iPhone or Android?

[Kevy Baby]

Oh, I do too, but I felt like a dead horse was having the crap kicked out of it.

I'm currently annoyed at my FB for Android app for constantly pushing notifications to my status bar. All push notifications have been disabled and these are not the normal notifications you get when you check your Facebook (I am fine with those and do not want to/need to 'unfollow' posts.

So I recommend the iPhone because the FB for iPhone app is much better.

Not sure I can agree with you on that. While I haven't experienced any unwanted push notifications, there have been enough other problems on the iPhone FB app. On my iPad (same OS and app), I use my browser for FB.

I found the setting under a hidden menu for the App, not for Facebook. Those fvcking sneaky weasels.

Errr, you mean under Settings->Notification Settings, like every other Android app in existence?

Though I am a little annoyed that it seems to reset my notification settings with every update, but I wouldn't call using the Android standard for notification settings "sneaky".

I've never had to use this settings window to disable push notifications until I received ICS and the FB app to go with it. Disabling the settings under FB > Account > settings > notifications settings was enough before. Then again I haven't updated my FB app in a long time so maybe I missed some updates that started changing the default notifications.

A good friend of mine does data sales training for VZW and he recommends the Lucid. So, I think it's a good choice.

Facebook's apps for iOs and Android must be programmed by the Windows ME development group...

In many ways I prefer the iOS FB ap to the PC version. No idea about Android.
