On thing though, I wanted to use Google+ but I got tired of the bashing on Apple that always show up on "what's hot" so stopped using it. Photography its a hobby not a business so I dont care to share my photos on G+. Facebook although not perfect its ok for me. I can discover other artists on places like Flickr, 500px, here, all kelby's websites and more.

screw Apple AND android...wheres the Linux phone? they could call it the LPhone.
i swear this is the song that never ends.
here you go, in case 11 pages wasn't enough.

nikon is better than canon, which is better than pentax, which is better than sony.
Digital has no soul, film is better. always better.
ford is better than chevy.
blue is better than green
asus is better than acer
HP is better than Dell.
primes are better than zooms.
external pacing @ 70 joules is better than a 2-10mcg/kg/min dopamine drip.

hope I didn't miss anything. :mrgreen:

Hey! This debate is different. We're getting into some deeper s*** like "what is the definition of better." lol

Also a Linux phone would kind of suck because then you'd have to manually install all of your apps.

You are aware that the Android OS is a derivative of Linux right?

So is iOS.

Actually thats incorrect... iOS is a modification of OS X which was based on Darwin and was developed around a UNIX kernel. Darwin's DNA comes from NeXTSTEP and BSD not Linux and yes its nitpicking of sorts since Linux is a UNIX derivative but there are still differences... as Darwin is more of a true UNIX than Linux is. Apple had very valid reasons for not choosing a version of Linux.

But the iPhone 5 IS the current iPhone.

But the iPhone 5 IS the current iPhone.

Technically it's the past iPhone since I'm sure Apple Has already developed the 5S and will release it next month

So....

Uhhh...

Ermmm......

yeah....


Despite my pessimism, I bought the iPhone 5 today. I'm pretty excited about it actually . I say good riddance to the technically flawed Evo 4G and on to better things!

I've had it for a while. I have been an iphone guy since the first one came out. I am not at all impressed with this phone. Ring tones that were on my 4 for some reason won't go onto my 5. This is the first one that I have not been impressed with.

If this is your first one then I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Have fun!

I bought myself and my wife an S3, and still paid $100 less for both than if I would have bought 1 iphone. The S3 is a great phone. It replaced my Evo 4G. Even if the phone isn't as good as the iphone, I still only paid a quarter of the iphone's price for it. The only clear thing that makes the iphone better, is Siri. The S-Voice can't hold a candle to it. The S-Voice is convenient, and easy to use and really useful, but Siri is lightyears ahead of it. When the phones were both @ $200, I looked into both phones and considered both. The second it dropped to $50, there wasn't anything to prevent me from buying the S3.

Nokia Lumia 920 for $99 is the best deal out there, its a fantastic phone. The other day a guy with an S3 saw my 920 and asked for a quick demo. He kept saying "wow", was impressed at how much faster the 920 is than his S3, and after 5 minutes was saying he wanted to upgrade his S3 to a 920.
