Yeah, I'm just going to leave him alone on that one. No need to beat on the guy anymore. I mean... this is what this thread is for right? So I'm just gonna chillax.

My next 6 appointments (times and locations, color coded)
Stock quotes for a bunch of stocks I follow
Current weather wherever I am
Current weather at my house
Current traffic map where I drive frequently
Birthdays of friends that are coming up
Etc...
Live tiles rule. Best thing about the OS, hands down
Is it sad that the Nokia spoof has better bullet points than Samsung's?
tilt to zoom smfh
The night I tried WP7 out, the live tiles barely worked. This was especially true for Kik, an app I use everyday. Not one notification popped up on the tile.
Throwing in the towel already? I'd gladly eat crow if you show me any Android that runs smoother than the iPhone. And lets not go and compare it to a first gen iPhone running a version of the OS 2-3 generations ahead.
Wow yeah Nokia has it on their fb page. I love the "True story" they put at the top.
Hilarious. I really do not understand how Samsung manages to get so much attention with these little one off ads and potshots. The last commercial they did had the same effect. Had everyone talking about it.
Damn, the phone is actually quite heavy.
Nokia actually reposted that? Good job focusing on one of the very few flaws of the phone in the headline.
Are you smoking crack?
Did you seriously forget that it was not me that made that comparison but YOU!, and that I merely challenged the absurdity of that specific claim? Did you just try and slam me for doing what you did? The hell do you mean 'throwing in the towel'?
I am trying so hard right now not to pull the 'loljunior' card. This is comedy gold.

Not exactly much point ignoring it. It's out there, and for most people I'd imagine it's not that big an issue.
I'm talking about the 1st gen iPhone running iOS5/6 instead of the stock version of the OS it came with cause it would obviously run slower. Learn to read.
The fuck?

Haha, why have I not seen this before? That ad was great - not necessarily effective, but I just laugh this sort of advertising.
Way to take it out of context.
I told him to show me any Android phone running smoother than the iPhone.
I meant don't compare it to a 1st gen iPhone running iOS5/6 cause it would obviously be slower.
Vox, pal, buddy..... It doesn't matter which version of iOS you are talking about. If its on the original iPhone, it is not more fluid and more smooth than JB on an S3 nor on the Galaxy Nexus..... thats the point friend. Not even the OS your imaginary OG iPhone is running can save you from that ridiculous exaggeration. I am being very kind right now.
You have made the claim that even the web browser on the original iPhone is smoother than that of an S3 and a Galaxy Nexus running JB. We are talking about the ORIGINAL iPhone dude.... This is a device nearly everyone on this board either owned, used or watched Steve Jobs use live on stage back years ago. We all know that your claim that JB performs worse than the original iPhone is bullshit. Im not going to bother peppering you with reviews, benchmarks, or videos and whatnot, because you can do that research for yourself if you wanted.
I really dont get why you dont just cut your losses and admit you were stretching things.
Ok.... you appear to not know anything about iPhones. I thought that was a typo earlier. You just really dont know what you are talking about.
But you yourself said the 1st gen iPhone ran better than JB.
Am I the only one that doesn't even know what you're arguing? 1st gen iPhone running iOS5/6? Original iPhone doesn't lag in multitasking menu like Android (despite the original iPhone never having multitasking)? Wtf?
I didn't take shit out of context.
I wasn't even aware the 1st gen would actually even run 5/6.
I'm getting the impression that he really doesn't know anything about the iPhone. That would explain why he would make such a ridiculous claim, and would definitely explain why he thought it was worth trying to defend that claim.
Funny how scrolling in that presentation is still smoother than my Gnex despite the images not having been fully loaded
It doesn't... I have an iPhone 2G sitting beside me. It maxes out at OS 3.x
I would think one would you use common knowledge and compare it to an iPhone that DID have multitasking.
Why bother? I doubt you even know which models do.
I basically just meant a latter version of iOS would run slower on the 1st gen iPhone. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
zz. How about posting a GIF of Android not being stuttery mess?
Don't have an iPhone but I'm pretty sure first gen iPhones don't run the new iOS system software at all.
Absolutely agreed. It still isn't perfect, but unlike ios, it seems each new iteration of android makes the phone it lands on, faster/smoother*.
The GNEX on JB is improved enough to where I'd place it between a 4 and 4S running their latest OS.
*more room for improvement in that regard, heh
I have to admit, you actually, legitimately fooled me. I didn't catch a whiff of 'joke poster' until you started to leak from the seams here on this page. I was taking you completely seriously.
They don't.
I'll agree. Always room for improvements and every now and then I see some slowdown, but it's nothing too distracting. I'd say while not on iOS level, it's pretty damn close in an everyday setting.
This thread started out so well too.
I never said it did. I meant he shouldn't take the cheap route and compare a high end Android phone to a first gen iPhone running an OS that came out 5 years later. I just happened to use iOS5/6 as my example.
The way the hardware acceleration and UI rendering is done on Android pretty much makes it impossible to be smoother than the iPhone. I'm still waiting on these videos that shows Android being smoother.

I enjoy gifs, so im all for it
Yup my first gen iPhone also wasn't running an OS that came out 5 years later. Compare the web browsing on a stock first gen iPhone vs the Galaxy Nexus. See which one stutters at every scroll after loading the entire page

remember when RIM did that 'Wake up' viral thing and Samsung got all the credit?

I have no idea how long ago that was for you, or what version of WP7 you had (was it pre-Mango?) or what version of the app(s) you were using, but I have no such issues. If I did, I surely wouldn't be crowing about the feature
What app do you use for your next appointments?
