What Phone Do You Have?

[shmogt]

I have a Samsung E900 that I've had for the past 7 or so years because I've stubbornly refused to upgrade to a touch screen or a smartphone.

Trust me man your missing out. You can get a Sony xperia U for $0-$30 depending on plan and get it for only talk and text plan. You don't even get screwed into having to get data like most smart phones. It's an entry level smart phone so don't expect huge change or insane features but it's still android so you can get neat apps here and there plus it's a good quality screen with 5mp camera. Best of all it will have wifi so when you're at your house or whatever you can still watch YouTube or Google something you quick. Can't beat it for the price. Canada is $30 on a 2yr talk and text plan at fido. I been telling my mom to switch since she refuses and has a old flip phone and doesn't wanna pay data.

So, since my Desire S has been Kaput for so long I've 'borrowed' a spare iPhone 3GS from work, and may I say.. what a complete piece of dog faeces it is!

Seriously, I'll keep this brief by listing the things I like about it:

Nothing.

I've always disliked apple for a number of reasons, but I've never actually owned a piece of their equipment... now I have, my dislike for Apple has increased 10 fold.

I have Nokia 2690.
It cost 30€ over a year ago and it was simple to use.
I haven´t got use to these new "smartphones",but I guess I have to when this one stops working..

You're basing your opinion after briefly using a 3 year old iPhone?

Lol ya wad thinking same thing. I have the 3gs and it's pretty good but it's like 3-4yrs old now. Doesn't seem like much but in the phone game when new ones come out each month its an eternity. You gotta go try the 5 to get a real compare.

My iPhone 5 arrived today!

Awesome!

 

[JAHHAJ]

Awesome!

I know right 👍

The 3GS is the longest lived iPhone so far. It's over 3 years old and is still supported to the latest version of iOS.

I didn't say it wasn't usable, it is probably the best value phone out there since it has worked with the newest stuff for so long but it's screen isn't retina, no front cam, no flash, no sir, etc. Just a lot of physical things its missing that make a big difference in comparisons plus it's slow compared to today's phones. If you want someone to like the iphone showing them a 3gs won't do it anymore.

I wasn't trying to correct you, I was just trying to say that it's pretty impressive that the 3GS is still usable 3 years after release.

I could have worded my previous post better.

Oh lol. In that case I agree with you

 

[Celicaas]

Just like this but it's upgraded with cyanogen Mod

 

[Doog]

Got one of these last night. All I can say is, it's huge, and it attracts lots of attention.

 

[motortrend]

I still have my trusty iPhone 4S and have no intentions of switching to the 5 nor iOS6 for now. After owning a 3g, a 4 and a 4S, and the 5 not being impressive at all, I am seriously considering other phones out there, just that right now there's nothing that I like enough, plus I'd have to sacrifice some of the things I'm used to. For now I'm definitely keeping my 4S and I'll se what comes out in the future

Any good new phones coming out soon? I read that the Galaxy 4 will be good

iphone 5S is coming pretty soon
i own an iphone 4s and no further purchase for iphone 5
basically its same stuff as previous model, just bigger screen and little bit powerful
that s not enough
however i heard about newer iphone 5 model with ability of wireless recharge battery

 

[Dean]

Well, I changed two days ago... to a SONY Xperia J.

 

[RTSolvalou]

My S2 and LG Renoir, the second of which seemed to have less trouble managing the light while taking shots, although I had to turn the S2's screen brightness down all the way:

I'm currently restoring a LG u890 and the Galaxy S4 will likely join the team next July or so.

I'll see how iOS evolves over time, I guess I can live with the lightning connector thing

 

[ultimate]

most important thing to me, 4S can be jailbroken untethered through absynthe or redsnow either
ll expect whether a bunch of great hackers manage to break newest ios protection lol

Finally replacing my ageing HTC wildfire.

Ordered a htc one x, however they supplied me with the 16gb not the 32gb that they had advertised and to cut a long story short they couldn't give me the 32gb one so they upgraded it for free to the HTC ONE X+ . I'm currently in the process of sending the x back and then they will send me the x+, hoping for it too arrive before christmas.

 

[E28]

Pretty jealous of you, that's definitely the phone I'd be after if I was upgrading round about now. 👍

I've had my Sensation for about a year now, and I'm still very happy with it, even if it's 1.2GHz Dual-Core processor has been shown up by the new Quad-Core phones.

 

[Solo]

I am also now using the One X+ and I must say the performance figures are startlingly good, having run a few benchmarks through both quadrant (7386 overall score) and AnTuTu (16xxx current best) it is coming out as one of the top one or two handsets when stock on their results 👍 You wont be dissapointed lbsf1 👍

 

[RTSolvalou]

Congratulations on your One X+s, remembering that the normal one was out way back in April, it's great to have as fresh a phone as possible when you upgrade.

 

[shmogt]

Oh nice free upgrade is awesome.

It took alot of arguing to get there and strangely we got the upgrade from the customer service team on the forum, whereas their "high level customer service team" were being of very little help to solve the problem and were more interested in telling us what the problem was (which we already knew).

We had asked them before this is they were prepared to swap it for the Galaxy S3, however they said no because it costed more, but then upgraded to the more expensive X+????

If anyone does order from phones 4 u beware because when looking into this they do seem to advertise the better model and then give you the worse one quite often. For example this x+ might not be the 64gb model it may be the 32gb one even though their website says 64gb.

Really looking forward to recieving it, even more so now that my 3 year old ipod touch is refusing to run apps (facebook, youtube, ect) but will run safari so I can atleast use that for browsing.

And tron do you carry those 3 phones with you???, what size pockets do you have

 

[shmogt]

That is called bait and switch and it is illegal. If any company advertises a product than tells you it's not there and tries to sell you a worse product just say those words and watch them give you whatever you want. I don't know how much they are charging but the S3 here is about $600-650 making it pretty expensive considering the most expensive phone iphone 5 is $700-1000. So maybe the one X+ is cheaper than that or they have to pay more for it etc. Who knows now just be excited lol

Cheers for giving the actual term for what they are doing, I was planning on posting on their forum tommorow telling them that although they solved the issue with me they have been aware of the wrong info on their website for 2 weeks now (or 3 months if you include what someone else posted on another website about the same issue when he bought the phone from them) and you have still not changed your specification. It still says 32gb on the website even though they are full aware that they don't actually have that phone in stock.

You can also buy this phone on its own and it says 32gb but they confirmed that a person ordering that would also get the 16gb version. Very underhand from them.
