Registered 9 years agoi still don't know why you can't buy an 8Gb+ card for your Hero and use that as your MP3 Player/Phone.

Hahahaha Ed, you're hilarious, at least I've actually used the Android, you're just being pathetic and picking a fight even though you have no idea what you're talking about.gif)
Look, I'm not picking a fight. morriss could come back and pick the iPhone to fucking pieces, he could slag it off for the rest of eternity in excruciating detail, and I won't come back with an argument because I'm not remotely interested in slagging phones off.
I just wanted him to explain a bit more what he meant about how the 'phone' element works better on an HTC Hero. For all I know he could be absolutely right! And if he is, great! Good for him for picking the right phone. But all I cared about (don't any more) was the differences in phone implementation and what worked for him on the Hero.
blizeH, you literally invited a fight with your post, so don't you dare accuse me of trying to pick one. -
A thing to consider before buying an Android phone.
The HTC HD2 you linked to is HTC's flagship (much better specs than the Hero), deathgibbon, but comes with Windows Mobile. Which, er, isn't a recommendation.

Registered 9 years agoAnyway: I've used both, and Hero's just as good, imo. Nothing separates them at all. Like nothing. All the best iPhone Apps are on Android, it's a great MP3 player, loads of open source lovliness for those of you who are interested, Google Sky Maps, free Sat Nav via Google Maps etc etc etc
So why pay loads of money simply for a design? Not worth it, IMO.
There. That's my "real," "adult" answer. -

Eh?
Well done Ed, you just got owned by morriss, of all people. How embarrassing.
What?
How?
Being 'owned' would surely involve there having been a two-sided argument or something? I'm not arguing with him at all, although he's trying so hard to force one. -

But some people are happy to pay a premium for an extremely well-designed UI. My 'phone is something that's used and operated dozens of times a day; the frustration of a less-well implemented UI (or slower, or less responsive) might be small, but it's magnified each time you have to use it.

It's why it's worth paying more for a keyboard, or a lighter (for smokers) or anything else that you use time and time again. IMO. Etc. -

I was asking about what you said about the phone element, though. That's just a list of reasons why they're both equally good smartphones.

Registered 7 years agoWatching Morris, Owen and Blize argue is like watching a Mexican stand-off between Idi Amin, Pol Pot and Margaret Thatcher: you know you have to root for one of them, but by Christ, it's a tough choice. -

In many cases, it has, well, similar apps with the same basic functions, to put it politely. But it's obvious that the pickings are far slimmer in a store that hasn't even 1/10th of the number of apps the appstore has.

Bit like saying the Wii has basically the same games as the 360 because you can play Red Steel instead of Halo. -

Isn't the problem with the current Android 'phones that the tech used today lacks the grunt to really show it off to its best advantage?
Caveat: this is only from reading the usual hideous EnTechModo gadget blogs. -

And even if most of the popular iPhone apps are on Android (however you've arrived at this conclusion), it doesn't change the fact that there are obviously a considerable number of useful - if not widely popular - apps that can only be found on iPhone, which is a significant advantage for the platform imo. -

You of course know that the phone element doesn't differ on any phone - phones make calls in basic phone functionality shocker. The cheapest phone on the market will make as good a call as any on the market. You're getting worked up (yeah yeah, you don't care) and its your own fault.blizeH wrote:
