Elephant dung is selling like hot cake

Not sure the metaphors are really doing the job.

It's amusing that you have again referred to an Apple product as being a high powered sports car yet are sure you aren't a fanboi

[BerG]

The point was more that like Android, Toyota produces a large range of products, from high end to low end, targeting all price points and therefore a higher consumer base.

Like Lamborghini, Apple only produce a high end model with a high price point.

Therefore saying that Toyota make superior cars because they sell more is completely stupid, like Swindle.

[Bell]

But Toyota makes nothing close to the power of a Lamborghini.

A better comparison might be between Rolls-Royce & Mercedes-Benz the first only makes luxury cars while the other makes a wider range including direct competitors to the first.

I will agree that Swindles point is a bit shit.

[swindle]

Fuck you both.

You are correct. That is a far more accurate comparison.

Good day sir.

That being said .... I am very keen to give the Galaxy a try, I have had an Iphone 4 for a year or so now, and have really enjoyed it. Was holding out for the 5, but doesn't seem like too much of an improvement (as far as for me goes) ... most of the apps i use etc all open instantly and such the processor speed not really an issue to me. And the size/weight/thickness thing, yea thats nice... but again not that big of a deal to me.

I think I will try the s3, and if I don't like it go back to a 4 (depending on iPhone 5 prices)


... not that anyone cares probably (just thought I should add something relevant after outing BerG as my love childs semenological father)

[BerG]

I care BigBoss, I care.

You sound like me when I was a young adolescent, just last year.

I too thought the 4S was not a good enough upgrade and embarked on a Galaxy S2 adventure.

What I discovered, I must not speak about around these parts. But let me just say, keep that iPhone 4 somewhere safe.

[swindle]

The S2 sucked the fat one.

Just say it.

[monpepe]

The S3 has good features. Its just so big!

pfft i have the galaxy note the S3 is tiny.

[Zenith]

Takes you back to Coke vs Pepsi, The S3 I5 battle works for both companies, people have to choose which one to buy, nevermind the rest of the completion and the lower spec phones.
seems like there are huge profit margins in these phones.

[Aloysius]

I don't understand the need to buy a new one.
I have an S2 and plan on taking it to the grave (ie waiting for it to become uneconomic to maintain).
Even if next years crop of phones dispense cocaine/soma and can turn into masturbators I wouldn't see the need to ditch my current phone.

Anyone here recently ditched theirs or planning on doing so this year?

[Retardobot]

I'd love to grab an SIII or iPhone 5. Fact of the matter is my pay cheque wont.

My $250 Huawei Ascend G300 is a poor man's SII and works wonders.

I call bullshit - you so would!

Yea they seem like massive profit margins. Yes they are nice and slick, but hard to justify the jump from $250 to $800. Especially for a phone. I mean i only use my phone to browse the web, use it as a phone and play the odd game/use a app.

[Bell]

I hear apple users are really happy about losing google maps.

[swindle]

lol

[Tiwaking!]

To be completely honest: That guitar app looks amazing.

[monpepe]

Out of interest (I own a 50 dollar pre-pay phone) what is the best NZ provider for smart phone plans? And whats the best plan for data etc?

I may get a phone in the new year. Not sure which one yet. Maybe the new HTC one.

[swindle]

2degrees.

$39 a month will get you 1GB of data, 2500 texts and 260 mins per month.
