I'm not sure...I may switch but probably not

The fanboy sh*t is lame. I have no respect for anyone that calls themselves that. Basically you're saying "I like this and you suck because you don't". That's not rational and not at all respectable. But coming from a culture of "teams" that people support for no good reason (Coke vs. Pepsi, Apple vs. PC, Chevy vs. Ford, Colts vs Patriots etc), I'm not surprised.

What I love about Android/my incredible Incredible:

I love flashing ROMs (flashing cm7 #45 atm) and the ability to change just about anything about the phone I want.

I love the Google integration, Gvoice especially. Balancing 4 gmail accounts is easy as pie on an android device. I use Google products a lot (especially Google Translate at work and Gvoice) and the iPhone webapp versions just plain suck in comparison.

Swype, voice to text (THAT ACTUALLY WORKS), and an amazing Nav/Maps program.

My contract is up at the end of this month and I like being without one (essentially paying month to month). If I get a CDMA iPhone 4, I will pay cash for it. I may just buy one and give the one I like best to my son. :p That being said, I do have reasons to look towards Apple:

Gaming: It's not even close. We're just now getting NFS and Angry Birds. The game developers are still mostly on the iOS platform. And game play on the DI is horrible in terms of battery life and unit temperature.

Camera/Video Camera: iPhone has a better screen to display images and the default camera app is pretty fantastic. More intuitive, better pictures, etc. Yes I know that the DI has more megapixels, but the stock camera app on the DI is horrid. Using something like Camera360 is definitely an upgrade. Even still, I think hands on the iPhone does a better job as a point and shoot camera.

Apps store: While the Market is gaining ground quickly, the apps store is just down right sick. For instance, fitness apps. There are a TON of them that are feature rich. I've not found one app in the market that I can easily track my cardio-running-walking-weights in one app.

Why I probably will stay put for now:

I'm not jumping on the Bionic or the Thunderbolt. The Bionic has the same amount of RAM as my DI and it's Motorola (I've got the lockdown efuse fiasco still on the brain).

I want a phone with the following specs before I break up with my DI:

I want a DI type of form factor with a front facing camera, at least 1GB of RAM, and it must be an HTC phone (or at the very least one that doesn't try and lock down the phone) that is LTE. So far this phone doesn't exist. Until it does I'll probably hang with my DI.

The biggest thing that'll keep me in the Android camp is flash. I like that I can sit in bed and watch episodes of The Daily Show, Southpark, etc. You can browse the web on an android phone much like you can on a PC. Lack of flash makes iOS feel crippled.

Pot, kettle is on line one!

Calling other people a moron while using run-on sentences and thinking "HAhaha haha" is a witty retort is priceless!
[Droid Incredible General] bomber889:
Don't pay attention to BaLLZaCH. He's just bitter he's too stupid to know how to use his phone.. :(
[Droid Incredible General] techobsessive:
See those are some good reasons :-P
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
Somebody asks a forum of Android users if they're going to switch to the iPhone and there's a backlash - truly shocking!
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
It was a question and no one had to add their opinions. He simply asked who wanted to make the move.

You people are more biased than most apple fanboys, the largest problem being you are all fanboys. I have loved my DINC since I got it but I hated AT&T and 3g on it was non-existent here at school until last year, so I made the switch to VZW. The day I heard rumors that the iPhone would be on verizon and I saw how sexy the iPhone 4 was, I told myself if it actually came to VZW, I'd buy it.

Well, here we are.

Can everyone just let other people want what they want without bashing each other. We're all here for a common reason, our love of tech. Can we not make this a childish rivalry.
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
No!

LOL
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
Check this out, it looks like Apple will be using a Qualcomm processor in the Verizon iPhone. And it may not be too much of a wait for a dual core iPhone 5. To each their own, I'm staying with Android. I'm waiting for an HTC phone with the dual core Snapdragon.

[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
Can we let people want what they want while explaining why we want what we want?

That is what I want to do. :)
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
There's nothing wrong with that either, but bashing the iPhone/iOS/DINC/Android makes you sound like a massive douche.

It's ok to want to support your phone, but don't bring others down while doing so, cyber bullying is illegal you know?
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
This is the way anonymous internet forums have been since the days of AOL. It's not going to change.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
So you are implying that because it's the way it happened in the past, it should continue today? That's like saying Hitler killed Jews once, let's rev that engine back up...

you're ridiculous kind sir.
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
i don't think there is anything wrong with saying "i think the iphone sucks because ...". it is just an opinion like any other. you have every right not to agree. and the poster has every right to say it sucks for him because ....

i also don't think its cyber bullying. because then anyone expressing a negative opinion would be cyber-bullying. and that just sounds like bull.

comparing internet trolling to the holocaust is redefining exaggeration.
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
Indeed. I'm not going to bother with that one.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
thanks for completely missing my points. At least you guys aren't calling anyone stupid for liking the iPhone anymore.

And there have been aspects of cyberbullying on here, trust me, I had to take a class on it so I could work at our computer lab on campus.

in conclusion, only 25 more days till iPhone release day and 18 till I can pre-order!
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
Nothing I've seen on here is even close to being bulling. If you think this is bad then stay away from the anonymous /b/rothers at all costs.
[Droid Incredible General] bomber889:
The iphone sucks!!!
[Droid Incredible General] BaLLZaCH:
AMEN BROTHER !!!

I do agree with that 100% !!! ...

Well techobsessive, I did some more phone shopping and, well, I came to a conclusion. My DINC kicks ass :cool: ...

Everything else aside, friggin' WALMART sells the iphone4 (AND) the Otterbox for it. Thats not really 'personal' anymore is it ?... :eek: I mean really ? Walmart sells the Otterbox now too ? Damn, so what if I liked it, it's all over now ! Haha

People, please, Im just here tinkering like everyone else, and if I offended anyone I am sorry - I think it is funny when y'all rag on me because half the time I know it's true ! "Cant we all just get along?" :p

(Yup, here come the replys saying simply "Nope" ... I can see it already...)
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
What ever happened to sticks and stones? People these days are so sensitive to ridiculous crap. My dad would've beat my ass for whining about someone calling me a name. "There! Now you have a reason to cry!!" Dad quote. Ha ha.
[Droid Incredible General] Andassaran:
I know I'm not going to jump ship if VZW announces the iPhone. Sure, the DInc could have a slightly better GPU or a higher resolution screen (800x480? c'mon now... let's get 1024x600 :P) but in all seriousness, I like the customizability and sense of control that android gives me. Sure, you can jailbreak an iPhone, but there isn't nearly as much you can do with it.

That being said, iOS is a decent piece of software in its own right. The interface is fluid and smooth, and the iPhone 4 has terrific battery life. It does have its upsides (retina display, their app store) and downsides (no removable memory, no removable battery to name a couple), just like any other piece of hardware/software. The reason a carrier carries so many different devices is because they know one size doesn't fit all, except Verizon, assuming they should make all devices act identical. That, and Bing-ing up two of their best smartphones and locking FroYo out of them just so they can sell new handsets (Fascinate and Continuum, I'm looking at you here...)

At the end of the day though, I'm going to stick with my Incredible, at least until the dual core Tegra-based handsets come out (Motorola Droid Bionic and LG's dual-core offering, just to name a couple). Cyanogen makes one of the best ROMs for this device, and it would be a waste to just throw all that work away because I seen the shiny...

Device: HTC Incredible (SLCD)

UnrEVOked Forever (S-OFF)

Radio: 2.15.00.07.28

HBOOT: 0.92

Recovery: ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2

ROM: CyanogenMod 6.1.0-stable
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
There you are, now don't you feel silly? I already said I am buying the iPhone but keeping my DINC... Did you miss that too?

I hope you post again... really, I like doing this and I think people like reading it.
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
I change my battery every day at about the same time. They last me about 24 hours of steady use. I really like not having to plug the phone in and wait for it to charge. I do it on my time.

I have dropped my phone several times and no issues. Can't complain.

I use Poweramp for my music player and it is absolutely fantastic. I was fine with Android though. I use a set of JH Audio PRO 13 headphones with my Dinc daily and it has a great sound to it. LOVE the removable micro SD card!!

For taking pictures it works just fine in my opinion. If I want to take a really good picture, Then I'll bust out my DSLR Canon.

Everything that I have ever wanted or needed has been in the APP store and it's either been free or extremely cheap. I think I have a total of $10 into the APP store.

The AMOLED is just simply awesome. Makes my buddy with his iPhone 4 jealous. Seriously.

The developers here are awesome and very helpful.

This is the only great thing about the iPhone that I can think of. If you are a person that has never used a phone in your whole life, you could probably pick up an iPhone and easily figure out how to make a call. Extremely easy to work OS.

Like I have posted many times before in different places, my best friend has an iPhone 4 so I get to screw with his phone all I want and he gets to screw with my phone all he wants. His next phone is an Android, guaranteed and my next device is an Android, guaranteed.

I have never had a performance issue with my Dinc. This works great for everything I can throw at it with no problems whatsoever.

If the iPhone has everything that you need and you like the looks of it, then get it.

Some of these people on here bashing Apple (myself included) have their own reasons to hate Apple just like I do. But if you don't, then don't let the opinions of other people bother you. They are opinions even though some of them don't come across that way.

I really hope you enjoy your new iPhone. :)
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
i never called anyone stupid for liking the iphone. i just called the iphone stupid.

a - my battery lasts just fine. i dont know what people do to their battries. must be watching pr0n like all the time - something else u cant do with iphone. not that i care, but just pointing out.

b - my htc products have gone through a lot of abuse. my raphael has been thrown around the room, its keyboard almost ripped out of the device. my cousins ipod touch has been replaced 5 times in 3 months.

c - atleast i dont have to pay itunes retarded amounts of money for my music. just get a napster subscription and it works great on android.

d - oooh yay 2 cameras with no options at all. unless u pay for an app. its like buying a nice car, but if u want to drive it, u gotta pay more.

e - apps. just lol. every major app is available. let me know when the app store has a free nav app like gmaps, or easy tether. knowing apple, probly when sj dies.

f - experts have already debunked the retina crap. ive never seen anything on my phone that has made me want it to be clearer. also AMOLED >>>> IPS.

g - android homebrew >>>>> what homebrew, you cant install **** without bowing down to the mighty apple.
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
The question shouldnt be who is going to jump ship for the vzw cryphone but rather who is going back to android once they realize that it isnt all that and a box of candy. There will no doubt be some people that jump ship and like the simplicity of it, but whatever floats their boat. I think that there will be more coming back to android than staying with the cryphone. Then we can all say I told you so lol. I wont even touch anything crapple or let it in my house or car. If it wasnt so tied down I would probably have a different oppinion of crapple. Only I decide what is best for me and my smartphone, not some guy that i dont even know. But to each their own.
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
I did mean CHANGE. I have 2 extra batteries and a universal phone battery charger.

I have my phone overclocked and I use it quite a bit from about 8 in the morning till 10 or 11 at night so it gets a pretty good workout. Usually by 8am the next day it's pretty much dead. Maybe 5-15% left. I also always have my GPS and 3G on too. Use a lot of WIFI also.

I usually listen to a couple hours of music a day, send a crapload of texts, 4 or 5 medium length conversations (usually around 10 to 20 minutes) use the GPS to find an address or two, surf the net (YouPorn or xnxx.com :D) and check and send emails a lot and watch a bunch of youtube before bed or maybe part of a movie or listen to some more music. My phone does not just sit there most of the day.

That works out really well for me cause I always have a charged phone through the day when I need it. Plus all OS's seem to like a restart.. Just ask Windows. Ha ha

Now my buddy with the iPhone! That's a different story... If he barely uses his phone at all, he can get 3 days out of the battery but if he power uses it, he can get about a day, day and a half out of it. If I barely use my phone, I can get a couple days out of it but overall the iPhone battery is better.

I honestly do not have any issues with the AMOLED screen in sunlight or at angles. I don't know... Maybe I just got an exceptional one? :rolleyes:

This is pretty funny... My girlfriend got on my computer when I went to the bathroom and typed this in this box. Ha ha, she's pretty cool. Sometimes :rolleyes:

After you are done on the computer...maybe...we could clean out the garage, so you have someplace warmer to park. It is not going to be this nice out tomorrow...what do you think??? And there is NO app for that...you have to remove yourself from the techie world for it to happen.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
My gf still wants to know what XDA gives me that I can't get from her. I'll be buying her an iPhone too :)
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
I'm really glad that my girlfriend hasn't asked me that question! I would be single in a hurry. :D
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
I just said "Do you know ANYTHING about rooting?" she said (verbatim) "What about my roots, asshole? Can you see them?"

That's why she is getting an iPhone... lol. I won't reiterate why I want one.
[Droid Incredible General] khanam:
I have both a jailbroken and unlocked iphone 4 on at&t (because i travel to countries that don't use CDMA) and a rooted d-inc on Verizon.

IMHO iphone 4 >> d-inc in many aspects, e.g. elegance, sleekness, simplicity, battery life, display, etc etc. android has a mountain to climb before it looks as pretty. right now its a slightly overweight teenager while iOS is sleek model.

However, given that the base iphone rom is not changeable - just theme-able, tweakable, slightly moddable etc etc, its not as much fun. There are way too many things you can do with your rooted inc. Thats why I prefer the inc any day.

Stock comparison iphone beats the d-inc into pulp. Rooted its reversed...
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
You are a bit of a ROM whore, aren't you khanam. I won't be getting rid of my DINC anytime soon, too much fun. But I want the stability of the iPhone 4and interoperability of my apple products. I love this place too much to just leave. Also, It took nearly 2 years after Verizon launched 3G for it to get to my area. In some (not many, usually the cement prison I have one of my classes in) places, I still get 1x. I don't see us getting 4G in the immediate future, so getting a 4G phone wouldn't be viable for me. There isn't wimax in our area and people are paying for the EVO and Epic... I don't want to be one of those schmucks.
[Droid Incredible General] khanam:
Hahahaha! I am worse than a rom whore! I am a rom slut - the kind who pays people instead !!!! Yeah the Evo with the silly wimax charge even if you are nowhere within 70 miles of it was stupid bs. I am told verizon's 4g will be a lot better because LTE has wider range than Wimax - however I will believe it when I see it. I am a apple/mac guy too. If you are getting the iphone, make sure you truly enjoy it. Do not make the mistake of upgrading your firmware by mistake - always be patient and wait for jailbroken firmware before you upgrade your firmware. I have never not been jailbroken and unlocked since 2008 (2g/3g/3gs/i4). Its a great phone that is deliberately crippled by apple/carriers. You really need to jailbreak it. Since i travel out of the US frequently, its critical for me to be unlocked too. You might not care about that but the jailbreak tweaks and cydia apps/themes are well worth it.

One last point, I strongly believe (lets just say I have extreme confidence in what I say) that Verizon & AT&T will be getting the iphone5 simultaneously and rumors are - it will be dual core. This is not confirmed but seems to make sense. So.. you are better off waiting till July before you switch to the iphone. Something to noodle on....
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
Ha! I was close enough. Yes, I've had every iteration of the iPhone (except the 4) and I was on T-Mobile... so they were all jailbroken and unlocked. I too KNOW the iPhone 5 (4+, HD, whatever) is coming, but that is how it is with tech. As soon as you buy something, another piece of tech is released and it's going to be better. The OG Droid is still a top notch phone and it is nearly 2 years old. The iphone 4 isn't even 1 yet. I am officially upgrade eligible come Oct. and if the phone is enough of a leap then I will get it and sell the iPhone 4 on ebay.

Thanks for your concern though, I am not going into to this blindly. I have done a great deal of research to know that there can't possibly be that much more to add to the iPhone to make it substantially better. Anything that is added now will be superficial or minute (camera mp bump, new chassis, more ram, more storage), so I think this phone will be good enough to last until Oct. at the minimum.
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
Blame for the Fascinate and Continuum not getting Froyo lies squarely with Samsung. Unlike other OEMs, who classify it as a maintenance update, Samsung classifies it as a features update and wants a hefty fee from the carriers for what's otherwise a free OS. None of the US carriers are giving in to Samsung, so the Galaxy S line is staying at 2.1 (oficially) in the states for the time being.
[Droid Incredible General] khanam:
Wow! Very interesting to read this. Did I make a mistake by buying a galaxy tab? This might be the best reason to stick to HTC. Motorola locks down bootloaders and Samsung plays games with ROM updates.... Hmmm....
[Droid Incredible General] khanam:
You are right about the diminishing significant improvements in phone tech. Good to hear you are not a novice in the ios world either. typically, most iphone users are not sufficiently tech oriented to extract the best from the phone and thats why it gets a bad rep in the techie circles.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
Yeah, it's kinda sad really. The biggest reason I want an iPhone is I use mobile me, so it would help keep all my things together. Everyone just thinks it's a dumb-smartphone for old people... but I see it as a way to tie all the loose and fraying strings of my busy life together. Couple that and the fact I stopped using android for what it's worth (no widgets, no overclocking, no mulitple screens) I feel like I can make my transition without coming back and being sad. But, I won't be able to stop ROMming, so I will keep the DINC till people stop dev'ing for it.
[Droid Incredible General] JoeProcopio:
why would I want 6 month old technology, even if I did like Apple integration....

.me accounts still cost don't they? i'll take my nice free open Android/Google phone and continue to customize it to my liking....

BTW...when the iPhone 5 comes to Verizon, it will be 6 months old tech too....
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
Typical android fanboy hate speech. .Me do still cost money, but since I get it for free I will continue using it. It is also a bank breaking $100, I know...

How old is the Droid Incredible now? 5 months old? The iPhone is 7 months old... How is the technology outdated in either phone? In fact, the D1 is just over a year old and it is still a better phone than half the crap put out by android manufacturers.

A big thing everyone forgets about is the fragmentation of Android. There are phones still running 1.6 and phones that are newer than the iPhone running 2.1 with no hope of getting 2.2 (cough, cough fascinate)

BTW... How do you know the specs of the iPhone 5? Are you God? No? Shut up.

P.S. - If it wasn't for the original iPhone all the phone tech wouldn't be the way it is. The iPhone was the precursor to all modern phones, no wonder they all have touchscreens and as few physical hardware buttons as possible.
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
All of you just need to quit your *****ing and shut the **** up.

This is the *most embarrassing* thing I've ever read on any forums and it makes me want to throw my Android phone out the window because of all this hate going around.

Grow. The. ****. Up.
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
Hey pot... the kettle is looking for you. Its the fanboys, they effectively ruin everything. iFanboys and android fanboys are a shame, but you jump in and curse at everyone and it's like your shooting an ak-47 in your glass house.

Calm down there kiddo.
[Droid Incredible General] karnovaran:
This thread should be in the main XDA General forum. It is not a question about the Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
Rude asshole

You are a rude asshole. Throw your phone out the window and get the hell away from us then, PLEASE!. We don't need or want someone like you around anyway.

These are opinions. YOU need to grow the fk up.
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
I'm sorry if I don't understand why you guys need to be fanboys about your phones and tell people why the other phone is bad. Why can't this topic just be deleted or something?

Opinions? You're going at each others throats harshly telling each other your phones are crap or one or the other is an asshole for owning/wanting whatever phone, and I'm the rude asshole? Have you even read one post in this topic?
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
Have you actually read them? Yeah, there are some rude people, but I've been having good debates with people. This topic is generating buzz and with the exception of people calling the iPhone a retard smartphone... I've had a good time.

This thread wasn't even alive really anymore until you had to go piss in the ant hill. When you do what you did, most people generally stop hating each other to hate the guy pissing on our home. Hey R. Kelly... take it elsewhere.
