Default Re: iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards

My original plan was to wait for the iPhone 4.0 to come out and then replace my current phone, but now I am in a situation as I can't sync the phone as like most really need the phone to its fullest capacity. I don't want to spend $200 for 3 months, in order to spend it again on an iPhone 4.0.

On top of it all, I think AT&T is just too expensive.

After my exprience over the last couple of weeks, the iPhone has lefta bad note with me. The only thing that could win me over is if AT&T gives me a free iPhone once I say I am leaving, but that'll never happen.

How easy is to port your telephone number from one carrier to the next?

Quick and painless when i switched from ATT to Verizon years ago. I wouldn't see it getting more difficult so should be a breeze, they did it automatically for me @ Verizon when i switched

As long as you are out of contract, easy.
I was told that I could port my number while still in contract (just keep paying the remainder of my contract) when I left Sprint, but found out that was untrue. I fought with Sprint as they cancelled my contract and tried to charge me for breaking my contract, even though it was their own reps that said I could do it.

But come on, I'm not saying the Android market is crap, but there is no way you can honestly say its on par with apple. Not only in its number of apps, but how you can search, update, etc
I'm not sure what you mean? I can search for apps and update the current apps I have. I don't know about numbers but I cannot honestly say that having more apps means they are better.

The only thing you have to know is not to cancel your current plan. Let your new provider do the number porting first.

I never said more is better. But with more comes better quality, more variety, etc.

And you don't have a format like itunes (not just on the device) that is anywhere near as good for searching and reviewing/previewing.

And what about an "update all" button? really bugs me the droid doesn't have that

Doesn't the Droid have a notification of your apps most recent updates?

Which is another reason why I don't have an Iphone. I don't like being told what carrier I have to use.

I was following the live blog of the keynote post by post LOL

However, none of it makes a damn bit of difference until it actually shows up on Verizon

Silly me.
And true on the Verizon piece.
I think I will laugh silly the day Verizon does get it as they will be making lines around the block, to wait for the next shipment no less.

I watched the ipad rollout live, but got in late for the iphone OS meeting. I didn't know about it till you posted about it.
I still caught the last 10 or 20 minutes live.
