Rinkrat, you must REALLY like Sprint.

Sprint is fine. AT&T sucks. Verizon was ok--if expensive--until I moved into a condo where there was no coverage (which Verizon denied, and made me pay the ETF).

So I guess you live on top of a Sprint 4G tower?

Sprint is so awful, words cannot even begin to describe it.

You couldn't pay me enough to go back to Sprint.

I love Sprint. I have not had a single bad experience with them.

But you could pay me enough to switch to Verizon. It would be very expensive.

You'd have to pay for the difference between my Sprint plan and a comparable Verizon plan.

Android is by far TCR. You may see a lot of Apple trolling ITT, but if you don't believe me, ask the opinion of any former iPhone user who switched to Android. I've met well over a dozen of them and not one had slightest doubts about Android's superiority.

Give me an iPhone with swipe and a 4.3" screen and I'll throw my droid X in the trash.

I've tried Android. It sucks incredibly next to my iPhone.

I think TCR is who gives a shit? One phone isn't more professional than the other, and to be honest, nobody will care.

It's a phone bro, personal preference FTW.

And btw, 4G is nothing but a sales gimmick.

But wait, you said ask any iPhone user who switched. I switched for about 20 seconds.

I read all the posts seriously but couldn't stop laughing at this one.

I personally HATE ball cursors so, iPhone was an obvious choice for me...well, I mainly liked how it looked

Have you used it? Run a network speed test?

Most of the time I don't bother with it, this is true, but if there's a big file (apps, OS update, huge email attachment, etc) I need to download and I'm not at home near my wi-fi, I definitely turn it on.

I didn't buy the phone because it gets 4G, I bought it because it was the best Android phone at the time. But WiMax does exist and it is faster.

Yeah but your response didn't validate his argument so it was disregarded.

They're not ball cursors anymore. It's a touchscreen square.

No because it doesn't exist. And yes.

... unless you're technologically inept.

Android allows more customization, but make no mistake - you will need to customize it! You can't take it out of the box expecting the phone to be preset the way you want it. After you spend a couple of days playing with it, you will not want anything else.

I'm not technologically inept. In fact, I'm smart enough to prefer software that functions fine out of the box instead of requiring you to mess with it to make it work.

Well, it can't get any less entertaining than your pedantic and repetitive "4G doesn't exist yet." No, there is no 100Mbps "officially certified" 4G network yet. Yes, there are several future 4G networks in place, that, while not achieving the required speeds to be designated "4G," are a fuck of a lot faster than regular old 3G. (But since that undermines your argument, you've just disregarded it.)

lol@android allowing more customization.

Customization stops at home UI's. Which to be honest backfired because I have yet to see a decent android UI outside of stock honeycomb.

I also couldn't believe that my DroidX couldn't play Robot Unicorn Attack because it didn't have enough "graphic processing power," whatever that means.

Sorry, I have to give the hat to the iPhone here - especially when jailbroken + cydia.

RC fail. The software works just fine. The ability to customize is what blows the iPhone out of the water.

So wait, you just admitted he is right....there is no official "4G" yet.

In my book, the only real 4G is Sprint's implementation.

And fast? Fast is for the lulz on cellphones because they have yet to solve the one question that would make EDGE a joy to play: ping and packetloss issues. Response times are just horrible on LTE from what I've tested thus far.
