Switching from Android to iPhone 4? Here's what you need to know
How to make the switch from Android to iPhone 4
iPhone 4 with its 960x640 retina display, easy-peasy FaceTime video calling, high quality 5 megapixel, back-illuminated camera that shoots 720p 30fps video, and the silky smoothness of iOS 4 convincing you to switch from Google's Android to Apple's newest handset? Worried about moving over your personal data like contacts, finding apps, getting used to the differences? Wondering where to get help?
Relax. You're in the the right place. Follow along after the break for everything you need to know (more properly, everything the TiPb iPhone Forums have taught us) about switching from Android to iPhone 4 and iOS 4.
(And yes, we've done webOS, Windows PhoneBlackBerry switcher guides as well).
Android to iPhone - or there and back again
Maybe you used to have an iPhone but after several months the luster wore off and Google's relentless march of new devices -- Droid, Nexus One, Incredible, Evo 4G, Droid 2, Droid x... stop us any time! -- got you itching to try life on the Android side, and now you're back? Maybe the previous lack of multitasking made you wait until now to try iPhone for the first time? It doesn't matter. The past is the past and this is about the future -- your future with iPhone 4 and iOS 4. This is about getting you from Android to 100mph on the iPhone as fast as possible.
Moving over contacts, calendars, and email
Here's the good news: if you're using Android chances are you're using Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts for your personal information, and those all work really well on the iPhone. You can set them up either as an Exchange account (which uses Google Sync's ActiveSync license) to push everything straight from the mothership to your iPhone.
Since iOS 4 can handle multiple ActiveSync accounts, that's the way we recommend you go. Just tap the Settings icon on the Home Screen, tap Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, choose Exchange, and enter your credentials. Google even has a help page [link] if you're not sure just what exactly to put where.
About the only things you'll miss -- and we miss them too -- is a more Gmail-like mail app. iPhone Mail is a great IMAP client but Gmail does things their own way, with threads and labels and stars. You'll get threads, but the other two just aren't there.
If it bothers you enough, you can load up gmail.com right in the Safari web browser. Google makes the best web apps in the business and they work great in Safari (which shares the same WebKit root as Google's own Chrome). Once you've logged in to Gmail, Safari will ask you to cache a few megs of mail on your iPhone -- HTML5 and SQLite power! -- and then you're good to go.
On the off chance you don't like ActiveSync you can hit the handy Gmail button instead in Mail Settings and go the IMAP route. If you don't even use Gmail, you can setup MobileMe (Apple's expensive push service), Exchange, or pretty much any POP3 or IMAP service you have via the Other button.
What to do about Google Voice and Google Navigation
YouTube, Google-powered Maps, and Google search are built right into the iPhone. Enjoy. Google Voice and Google Navigation... those are harder to replace.
If you're not in the US, you probably don't have to worry about Google Voice since it's not international yet, and Google Navigation is just starting to spread so you may not have to worry about that either. If you are in the US and are a big Google Voice and Google Navigation user, here's where things get sticky -- Apple hasn't allowed Google Voice into the App Store and Google hasn't made Google Navigation for the iPhone yet.
It's like when mom and dad fight and the kids suffer, right? There's a couple alternatives you can check out for each, though none are ideal -- and most aren't free.
For Google Voice you can use Google's own web app. It's pretty good, though obviously more limited than a native app would be. There are also 3rd party Google Voice web apps like Black Swan and rival services like Line2.
For Google Navigation, you have the previously mentioned, though much more limited Google Maps built in. It lacks turn by turn and voice directions but is free and useful in a pinch. There are a variety of cheap and/or crowd-sourced navigation apps as well. The cheap ones are a mixed bag. The crowd-sourced ones make us worry that Stephen Colbert's viewers will one day move the Empire State Building to the Cleve just for lulz (joking!), but they're worth checking out. Motion X GPS Drive is $0.99 right now, for example [iTunes]. If you prefer to navigate with the big boys, you can also find everything from TeleNav's online maps in AT&T and Rogers Navigator to NAVIGON's on-board maps in MobileNavigator, to TomTom which owns their own maps. They're all great -- but they come at a price.
And in iOS 4, navigation, VoIP, and -- yes -- streaming music Pandora or Slacker-style can all multitask away blissfully in the background.
Finding other apps (and games).
Sure Apple doesn't allow endless keyboards, task killers, and pinup girls into the App Store, but there are 200,000 apps anyway and almost certainly any big ticket ones you've come to rely on in the Android Market are there, ready and waiting for download. There are also tons of games, from the casual farmers to full-on 3D shooters. TiPb reviews several a week and we've got a whole iPhone Apps and Games Forum ready to help you out as well.
Root meet Jailbreak
Forget the words root and ROM. Remember the words Jailbreak and Cydia. Okay, iPhone 4 probably won't be Jailbroken (root jail broken open to allow side-loading of unsigned apps -- if you don't know what that means, skip this section) on launch day but it probably will eventually, maybe even soon. If you're a diehard tweaker and customizer, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled to our Jailbreak coverage, and more importantly -- our Jailbreak Help Forum, and Jailbreak Apps, Games, and Themes Forum.
Say farewell to fracture
Seriously, you don't have to worry much if at all about versions and hardware compatibility any more. With very few exception, iPhone apps past, present, and future will just work on your iPhone 4. Sure the screen is bigger but it's exactly 4 times bigger at the same physical size so existing (pre-iOS 4) apps will look the same and new (post iOS 4) apps will, frankly, blow your eyeballs out the back of your head.
Apple is all about user experience and they're doing a lot of abstraction behind the scenes to make sure things look great in front of them. Enjoy.
Say hello to iTunes
A mixed blessing if ever there was one, iTunes runs okay on Mac, kludgy on Windows, but is the local sync client required to activate your iPhone 4 and to transfer large media and document files from your computer to your phone.
You can do a lot of things OTA (over the air), including syncing all your personal data via ActiveSync (including Google Sync) or MobileMe, download apps, and buy or rent iTunes music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, etc. (20MB or under over 3G, any size over Wi-Fi). You can find apps that let you access your Google Docs, DropBox, Box.net, and other online storage. You can even convert and stream content on the fly with apps like AirSharing [iTunes]. But at some point, be it to install a software update like iOS 4.1 (probably due this fall) or backup your data, you're going to need to plug in to iTunes. So 2007, we know. If it's any consolation, Apple should release iTunes.com at some point...
Say WTH to interruptive notifications and lack of widgets
For all the huge usability advantages iOS 4 has over Android 2.2 -- and make no mistake they really are huge -- notifications and widgets are sorely lacking.
You get one notification popup at a time that you have to view or close before you can resume what you were doing (or about to do) and once you close it -- or another notification pops up on top of it -- it's gone forever.
Likewise, aside from the orientation lock and music controls in the fast app switcher UI, there's not widgets. None for the lock screen, none for the home screen.
Hopefully Apple will fix these omissions in a future update. (Because we know Google's planning on fixing the usability.)

Switching from my EVO to the iphone4? Aaaaaaahhh. NO THANKS.
no, youd switch from EVO to the iPad. Since they are closer in size
LOL, Same here. The iphone is a good phone too but I can't stand ATT pricing.
@Farbod_21 good one lol
Who needs an ipad when you have an EVO?
What is it whith all u ppl with your evo's. It's the new android fad this month next month it will be droid 2 and then evo 2 and so on....your big brick sucks why are you even reading an iPhone website Jack ass go back to your cave!!!
@Evosucks - Yer Funny! Take a moment to take the retainer out of your mouth and clean the spit off your keyboard. I used to have a 3GS numb nuts! And frankly, getting a rile out of the likes of you, is what I live for, so keep it coming!
I went from BB to Android (Hero) and am going to move to the iphone 4. My brother just bought the new Evo and has not stopped waving it around like a addict, it rivals the sony mini computers in size and who wants that up next to their ear? Android was great at first, but due to Google allowing the mass flood of Android phones, you have the best technology for say 2-5 months before the new best android phone comes out. The widgets and such will be missed, but the superior technology Apple brings to the table is worth the sacrifice.
EXCELLENT write up Renee
Pathetic...how hard is it to not comment on something you are no longer using or have interest in. Many people come here for info and to learn, not to have their time wasted filtering thru mindless postings about android being better or worse than iOS4. Don't like Apple, don't use it or the site, kinda simple.
And it always comes to this. Don't you all think its a little childish to continue bashing phones. I mean don't you have jobs, families, hobbies, or friends that could better use the energy you all spend going back and forth about which phone is better? Have at it, I'm going back to tuning my guitar.
Any walkthrough for switching from iPhone to Android? That's much more useful. Can't stand iTunes. My 3GS will soon become an iPod touch...
I really really want to make the switch, but its ATT that is holding me back. I guess ill just keep praying that the iphone will make its way to tmo.
I just upgraded my os on my 3gs and im very upset I still can't change my email tone and customize my text message sound... Sooo lame. My 8 year old nokia could customize the text tone. I work in an office where 7 people have iPhones.. And everytime we here that damn email sound, we all pull out our iPhones to see who has mail.. Same thing for the text message the 5 different sounds SUCK! And on any given day someone else in th office has the same frigin text message
Another thing. I have had custom wallpapers since the first color cell phone screen back in 1999. Just now apple gives us wallpapers? Its 2010 and long overdue!!! Come on apple! Give us the bare essentials!!! Like custom tones for text and email! How about using and saving any mp3 or wav attachment as a ringtone or text tone. All my friends with android can do it! WTF!!!
Pete,
I hear you. Really I do. I have to give you some advice though you won't like it, I'm sure. Wallpaper is on OS 4.0 if you didn't know. If you really want text tones and other cool features that other phones have, please consider jailbreaking your iPhone. It's a whole new beautiful world that is open to your iPhone that you never thought was possible. I can't wait to jailbreak my iPhone 4!
Excellent write up sir. I left my iPhone and went to the evo, and yes how I do love the size ( that's what she said lol). The size isn't that big to me though I'm a tall call and small touch phones are not the greatest. Love my evo 4G
I've seen jailbroken phones. But I have also heard the stories of being banned from the app store or phone dying randomly. I use my phone for work and I don't think management would like the fact that I violated many laws by hacking apple products. I also need my phone to work everyday without worrying about getting error message with the sad face. We shouldn't have to hack it.
Very good article. I'm sure a lot people will find it useful.
Other things to remember when moving from Android to iPhone:
If you want choices for your voice and data plans, forget it. Apple says you will use AT&T.
Found a cool app but it isn't on the App Store? Jailbreak your phone and risk various problems or learn to accept what Apple says you can have.
You really need Swype to make text and email lightening fast. Apple says no. Get used to it.
Want to develope your own applications for the iPhone, but don't have or want a Mac? Apple says no. Get used to it.
As long as you can get comfortable abiding by Apple's rules for how you will interact with their phone, you should have no problems. Note I couldn't call it your phone.
Get used to it.
And from a person that has been using PDA's and smartphone's since 2000, the iPhone is a pleasure to use.
Get used to it.
I heard tha SJ was to blame for the Gulf Oill spill. Seriously though, just bougt my first Apple product, ipad. Just waiting for itunes to download now. WTF? Neither my wife's Andriod nor my children's Palms required this crap. IPhone 4? Not worth going to AT&T, especially with their latest headlines.
TiPB is the only site of the smartphone expert sites I visit that bashes the competition on the norm, yet Rene wonders why the Android users terrorize his site.
What's with the childish comments about "the phone you had 6 years ago did this and that"!!???? If that phone was so great keep using it. Your phone from 6 years ago don't do an 1/8 or what phones do now. Also the bashing of AT&T is amazing like every other carrier is a perfect god send. And has zero problems what so ever. Please I had them all and they all suck in there own way.
No Flash support???? Need I say more?? I don't ever see myself using an iPhone, iPad, etc.
Anyone remember Betamax and VHS, Beta may have been a better quality picture, but when you try to run the show and are difficult to get along with, the crowd will go the other direction!!
EVO 4G user!!
God you Apple worshipers are so threatened by Android!
What I would like to know is can you download OTA files like albums, songs or docs and immediately view them like you would on an Android phone? I have DL'd 175 MB movie before on my phone....can the iPhone do this? (Serious question)
Apple must see there demise coming. This phone is wack!!!!! Android for life. Most people hop on board with the iphoney cause other people have one. do your research and pick the rite one for u. as for me i love android.
I think I'm one of the rare people who was not completely impressed by the EVO. A little background on me- I test phones. A lot. I've owned most every bleeding edge technology phone in recent years (Palm Pre, Blackberry 8130,8330 Bold 9000 and 9700, iPhone, iPhone 3g, EVO) and that's just the past 2-3 years. I know I'm leaving some out too
. IMO, Android has made great strides to produce a quality product in a very short amount of time. I remember seeing the G1 when it first came out thinking "there is no way I'm using that crap" but lo and behold, I found myself toying around with the OS. Has strengths (widgets, notification bar, google integration) and weaknesses (handling of corporate Exchange servers, battery life, ease of use) but these are all opinions that some people find to be more important than others. I'm going back to iPhone because it can handle the 50 emails I receive a day at work and not die in 5 hours (the reason I took the EVO back) and the fact that I don't have to carry around 2 devices. They both are awesome phones when paired with a user who will maximize what each was designed for.
Damn that was long. I'll say it before you do.
Noooo way, G1 rocks...
Again why are android users on tipb? I'm gonna start going on android central and start trolling. O wait I have a life. Get one losers.
Your name is macboy... You're just as bad
Well clearly 600.000 pre orders in first two days shows which one sells more and I guess at the same time which one is better. Indeed iPhone is missing some features but that's the reason we have jailbreak. Every since I owned an iPhone it has been jailbroken maybe once or twice it gave me trouble...
Im an iphne user, original, 3g, and 3gs. Trying to deside whats next, iphone4, evo , or possibly droid x. Its very tough trying to deside and hear coments, always one bashing the other. I hate fanboys of all kinds
To all the EVO people........ if you love your EVO's so much then why oh why are you on an iphone blog site trying to see what your EVO is lacking.... Like Battery Life. oh yeah and as for your 4G phone, buddy has one, can barely get 4G, usually on 3g 95% on the time, therefore he's returning it where the phone should be.... in a box!!!!! Just face it your just pissed you switched carriers a little to early and now wish you could break contract to come back to the all mighty apple!!!!!!!!! ahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahha
As long as there is a jailbreak iPhone forever!
I find it completely hilarious how you iSheep get so angry when someone talks bad about your little Gizmo.. Relax.. take it easy.. it's not your fault that the day your new iPhone4 comes out, it will already be obsolete b/c of all the better Android phones out there..
...it's ok. shhhhh.. shhhhh.. just go to sleep iSheep.
while i wouldn't necessarily switch from android i'd definitely switch from this p.o.s eris to something else right now including an iphone on crap-t&t. the 2.1 update all but crippled this phone. ugh. from poor battery life to very sluggish performance, it makes me really want my blackberry on tmoible back.
lol Its ok Andy, while i'm enjoying my new phone constructed of glass and stainless steel, u can sit there on your already obsolete device made of plastic and ummmmmm oh yeah plastic!!!!!! We aren't angry, we actually find it funny you guys come on tipb and want to see all the new technology that your phone wont have for awhile..... go back to your android forum!!! LOL ( you must really like sheep!!! Weird..)
Reto,
You have an Eris...you can't compare that phone to the EVO, Incredible, etc. That is like saying my Apple iPhone v1 isn’t very good compared to the iPhone v4. Stop being cheap and buy a new Android phone…like the Incredible…because I love my phone.
Isnt there screen sensitivity issues with the incredible n evo, and also arent the evo screens defective and peel off???
I was hoping that I'd replace my Nexus One with the iPhone 4 I'd pre-ordered, but it sounds like I've just bought an extremely expensive test device instead. Might even cancel the order.
Danny, I have the incredible and I can tell you have not had any screen sensitivity issues with my phone. I use the car-dock so there are plenty of times where I am not holding my phone and am able to navigate through various options without any issues. I have read of this issue but have not personally seen it. Android is #1.
Good to know dorito , thanks for the info
IPhone sales say everything.......all the android phone sales don't even come close to the last two iPhones, do your research android kidos!!!! Sales say it all..... It's just math!!!!
I love the above comment by Andy
iSheep
Reading fanboiz also fun.
brindy maybe if you are lucky you were one of these people. http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-brief/50293-apple-cancels-some-successful-iphone-4-pre-orders have a great day
J.G., I would like to thank you for pointing out the inadequacies of my technology.. so let's see if we can do a little summary here of what my phone "won't have for a while".. 1.EVO has a more powerful camera on the front and the back. 2.EVO has the ability to use network and WiFi for video calls, the iPhone can only use WiFi. (have fun on the couch) 3.EVO and Android have had multitasking for ages now. Welcome. 4.EVO has a memory slot whereby I'm able to upgrade my memory as I see fit, the iPhone is static. Good luck with that. 5.EVO gives you the ability to customize your phone to conform to your needs, the iPhone likes you to conform to it. (Steve says jump and the iSheep jump...)
...do i really need to keep going here buddy?? like i said, don't get mad at me b/c your product is inferior... it's ok.
dorito,
stop being stingy and loan me the money so i can apparently be cool like you.
Reto, my bad where are my manners…please send me your full name, address and mothers maiden name and I will cut you a check for $199.00. Thanks.
Andy Still can't figure out why your on here, you probably have the apple site under ur favorites to see what u wish u could have, good luck with your peeling screen..... That should help with that awesome plastic phone of yours. Maybe one day htc cand design a newsworthy phone that doesn't have a freezing os hd2 or peeling screens evo 4g only in some areas. Come back and play with the sheep anytime you want, just don't attempt to sleep with any sheep. Thanks in advance
dorito,
would you like my SSN and DOB to make it easier
it's all good...
"To all the EVO people…….. if you love your EVO’s so much then why oh why are you on an iphone blog site trying to see what your EVO is lacking…. Like Battery Life. oh yeah and as for your 4G phone, buddy has one, can barely get 4G, usually on 3g 95% on the time"
JG, wouldn't it be nice if the iphone was on 3G 5% of the time? 95% sounds pretty god to me. Iphone is nice, as are all the new Android phones. I think both serve different user types, having their pros and cons. ATT criples the iphone and is the sole reason I will not own an iphone.
Andy/J.G. You are absolutely correct with all of your comments. It is like the iSheep are mad because their phone is now in second place. Jobs is now copying Android. However J.G. is correct. The iPhone will have glass. J.G. please let me know the first time you drop your phone on the concrete. Let me know how that works out for you. J.G. can you also tell me how I can view and transfer my data to my iPhone without iTunes? What if my friend doesn’t have iTunes but I want to give them an mp3? What do I do? With my Incredible I simply plug it to any computer and I have full access to my hard-drive/memory card. How J.G. do I get my files off of my iPhone without iTunes? How?
J.G. this link is for you (you’ll have to scroll to the bottom)…here you will see a comparison chart of the first iPhone vs. the Nokia E70. Shocking I know…but I am interested to know your thoughts and feelings about this comparison. Because surely you were an iSheep lover from day one. http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone
Zack AT&T does suck but AT&T handles more data transfer than all their competitors combined, any carrier that would have taken on the iPhone would have had problems.... The only real solution to this is for apple to make the iPhone open to more carriers. And as far as your 3G comment, my iPhone is on 3G all the time, where you live might be another story.
@Andy that's funny you say that when the iphone4 comes out it will be obsolete. When theres a new and better android phone out every 3 weeks. Now what's obsolete again? I wish you people would think before you yap.
I'll just stay with the EVO
Dear dorito chip,
Lol, just got done reading your outdated site...... Try getting some up to date site and send it to me dip chip!!!!! And for dropping the phone???? I have plenty of times with my 3GS and no problems, as for your precious htc..... Screen is already falling apart sitting on the couch... Hope your not using it to post on here, would hate for you finger to go through that cheap screen of yours. And before jumping into a convo do some research dippy instead of posting 1st gen info ..... Baaaaa baba baaaaa
You are an exception to being on 3G then because everyone knows about ATTs horrible service and there is no debating it. I travel a lot, and have Verizon and rarely have any issues with signal or 3g service. My coworkers, who have the iphone, always have issues getting signal or 3g service and enjoy their shiny paperweight. Android and Iphone come down to personal preference, and whatever one works for you best you should go with. I'm glad you can use the iphone to it's full potential on 3G, but for most that it not the case.
J.G. so you are saying the first iPhone was a flop and sucked? Becuase it appears that Nokia was 100 time better. I just want to make sure I am hearing you correctly. The first iPhone sucked? Correct? FYI- Windows Smartphones could multitask since 1999. Thanks.
Mac, the EVO/Incredible are better phones and they came out before the iPhone. Thanks, take care.
JG, how come you didn't have an answer to any of my 5 points? Good luck.
Zack I agree like i said AT&T does suck, my 3G signal is there all the time, now have I had dropped calls? Sure have but like u said it's preference.
Zack, First of all 4G is new…so of course it isn’t everywhere yet. Technology can’t change that quickly. However the EVO can run on 4G and the iPhone can’t. Also you are absolutely 100% correct. The battery life in the EVO and Incredible is poor. I don’t think one person was disagree. However there are several options one can do with their Android phone. They could buy an extra battery or buy an extended battery (as I did). I would love to see you try to switch out the battery on your iPhone. Oh wait…you can’t. Because your commander and chief Steve says you’ll need to send your phone to Apple to change for an $80 fee. Wow, $80? Really I can buy two stock batteries for that price.
Andy Don't need to, there will always be apple bashers, and that's ok, it's the bashers like yourself that spend most your night on iPhone blog sites, only deep inside you really wish you where one of the 600,00 thousand people to get their iPhone on thursday!!!! Goodnight sheep boy
Dear Apple/Steve Job lovers: Please tell me what makes the new Apple iPhone better than the Evo? 1. Battery life 2. You have more apps because iPhone has been around longer… what else?
Thanks
JG, I'm sorry, they were just simple points.. didn't mean to go over the top on you.. i hope you have a good night as well.. have fun with your 600,000 iSheep on Thursday.
J.G. please enjoy this website from your new iPhone on Thursday. http://www.shockwave.com/home.jsp Oh wait...that is all flash...you can't! Aww maybe next year? Sorry.
Lol don't be jelly !!!!!!
Dorito- Are you too busy sheep hating to realize that I said I don't own an iphone and will not as long as it's on ATT. Also, I never spoke of battery life. The EVO may have 4G, but you have to pay $10 extra and only can get it in some cities. If you aren't near the 4G coverage, well thank you for your $10. Yes, 4G is new, but I would rather be on 3g 95% of the time then the 5% of 3G the iphone gets. You should get a life and stop wasting you time hating on something like the iphone. If you have a EVO and that works best for you, great. I have the Droid. Retard.
JG, i love peanut butter and jelly!
Oh nooooooo the android donkeys are fighting, if I wanted donkey show I would go to Mexico !
Zack, enjoy paying for your new AT&T data plan. I will enjoy unlimited data. Thanks.
it's peanut butter jelly time!!!!!!
Like..
J.G. Dear Apple/Steve Job lovers: Please tell me what makes the new Apple iPhone better than the Evo? 1. Battery life 2. You have more apps because iPhone has been around longer… what else?
I'm stuck in the Backing Up phase.
Dorito chip & dip I will still have unlimited, like I said do your research nacho cheese!!
Dorito where's your backup??? Ritz??? Pringle????
Josel, you better back your a$$ up to page one son! You have missed a lot but welcome! I would love for you to tell me WHY Apple is better than the EVO? Thanks.
hey Dorito chip dip nacho cheese ranch sauce... hi.
Thank Apple for the revolutionary mobile run, but step aside for the Google domination. Google is being backed by every mobile, television, automobile and computer manufacture in the world. Apple can't do it alone. 1980's Microsoft vs Apple? Apple lost. 2011 Google vs Apple? Apple will lose. Sorry rotten Apple friends. Come join the Google world. Google TV and Google Music is coming this Fall.
Josel, i'm sorry.
Hello Andy J.G. i would love for you to answer my questions Zack - your my boy Josel - keep going back! STAT!
That's what I'm talking about Barry...Google rocks! iPhone still can't use flash...is this the 1980s?
The widgets are the top reason why I am likely to switch from iPhone to Android when my contract expires.
First: Thank you Apple... Second: I like the mad knowledge you just dropped here Barry!
Evo 4g sales 1st two days = 67,000
iPhone 4 PRE SALES = 600,000
I rest my case donkey boys!!!!
Robert, I can tell you that the Widgets are the best on the HTC! Once you swtich be sure to buy an HTC phone with sense! You will love it! Step aside Apple...Google is moving on up.
It's really sad that you donkeys are on here worrying about what us isheeeeeeep are saaaaaaaaying!!!!!
J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G.J.G. please answer below b/c i really need to know. Thanks. Dear Apple/Steve Job lovers: Please tell me what makes the new Apple iPhone better than the Evo? 1. Battery life 2. You have more apps because iPhone has been around longer… what else?
Dorito .... The all mighty isheep heard has spoken ....... 600,000 PRE ORDERED ,,,,,,,
JG, not worried at all over here... but maybe you could answer Dorito's burning question before he explodes..
J.G. Thank you for answering my question. By your lack of answer you have answered that the Evo is better than the iPhone and the iPhone has simply copied the Evo. Apple 4 = 2nd place. Thanks for all the assistance with letting me know why your Apple is better than the Evo.
Dorito, you rock! You have represented the EVO and Android well. To think that when I placed the first post, I was expecting to get ibashed! I'm sure I'm not the only one who made the switch from a 3GS to the EVO.
One point I'd like to make. I've seen some comments saying that I'll jump from the EVO to the next big Android phone. Nope, I really won't. Why move to something else when what you have already has EVERYTHING! I can understand upgrading iphones because their fanbase has been fed bits and pieces and they're settling for it. EVO hit a homerun from the start. OH, and if you're wondering, I haven't had any "screen sensitivity issues" before you try pegging me on that.
Keep the torch burning Dorito. D to the O to the R to the......oh you get my point.
RobGom, welcome. this may be an iPhone website, but just like everything else, it's being overtaken by Android.
You're not alone RobGom! Gettin' my Evo soon after 2 iPhones have gone to rest!
J.G., Sales numbers look good. We never said that Apple didn't have a great marketing team. There are always suckers that fall for the marketing tactics. We all can't make the right(Google) decisions. Someone always buys a golden turd. Good luck. Don't sign a long term contract with Apple because you are going to miss out on the Google wave. Good Night all!
@dorito : actually android has been out for awhile starting with tmobile G1... What else could apple have done better??? Ummm retina display, ummm faster os, ummm dual mic, ummmm facetime, ummm is that enough for u. Drink cold water and go to sleep with ur android... stop reading an iPhone blog and get a life or go to android central!!!
