I'm in an abusive relationship
« on: December 29, 2011, 02:54:19 AM »
Hey... I'm not entirely sure where to go so I figured I'd come to my friends here.

I've been in a relationship for about 4 or so years now and I'm slowly starting to realize it's an abusive one...  Started off together and I was all excited, it was nice and new and exciting.  We went every where together, and well we still do but... anyways.  We had some issues but everyone does, nothings perfect right?  But lately I've been given promises of bigger and better things and then let down to know that these things will never happen or won't happen for months/years.

So anyways, I've recently been seeing others around... and I'm starting to see what a good relationship should be.  For instance, making promises of nice pretty things and following through with them.  I see people happy to be holding hands, talking, texting, and just happy with who they are with...  I'm considering cheating on my current relationship with a new but... I don't know if I should because I love them.  I really do love them, everything about them but these broken promises are really getting to me.

So I've been looking elsewhere... I'm seriously considering getting an Android and ditching my Blackberry for a bit.  See how things go... 

Help?

loller.

People are leaving RIM in masses... you won't regret it either.

I predict RIM will be out of business in a year or two.

Droid Bionic is great, and it's only $199 now (at least at big red).  I love the phone, but honestly you should go for the new Galaxy Nexus.  I know Anomaly can back me up on that one...being that he has it and is rubbing it in my face :(

I have the same phone.  Love it and hate it. 

1) Sprint signal sucks at work, but great everywhere else.
2) The charging pins bend extremely EASY which means either only 1 charge chord will work or you have to take it in to get a new phone.  Its a common problem but sprint will not recognize it.  Some Sprint shops will replace it for free some will charge you 100 deductible. 

Other than those 2 problems I love mine.  I love the sync to google calender and such, it comes in handy with work ALOT.

You should get an iPhone. I have had no problems with it. The only thing I can't do is tether. But since I'm either at the hospital or home (which both have wifi) I never need it.

besides the iPhone 4 is $99 now. :)

I personally have an iPhone 4, and like it, and I've seen good things with HTC's current line of phones (I forget the model, but one does glasses-less 3D, which is pretty cool [but can kill battery life if overused])

How much are the data plans these days?  I have trouble leaving sprint since its cheap and unlimited for me.  But with my signal problems I have at work I am debating swapping to verizon.

Verizon will cost you around 30 more per mo then sprint.

I have an HTC Inspire from AT&T.  I got it about a year ago and have been more than happy with it.  I have no desire to trade this phone in for anything on the market currently...which is the way it should be.  If I could only get out from the under the oppressive hand of the mighty AT&T, life would be perfect.

Ditched Bberry a while ago. They bothered me with a lot of stuff. I bitched about them completely ignoring the personal consumer while still in school, and look what happened... I was right. They focused pretty much only on corporate clients and "We're so secure" and neglected a massive emerging market of personal cell phone users moving to better phones (smartphones) with tons of capabilities.

I could see it, why couldn't people directly in the industry? The hell kind of marketing people do they have?

And I'm with IBA, though I think they'll get bought out and not die. but my opinion gets altered every quarter.


Oh, and I have the Nexus S (the google phone, even says google on it... special). I like it a lot, does the job, runs on android. I like it.

I must be a polygamist cause I have both a BB and an android.
If I could afford it... I would keep my BB

Here's my issue.  I love my Blackberry.  I'm sure if I had more apps to play around with, I'd use it but I've only had a Blackberry as a smartphone.  Prior to my BB 9700, I had a 9000 and prior to that I had a Motorola and Nokia.  Only game on there was Snake (best game ever lol) so its not like I cared for random apps on my phone then.

I'd love to stick with Blackberry to see what these BB10 phones will have to offer but if they aren't coming until late 2012, that's far too late for me... I want a new phone now and in the world of cell phones, that's an eternity.

I don't want an iPhone because my dad has an iPhone (and whats to get rid of it), my best friend had an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4 (and got rid of them for the Google S like Running has, again good phone).  Lastly, the iPhone wasn't even that great upon release this year.  Huge flop for not releasing the iPhone 5 considering all the hype it was getting.

I want an Android and I've narrowed it down to a few phones but I'm leaning towards one.  I'm also under the Rogers Network so that limits me to only certain phones (Yes I know I can unlock a phone but I'd have to buy the phone outright instead of getting it cheap for renewing my contract).  I'd like to get the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE, Samsung Galaxy Nexus or perhaps the Motorola RAZR or HTC Raider but those aren't really being considered anymore.  So between Galaxy S II LTE vs Galaxy Nexus, so here is my issue:

Everyone is saying how amazing the Galaxy Nexus is but I'm not entirely sure why, so please enlighten me!  I've done a comparison and here is what I've come up with:

Galaxy Nexus vs Galaxy S II
Processor: 1.2GHz Dual Core vs 1.5GHz Dual Core
RAM: 1gb vs 1 gb
Screen: 4.65in vs 4.52in
Camera Front: 5mp vs 8 mp
Camera Back: 1.3 mp vs 2mp
Memory: 16gb vs 16gb
Card Slot: No vs Yes (Up to 32gb)
OS: 4.0 ICS vs 2.3 GB
Battery: Li-Ion 1750 mAh vs Li-Ion 1850 mAh

Most of the specs lean towards the GSII... So why do the reviews all (that I've seen) give the GSII a 7-8/10 and the GN 8-9/10.  Is it because of Ice Cream Sandwich?  IF that's the cause, Samsung has announced that a lot of their phones will be getting ICS in the new year, so I'm willing to wait for that and settle for Gingerbread (which is still a great OS)


Thoughts?
