PraetorDragoon Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I like this forum. Is it the friendly thrash talking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Is it the thrash talking? Yes. Nothing friendly about it though. Also I utterly fucking hate my phone. It's showing arm that I have 3g and no reception whatsoever yet it works like a wonder. When it's on 4g and full reception it works like shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 That looks a lot like how I consume coffee. My standard cup is 20 oz. I drink about 4-5 cups a day. People say it isn't healthy, but I have been doing it for 16+ years, with normal blood pressure. Well, what works, works right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more magical than science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have never been so fucking frustrated with a phone as I have with this. But I can't afford to buy a new one atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Never understood the clamour for apple products... what is so good about them, people would sell a kidney to get their hands on them? And then upgrade about three weeks later when the next version comes out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't get the appeal of Apple. (The phone. Not the iFruit variant) I like tinkering too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I happen to have an iPhone, it's a fairly old model by modern standards but it's done me alright. I chose it because it was an upgrade to my old iPod. I think it's alright, it has it's quirks but I'm not one of these fanatics who "MUST HAZ ALL THE APPLE!" stuff. I just like the phones and operating systems. I get on with them more than Samsung which I've had nothing but problems with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehMik Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've had an iPhone from the start. Until it's easier to break out of the ecosystem (music, mostly) I kind of feel trapped. Decent products but I have a nagging feeling there are better phones out there. Love their laptops though. Those are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 lol, i am the opposite i have a samsung galaxy phone which is a few years old now. Never had a problem, never wanted to upgrade. To be fair, all i want a phone for is to text and make or receive calls. Its a phone right? I sometimes take a picture on it, or listen to a bit od=f music. i even rebel and use the internet on it..but not very often. But i am old compared to you lot and really don't need a phone to exist (like young people seem to these days!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was overpriced and was a pain in the ass to deal with. Didn't help that apple wanted a fortune to fix it. (It was within the warranty Apple was required to give by law.) But if it works for you, that is nice. Stuff is supposed to work properly, no matter the manufracturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 It's the opposite around me. Apple causes nothing but hardware issues with their "phones," and the only complaints I hear about people who switch to Samsung are "this looks nothing like my iPhone." See everybody I know who bumloves Samsung (Including the Mrs) always has their phone in the repair shop every 3 weeks because it's gone tits up, cracked screens or it's just gone bang. Seriously, those things break at the first sign of a stiff breeze or a violence sneeze. My iPhone has taken an absolute ass kicking in the time I've had it and it's never been a problem for me. My only complaint with it is the same time old complaint regarding Apple hand held devices. Battery life, it's shocking. It lasts about 24 hours then needs juice. Besides that I like my iPhone. I'll probably get another one when my contract comes up for renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also occasionally use my iPhone for the odd App like The Breach, War Room, Warframe Alerts but that's not very often. It's a phone not a computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Brand loyalty really does come down to money invested. When I was in college all I heard was "the graphic design world swears by Apple. It's the greatest." But then I raised my hand and said, "yeah, but doesn't like... the entire rest of the world run on PC? You guys have a PC in the corner running this entire Design Lab right there!" Needless to say, I saved a lot of fellow students money because we all shared pirated software and just used the extra net ports around the lab. I was popular Well, that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I am a simple man. I have a phone. I have a Laptop. They are separate entities. I treat them as such. Its asking for trouble putting a laptop in a phone. The more things that could possibly go wrong, will undoubtedly do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I think the general rule of thumb is if you can remember the sound of a fax machine or dial up modem you really aren't that fussed about a mobile phone. If you're young enough to still believe the internet has always been a thing then chances are you're some sort of selfie whore who plasters crap all over the internet using your phone and will probably die should you and your phone be separated for more than 15 minutes. The Mrs goes fucking mental when I hide her phone. She claims she "needs" it rather than "REALLY wants it". Obviously she doesn't "need" it, she needs oxygen and food, she wants her phone. Still... it's funny watching her get all moody over something so ridiculous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 *adopts oldster pose* When I were a lad, t'internet din't exist.
