QUOTE(XaVieRGizmo @ Aug 7 2010, 05:48 PM) I am constantly checking my battery status, which i never had to do with my iphone. I remember my iphone lasted me 4days, i forgot to bring my charger in langkawi, even managed to play a NFS on the plane  , and made it back in time to charge. But samurai1337 is right, this seems quite a BIG price to pay, but considering what am i gaining by switching to android(remember i said iphone, and not iphone 3G, or 3GS) im pretty much happy with it. cannot compare 3G and non 3G phones... if want to compare non-3g iphone might as well compare with nokia 8250...  Added on August 7, 2010, 8:21 pmQUOTE(AskarPerang @ Aug 7 2010, 08:18 PM) Actually you can't compare E72 with a touch screen phone cos the screen size is smaller. Of course battery life will last longer. not to mention desire has a few apps tat constantly access the 3g line... This post has been edited by t3chn0m4nc3r: Aug 7 2010, 08:21 PM

No, don't switch. Install iDroid in a cheap 2G iPhoney. Check it out out on Youtube.

QUOTE(cleave @ Jul 13 2010, 11:54 PM) I wonder if we can undervolt an iPhone kernel.  speaking about voltage, apple's policy on chargers are very different too. Their own charging algorithm and such. Not so that universal. And yeah, u wondered if you could, but the fact is already there. It cant be undervolted ait? The iphone is great, very user friendly and super easy to use. Two of my friends bought a new phone, one is an iphone, the other one is an android device. The one using the iphone have no prob at all navigating and exploring except customizing and difficulties on transferring files. Yes, new iphone users tend to miss the universal rights to plug in your device and transfer stuffs anywhere anytime, i believe the older users just got used to it and dosent mind plugging into itunes n such. My other friend which bought the android device super scratched his head until it bleeds (ok, that over exaggerated.. lol). But he survived it, he even rooted his own device and flashed a custom firmware on it after he took some quality time studying the beauty of android.. haha. A conclusion i must say from my observation on the two is the iphone is very user friend, and yes, the one got the iphone is a female. Shes happy with her iphone now.

Android is a totally new mobile system but once I've use it, I would never want to use the old Nokia anymore. Maybe can try it even if you're using iPhone.

Probably due to less visibility in our market.

I also dont know anything about Apple last time until I get an Ipod Nano for free and its quite annoying to transfer files. Surprisingly Shuffle does not have the same problem. Anyway, I found it surprising that your friend is having problem with Android. Just like any other smartphone nia wor. Which part that took his life?

One thing I've noticed is that Android has brought a lot of co-operation from users of different brands. Motorola, HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson... we all use different brands but united by Google's OS.

Once davidgary73 the strict mods see it, it's gone. And if you repeat posting stuff condemning the phone over there, you will surely get a vacation off the forum.
