Misc iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, or Samsung S4 - Page 12

Happy with the 5c I got. Plastic body's no big deal, and aside from that I think the 5s has some extra camera flashes and a slightly faster chip. For the $100 upgrade (vs. the $200 upgrade for the 5s) it's fine.

Does anyone actually need a $500+ cell phone?

We really only NEED food, water, and shelter from the elements and animals such as lions and dinosaurs. Super phones are just cool. No different from getting a $50,000 Chevy when a used Hyundai will get you where you need to go.

For a lot of people I know, yes.

Seriously. What the **** is the point of a curved RIGID display?

Say hello to the idiotic Galaxy Round.

Why on Earth would someone want a phone shaped like that? Just so it can flop around on every flat surface you put it on?

Exactly what i was thinking. They say it conforms better to people's faces.. but what the hell? Do you know anyone with a massive curve like that on the SIDE of their head? Just weird.

so it fits better on their buttcheek. It amazes me how many kids put their phone in their back pocket and sit on it.

Samsung's entire design process is:

1. Look at rumors of what its competitors are planning.
2. Release it first in some shitty way.
3. Wait for someone else to release a better product.
4. Copy them.

They've been doing this shit for ages.

Huh. Can't say I'm very intrigued by that.

If it was FLEXIBLE that would be badass.. but adding a curve to a rigid display seems ridiculous.

So I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone. All I really use my phone for is phone calls, browsing the internet, and downloading podcasts.

I also have a Bose Sounddock with the Lightning Connector, so it would make my audio entertainment a lot easier I think. Unfortunately, my iPod nano with the lightning connector cannot connect to Pandora.

I'm a big Android fan, but I always tell people - the iPhone is a great phone. For people that don't mind the ecosystem (it's great for podcasts, for example. And accessories), it's perfect. It just doesn't work for me.

Apple might run into some problems in a year or two with their design constraints, but they still have some of the best hardware out there. I'd say most of my friends still have iPhones and iPads.

As for the Nexus 5 and Verizon, I'd be really surprised if they have it. Google and Verizon don't get along well, and Verizon is no fan of open devices. My guess is it'll be a pure GSM device. Maybe even without any carrier partnership at all. I'm not sure Google wants to compete with itself with the Moto X now. But that's pure speculation. I'll be buying one!

Nexus 5 is available to buy today. The Black 16 GB is sold out but you can get the white 16 GB and both 32 GB models.

Nightfyre · 10-12-2013, 09:16 PM

I'm waiting for the nexus five I've decided. I have my unlimited data for 30/month still through verizon, so the upgrade option is a little more expensive. I was leaning toward the G2 but the new price point of the nexus 5 for practically the same hardware plus new android os? hawt.
