iPhone or Android? - Page 3

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.

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.

What's that? Sounds like you'd get sticky fingers using the phone!

So, what did you decide?

My phone is so old that it fell out of compatibility with my car. That's a statement I could have never known I'd make while dreaming about the future as a teen. I have a Ford that uses Sync, and I can no longer access my phonebook. All other functions work, but it's a 6 year old LG phone and is going to continue to have problems and getting batteries will become an issue.

I don't have a smart phone, there are so many choices and I have never used one, that I have been agonizing over what to get. Hence my late dive into the smart phone pool. I have close access to computers most of the time, so I'm not one to want to use a phone to get on the internet. Nor do I download or listen to recorded music. I just talk, take and send pictures, and text, period. This may change once I get one, but I'm going to want something simple to use, not much troble to maintain, and inexpensive to purchase and use through Verizon.

Coming late to this discussion and posting a thought that is hopelessly behind where the discussion is now, but hey that's how I roll....

As a general rule, I've noticed that if people are not sure which phone they want, Android or iPhone, they end up happier with an iPhone.

Personally, I think you should get a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X
