It's a rubbish size/shape for one handed use, I preferred the iPhone3G
Why, yes, yes I do and it's a major improvement over my iPhone 3G, my Galaxy Nexus and it gives my Nexus 4 a good run for the money.
I liked the seamless way I could install the Apps I've been collecting since 2008, just by syncing them like I did with my iPhone 4.
So how's the Java program collection on your Galaxy Note, you know you can enable different sources ("free" pirated stuff) in the settings but watch out you open yourself up to trojans.
I still think that the iPhone5 is better built, has a better camera, better flash, much better speaker and I could sync Numbers spreadsheets which I can't do with the Note2.
Why not?
Samsung has supplied Polaris Office with their Android handsets for quite some time, cutting off developers from being required to provide a solution.
Regarding your Numbers spreadsheets "You're saving them wrong".
It stretches and bends the truth like Stretch Armstrong, but on the whole rings true. I think he definitely dropped the ball when he gets all defensive about Kool Aid. Nobody ever suggested Steve or Apple were mass murderers. But Steve was a charismatic leader who ran a company with a cult-like following. That's undeniable. Everyone knows this. It's not a cult in the strictest sense, but Apple does have a cult-like mentality. Most great companies do.
So where did the "Koolaid" references which have been bandied about about Apple fans for the last couple of decades come from?
I didn't "buy into the hype" with regards to Apple Maps faults. It is a very good package but it WASN'T RIGHT when it was launched and Apple themselves have openly said this. The ENTIRE town where my wife was born was completely missing from maps!! I didn't even say that the Android alternative was better, I haven't even used the android alternative I simply stated it wasn't right, we come to expect Apple kit to be right from the start.
So tell us why Apple maps was such a disappointment with finding your wife's birthplace, yet you state that you don't need GPS to find it at all so didn't even bother looking with your Android device?
Thank you for demonstrating yet another point of DED's opinion piece.
I always thought that Android was powered by pure BS, but Flawgic sounds good too!
Anybody who is butthurt over this article is not a fan of free speech, as the article clearly states that it's an editorial. I do realize that the quality of education in this country is on the decline, but editorial means that it is an opinion piece.
Though Android claims to be open, Android users are about as open as a North Korean work camp.
If you don't like the article, then go and take your 9 Macs and 7 iOS devices that you claim to own, and go sign up for Androidinsider, you won't be missed by me. Isn't it funny how many of the Android lovers and anti-Apple trolls all claim to own a bunch of Mac hardware, you'd almost think that they were standing there in Steve Job's garage back in 1977.
Android is garbage and has been since day one, get used to it.
I also just noticed that one of the most annoying Apple haters on this site is now banned. I think that they went by the name of DaSofter or something like that.
For those who saw the amazing graphic depicting T9 keyboard bar phones from Samsung prior to the release of the iPhone side by side with the Galaxy line of phones after, knowing instantly that Apple had been ripped off:
I have never owned an iPhone. I regularly repair them, as well as Android phones, PC's, Macs, and other gadgets for friends and family. I will agree that at time of its release, the original iPhone was the most technologically advanced phone on the market. That said, I never really could justify the premium if owning the best phone on the market and didn't feel that sacrifices in my life in other areas was necessary despite how infinitely cool owning an iPhone apparently made you. This time around I had a bit of extra cash and went for it.Bought the best phone on the market: the Galaxy Note II.
No-one stole anyone's design. Samsung phones have evolved, just as iPhones did. Android is not the devil. I don't have a problem with iPhones, I just don't want one. I have a problem, though, with people who assume that if I don't agree that iPhones are the best phone all of the time (because of the logo on the back or whatever) I must be an idiot fanboy.Please, please, just stop the senseless raving.
There, now that I've asked politely I'm sure you'll all just calm down. Also: don't delete this post like you did to my last one. Saying that I am not a robot makes it so.
Leave it to an Android fan to see make something that requires firm stomping on the crotch area in some depraved masochist fetish to be functional. I wonder if they wear stilettos when they use it. Is that in Eric Schmidt's house (or should I say Erica)?
So tell us why Apple maps was such a disappointment with finding your wife's birthplace, yet you state that you don't need GPS to find it at all so didn't even bother looking with your Android device?
Thank you for demonstrating yet another point of DED's opinion piece.
I am not going to go through all of your posts as you clearly haven't read mine properly, just read it again and read your post.. I never said it was a disappointment, I said it was a very good package !! AND I didn't say that I don't need GPS to find it at all so didn't even bother looking with my android device. I have only had the note2 for a week and in that week I have not needed to use sat nav to go anywhere so have not used the maps equivalent other than a quick look at it as I went to work on one occasion..... It wasn't completely right was it? Apple wouldn't have apologised if it was a faultless piece of programming.... My wife's town of birth missing, that isn't actually an issue to me as I know where it is it is just an example of the issues.... Personally it didn't cause me any serious problems.
I have been using IOS on an iPhone since the week they came out in the UK till a week ago and never bothered to even look at what android was doing. My only experience of android in all that time was my son getting a galaxy 1 or 2 (I can't even remember) and complaining about it constantly, then it breaking and he now has an iPhone 4G. So I'm hardly just following the android line as I don't even know what the android line is. I have gone from using an iPhone to picking an alternative and using that on trial with the option of returning it. If I hadn't liked it it would have gone back.
As for the spreadsheet issue it is not a case of saving it differently. It is spread over 40 pages with 3 tables per page and uses some complicated addressing based on lookups across multiple tables. The spreadsheet was translated over the space of a week or two from Excel and I've tried moving it but it isn't having any of it as most of the addressing breaks down. It is most important that it works on the laptop and desktop so I'll just loose the functionality of it for now..... Hopefully there will be a larger format iPhone6/7 that I can switch back to later

No, I thought it was garbage and I chose not to waste my time reading the rest.

Any particular reason that you're spending your Saturday afternoon (assuming you live in the Americas) on an Apple website? Don't have a life?

Will you kindly demonstrate this "truth and integrity" by sharing what proof you have that there are paid troll here?
