[quote=aich75013;1716325]Really? I have been told by AT&T reps that changing phones doesn't affect your plan.[/QUOTEThats
That's odd it shouldn't change I have even added lines to my unlimited plan and it didnt change. |
Re: iPhone vs. Android Questions

Back to the question by OP. As suggested, drop box should work, syncing pictures through itunes would work, and would involve a mass drop and upload from your android device to itunes. Here is a link to a way to sync contacts. |

$299 promo price for upgrading and $299 in 2 years is less then having to pay $1500 in 2 years. Considering I usually break the phone in some fashion before the 2 years is up I'm a slave to their terms of the contract |

Re: iPhone vs. Android Questions
Go to a used phone store (or craigslist) and get a used phone for about $200 and keep the unlimited data. my wife's phone took a dive, and I bought her a used phone for cheap. No change to the contract.
I just can not get behind the whole "Apple is the end all be all of everything" craze. I've played around with the Iphone and I own a Droid X (old but still works great), and the ability to customize the android phones is a total deal maker for me. Apple controls everything. Plus I have purchased applications for the droid, and switching to the iphone would just mean that I would have to repurchase those applications. |

http://www.forbes.com/sites/adrianki...-the-increase/ Perhaps if you're talking about a single model then you could make that argument. Otherwise it's simply untrue. The majority of people, 80% per that article, choose not to pay for the Apple name, or can't afford to. I remember Apple booming in the early home computing days too. Good product, nice interface, but proprietary and expensive. They refused to allow other hardward vendors to license their OS. Eventually that landed them where they are now in the computer OS market, a 4-8% share. That same thing could happen in the mobile market. I know :tf, but those who dont' learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. |

It just seems tthe mobile market is a situation with a likelihood of following the same path as the PC market. The similarities are undeniable. Apple computers were IT. Graphical User Interface was born. Nobody had seen anything like it. They had some of the best applications, only written for Apple OS, like Adobe products. Apple had RISC based CPUs, far more efficient and faster than Intel's x86. They had SCSI bus controllers/HDs, much faster and more robust than IDE or Micro-Cannel. Apple even setup special discounts for schools to kids would get used to their GUI and want/buy one as they grew older. Yet Microsoft came along and licensed their OS, DOS and eventually Windows, to IBM and other hardware manufacturers. Soon, the IBM "clones" surpassed Apple's sales. Not long after they dwarfed Apple's numbers. The same principles are in place now. A very popular OS that is hardware specific is now being outsold by an OS that is licensed to dozens of hardware manufacturers who sell at a fraction of the price. Apple held so tight to their hardware, refusing to license the OS, that eventually they became a niche market in the PC world. |
