I have no bias either way but Android in general seems to be every bit as stylish, has all the features and apps, etc.

No, it doesn't.

But it's nice and open and has lots of potential.

Well I suppose style is up to the individual.

As for apps, well as a normal everyday guy I don't see how having 90 thousand or 10 thousand apps is any differant when half of them all do the exact same thing. Out of the 11k appas available I'd probably only consider downloading like 1% of them.

Entirely up to the user I suppose.

Apple has 93,000 apps whereas the Android only has 11,300. I think most Android devices look pretty businesslike, whereas the iPhone is more casual.

More like 200,000+

iPhones are perfectly businesslike. They do all the sorts of things you want from a business phone. Bind easily to PBX, VPN, Directory Services. Easy for accessing email. Compatible with the sorts of office file formats you may need to open. What else would you need from them?

Lots of big IT firms are switching to iPhones as standard - like Logica.

I got my numbers from here. And I said the look, not the functionality.

I'm no tech expert so  I'll just ask.

My Milestone crashes sometimes, I'd say once a day on average, I think it's when I'm running a few apps.

Is it the phone or Android?

Btw had 2 milestones as dropped first in the toilet after a piss (still fished it out) and that crashed too.

It shouldn't crash... if you think it could be to do with the apps, have you tried keep opening apps to see if you can make it crash. That why you can be sure that's why it's crashing.

It shouldn't be that because Android has smart memory management; so if it runs out of memory it will automatically close apps.


Also, when you say crash what actually happens? Does something force close or does the phone become unresponsive?

who wants to video conference with me

You should have checked the date. That's old and outdated. Approaching 250k now.

I don't see how the look isn't businesslike.

my evo rapes iphone4's in the anus

how's the EVO?  I'm looking at getting one, but little worried about bad battery life.   Are you paying the extra $10/mo "premium" charge that sprint is forcing on anyone that has an evo?

This. And it has the best touch sensitivity compared to other touch phones.

Try the samsung H1, it is pretty cool.
