I dont think I've ever seen anybody give such a biased review as this, this guy had my blood boiling for a moment.
Take a look if you dare and judge for yourself. Tell me if you can keep your composure...

Wow this guy is a dumbass!
I have seen lizards sunbathing give better reviews than this, then again this is the iphone blog so I guess I may have been expecting a little too much since peripheral vision with other electronic devices that aren’t Apple pretty much is non-existent, I guess he can be forgiven.
Great star wars theme impression tho!

lol best comment ever!!!
who gives a flying f**k about what an Apple-Fanboy has to say about WinMo Devices ?
He can berate our Hardware until he starts bleeding from every orifice, but the iPhone will never be as customizable and extendable than ANY WinMo Phone, period.
Best example is AppStore... you get to pay for second class (and that's really saying it in a nice way) software that only has a few functions which are badly implemented.
Also, you are seeing what kind of Audience Apple is trying to attract when you look at the "Facebook" App.
They should release apps for MySpace, Twitter, StickAm and stuff like that for all the young and hip media-prostitutes out there too.

Neither do I give a rats a** but its astonishing how someone can put out that piece of junk (only going as deep as the main menu) and call it a review.
Then again if it's a calculated scheme to increase number of hits to their site, then i guess they have succeeded, can't say if it's the right attention though.
Cant see why the fuss - the review was pretty sh*t but the phone looks like a bloater, its way to thick for my taste and makes my Touch look like its super thin. And his comments about the interface are true - in its pursuit to make eye candy HTC keep making it slower and more error prone. I would never buy an Iphone as i love the customization of the HTC but for your average phone user who does not want to learn anything at all the iphone gives them all they need.
I just can't stand Apple and their Marketing Tactics... they make it sound like they were the first to bring a Smartphone (which the iPhone actually isn't) to the Market that has a touchscreen... and Millions of fanboys actually fall in line and buy that crap.
I'm not saying that Apple Computers are crap, they're good at a few things too, chief among which is "looking good" but did the world really need that overhyped Phone ?
well it's definitely not thin, thats something I can live with, granted all that it does. Guess when there is a phone with all the capabilities of the TP as thin as a diamond with a 5 row keyboard, then we can complain. About the phone being slow, any phone during initial start up process is slow, its not HTC specific.
I don't have beef with Apple, just the fanboys and the fanboy sites!
He compares a TP to a Samsung Instinct for God's sake!!!
I could care less if my Phone was the size of a frickin' cinder-block as long as it does everything I want it to do... it does not have to be slim enough to slide it through underneath a Door.
I'll probably get me an HTC Opal next year or so, with Manila 2D... that thing will make me happier than any iPhone that will ever see the light of day.
What a fool!!!!
Holy **** he makes HTC Fuze makes the most ****ing piece of crap ever made! jajajaja i will make a video review for my hermes and it will be much better than that stupidity useless preview.... Holy **** this makes me hunger!!!
That was actually rather ridiculous. He does make some valid points as to WM's lack of finesse in some departments, but he really seemed to go out of his way to be child-like and/or a douche bag with that phone.
Yes, I tend to use a stylus with my Tilt because the screen seems to be purposefully fighting me, but it's not nearly as bad as he's making it out to be.
"The era of hard keyboards is over"
whatever, I think this review is totaly refering to the guys inteligence. He complains that he dont know how to use the sliding of the pics and music. How is that silly.
LOL
The music of "star wars" is hilarious!!
Hahahaha

Wow, that is truly a slap on the neck. He just could be the most annoying thing ever with that introduction. It's a rather childish review if you ask me.
That idiot with his comments is one the biggest stupidities i've seen in my life. If his brain capacity is not high enough (or there at all) to manipulate a pocket pc, he should have never blame it on the device and get himself a Motorola Startak (with the Manual Book and Quick Reference Guide of course!!).
Haha! I bet he still uses it.

he touches the screen like a cat scratching a tire
the guy is like woody allen reviewing a phone
well, he does have ONE point, the "smoothness" of the phone isnt all that great, coming(him, not me) from the iphone, you shouldn't have to wait for your touch to take effect, for example when he is trying to navigate in HTCalbum. stupid qualcomm CPU's. I'm not buying another htc phone until they use a different processor, I was ALMOST fooled with the TouchPRO, until I saw some videos and heard some input. in some ways its worse and slower than the kaiser.
We need an HTC phone that is as fast as the iphone or faster. I'm really surprised HTC hasn't tried to compete speed wise, it really amazes me...
o, but anyway, about the video.
Yeah he kinda sucks at reviewing. And it's obvious he is a noob to TouchFLO3d lol. he's not grabbing the current tab, he's just sliding on other tabs.

Guys, I want to ask for a favour.
Ages and ages back I read about what I thought was an amazingly cool gadget.
We like gadgets.

I got speaking with the guy that invented this thing, and was mightily impressed. You'll be able to read my review soon... but this is the gadget:
The Alpha Grip:
It's a keyboard, compressed onto a gamepad like device. The keys are positioned around and under natural finger positions, according to usage and linguistic frequency; others are positions under the controller and used with rocker type switches.
It's difficult to describe, but the thing sits naturally in your hands and you have full keyboard access, in an exceptionally innovative, ergonomic design.
And, there's more - it also has a little trackerball that sits under your thumb position, so you can control both mouse and keyboard functions without ever taking your hands off the device.
It is complicated, and takes some getting used to, but when you are used to it, it's amazingly neat and geeky. I used to play all of my FPS games with a nostromo N52, but this thing lets you even further automate your gaming, macros and keyboard layouts. It's not quite the perfect game controller, but it's damn near close.
It is wired USB. Wires are baaad.
Unfortunately, it is not wireless or bluetooth etc, which is something I've spoken to the inventor about implementing. So, it's not quite ready for our phones yet, but as and when it is, wow.
However, I use it with an OQO mini computer and it's a perfect marriage, compact and highly productive (once you master the learning curve and get used to it). I guess you could use it with an xbox 360 and ps3 too, which would be cooool (although I've never tried). It emulates a standard USB Keyboard and mouse, so is highly compatible and doesn't use special drivers.
Anyway, enough blurb, I'm not selling this thing, I'm not even reviewing this thing here - you'll be able to read a full review from me eventually (and I'm in no way commercially connected or benefited from this).
However, my favour:
AlphaGrip, the company, have superb technical support and customer care. I like the product, I like the company. But you've probably never heard of either.
So: Yahoo have a competition on right now running between various small businesses that need more attention. I think Alphagrip needs and deserves this... so, have a look at the Yahoo page, and see if you think AlphaGrip deserves a vote. You don't have to buy the product, or even like it, but just decide if it deserves some of your mouse click love to get a gadget a bit more attention.
Gracias.
Yahoo Competition
V
PS. If you do buy one, tell Mike Willner, the inventor, that I sent you. I'll try to put in a good word for us and get us a deal.
EDIT: guys, I've just heard back from Mike, and he says that when you're buying the AlphaGrip, if you say that you're a member of this forum and write your XDA forums user ID in the comments section of the purchase page, you'll get $10 off the price.
And if you also mention that you've also voted on the Yahoo competition (quote something from his video interview to prove you've seen it), you'll get an extra $5 off! Go out and buy yourself a free lunch on Mike...
He said that they are certainly interested in doing a wireless adaptor or an all smartphone compatible version, so winning the competition will help get them the resources to do that. Hurry up and click already!
Guys, I want to repeat. I don't work for these guys, and aren't commercially linked to them in any way. I've just found Mike and his guys (and gals) to be a refreshingly helpful and conscientious tech company. They don't over inflate their claims, but make 100% solid and innovative stuff.
its got my vote.. im not a gamer but love me some gadgets, can see that thing being very useful
Thanks shogunmark!
I have to say that I'm quite a fan of non standard input devices. My all time favourite is the Microsoft Strategic Commander. If you've never seen one, it's basically the thing the little dude in Flight of the Navigator uses to fly the UFO. It kicks ass, but it's a bit too clever for it's own good. It actually has one axis assigned to flexing space/time, like too much Prince of Persia!
Day to day I tend to use the Nostromo n52 (not just for games, but general productivity work with appropriate macros, keyboard hooks and Windows PowerPro - my all time favourite app)
And I've also reviewed the Wolf Claw, which is more conventional, but useful for WASD users. I'm not a WASD fan personally.
BTW, I finally managed to spend some time with the Wii this weekend. It's not a particularly accurate input device, but novel - has anyone considered porting the open source Windows Bluetooth Input Interface to WinMob? It'd be cool to play doom on your phone on the Tube. Way to get shot in the head...

Hey guys, would any of you consider using the AlphaGrip or any of the above toys, including those for external application only?
One game pad I haven't owned is the Saitek Pro Gamer Command.
I played with it once on a display model and found it tacky and clunky. I much prefer the ergonomics of the Nostromo.
Do you guys ever use these things? Like I said, Nostromo is great for FPS, but you can also configure it to do stuff in productivity apps like PhotoShop, Word, VS2005, Winamp etc (although of course you can do that with pretty much any input device with appropriate software).

Geez, what have I got myself into?! This thread degenerated in a hurry.
it's not just a pc/phone/mp3player
it's a lifestyle
a lifestyle where you have a designer home
which the people from the magazine will come by to get some pictures
for their frontcover of!
and right after that steve jobs comes by
and comment on your cool new black turtle neck
then you play 1on1 baskerball for a bit
and take your rollerblades and run/drive
down to the coffee shop(not the dutch type )
where you have a latte' and listen to some progressive
standUp poets
and thats a day!
apple users on the other hand dont know what it's like being a pc user
always checking under the bed and behind the trashcans in the ally
to check if steve balmer is there (he's always somewhere! )
sniffing and checking and looking if you somehow
are taking shady actions which will in some way
shake his empire
he's not scared of getting a bit rouch and psycial
and sooner or later he will! inject that transmitter device/mind control pill
which for some odd ms R&D related reason can only be inserted
into the rectum
and he will totally kill your dualboot with linux
remove all your favourite mongoose pr0n
and set back your desktop to the default ms comercial it came with
and put buy vista on your today list
:O given the choice of walking passed him in a brith ligth steet i would take my chances with the radioactive bums with freggin laserbeams on their heads
in the dark ally
no biggy i've been doing that myself for years
have been thinking about going to uk but the whole concept of going
the wrong way around roundabouts would prob make me break down
and confess everything
never heard about her before in my life
maybe i just dont come in the right commune

heck maybe i'm on their list of the first up agenst

How bad! As long as you don't go with vista, everything can be plugged to your PC!

Hmm.... Here we go fighting again over which computing architecture is better...
Oh well, might as well through some wood on that fire:
At work, my station is a 2.4 P4 PC with XP Pro. A graphics designer in our office is using an old G4 Mac with OS 9 (I am told it is running a 400MHz processor, but I really don't know).
Once when I needed to use the Mac to find some file (the graphics guy was on vacation) I found that getting used to a mouse with only one button is not so easy... (WTF? There isn't even tap and hold
Then again, single operation on a certain huge graphic file that took almost 30 min on my PC took less then 2 min on the Mac...
What does that say about which is better? Nothing! To each his (or hers) own!
But I do think that Apple is making a move in a very bad (read: suicidal) direction by announcing that unlocked iPhones will be bricked by firmware update...

crackup!
the web cam was mentioned as something a mac would have trouble with. You should try vista! I noticed that my built in web cam was not set up properly in my device manager so i selected the correct cam and installed the driver. I restarted vista and it told me the computer could not start. There was no access to anything like safe mode from xp. Vista then reinstalled all its components (taking half an hour) it then told me it would not be able to fix itself then brought up the blue screen and turned off. Thats like saying screw you - you messed with a minor piece of hardware your computer is now garbage.
I repeated this 5 times and it magically worked. A quick trip to device manager to disable the cam and no more problems. Even through my disgust with macs they are starting to look a whole lot better compared to vista.
I'm sure there are good things about apple. I sell Macs at work so I have to say good things about apple so I can get my $25 comission. This thread isn't about that however. This thread is a VENT thread. I want to hear all the things you hate, can't stand, dislike or are slightly irritated by - when it comes to anything apple.
Apple fanboys - with any luck there are sure to be a lot of baseless accusations, arguments without due grounds and all sorts of logical fallicies. There may even be embrassing pictures of Steve Jobs if we're lucky enough. However I just would like you to keep in mind we don't want any but's. No "But actually it doesn't", no "They fixed that in version 7" ect. The only butt allowed is if someone posts a picture of Steve Jobs mooning preschoolers.
If you want to, start a thread about why apple roxor your soxor, but please, give us space to vent!
I'll start:
I hate yuppies using an iPhone as a status symbol, and every single god damm person that sees my phone (HTC Touch Pro2) asking me either "Why didn't you get an iPhone" or "Is that some kind of iPhone knockoff?"

I hate Apple product users because they think that once they buy a product from Apple that they had to pay out the ass for, they think they're the best in the world. Those things are horrible, over-simplistic devices. I'm glad I have my Touch Pro 2.

it's because the iPhone.....is their "precious"
I hate the way apple purposely Design the phone so that features standard in every other phone, are not there or DO NOT WORK. Eg bluetooth: only works for other iphones. SD card slot has already been mentioned, Itunes is annoying to use, No USB ports, and this is only just a start on its flaws. Why Don't many reviewers mention these flaws? Impartiality seems to go out the window when apple is involved.
I also dislike the free adverising apple gets when major companies adveritse their new iphone apps, or iphone only promotions. It would be fine if they advertised it in conjunction with their apps for other phone brands, but they dont. This just contributes to the misconception that iphone is the only phone with any support.

honestly though, he bought the iphone for a stupid amout of money.. he give me it to play with, after 10 mins i gave it him back and said it was sh*t..
* the look on his face was a picture for the funny pictures thread lol
A few years back my friend bought a Mac desktop for $5000... My $2500 pc runs circles around it .
How about such "innovative" features such as a front facing camera or multitasking (my G1 could multitask for Pete's sake). At least you get to hold yer iphone 4 in an "innovative" manner.

I hate Apple because they...
1. Make up marketing terms to make it look like they invented stuff that they didn't.
a. "Retina display". WTF? I wasn't aware there was a limit on how dense pixels can be. If you listen to Steve, it's as if they made a huge technological breakthrough so that we can finally have a 326dpi screen.
Newsflash: The Toshiba G900 had a 313dpi screen. It was released in 2007.
b. "Face Time". WTF? It's called "video calling". And it's been around for as long as I can remember 3G being around. Plus, Apple's implementation doesn't even work over cellular network. When it finaly does, it'll be another new "feature".
2. Introduce rudimentary features that have been around for years and then make it sound like they're new and awesome.
a. These were not available until 2009. MMS, cut-copy-paste, video recording, camera autofocus.
b. These were not available until 2010. Wallpaper, camera flash, multitasking, folders.
1. Their PR lies; about stats, about innovation, about anything
2. Jobs is a psycho
3. They make products for the technologically retarded and I am not technologically retarded
4. They lie
5. They lie
6. They are fanned by 1000000 douche bags across the US
7. They lie
Apple blows. Steve Jobs needs to die already.
Loving the contributions guys, keep em comming.
I hate how people always assume that there are more apps on an iphone - the Windows Mobile platform has been around for 10years, is completely open and anyone can install any software on their phone. There is no way apple ever will have an edge when they strange their software developers.
I hate how people will spend more money on a mac product that does exactly the same (if not less) as a similar product, because its 'apple'.
The iphone is like McDonalds. It tastes good (to they majority), its always the same (dependable) you have a great range (of whats on the menu) and anyone can hand over money and enjoy their food.
Windows Mobile is like cooking. If you don't know what your doing, you're going to be boiling 2minute noodles and not be that impressed compared to a happy meal. However if you're willing to learn about cooking, to put the time and effort into finding out what you can do with different ingrediants, how to put them together - then you can make an absolutely amazingly delicious meal for a fraction of the cost of takeaway food
Sure you can't just get delicious food if you're not willing to put the time in, but if you are? You can get something that meets your every craving and satisfies all your tastes!
http://www.buzzfeed.com/katienotopoulos/iphone-users-disgusted-by-android-instagram
Check out that link.
First of all instagram is a disgrace to every real photographer in the world who actually spends time editing pictures to look better instead of just tossing on a generic mask. Next how can one group of users (namely iPhone users) actually say "Yuck" and "ew" to another group of people being able to use the same service. I dont see anyone who owns a BB saying "Man Android users getting BBM is like losers in high school taking over the cool table", as one retarded person in that post said with regards to instagram on android. In fact I'm pretty sure many BB users would be happy they can BBM more of their friends, or atleast I felt that way when I had a BB. This is truly proof that idiots (I know not everyone that uses instagram falls under this category but clearly these people do) who use instagram truly do think they are better than others simply because they can upload retro looking pictures of their meals and random highlights of their day. Well guess what you can have your *********** instagram back because android has 45 or 50 apps that have the exact same functions and most likely function even better.
To anyone with an android device, do yourself a favour and download Pixlr-o-matic. Its an app brought to you by Autodesk (the company made famous for building autocad and revit as well as 3dstudio max and countless other pieces of pricey software). Its available for free on the Google Play Store and is much better than that piece of elitist **** iPhone users call instagram.
Edit: This was copied from my FB, excuse my language.
Those posts explain everything that is wrong with iPhone users. Thinking their inferior products are better because of a logo.

This post reflects my first thought:
"Neo Zargaran · Los Angeles, California
They all use "ew" is this a campaign or something? ****ing idiots."
:weeps for humanity:
I agree, Pixlr-o-matic is much better than Instagram. I just compare those two application today.

***** please. I'm more retro than any instagram user. Well I have to say I will use the app once in a blue moon, but I hate people calling themselves photogs by owning a stupid app. If you don't get the photo, search for 'Holga'

Haha im with you.
I do a lot of automotive photography. And can spend hours sifting through my pictures and editing them to my satisfaction. In fact i just finished a portfolio (Im currently in school for architecture) which showcased a lot of my photography.
And to have someone come a long take a picture on their cell phone and throw a mask on it and say its better than my pictures makes me sad for humanity. And yes this did actually happen i showed someone a final edit of a picture i had taken, and they whipped out their cellphone and showed me a picture in which they had used the effects built in to camerazoomFX.

Some things you can say:
"Can you zoom into that part of the photo so I can see the detail?"
"Wow, what a great photograph! I'd love to have it hanging in my room at 20x30 inches. You think we can work something out???....oh wait, your ****ty 5MP camera won't allow prints that big."
The only time I use my phones camera is to shoot something funny I see, or if I see something absolutley gorgeus, and I REALLY have to have a photo of it, or of my camera gear...also when drunk in bars. That's really what camera phones were made for.

[email protected] i completely agree with you, i have on my E4GT and also have pixl one u stated like that better than instagram. but these cry baby iphone users act they invented instagram and its only for them. No the creator(s) smartened up and marketed this app to android for more publicity outside of whack @$$ apple. Marketing genious IMO. BUt let the apple iphone user hate cuz android is a million times better anyway. APPLE needs to step their screen size game up.
Wow. Those posts completely put me off. Let the dumb iPhone users f*** themselves with their closed-source, terrible-screened, slow pieces of crap. What has the world come to. I dream of the day when apps are made for Android and not iOS. That'll show them "ew"
/endrage
Edit: Most of us XDA users are way smarter than the average iPhone user actually, because we rooted our phones, flash them etc. which requires skill. Skill is not defined by updating through one click to the latest iOS. Coding and devvin' definitely takes skill.
Ew. iPhone users.....just....eeeewwwww.

Most iPhone users suffer from extreme retardation. Either they don't want to learn about android and just jump on the mainstream train of licking Apple's ass and bashing android, or they are too retarded to learn.
I never understood the iPhone vs. Android fanboy wars...its the one thing more irritating than Dem vs Repub to me. The way I look at it, STFU and enjoy whichever phone you have, they're both good.

If this is the case ... iPhone users should not be permitted to use Gtalk service on their phones. And let them cry about that. Let apple create their own free email account and integrate IMs on it.
I'm still wondering what would happen if Echofon for Twitter is released for android !! **Sighs**
the cluttered homepage of iphones just bores the hell outta me. whats the point of having wallpaper when you can't see it?
and yes, don't use google's search engine, gmail, gtalk, streeview maps!!! ewwee
actually this isn't just about android, the same **** happens in forms about everything from TV series, movie stars to books and video card manufacturers, who knows.
What happens is whenever I make a post about something negative about whatever is discussed in the forum, everyone wants to kill me. I mean what the ****? Nothing is perfect okay? It’s a sad fact of life, learn to accept it?
It would seem to me that many people here tend to think their awesome magical super multitasking gigantic 6.99in. screen octa-core hyper-fast android phone with 35 home screens 126 gadgets, running a different LWP on each homescreen, customized to the last pixel, rooted even before being produced, quad-led flash and 82mp camera with 10x optical zoom and phase-detect autofocus and optical inferred, ultraviolet, x-ray mode, with photon-multiplying night vision, with built-in light saber, smartphone. Is the most perfect phone ever to be conceived since before the Big Bang, never to be seen again, not in this universe, or any other coming after it, or any other parallel to it, by any intelligence, divine or not, alive or not, carbon based or not, organic or mechanical, conscious or not. Not even the all-powerful all-knowing omnipotent omniscient Yahweh can reproduce, or even conceive its intricate design.
It’s just so sad whenever I post something going against such a belief without repeatedly expressing it was definitely caused by my own stupidity and inability to write my own operating system with machine language from the ground up blind folded one handed on a phone, debugging it, and installing it on the very same phone, without any other device or help. It seems that if I don’t do that, I am not allowed to say anything negative about android or people would try to kill me.
I know you have your explanations, you call it the “constructive criticism” standard. Something like, as I understand it, if I wanted to say something bad about android, I better have a solution for it. So if I don’t have a solution we should just sweep it under the rug and never mention it? Why is that? Cuz someone might get upset? I mean how pathetic? Like does your life’s sole purpose depend on the invincibility of the argument of your phone’s perfect design?
Now let me say something more serious. You shouldn’t find your confidence in your phone, or the brand of your motherboard, or the price of your watch, or the horsepower of your car, or the cup size of your girlfriend. Because all these, one day they won’t be there with you, they all diminish with time. So go find something more worthwhile, so you don’t get mad when people convince you that your phone isn’t perfect.
Well, I want to kill you for making a hard to read post.
In before the lock?
I don't see anything specifically lock-worthy, but, just in case ib4c since Archer told us not to post ib4l ....it will probably go on for a bit since Archer is likely asleep and I don't see vanessaem online.

You make a thread titled "Android is not perfect" and don't give a single reason why it's not perfect. Instead you go insulting those who use the operating system (Which I would hardly call constructive criticism). Yes most of us realize that Android is not perfect. Software will never be perfect. There will always be better and more things to add. Now I agree with you in that some people take the specs of their phone way too seriously but that is not the majority of users.
P.S. It's not just Android people that will get mad if you start insulting. If you go to an Ubuntu forum and telling them that Linux is crap, they will yell at you. Same with an iPhone forum.
Oh and...
I'd rather kill the OP than read that wall of text. I don't think anyone would mind that..
I'll never understand why someone would go to the effort of typing up such a rant and not even bother to make it readable? Isn't the whole point of rants like this to have people read them (and based on the title, incite some kind of argument, it's obvious troll bait)?
