code and being completely locked out of all OS level code (unless you Jail Break it, which can be a bad idea.)
3. Not being able to use the large storage space available on the phone for storage space.
4. Limitations on third party applications (it is a fascist system, I tell you).
5. No direct flash support.
6. (not until the latest relase of the iPhone OS) No ability to customize your text message notification tones to specific people.
7. Still no Bluetooth 3.0+HS
8. No direct multi-tasking (AKA, having several apps open at once and being able to "see" which ones are multitasked.)
9. No "task manager", meaning, you cannot kill applications running in the background.
10. Technically, it cannot work as an "aircard" for your computer (tethering.) This is probably the single biggest problem, IMO, and it has more to do with cell carriers being stingy bastards.
11. Lacking HSPA+ (An upgrade to the current HSPA standard. Basically, it lacks the transceiver hardware to communicate on the HSPA+ standard.)
12. No ability to directly control your ringtones without third party apps or jail breaking.
13. No microSD ports.
14. Still uses a proprietary "connection" for charging, data transfers, etc. Why not go to microUSB or the new microUSB 3.0 standard? To me, that's a "duh".
15. Customizable screen layout. You can't customize it or select a different "layout." You're stuck with the "default" scheme (not the wallpaper, but the basic GUI type of things.)
16. Customizing when and where vibration or rings/sound alerts should occur. This is amateur stuff that Apple left out. People have been able to customize that shit since the 90s.
17. Built in file browser.
18. First party support for more audio video codecs. Not the third party shit that ALMOST gets the job done. The phone should come with support, straight away, like other smartphones. If not, there should be a very high quality 3rd party app that was developed under the supervision of Apple. Seems like I'm being picky because there are "multi-codec" players out there, but they are buggy and lack real "phone changing" ability, especially without file type stuff support.




Keep in mind, this is off the top of my head and I am definitely missing tons and tons and tons of stuff that people dislike about the iPhone. But, as you can see, that list is quite long and to make it worse, that was "right off the top of my head."
