Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

I used a BB for 5+ yrs and it certainly took a little getting used to, but the auto-spell correct is amazingly accurate so you won't find it that bad. I do miss the delete key (vs just the backspace) and the ability to easily to to the middle of a word to correct spelling and punctuation though. Unfortunately the auto-correct is almost too accurate as it doesn't force you to become more accurate in your touch strokes and that always catches me out in fields like usernames and passwords that done use the auto-correct feature.

4 replies and no real answer (sort of) ! I should have expected that from THIS thread:rolleyes:

I can use a touchscreen keyboard just fine, that doesn't mean you will. Why not go to an Apple Store and play around with one. Sorry I don't like to objectify a subjective questions :tu

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

To the first part, I am sure that is a Yes with just about everyone.
To the second part, Don't know.
I never had a regular keyboard like on a Blackberry.
Only thing I have ever known, other than a standard phone's keys is that of the iPhone.
I have gotten use to it much better after they enabled us to go horizontal also with the keyboard.
I personally type pretty fast with it.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

The self correction sucks once it learns an incorrect spelled word. The landscape mode makes typing quite easy, but on the original phone it's a little slow switching views.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

You may find that the Blackberry "dueling thumbs" method doesn't translate too well and switch to the "one-hand-hunt-and-peck".

I went from a physical keyboard (HTC Mogul) to an all touchscreen 3 phones ago and it did take some getting used to. There are good and bad software keyboards just like there are good and bad hardware keyboards. I think the iPhone's keyboard is exceptional (in my limited use - the wife has an iPod touch).

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

WOW! Look at what happens when you use an Iphone, I was able to answer your question before you even asked it!!!

Guess reading a thread to see what's up is becoming a lost art:rolleyes: (just so long as we're using sarcastic rolly eyes and what not, I wanted to join in:tu:r)

Just asking....

If the moderators can ban political discussions, why can't they ban Mac vs. PC threads?

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

Love my Blackberry!

Now that there is funny indeed.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

Because the 91% of the world that uses PCs doesn't care enough to post, while every one of those threads turn into an Apple Support Group therapy session. All the Apple users flock en masse to such threads to tell everyone else how special they are. It makes it seem like the market share numbers are reversed and Apple is winning with a 91-3 advantage. If these threads were banned, the fear is that too many Apple users would feel lonely and bored with their lack of applications.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

amen brother. Apple users definitely love to shout to the world how great it is and how superior they are. I always find it funny that my 3 year old winmo phone does things the iphone can't do because hitler locks down everything on there phone.

apple tells it's users what they need and the sheep eat it up. Bah bah flash is bad. LoL. I know cause my master told me. He said to buy some games and some apps. He loves my money and I love giving it to him.

My wife gave up hers recently as she got tired of spending over 100 a month for crappy phone service.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

Stereotypes are fun.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

:tpd: I'm one of the 91% that uses a PC and doesn't care about the PC/Apple argument.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

Perspectives are amusing at times.

You see blue.

I see green.

As result, I call it green.

As result to that result, you say things like I need to shout out to the world how great green is.

Can it not be my perspective of green regardless and not have to do with any urgency to shout out to the world anything? Can the same shoe be on the other foot relative to PC users? I could be wrong, but our perspective has been one of why we like our world better and not one of beating up on the other side for their view of their world. I don't need to sell anyone anything. An opinion is asked, and one is offered. Beauty is that with your money, buy all the PC's you want while I use my money to shop for my next Mac as I want the PRO next and will give mine to my wife or daughter.;)

I love my iPhone.
My son loves his iPhone.
My friends all love their iPhones.
We have no reception problems.
I pay $72 a month, with taxes and all.
Am I trying to shout anything to the world? Works for me. Why should I not state that if asked for an opinion?

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

No offense was intended. I am speaking more to the PC/Mac argument. Although I love my WinMo phone and the dozens of free apps I have on it. I can scan business cards directly into my Outlook contacts, listen to FM radio, take pics with my 5 megapixel camera, use Google Maps w/ builtin GPS, and tether my laptop to it (using my phone's data connection to give web access to my laptop) without a USB cable in sight (via WiFi). All of this is on my two year old Samsung Omnia WinMo 6.5 phone. I think the first 5 MP camera on an iPhone just came out.

Anyway, I'm not belittling anyone's opinion. We each have our own. I was just mixing some stats with sarcasm to poke fun at the other side. It's all in good fun.

Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards
 

Can't we all just agree that we have different opinions on this topic and realize that our experiences are entirely subjective?

Mac's Rock/PC's Rock/XXX rocks.....see.....easy :tu
