You got to give it to them, they defend their position and beliefs with fanatical vigor like the Taliban. They just bumrush your threads with reckless abandon.Wow.. the Android fanboys are posted up again!
The part I do not understand is why Android folks MUST ALWAYS attack anything Apple related. They see an Apple thread, which they do not have to click on, but they still do.
You guys have your Android ran devices that you guys love so much. Why give a flying fuck about iPhones and iOS?
I give a fuck about technology, but I'll be damned if I felt all fanatical about it like some folks on here.
If you love Apple/iOS/iPhones/iPad, good for you. If you love Android and their phones, good for you.
All this back and forth is stupid.

It goes both ways really.
I agree, but I don't do that. I'm a techie, who loves gadgets. Beyond that I do not go trying to bash Android shit, unless it is honestly crap.
The Android guys go out of their way to make sure they bash anything Apple, no matter what.
Not really. Please dig up a pro android thread and look at the rather neutral response of apple users in there and compare it to the suicidal nature of the android users in Iphone threads. There's a big difference.
isn't it funny how they come in iphone threads all concerned about how iphone users are wasting money but you don;t find them in the "sneakers" thread blowing themsleves up like they do in iphone threads.The part I do not understand is why Android folks MUST ALWAYS attack anything Apple related.

Dude get mad personal about android vs iOS and start insulting each other over it and it's not a good look. I mean youbhav website devoted to this, androidcentral just had a android meetup barbecue....
I think we all get pulled in but when we sit back and think about its just a damn phone, it's not really this damn serious.
Android folks are just mad, it's usually a group of guys who just hate apple and bash anyone who has one, I will admit ibdont care for macbooks but it's ain't that serious to bash someone over it, let them do them.
I wanted a iPhone for the simplicity but I don't idolize it.

Wow.. the Android fanboys are posted up again!
I have an android and I must admit the iPhone 4s is the best phone on the market right now. Siri is a BEAST.....
and you still a BITCH!!!
I'm an Android user. If the the real iPhone 5 had been coming out this year, I'd be all over it. At the end of the day, both Android and iOS phones do the same thing. It's a matter of preference. I do like the fact that there are those extra features that Android has that the iPhone doesn't (Widgets, endless customization and personalization, man size screen). What happened to widgets in iOS5? I know, eventually, I'll have an iPhone, just a matter of what iteration gives me everything I get in Android and more. I'm currently due for an upgrade and and about 80% sure my next smartphone will be an android device.
Android Users Still Don’t Get It
Cody, Oct 10, 2011
For years, skeptics have viewed Apple enthusiasts in a prejudice light. Dubbed “fan boys,” this herd of sheep would throw down money for any product bearing the fruit-shaped logo, and would defend the company to the death if necessary.
And it seems like the more successful Apple has gotten, the more vocal the cynics have become — especially in the mobile phone space. And I don’t think that there is any group louder than the Android users…
Android owners can be seen on countless iPhone sites across the web, trolling the comment threads and forums with their seemingly baseless discrimination. In fact, I have a few real-world friends that would qualify for that category.
Our debates about which platform is better get pretty intense. You’d think we were arguing about religion or politics. Nope, just mobile devices. That being said, you can imagine the conversation that ensued after Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S.
“Android has had dual-core processors and 8MP cameras for months,” and “my Android has a 4.2″ display, what does yours have again, a 3.5″? Awesome.” And that’s when I realized it, Android users just don’t get it.
The Pissing Contest
Comparing tech specs between an Android handset and an iPhone is pretty sketchy. Processors and megapixels don’t mean anything if they aren’t implemented properly. Take camera quality for example. When the iPhone 4 debuted last summer, there were multiple comparison tests run between its 5MP shooter and the Droid X’s (a popular Android phone at the time) 8MP. The iPhone’s images were found to be on par with, if not better than, the competition’s.
Then there’s screen size. Consider me among those that were disappointed that Apple didn’t add an extra half inch to the iPhone’s display this year. But among the many reasons that Apple chose to keep the screen size at 3.5″ was to protect its ecosystem. Android manufacturers can easily make handsets with various display sizes because the platform is already horrendously fragmented. Android developers are already working against dozens of different form factors and versions of the Android OS, so why not make screens bigger? iPhone developers, however, only have to worry about different iOS versions. Why do you think there’s such a big difference in app quality between the two platforms?
Just because a device’s spec list has bigger numbers in it, doesn’t mean it’s a better product. That’s like saying a 6-cylinder KIA is a better car than a 4-cylinder Audi, it just doesn’t make any sense. It’s all in the execution of the product as a whole. From build material to battery life, it’s all important.
Flash
A major feature that Android users like to tout is the ability to play Flash content, an option that Apple has continued to omit from its iOS platform for several reasons. For starters, there’s security. Do a Google Search of the term “Adobe Flash vulnerability” and see how many hits it returns. Don’t worry, I’ll wait. Apple avoids all of those problems you see there by simply keeping Flash out of iOS.
Now let’s talk performance. Have you ever tried using Flash on an Android handset? It’s pretty inconsistent. “Optimized” websites load up in seconds, “non-optimized” pages load very slowly, and some Flash-based websites don’t load at all (like Hulu). And the ones that do load are very limited. Outside of watching videos and simple site navigation, there’s not a lot you can do with Flash on a mobile phone. Have you tried playing a Flash-based game on a touchscreen handset? It’s nearly impossible. As Steve Jobs pointed out, Flash was created during the PC era, for PCs and mice.
So let’s say you overlook the security issues, and the performance problems, and the fact that cell phones tend to run an extra two hours when not using the technology, there’s still another reason not to include Flash. It’s not a necessity. We have third-party applications and HTML5, we don’t need Flash in our everyday lives. Some people might, for a college class website or for their job. I can see some people needing it. And for them, I’d recommend an Android handset. But there’s such a small number of people that require it on a day-to-day basis, that it’s not worth the extra headaches to include it.
It Just Works
Another major point Android owners like to bring up in device debates is the fact that their handsets have removable batteries. Ok. Why? And they’ll say “What do you do when your phone crashes and you need to do a quick reset?” Well I don’t ever have to worry about that, because my iPhone doesn’t crash.
I know what they’re talking about, I’ve owned plenty of Android handsets over the years. Every once in a while, the device would start to act up, and I’d have to pull the battery out to fix it. In fact, during my years as a wireless representative, our first step of troubleshooting Android devices was performing a “battery pull.” And you could see the frustration in the customer’s face, as if to say, “I paid hundreds of dollars for this device, I shouldn’t have to pull my battery once a week or once a day.” And you shouldn’t. This is where I think the iPhone really outshines the competition. Like most of Apple’s products, it just works.
Conclusion
Honestly, I like that there is competition in the mobile space. It’s a win-win for consumers. But if someone asks my opinion on the best smartphone available, I’ll give it to them. And unless that person visits a website frequently that requires Flash, I’d happily recommend the iPhone 4S. No, it doesn’t have a 10MP camera, but I bet its 8MP shooter will still be best in class. And no, it doesn’t have a quad-core processor, but I bet the A5 will never skip a beat. The new iPhone still won’t be Flash compatible, but in four years of owning an iPhone I’ve never missed it. And you likely won’t care that there’s not a removable battery, because you’ll never have a reason to remove it.
From the build quality to the battery life, you’ll be impressed with the iPhone 4S. And it’s all the stuff in between, the little stuff that doesn’t have numbers next to it, or begin with quad-core, that makes Apple’s handset so awesome.
And for some reason, Android users just don’t seem to get that.

This is a fanboy article, pure bullshit. Stopped reading when he said "android users".
I thought Republicans vs Democrats were bad.

In that case might as well not discuss sports,cars or anything else where somebody else may have a different opinion. Its just that...if you dont wanna see discussions, skip em.

Thats just the way it works on forums, people DISCUSS. People clicking the thread because of curiosity. If you dont care for the back forth..skip past or just read whatever articles posted.

Your personal battles on BGOL aside...GREAT PHONE!
People wanna hate and complain but Steve Jobs legacy has changed the
world and it will be @ least a decade b4 anything else comes close...and
even when something new tops it Apple will probably make it
Let the Divine/Apple hate begin....
You are speaking emotionally...How can you say it will be at least a decade?
It is all about choices for me, My wife purchased me a IPhone 3G when it first came out and I really enjoyed that phone. Once I jail broke the phone I liked it even more. A few years later she got me a Iphone 4 and her a iphone 3GS we both enjoyed the phones with not major complaints but they were jailbroken. Then my 14 year old son asks for a samsung captivate not an IPHONE..I was like WTF..WHY?? He said dad it's cool and different. I scooped him up one off craigslist and I jacked around with that phone for several days before I gave it to him. Once I got something different in my hands I quicly noticed I was not treating my phone like I treat any other purchase I make. Withen the next few weeks after I sold my wifes and my ipnone and picked her up a captivate and me the infuse. I love my bigger screen, and voice commands and above all I like having choices. I checked out the specs on the iphone 4S and there was not a reason for me to entertain a switch and since we are gmail users the google intergration is a added bonus. Choose what is best for you, but I personally like choices and healthy competation is good. No company should be allowed to get too big anyways, then THEY get to chose for us...
some German customers got their hands on their phones already

Discussing and debating, yes. But it is taken to a different level here sometimes, on both sides. It is more than just a different opinion when it comes to these Android/iPhone arguments.
It is just a phone. As stated if you like Android, cool...if you like iOS/iPhones, cool.
