Fuck you for posting my thought before I thunked them and posted.



But really a analog flip phone circa 2002 would be my choice over iPhone. Their factories in China make Walmart look like a job as a high up with Google. Nevermind that the fact of what the device does to make you do to be able to use apps and such with it are designed that when you switch back the transfer is either impossible or when converted are so fat from what you started with it wasn't worth transferring to begin with.


Android has how many diverse options on devices to choose from that there's a phone designed to your exact wants and needs. Or by an iPhone, I mean they do make an upgraded one every six months even if the upgrade is that it now can be in a different color. Wait that is an actual upgrade.

Use products that are more useful and durable per dollar amount than others. Or get the cool thing that the best/worst thing about it is that all those awesome people will think your a tad cool for it, you know those people, they had a couple shows about them. One starred Paris Hilton and the other on thinking of was guidos in a house on a beach. Actually anyone who watches mtv will also. How awesome is that, now fans of mtv and yourself will be able to talk about how rad your phones are and then talk about bieb dog.




tl;dr I took real cold meds that are only offered by thugs on street corners and me hating on iPhone

Your key word there is "if."  Why would I break my contract after my family has been with Sprint for 20 years?  I'm paying the same amount per month that someone who uses Boost or another no contract phone, but I get the benefit of not having to pay for a phone.

For $100, I would not have paid for an iPhone 4s.  That is the bottom line.

It's more the latter.



:lolwut:

Android and iOS are both smartphone platforms with very similar feature sets.  There are some things that you can do on Android that you cannot do on iOS, but IME they are not core competencies with regards to most people's daily use.

There are some downsides to Android.  In general:
- phone is not supported for updates for very long (oftentimes under a year)
- generally worse battery life
- less polished
- lower quality apps

Now there are pros as well
- file explorer on the device
- ability to set default apps
- random things like torrenting on your phone





that is complete bs.

I got a tablet from 2011 that still gets updates.

batery life is usually comprable(sp?) with an android though you can buy multiple/exended batteries...

they have many of the same apps.

you can do stuff like overclock/underclock with android.

you can use sd cards.

not too mention the 1000's of other benefits that I don't feel like getting in to right now.

I said in general.  There are so many manufacturers of Android devices you cannot make any absolute statements about Android devices.

The vast majority of manufactuers do not support Android updates for more than a year, especially at the non-flagship level.  If you buy a higher end device you have a much higher chance of receiving updates for a longer period of time.  OP is looking for a cheap phone, he is not going to be getting a flagship device.

Quote:

This varies wildly depending on the device and version of Android, but in general iPhones get better battery life.  The newest Android flagships are now getting significantly better battery life because they are massive with massive batteries, I will give you that.  Again though, this is not the type of device OP is looking for.

Quote:

I never said they didn't have the same apps, but the quality of each one is significantly lower on Android.  Developers also almost always develop for iOS first.

Quote:

If your phone works well why would you do that?  That is not a realistic use case for 99% of people.

Quote:

Only a very, very small percentage of devices are still being made with SD card slots.  Samsung is pretty much the only manufacturer doing so now.

:rolleyes:

Where do you think your Android phone is being made?  A lot of the time it's the assembly line over at the exact same factory.



I'm not an Apple fanboy and I quite like Android as well.  There are pros and cons to both platforms.  The vitriol that most of the members on here seem to spit at Apple is generally completely unwarranted.  I like to give an opposing viewpoint from the EXTREMELY skewed views most people seem to have here.

You're completely missing the point.  So for $100, what would you recommend that would be in that price range without a contract.

The Galaxy Nexus is OK - I had one for 1.5 years.  It has pretty bad battery life and a shitty camera and it also doesn't have the SD card slot that you listed as a big pro for Android.  It wouldn't be a terrible choice though.  If you're willing to go up to $150-200 you could probably get a Nexus 4 and that would be a much better choice IMO.

:facepalm:

Do you not understand that you end up paying basically the same amount as going with a cheaper carrier and buying a phone outright?

:lolsy:

In all fairness, I get what you're saying.  I would simply need to know the carrier and plan details to say whether or not I would pay $100 for an iPhone 4S.
