I think I've been brainwashed by apple

The real genius behind Apple marketing was that they appealed to media types. The people that make TV, News and movies as well as write reviews and blogs... it forced mass market appeal upon people who are less discerning about their technology purchases and more just about a trendy brand.

Hence Apple being able to get away with "inventing" facetime, not having MMS on the original iPhone etc...

Not to forget bragging about being able to copy and paste.
 
Iphone 4s let's say is a great phone. It's ios that I don't like. It's old and boring to look at. It's like having a clever girlfriend but she's butt ugly.

Good analogy, I like it! I know what you mean about the boring, I still can't believe they haven't done much with it all these years. I guess a lot of people like it that way though. I love the flexibility of the S3 though.

Taken me a while to "love" my S3 over my S2 and yes flexibility is key for me. I'm dead curious to see what the new iphone will bring but surely for the love of god, brighten up ios.
 
Given I've had the problem you are experiencing allow me to help you.

I had the 4s, sold the 4s and got a GS3, went back to the 4S and now I wish to hell I'd stuck with the GS3.

Stick with your S3.

Do you like or have any interest in cars? If so go and download torque :p

/Sold.
 
My goodness Mike! MAKE YOUR MIND UP!!!! :D :p



Also seriously! What is it with nearly every iphone 4/4s owner moving over to the GS 3 recently, is Samsung's marketing really that good now?! :p

Honestly you would think that they have now created a "Samsung religion" :D :p
 
Look at this samsung advert on the tv infront of me!! ;)

Whatever you do, if you get the GS3 or any other phone... .stick with it. Robbo and Nexus appear to find you anywhere!

Nexus, I like the removable battery mate ;) I'm still not decided yet! I'm sure it'll probably take CPW a day to get hold of me for my decision.

You've still got me down as an Apple 'fan' then!

It's quite incredible that someone can't just be a person who buys something made by Apple because they like it and there's not much more to it... but no, you've got to be a fan. ;)

I don't see a reason to strike an allegiance with a company, be it Samsung, Google, Microsoft, Sony, or Apple. If they make something I like, I'll buy it. If they make something that just isn't good enough, I won't bother.

I just view them as a technology company like any other, nothing particularly special, but not the evil behemoth many people love to obsess over, nor the god-like wonder company that the general public believe they are.

What do you mean by the 'special' category, can you elaborate?

I am in Robbos camp, I've had android phones, and they were just phones, messed about with Roms on all of them etc etc, but it all was a bit meh.
I decided to change to a 4s in February and I've been perfectly happy with it since, people say you lose a lot of functionality with iOS, but to be honest, for me you don't.
Calls, texts, Internet, music and pictures are all there. There's decent free navigation program's, as many pointless apps as you could want etc etc.

The build quality as well, it's just miles ahead of anything else.


This wasn't the case with the iPhone, 3G and 3GS, they were hamstrung and half arsed.
