Sony phones are incredibly unreliable; LG aren't much better in my experience. Mind you, that experience is a couple of years out of date by now =]

When I switched to Verizon a few months ago. I first got the LG Revoloution. The battery on it was a POS. Took it off of the charger at 12:30 pm and had to put it back on the charger at 6:00 pm. Because there was 10% of power left on it. So the next day I exchanged it for the Samsung Charge. All because I didn't read the reviews by the customers. I would've avoided the LG in the first place.

I dont know if LG have got better recently but never touch sony mate. Literally NEVER! I had a Sony W995. Went wrong 6 times!!! So I had to dump it and flog it to some envirophone website thing. Don't touch sony it's just a accident waiting to happen

LG used to have quality control problems. Don't know if they have gotten better but I don't know anyone with an LG

I have an iPhone4 and I can listen to music all day long on less than one battery life. The reason is you can listen to music while your phone sleeps. As we all know it's the light that drains the battery and depending how many games you play etc... I can get through a day without a charge with normal use (and listening to music) but I play games on my constantly so I have to charge during the day one time.

P.S. I had an Inspire (Android) and I hated it. I will never buy another Android. I got poor reception, it wasn't user friendly and it suck the HELL out of my battery.

Your reason for this applies to every other android phone I have laid my hands on. Screen is off on myne and the processor throttles down. I have yet to test it for music only. I abuse battery life so my results tend to suck. That said my first day I had 14 hours and I have seen 21 out of it so far.

The battery on the inspire is terribly small at 1230mah. The battery in my last non smart phone wasnt even that small lol. OS has much less todo with the reception, though improperly coded firmware from the manufacturer can have an effect on this. You went from budget hardware to something much better and you got better results as I would expect. Nothing wrong with an iPhone but Apple wouldnt have ever made something like the Inspire.

The phone I actually wanted thats not available in the US has a 2500 mah battery in it ftw.

Damn balls you need an upgrade. Wouldnt a thunk an outrageous spender like you would be on an Optimus. It was okay new but these days the horror. A 12MB non movable to sd application is like horror on the 130mb of internal usable on those. Unless you mean the Optimus X.

I have Motorola Photon; thought, thought it would be better than my EVO....wrong. Camera sucks bad; said at first it would record 1080p...wrong. Pre-installed software was nothing like the HTC. I will be upgrading in 9 months so hopefully something great is out + Spint actually gets some 4g or 4LTE out. Verizon have some great phones but looks like it could be expensive with any kind of data plan. If you live in a 4g area it would be GREAT; but, 4g coverage is far and few between & 90% of people don't need a 4g phone.

Oops i read right past the "ex" part. I am not 90% of people but for me 4G is almost a must. If your home or at work with wifi then your big downloads are solved easily there. But on the go 3G (what I am getting on sprint 2D/.5U) isnt all that for youtube and remoting in but thats just me.

I get between 10 to 15 down and 1.4-1.5 up. Live and work in their WiMax areas. Their move to LTE is a good thing except for the fact that its 22 months til an upgrade (they killed their 1 year plans) and I hopefully will be moving to an area that has yet to get 4G so im really never getting 4G there till I get a new phone.... I looked at them and it would be slightly more expensive to get on a plan with 10 gigs. I think I can live with that in trade for having service where I am going, not sure yet.



Time of day doesnt have much an effect I know your gonna say no one was on the network at 3am lol.

i say iPhone, and iPad, and iPod, and iCloud, and iRan, and iDesk and iDontgiveafuck..... just get and iPhone.... its the most selfish phone around.... iHaveone......iLoveit

HTC Edge, World’s First Quad-Core Android Phone, Revealed | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - coming early 2012. htc + quadcore = win.

or you can join the revolution and go with something new. Iphones are for people who don't tinker with there phones in the way many computer geeks mess with there computers - ala rooting, custom roms etc... android os is Linux - Linux = customizable for example i can run a PlayStation game (played final fantasy 8 on my evo no lag)

iphone - if your lonely and want siri to tell you what to do and make you her bitch then go for it =D - icloud is a good thing the ios has going for...but soon it will be standard...in reality icloud has been out you just have to download software for your computer and phone - think ftp - just with some pizazz.

Well iOS = Unix. Linux = Unix Like OS. Running PS1 games has nothing todo with customizing the operating system. iPhone has a PS1 emulator out too :p Just saying, once again false reasons for liking or hating something. Last i checked (dont own one) Jailbreaking iOS gets you root access which would mean it = rooting.

The main difference with iOS would probably be lack of completely custom roms like CyanogenMod. But this is no different than Android phones from the likes of Motorola that have locked bootloaders. You can root them but not flash them most of the time. The real problem with iOS would be the lack of source code and people not wanting to waste time reverse engineering things. But thats all related to OS customization. You want to play an emulator thats just an application. Albeit a resource demanding one.

I just bought a samsung galaxy 2 skyrocket and I love it. The only thing that really sucks about this phone is it it doesn't have an apple symbol on the back so I can't holdit up in the airport and say hey bro look at my new iphone.
