[Captivate General] uberamd:
No, they aren't using the iPhone because of being locked in. Many people jumped their carrier and canceled their existing contracts on Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon to use the iPhone. They were locked into a contract there but paid the ETF to switch because THEY LIKE THE PHONE.

And there is no, NO way you can say "most" because that is a statistic you just pulled out of your butt.

My Captivate has more bugs than my iPhone ever did. GPS not getting a lock, aGPS not showing my position in maps, Foursquare unable to ever get a location unless I am outside in the middle of a parking lot, Facebook not syncing, battery indicator showing 50%+ when I am at 20% according to every battery widget, wifi and 3G displaying at the same time, wifi not working until I refresh a page 3-5 times, the market saying I'm not connected to a network when I really am, etc. It has its issues. The iPhone 4 has an absolutely gorgeous screen and a great camera to boot. I had one for a week, and I can't get around the fact that the hardware is elegantly designed (antenna issue aside). You trying to pass off Android as the phone everyone wishes they could have is a joke. It isn't without its issues.

Every single Mac or Android forum is full of rabid fanboys, this is no exception. I use both platforms so I am not full of bias like you appear to be.

I had a WinMo phone before my iPhone and I never once used copy and paste on it. And guess what, copy and paste on the Captivate is a total joke, it shouldn't even be called copy/paste. Its more like "select a gigantic block of text or nothing at all" and paste.

Maybe they didn't see a need for it? I admit I was upset that my iPhone didn't have MMS, but at the same time I get like 3 MMS messages per year. Each person has different needs.

Maybe they didn't see a need for it on the phone? I can ask my sister who is not tech savvy at all how much multitasking means to her on her phone, I bet I get a blank stare from her.

And you haven't heard Android users say anything similar about their device shortcomings? Seriously?

You are no better, you are in total elitism mode and think that your needs are the needs of other people. You are being INCREDIBLY condescending right now.

How many Android phones have copy and paste implemented as good as Apple does? HTC Sense devices maybe, but who else? Apple doesn't come up with new ideas very often, but they sure do come up with elegant and user friendly ways of implementing things and THAT is what people like about them.

FM Tuner? Really? Thats a pointless feature (and I think one of my Android phones supports it). And the screen? Are you kidding me? You sound EXACTLY like the people you were tearing down above. When Android devices come out that have a retina-type display all of the naysayers will be drooling all over it saying it is the greatest thing Android phones have ever had. The Retina display is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. It looks amazing. It is way sharper than my Captivate screen and my Nexus One screen. I don't care what you say, it is. I owned one, I used one for a week, and it was hands down better than any other screen out there.

I'm a college student. Find me a $1900 laptop with a 17" 1920x1200 led display, webcam, 4GB RAM, Core i5, backlit keyboard, 500GB hard drive, and is under 1" thick so it fits in my backpack with my books. Please, go find me that computer. I'll be waiting.

Show me cited statistics to support that claim. Show me cited statistics to support that most people are in 2 and 3. I want CITED STATISTICS. Otherwise you are just making crap up... again. You are an Android fanboy and its obvious. I use both platforms, I think both platforms have benefits over the other, and you are just another typical fanboy who thinks his needs and wants out of technology and functionality are the same as what everyone else wants. Not everyone is a cookie-cutter clone of you.
