Blackberry was doomed from the start. Who wants to shell out money and support for another server to check your email? They should have seen the market shift and focused on advancing their smartphones. You can't expect your tech to stand pat in an innovative market. Now they're in the same boat with Blockbuster, bailing water slower than they're taking it on.
Even though it looks more fake than a serious post from me, I would go for the iPhone 5 with the rounded edges. I despise SQUARE crap.
I guess you can't read properly. COULD. And by could I mean, it could look exactly like the rip-off. If you go on to read the article in the link... same thing... COULD. Nobody has claimed it to be the iPhone 5.
I really hope that it has a bigger screen. I don't see them coming out with a 64GB one due to Apple launching their iCloud service. As far as the resolution, I don't know how they could make it any clearer that it is. I can certainly understand the need to make it with a better camera, and quite possibly an HD front-facing camera..but I honestly don't know what else they could improve.
By now I think with each new iPhone, the upgrades will be so non-essential you could wait for 2 or 3 new versions before seeing something you really like. But people have to have the newest and most expensive toys, this thing will sell just as well as the 4 and 3.
By sell, do you mean people will "find" them and resell them?... Yawn... I'm bored. Impress me Mr. Jobs and I might consider coming back to you. NFC is not impressive. New design? Great, do I still have those randomly dropped calls? New notification system? Finally... Believe me, when Apple breaks the mold I pay attention, but they haven't done a damn new thing in years, and just like the rest of the sheeple I lined up and bought every incarnation of the iPhone. Not again...
no way they go back to the rounded back/edges the flat glass, chiseled edges looks fantastic, does apple have proprietary on their iphone4 design? or are other manufacturers too stuck up to copy them? if someone made a 4" or 4.3" android phone similar to the iphone4 (glass front/back, slab), i'd totally jump the nexus ship and buy it (even if it has motorblur *shivvers*)
It's never too late... JCDEnton 2.0... Until Apple deviates from "there's an app for that" philosophy and goes back to its roots, their days are numbered. Yes, the iPhone has shazam, and voice nav, and translation software, and facebook so does WP7 AND Android. With WP7 and Android those features are geared right in the OS. Ask me to get voice nav up on my focus, it takes 2 seconds, how about tagging a song and then downloading it? Try 20-30 seconds. I can do all this in spite the "limited" marketplace of WP7. It's ridiculous that Apple has had a 4 year lead and yet features like that are not standard on their phones. Plus, paying 99 cents for songs is just crazy...
I have Zune pass. Renting the music and keeping 10 songs per month for free comes out that I pay hardly anything per song. True, the music I rent I don't technically own, but my ears can't tell the difference. Literally I've filled up about 8 gigs of music in the passed 6 months. Zune pass is about $12 a month (if you buy a year subscription). So, for about $72 I have almost 2000 songs on my phone, that translates to about how much per song? 4 cents. I can deal with 4 cents per song... Plus, I technically own 60 of those songs...
Is it? I used to pay $3.99 and $4.99 for LP's. That works out to less that .99 cents per song. You know what? The dollar was worth a hell of a lot more back then. Look, you get what you pay for. If you think .99 cents is too much to pay for a song, then make your own music. Yeah, pick up a guitar and sing. Just be sure that you composed and recorded your own music.
If all of those 99 cents, or even 60 out of those 99 cents went to the artist I'd agree with you totally. The artists make an astounding 9 cents per song. Wow, that's a lot. However, like I said earlier 4 cents per song works perfectly for me. http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2010/how-much-do-music-artists-earn-online/
