|
 |
my old provider contract is running out in a few weeks and my good old w910i is pretty banged up right now, so...time for new shit! 
what i'm looking for: excellent mp3 player sound quality and music library navigation, nice design, slider/clamshell, rather small in size, overall good build quality, gps
things i couldn't care less about: touchscreen, shiny/piano black finish, camera, qwerty keyboard, any extra functions no one needs anyway
budget: don't really care as long as it's worth it
the candidates so far:
sony ericsson w995 - more or less the successor to my old one. seems perfect, but nothing fresh
LG new chocolate BL20 - uuuuuuuuh shiny. red led stuff. me want. don't know about the functionality though
iphone 3gs 16gb - haven't got a girlfriend right now, so why not get something that looks nice, reacts to my manly touch and even speaks to me

meh , still got my w810 from 2006 , why spend hundreds of bucks on something i do not need ?
face it , most of you suckers only buy it cause it's new and cool and shit , not because you need 32GB (?!) of space on you fucking cell phone , wi-fi and god knows what else..
i'm guessing most of you suckers use the same basic shit like any 5 year old phone , you only use 3G , Wi-Fi , assvibration only because you have it and paid for it ..
oh , and not to mention that battery life is shit on iphones .
but if i would buy a tocuhscreen phone it would probably be xperiax2

QFT  Its amazing what you can do with it, and so many amazing applications.. I really love it.. Not to mention its very small compared to phones in its competition..
People who bash mac / iphone are usually morons who cant afford one / jealous that they still have a shitty 3+ year old phone OR have never tried one and just like bandwagon riding.

Apple makes pretty stylish and good (usually, but not always) stuff -- iPods, iPhones etc. The first iPod I bought was bricked / DOA, though. Second still works decently.
What's so special about Macs, though? Pay more money for a weaker Intel computer? Yeah, I'll go right ahead and do that! Oh, and I get to use Windows anyway if I want to play non-Mac OS games? This is perfectly logical!
Enlighten me guys, tell me why I would want to choose a Mac over any other PC. Help me NFOhumpers.

If you spend more time trying to get your computer to work and less time doing what you want, it’s time to get a Mac. Because Apple makes both the software and the hardware, everything works together, just as it should. That’s why people who get a Mac love a Mac. And why you will, too.

They are amazing, buying one significantly increased my business productivity. People will say yeah "theyre simple" as if thats a bad thing.. and "why not buy a windows system retard, are you dumb?" blabla.. but to be honest, I have a busy lifestyle and I have no time for blue screen of death, viruses or compatibility issues. Windows can fuck right off ..
Not to mention they look absolutely great + the latest iMac is virtually silent when on full load.

No, you can actually read in the OS section that I ran a OSx86 for a week and I quite not hated the OS itself at all. I hate the overblown prices on generic hardware and the macfag attitude you demonstrated in your post. Quite a big difference.

Judging by your phone choice, and me being totally unbiased, I'm going to go with "with Leo, at Wgem".

Thanks for the info. But ... I don't know, I haven't had a BSOD since screwing with system files in Windows XP (which I fully deserved). Haven't had a virus problem since 1997, and I don't really spend any time getting my computer to work. Windows 7 is pretty nice, too.
And I don't like how they are claiming on that advertisement that they make all of their own hardware and software when Mac OS is pretty much modded UNIX, they use Intel / AMD CPUs and nVidia graphics cards.
Honestly, from a price/perfomance/useability standpoint, I have yet to see any justification for getting one.
Here's how I see it right now. Mac has fewer applications / games, less customization, reduced performance (price-to-price) ... the only real pro I can see is the whole security through obscurity.

Fuck Mac for recreational use, as a work computer I wouldn't mind it at all and loved it when I worked with digital distribution.
Anyways this was about phones and I have a shitty old N73 but I wouldn't mind one of the new HTC ..is it magic?
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

Out of these two, the Omnia 2 is the better device. But if you can find any of the devices I mentioned above, they would be better.
