You can opt out of the cloud. I know with my iphone I switched the backup to cloud off. I backed up to my PC only. The great thing about my SIII is it told me it could see an iphone backup on my laptop and would I like to transfer my contacts, video's, pics etc. I only chose contacts, but man was that easier than typing them all in again lol.

FF member A: Owns a iPhone and posts all other smartphones are crap.
FF member B: Owns a Android based smartphone and posts that iPhones are crap (and Apple is the devil incarnate). FF member C: Wants a Windows 8 mobile and thinks all other phones are crap (while hoping the BSD still isn't a standard feature). FF member D: Owns neither, and posts that a mobile should only be about making calls and thinks all smartphones are crap. FF member E: Doesn't care either way, but while reading this thread imagines replacing the word "iPhone" with "Ford" and the words "Andriod, Samsung, etc" with Holden and gets a good laugh.

Phones have become very clever marketing tools to other items. Your phone will determine How you purchase music / movies - iTunes / Zune / Android How you store music / media - cloud / stream / subscription / Skydrive etc How you share music / media in your home - Apple TV / Win Media Player / etc How you use media in your car - Bluetooth stream full / partial How you work - Office integration / Non office integration from the OS etc. Full MS suite or various equivalents. How you communicate - iMessage / Skype / a million other apps Which Telco you spend with - network types / network coverage / bundling with your other telco products. How you live. - Do you want NFC in the next 12 months or not? So no, it isnt just a phone. And Apple Microsoft and Samsung know this very very well. If it wasnt for my wifes love of the iPhone, the chances of an iMac ever entering our house would have been nill. Until that point we were full MS with MS media servers and players. However we now have an iMac, iPad and Apple TV even though neither is technically best in class. However they integrate well and do a good job. The hidden effect though is just how much it changes your technical world and as per the list above, effects how you do many many things and what you spend your $ on. Sorry for the long answer to a short question but I think its the aspect that is often overlooked when talking about phone choice.

Both tasty and do the same thing different ways. ;) A general question I have though. From a normal day to day use, what does one have over the other. My staff have both, and initial set-up issues aside (S2's), They are much of a much-ness. Both make calls, both receive work e-mails, calanders, tasks, etc., both have the similar if the not the same apps used, both play music, video, take photos/video and both run Angry Birds. I get that some like differnt things, but seems to me to be a lot of **** and wind about nothing. Personally I prefer the iPhone for it's simplicity of general use. Others here prefer the S2, both give the same result. PS: Also the irony of those saying iPhone buyers are sheep is dripping of those comment, when you look at the amount of buyers of andriod based phones.

I use my (personal) phone quite extensively as anything but a phone most of the time. I can plug my Android into just about anything to pull or push files to just about anything else. I'm not artificially limited by the manufacturer as to what I can or cannot do with the handset. With the phone configured the way I like, it's easier to navigate and do what I want than an iPhone. From my home screen I can see my appointments and one press will give me directions from where I stand - handy when I'm stopped in traffic. If I want to hotspot my phone, one press instead of navigating through multiple screens. It's both wider and taller than an iPhone so zooming is and will still be better than the iPhone. Compare it to my iPad, trying to get media onto it without iTunes is a royal PITA. Was recently overseas and wanted to update the viewing library for my 30 hour trip back to Oz. Funnily enough, I was able to do it using my Android phone. Hooked the phone up to an external hard drive, hotspotted it and pushed it out to the iPad. Would have been easier if Apple just allowed you to plug in an external device but they closed that gap in iOS5. |

Well I sell pc's and phones, repair them, set up networks and install software etc, general tech stuff. From experience I can say apple tech ain't great, very hard to work with and you pay more for less. I try to not be biased, keep an open mind, but it's hard.
They do make a good mp3 player tho, ipod classics and ipod touches. Had both for a few years and pretty sure they will out live me. |

I don't agree with you! We have two main issues with apple products, their accounts department sucks, and they are slow to put apps though the app store, both we have found work arounds for. Now, where do I start on all the other platforms we manage. At the end of they day they are all consumer devices, be it Apple, android (in its many varied formats and hardware platforms) or windows, and they all suck in several ways, but excell in others. It's exactly the same debate as to who makes the best cars, home theatres, TVs, the list goes on. There is something else these devices ALL do well, create some great debates that keeps people entertained for hours.

Apple iPhone - All the Adjectives >
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BETSuT2RNLs I have an iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod as well as Windows based PCs and laptops. I use them all for each need that they offer. Successful marketers have given brands an emotional attachment. Which footy team do you follow....

I've had all iPhone handsets since the original and from memory haven't had issue with any of them. Someone knocked off my 4 after six months ownership which was a pita. I've pre-ordered a 5 after watching the launch on YouTube and its new features are IMO worth going apple again. I had samsung Siii to use for while and I think it's a better phone than the 4S in many ways but i found it difficult operate with one hand like the iPhone. Trying to tap out an SMS or email is a two handed operation for me. The 5 screen is slightly longer but width is similar to the 4 so im assuming there will be little difference in operation.
Maybe I'm just a fanboy..... My biggest gripes with apple gear would be flash websites, having to do friggin software updates every three weeks (so it seems) and what they charge us for a song download in Oz is criminal compared to other countries.

Well after doing some investigation neither the iPhone 5 nor the Samsung S3 are blue tick so it does not matter what gollywog throbotronism either demonstrates they are both cityboy phones.

Hahaha this ad just show that crApple just got owned, yet again and again!!!
Samsung Slams Apple commercial!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJafiCKliA8&sns=fb Samsung Galaxy S3 is the number one selling smartphone on the market and the brand number one Technology development in communication in the world!!! Actually for those fan out there, CrApple stole all of it's ideas from others: Siri = Google Android. iPod = Diamond Multimedia. iPhone = Palm, Microsoft. Gestures = Minority Report movie, various PC laptops. iPad = Microsoft Apple = FAIL

I just don't get the apple/android debate. If you like one over the other thats fine, why do people need to shoot the other down just so they can claim to have the superior phone. You don't win a medal or a showbag for it so who cares?
