would you recommend an ilolphone if someone was buying a smartphone?

also valid @ anyone else who owns an ilolphone, excluding jp and evan

I enjoy mine a good bit, but doubt there is a huge difference between a droid and iphone other than the music.

android

/anti apple out of principle

and the need for itunes shitting up your pc

mainly curious about the app differences, i hear about a lot of cool apps for apple, im sure a lot of them have android clones, but dunno

I dont use itunes, just stream online radio if I dont listen to my zune

Don't have an answer for that question. I know there are waaay more apps and shit than I could ever use

ill be honest, apps look better on the iphone, though no real functionality difference
at least for the few apps my boss and i have checked out side by side
but i assume thats because you actually have to be approved to be an apple app

also, anyone have any idea on the battery life if using mainly as a music player

i have the original iphone, no itunes on my computer

battery life is pretty good, it was our dj for nearly the entire 8 hr drive and still had over 30% by the time we were going to bed/when i charged it

i would assume new iphones are even better, i dont have 3g or 4g but yeah. i have had no issues with battery

i am the worst ilolphone user that you could possibly pick to ask this question

i have 7 apps installed on my phone, 4 of them gary installed to play when he was at my house, 3 of them are beer related and i dont use them anymore

i cant speak for the newer version but the original release one that im still using needs to be charged 3 times a day, the network shuts off abruptly at 1:00 every day and now no longer supports 3g

wireless networking no longer works on my phone making that worthless

the new model costs $300 as a "discounted upgrade" they can kindly blow me, when my current phone breaks im uncertain i will even get a new phone of any kind to replace it, fuck it

so everyone who has an iphone on dcnet has a shitty old one, oh well

i was debating getting the new one just because it has a video camera that i would use one the baby arrives... but honestly i dont think it is worth the price

im sure there are plenty of other smartphones for a fraction of the price that you could be just as happy with and have just as much utility

oh you and tanner must be on att too, $199 + 2yr contract for the new iphone on verizon

I have a 4, the battery life is great. I streamed music today for 2-3 hours + texted, browsed etc and now need to charge. If I just periodically text and make a call or two during the day I usually have 50-60% battery life by the time i go to bed.

im actually very willing to pay the price of the phone, just the monthly fee that bothers me, currently have $5/month family voice line

if youre going to pay 750 bux for the plan, might as well spend 200 for the newest phone instead of 50 or 100 for an older one

my cell phone bill a month is $195
but i pay for 4 different lines and 2 of them are smartphones

with all the competition that ilolphone has i should do some research tomorrow into migrating and saving some monies

Get the 4, it looks so much better. Its like watching a tube tv vs a hd lcd

i make $5000 per year, thats a big nope

steve jobs does need more of your money

dudes gonna die soon, who cares

yes

solid answer, you have much to add

i have an iphone 4, and very happy with it so far. the only issue with music is that i cannot manually update it like any other ipod, meaning i cannot pick and choose music from different computers like i could with a non-phone ipod.

i also just stream online radio like my jewish counterpart with the pandora app

app variety/functionality excellent

I have an iPod touch and the on-screen keyboard is still a hassle after getting used to it. Compare the iPhone keypad and a Droid with a swype-enabled keypad and see how you like them.

i still prefer 2 cans of green giant and a long shoe string

i googled a picture of a tin can phone when you pooped about considering clearly to buy a new phone

decided clearly to poop it though
