I love my iPhone. i had a Droid Eris and let me say, it was the worst phone ever. It always froze and had no battery life. The apps are also terrible and most of those are already on the app store. My iPhone is great and never dies and it is so fast aside from Verizon's slow 3G network.

Are you saying verizon is terrible? they have a pretty good 3g network and the best data plan available for the Iphone. Im afraid that their quality will go down since everyone wants one. Like At@t...
 
non-expensive? iphone data cables are ridiculously abundant, and extremely inexpensive. Apple has standardized the 30pin connector for all of their devices, and I use a cable from 2005 to charge my ipad. Thats a better standard than the change from mini->micro usb that happened in the past 2 years.
 
It's a phone. As long it can make phone calls, it has served it's purpose.
 
The android platform devices are excellent phones and a great phone for your needs. The devices that run on android always get the highest of reviews and are praised by critics and semi-apple fans alike. But apple is the best for many reasons. Apple releases a great phone every time a new one is released. Their updates help their devices and I thank them. Now that they are on Verizon we have seen an improvement in the Iphone that at&t once owned. The touch screen is the most advanced out of all of them. The main problem is that too many phones are being released with the android tech. A new model comes out every week and it gets annoying when you own a Droid2 and the Galaxy is released. Its not as bad as an Iphone being released every year.

Another problem i am seeing is terrible useless games coming out for the android. The main reason i switched platforms was because of the amount of pointless terribly programmed applications in the android market place. True that the android is new and we have to give it "Time" for good apps to come out. But without strict app management we will continue to see poorly developed games. I mean seriously, A game developer could develop a game where you press a big red button and 3 select sound will come out every time you press them and a damned ad will come on. and it took almost nothing for the developer to develop! as i said in a recent post about %50 of apples apps are usable, the other %50 percent are crap.

But android only has about %20 of usable apps. and the other %80 is terrible crud.

Android Does. Apple Does More
 
My opinion is that iOS is obviously way better for an average user. It does everything, and runs without any bugs, animations run smooth etc. But since I love free software (I use Ubuntu etc), I could easily make a choice (I do not have a smartphone...:))
And also, I hate apple because of the fact that they kinda try to sell basic features as some new feature. For example, just see how iPod turned into iPhone. First, it became an iTouch, and that had 2G, 3G etc. The "new" features were like built-in camera, which I think is not a hard thing to build in a phone/mp3 player/whatever. Then it became an iPhone, which also had (has) 2G, 3G, 4G, that have only "new" features that I bet apple could've built in the first type of iPhones. But I understand why they do it (if I were them I might do the same:)) but it's still a bad thing.

The iPhone was released before the iPod Touch. And an iPod didn't just "turn into" an iPhone/iPod Touch. They had to develop a completely new OS (iOS).

My wifes iPod Touch cable doesn't work with my iPhone 3Gs, my cable does work with her iPod though...
 
Nokia: for people with simple phones or those who are dumb enough to think they have a good OS for Smartphones
Windows phone: those without any knowledge about phones and are afraid of getting something non-microsoft
iPhone: those with a lot of money to spend and like to brag about how good and beautiful their phone is
Android: the smart people who actually try to get the most out of a smartphone without paying for every little thing

That's weird, because I've never had a problem using 1 cable for any of my iPods, iPhones, iPads, iTouches.
Me and my wife have them, and whenever we travel, we just bring 1 cable, to charge all of them.

Also, when we visit people, and want to charge more, we ask them for their chargers, since almost everyone has an iPod that we know, and they ALWAYS work.
Like when I visited my brother, I forgot my cable for my iPhone3GS, and I asked him for his iTouch cable, and it worked fine (just like your scenario.)

So, there must be something wrong with your wife's cable.
 
Yes, the iPhone has a Speck Toughskin case on it. You can fold the bottom portion of the case away for charging. Doesn't make a difference though; one cable works, the other doesn't. My phone doesn't charge or get recognized by my iMac or my VAIO when I attempt to use my wifes cable.
Sometimes she leaves her cable lying around and I grab it by mistake...in her case it doesn't matter which cable she uses, both work.
 
thats extremely odd. I live in a house with 3 generations of iPhone, an iPod Touch, iPad, and 5th iPod. I haven't had an issue with any cable not working with another. Apple's 30 pin connector is standardized, and hasn't changed (except form factor) since its inception. That is a very strange situation you have there.

I lost my first generation iPod Video cable and I use my iPhone's one. It works.

I prefer iOS over Android. The iOS has nailed a lot of small and little things that in the Google's OS become annoying after constant use. I envy the interface customization that iOS lacks though... I hate the fact that you need to jailbreak the phone to access its full potential.

Exactly. Because iOS is fully proprietary, you do have any control over the source code, apple has the only and final say. But since most of Android is free software, you can change the source code to fit your needs.
