Samsung Captivate or Iphone 4g

Another downside with the Droid phones is battery life. I have heard 3-6 hours charge time. I can usually go a day and a half using my iphone full use...

Stop listening (and being) such an iCommie loyalist.




Also, when i'm browsing the web, or using it to remote to my home computer from anywhere i have a 3g/4g/wifi signal, i'd much rather use a 4.3 (or 4 in the case of the galaxy) inch screen instead of a small (but pretty) 3.5 screen.

Samsung is ok but it reboots itself a lot. They also need plutonium power generators if you use them much.

Does not look near as big with a comparison as it did online, no bigger then my iP4 with an Otterbox....


How can you even compare Android and iPhone sales? That is like saying Ford sold more vehicles then the Camaro.

Loyalty is also higher in iPhone owners, 89% compared to Droids 71%

I think it's typically the HTC's that have a battery life problem. I know I had one for a few months and it would not go a full day on one charge no matter how little I used it.

Captivate or anything with Android on it. The iPhone will someday go the way of the Mac computer. There will still be a niche market for it but Android will eventually become the "Microsoft" of mobile phone software.

I'd say that Android will eventually become the "Google" of mobile phone software. Microsoft still makes some awesome products but they don't really have the same cutting-edge, innovative image that Google does. Yes, I know that Android is a Google project/product.

I think eventually Apple will have to open up iOS development beyond just Macintosh machines. As Android grows its base, with support across all computer platforms, iOS develoers are going to (continue to) jump away from OS X and those turds XCode and Objective-C

I don't see that happening. Not enough people, myself included, to give a shit enough to even pick up an Android phone. There is a reason release after release since the inception, each iPhone model has had weeks of back orders. You can walk into any T-Mo and buy one get one free any of the Samsungs.....

Great marketing for a very good product. It's not junk, but it's no longer the undisputed greates evar.

While Android platform may have started to outsell the Iphone, it really is not a fair comparison. Android has more than one carrier and more than one phone. If/When the Iphone goes to Verizon, I think there is going to be a sharp increase in Iphone sales over the Android.

Fine. Phones with the Android operating system are outselling phones with the iPhone operating system. Fair enough?

I have played around with both and still prefer the Iphone. My cousin tried getting me to switch to the Evo like he had, and he ended up dumping the Evo for the Iphone.

Or did he dump Sprint for AT&T/T-Mobile?

My iPhone 3GS sucks the battery down in 8 hours if I leave it on 3G; it doesn't last more than 3 if I'm streaming Internet radio.

Funny that you bumped this, Tony. I just overclocked(and lowered voltages) my shitty android phone, and as of yesterday the battery lasted over 36 hours, lol. Switched it over to HSUPA, too.

No way. I have had a few HTC phones and they're one of the best. Beats the shit out of a LOT of the other manufacturers.

I'm going to start doing more Android development and need to pick up a "new" phone so I was looking at the Captivate.

They're alright. I've had hardware issues with both Samsung and HTC phones, though. Sim card stopped reading on my old tilt, wasn't even worth fixing. My gf had a Samsung phone, the cpu went bad in it, she got a replacement phone free and had another phone she used. I got the replacement phone when my tilt fucked up, the touch screen stopped working, but I remembered the other one's touch screen worked still. So, I did some frankensteining and got that shit working good, lol. Oh, and then my gf got water on it like a week later and ruined it. Awesome. Haven't had any issues with the captivate, though.

Sounds like the iPhone 4 is a winner

Really? How so?

At what? Being over-rated?

iPhone 4 is the best!

I am really happy with my Android phone and highly doubt I would ever own an iPhone.
