1) compared to blackberry tour. this phone is sooo noisy. and the gray bars at the bottom from picasa, WTF?
2) Okay?
3) I can't seem to find any good music management apps, doubletwist seems okay but still not up to snuff.
4) Okay?
5) I totally agree, size is nice for lots of reasons but it's turned into a pain when I put this phone in my pocket
6) Who uses a phone on a table? Is that a joke? Also, when i'm in my car I have it sitting in a mount...should I not be able to use it while it's on the mount? You are starting to sound like a fanboy at this point.
8) Good for you...I don't and most people dont
9) I don't understand what you're saying here. Are you saying I can use the power button to turn the screen off and have a timeout for the password? Pleaseee tell me how to do this!!!
10) BB and iphone encypt data (on BB you just have to turn it on, iphone is automatic). Android is a big NO on that front.
11) Trust me when i'm browsing the internet and i have 40 mb free vs browsing the internet with 200 mb free it's a big difference.
12) I have everything backed up with google that you list except text messages, but that's not everything. App data, custom settings, etc. I need a rooted phone to do all that and it's still far from seamless.
13) COPY AND PASTE DOES NOT WORK IN GMAIL. TRY IT! Try it on an email someone sent you. COPY AND PASTE DOES NOT WORK IN SMS, TRY IT ON A TEXT SOMEONE SENT YOU.
At this point...I've lost all respect for you.
14) I hear the iphone keyboard is the best but you make a good point.
P.S. You should see 15-17
6) i use my evo in the dock all the time im not sure i have experienced this ill have to check it out. Also, yes i am serious i always pick my phone up to use it.
8) turn off all syncing (why do people need updated information when they arent using their phone, you want updated news wait the 2 secs for it to update when you do it manually) manually adjust screen brightness to a tiny sliver, and when you charge it once its fully green turn the phone off and let it completely charge to green that way (its a bug but adds about 4 hours).
9) Settings > sound & display > screen time > 2 minutes
Then the password wont come on until the screen times out after 2 mins. if you are done using your phone before 2 mins just hit the power button and it will go to sleep as to not waste the 2 mins.
10) what do you mean encrypt data? encrypt it how? if you dont have a screen lock all your information is available? still not sure what you mean can you explain it?
11) ummm, once the browser is loaded any slowness is network related which has NOTHING to do with the phone, but the wifi/network.
12) you dont have to root for custom settings (apps on the market) and the iphone doesnt back settings up, apps thats a different story, apple is great with that.
13) ahhh young grasshopper. I use handcent sms and you can copy and paste (looks just like the iphone which is great loved the look.) if you use HTC email (with your gmail account) it does copy paste and it looks a little nicer if you ask me, so there are ways around it.
14)its really small, it lags as well though sometimes. i hate iphone text app for a couple of reasons. No bulk erase, you have to delete texts 1 by 1 (HORRIBLE). no custom text apps apple doesnt allow it unless jailbroken. no timestamps on texts only if you havent recieved one within the hour (com'on seriously). i recieve about 300 texts a day from my servers and i have to delete them 1 by 1, f'that.
15) i only turn on shoot me for screen shots then turn it off. All you have to do is shake it a bit you never have to make it go landscape. i havent had that issue yet so i cant say, but from what you have mentioned that could be annoying.
17) gallery is A LOT better then what the iphone has. Plus my iphone gallary lagged like hell because i had 1500 pics in it.
ALL in all, i am not an android fanboy. I LOVE the IPHONE, the only problem is i hate that Apple has so many restrictions on it, its my phone let me do what i want. they are getting a bit better and I would recommend the iphone to anyone that knows nothing about phones and all they do is text/call/browse here or there but someone that wants all the goodies and wants to have freedom to do what they want with their phone, thats what the evo/android is for.
I was with apple/att during the whole no copy/paste PERIOD, no MMS, and no tethering, no backgrounding, or backgrounds (hahaha seriously no custom backgrounds) periods. to me that just pisses me off. 10 year old technology because your network or phone cant handle it with battery or you want to tell me what i can and cant do?!?! plus AT&T is the absolute WORST network every. Dropped calls daily if not every other day, and texts hours/days late all the time.
