I am not trolling (why on earth would I waste my time like that?). I was blown away to see the messaging app crash like that, but it happened, and my wife had no patience for it. To reiterate, I think it is a really nice phone, but for whatever reason, the SMS app kept crashing (seemingly at...

It's a cell phone. She used it for the things she uses her phone for (calling, texting, FB, words with friends) and it was going fine with my tweaks, then she had the messenger crash 3 times in a row and lost all her texts. Neither of us ever had anything like that happen with our iPhones, and...

I really appreciate this response, but unfortunately her mind is made up. Last night I made a lot of tweaks to the phone (deleted all but two home screens and populated them with the clock and apps she likes, added a mute widget, added executive assistant for lock screen notifications) and she...

My intention here is certainly not to argue the relative merits of the phones (in fact, I would have bought an SIII for myself if it was supported by my firm) but I really do think the phone is pretty complicated. For example, my wife wanted to set the notification sounds, so she went into...

It is exactly right that she wanted it for screen size. She has no interest in android otherwise. Like I said, I want to see if it can work in a way she is just as happy with, and if it can't, then its iphone time.

My wife was the one who wanted the phone. I will gladly get her an iphone 5 instead. I just want her to have a chance to try using this first (which means making it work how she wants it to), because she was really drawn to the screen size.

Seriously? You're insulting my wife on a forum about cell phones? Not liking a cell phone that is undoubtedly more complicated than others means you are closed minded? Stop taking this so seriously. It's a cell phone. . . I am a tech guy (big into gadgets, programming background, even had...

She just isn't a techie at all. She has had smart phones for a while (palm centro, then blackberry bold, then iphone 4) and said she wanted to feel like her new phone was something different again. She also loved the size of the screen. But I guess that Android hasn't reached iOS levels of...

I think executive assistant looks like a good option for the lock screen notifications. Anyone have experience with it? http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/31622-getting-started-android-tips-tricks-10.html#post1347208

The only devices that are authorized to work with our exchange server are iOS devices and old windows mobile 5/6 devices. We have a blackberry server too. They've considered allowing Android access a few times, but each time they determine that it isn't secure enough.

When she bought the SIII, what I said to her was "you will definitely be happy with the iphone 5, but you might be even happier with the SIII" If she returns it, that's fine (hell, I just got the iphone 5 yesterday, but i can't get android phones because they don't work with my work email) but...

Thanks for the responses. It isn't that she won't install apps. Its more that she won't want to change base parts of the phone, like replacing the messaging app with another one. She just isn't into customizing the phone. She wants it to be simple and work, and doesn't want to have basic...

Yesterday my wife picked up the SIII after being an iPhone user for the last 2 years (iPhone 4). She loved her iPhone but liked the bigger screen, so she decided to try out the SIII and she absolutely hates it so far. I convinced her to give it a few days before returning it, and I'm hoping...

I am a bigtime mobile gamer, who is considering making the jump from my pre, ipod touch, and blackberry to an android phone (right now, that is a LOT to keep in my pockets). I am interested in the Xperia Play, but am wondering how android gaming in general compares to iOS gaming. I almost...

I am a former windows mobile user (Sprint Mogul and HTC Touch diamond), who currently has a blackberry and a palm pre. I am looking to make a change soon, to try and go from 3 devices in my pocket (blackberry for work, pre as phone, ipod touch for games and musc) to one, or maybe two. My...
