The Droid X is a model of phone. It has nothing to do with the Razr, or the Razr Maxx.

Jesus christ forgive me. As I said, you know what I am talking about. The RAZR MAXX was far more fragile than an iphone

lol...way to start the paragraph objectively

LOL, maybe not but it is true. It would be like someone saying "The ford 302 is better than BMW". You would probably have a brain cramp trying to figure out how an engine is better than a line of cars. Same thing here. How is an OS better or worse than a phone?

To the best of my knowledge, you can't do that on an iPhone. Do they allow apps that install free ringtones now? In the past, they haven't.

The app I have works with my itunes and does everything for free and I've had it for probably 2 years (since I got an iphone), dont know how long it was available before that

The average user can easily DL and install free ringtones directly from an Android. No need to plug it into anything. (I use Zedge)

You can install or rip your own in about 10 seconds. You haven't touched an iphone in a while, I'm guessing iOS 3. You used to not be able to change things like SMS and email alerts, and getting a ringtone created was kind of a pain. now you can modify any tone you want, and ringtones are very easy to create.

iOS used to piss me off with the walls they put up. Now it is a little better. I still wish for things like a bluetooth slider on the main screen so I don't have to go into settings. But it will get there.

right but your arguement of how bad android must be if there are so many releases would only make sense if ios was still on v. 1.0

OpenSignalMaps - Android Fragmentation Visualized

apparently, the Nexus is the one to get:

Unfortunately, Android is different. With Android, you have multiple manufacturers taking Android, tweaking it with their own UIs and editing it to fit a ton of different devices. The problem is, those devices don't get software updates as soon as Google releases them, and in a lot of cases, they don't get them at all. Android manufacturers have gotten worse at keeping up with updates over the past year, too. Only 50% of you even have Ice Cream Sandwich—even less if you discount custom ROMs—and Jelly Bean is already out in the wild.

Lol...does anybody even use that crap?

ME: "Siri, which Hooplans use crappy outdated electronical products?"

SIRI: "Mo, I believe you are referring to DP_Broncos and Clyde_Carbon."

ME: "Thank you, Siri. I love you."

but that's what google was going for....


way to go google

"The problem is, those devices don't get software updates as soon as Google releases them, and in a lot of cases, they don't get them at all."

if pushing more iterations of stagnant junk out there was their goal, they succeeded

(i'm not trashing Android with that statement, simply all of the crap phones that are not the three or so good ones)

I did, and she asked if I wanted to search the web for "navigate somewhere real quick".

What does your android do?

You sure it was the Razr Maxx, and not just the Razr? I have the Maxx, there's nothing fragile about it.

I have an iPhone 4 :) Didn't bother to do much with it since it was a temporary situation until I could use my Android again.
