I'd rather have a Blackberry Storm imo.

Don't know if I mentioned it a while ago, but I got my 3g at launch. Even sat in line with two friends that night, just so I could say I've sat in line for something (though the Matrix would've been better).

BLECH. Have you played with an actual model? The clicky screen is soooo bad. I heard the OS is a clunky piece of shit as well.

iPhone is definitely pretty sweet. I've got the G1 with Android and I like it - we really need the new update however.

so far my fav free apps i've downloaded are Pandora Internet Radio (freaking luving it) and Shazam.

Yeah, I watched a video review of it on Youtube, and it was laggy as hell.

I don't know anyone (besides Fox) who has the android. Trying one in person would be cool. Checking out videos of it soon.

It doesn't have the multi-touch capability (though the Android software can support it, but it was apparently "commented out." Some people think it was to play it safe with Apple in case of trademarks...), but other than that it's a very good user experience. The G1 is underpowered and clunky hardware, but the OS still manages to be fun to use and really useful despite the hardware handicaps. There's a few things that are being fixed in the new update that should come soon like software keyboard, stability and speed fixes, etc. The app store needs some work to be more useful and to filter out the noise, but that's the beauty of open source apps - everyone can make something and put it out there.

Speaking more to the Google integration of the phone, I LOVE it. I've got push notifications for my main Gmail account, Google Talk running in the background to send and receive messages, my Google calendar, easy access to Google search from the home screen widget, Google maps with GPS and street view, my phone contacts sync with Google Contacts which is super useful. The Google account integration gives me the hugest tech-nerd boner. I just need better phone hardware and multi-touch and I'd be 100% happy.

So you like Google?

[FoXDie]

Yuuup, I like 'em.

[Smith_the_Gunslinger]

You Google whore. I bet you switched to Chrome when it came out too.

[FoXDie]

Nah, it doesn't support all the extensions that I need. The technology behind Chrome is fucking awesome though and I hope Mozilla puts it into Firefox eventually, since it's open source.

Behold the greatest iPhone App ever!

Woooo hooo! I know that it's not an iPhone, but I just got myself a new iPod Touch 3G. I've been hacking it to hell for the past week now, there are just so many god damn apps, I love it.

This is officially my first post with this lovely new device :-D Oh, and if you're jailbreaking, don't upgrade to 3.1.3.



d3.

I was down at the mall yesterday, and noticed a huge line of people with fold out chairs, and food and all that, and I wondered what the fuck was up.

It was the line for the Apple store.

[neomaul]

A co-worker got one on day 1 & it's sooo freaking sweet!

[FoXDie]

My friend James got one, and I'm underwhelmed. It's another iPhone. Neat. Except this one loses signal all the fucking time. Great job Jobs!

[Tesseract]

Epic Fail.
