HA! DUN DUN DUNNNNN….ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

hence “CPU/GPU”, I suppose “the main processor SOC” could have done in a pinch :-) (sorry for delay!)

agreed, my New Zealand accent can throw speech recognition off, I usually try and do a comically bad “Amuricun”, and sometimes it works better, HA! :-)

Seriously, try it sometime, do a silly accent, like really exaggerated Southern USA etc, and see if it works for you too :-)

you wouldnt be saying that if the phone was actually made from metal, glass or “high quality plastic” though, right? ;-)

I’ll leave it at that :-)

I hope one day you buy an item that you actually like, so then you can know what its like to have something you really appreciate using too :-)

My collection of Newtons, Palm Pre and Galaxy Nexus may not be something all that useful to me, but I do really appreciate having each of them.

Question : are those locked down monstrosities better or worse than the actual Galaxy S II etc?

We both know the answer.

This phone is THE Galaxy S III, anything else is just a “Verizon Epic Touch LTE OMG 3”

not that video again! :-)

a) its not about “holding it a certain way”, it was touching a certain spot, which bridged the antenna contacts, potentially in rare cases “short circuiting” and dulling your reception, and b) that was the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S is not affected due to its all new clever antenna system, also being both GSM and CDMA because of that one little network in the USA……

(ok, and that TINY little network too, Sprint)

I saw that image and was like “WHAT! PIXELATED RETINA DISPLAY TEXT?!?!?!”

No, my eyesight hasnt gotten better since the last time I looked at my iPhone 4 (minutes ago, damn you Infinity Blade II update), just a compressed image, phew! :-)

its because of lightweights like you that the REAL listeners dont get their full 4 hour serving of Vergecast! Consistency man! We gotta stick together with our unreasonable demands! :-)

whatever name hes going by THIS time :-)

(Chang was a caller, the hosts thought he’d just made up the name)

I literally had to stop myself stumbling off the stool I’m sitting on at work, “….most English speakers….”

Um, you do know many English people, as in a man in England say the word three as “free”, right? :-)

Something tells me you are American….. :-)

…,and the iPhone 4S blasts away my old iPhone 4, which I’ve just taken over 10,000 photos on. The count starts again at 0001 :-)

Have you never had a particular inanimate object that you used every day and truly would deeply miss if it broke? I can give some examples, my fathers carpenters hammer now he’s passed on, seeing and using that for so long growing up, a dead uncles guitar covered in stickers from every town and city he played in around the world, my first iPhone, which I imported, which changed the world.

Some people get particularly attached to a certain brand or product, even when there’s no technical difference, ie Coke and Pepsi, they’re quite different in taste etc, but overall rather similar. An HTC One X is very different to an iPhone 4, so it’s easy to understand why someone could love one and find the other unusable, even missing a certain phone after not using it for years. “remember your first…..”

Wha?! You’ve seen a single person who uses a cracked and broken iPhone? Surely you don’t know multiple, or are implying such…..?

Please drop the idea that the iPhone 4 and 4S drop and shatter into poisonous dust. Worst case scenario, you hit your glass backed iPhone with a hammer twenty times, it cracks, and you either have it replaced by Apple for free, or buy a third party glass/metal/wood/plastic back for 15USD online….

Just to be a jerk and jump in, I think you would OBVIOUSLY see a huge difference, as I spot the horrible pentile distortions on my Galaxy Nexus compared to my old iPhone 4 from a metre, easily.

See this photo in particular

Thats what all text will look like on the device.

Sorry to be rude!
