Am i the only 1 who hates Ipods and iphones


Am i the only 1 who hates Ipods and iphones

Postby Smithy501 on Sun Feb 20, 2011 1:32 pm

Sorry this may cause a stir but i can not stand ipods or iphones they drive me up the wall i just cant stand them and for sound quality yea ipod is good for that but creative is so much better but since it dosent have a touch screen its classed as crap

I'm afraid I agree with you mate, but my dislike stems from iTunes more than the devices themselves. I just cant stand it.

I will never ever have a iphone, i hate them because they dont have bluetooth, so a iphone will only comunicate with other iphones, Someone from apple said they will not fit bluetooth to there phones so if you want to share things you will all have to get iphones. NO Chance. They think they are god if there customers want bluetooth they should fit it. But no they want to take over the mobile phone industry so everybody has to have iphone's. I now boycot anything from apple

Sorry Rant over :lol:

Yeah I've gone the BB route as well. I was quite excited when my first customer called me to set up their iPad - what an anti climax that was- utter garbage. :roll:

I much prefer my BB. It does everything I want and the screen is big enough. Only thing not quite as good as my old sony is the camera. Rather then having an ipad I think I'd rather get one of those tiny laptop things. Prefer having a keyboard lol

The one thing I never liked about the Gadget Show is their obsession with Apple stuff. It never seemed to live up to the hype and seems to be somewhat overpriced for what you get, but then that's fashion for you I guess.

MegaFronty, do you happen to know if the Longmynd Hike still runs every year? We (my folks) used to run the checkpoint at Pole Cottage and my Dad actually helped found it back when he was a scout master there.

well i have to put my 2p's worth in it
my phone was made in 2002 and so far it hab been ran over by a 2t car(no not a fronty) droped off scafolding, droped into cerment, and even had a swim in a toilet, and it is still going strong, and it has a 600mhz cpu, 128mb ram, 2.8" touch screen and loads more, and a full qwerty keyboard that slides out.

and i have had a few upgrades in my time and i am still going bk to this one.

and in case anyone wondered what it is, it is the good old HTC tytn2, best phone ive had, and the barreys hold out good (3-4 days with me using it)

Sorry Rant over :lol:


I've got both iphone 3gs and now iphone 4 and think they are amazing especially after a jailbreak. Bluetooth is there and has never let me down. Tomtom satnav for free just to name one excellent app availabale.

I used to hate iTunes but only use this for the iphone as i still think mp3 is much better quality.
