I think I am probably the only person out there that doesn't use it for playing music or transferring my mp3s to it. I just use Pandora. Heck, even when I had my Razr MAXX and its 32gb I didn't load a single song onto it but I played the crap out of Pandora.
Got a tip for us?

Iphone 4 and 4S still way better than any Android phone

Things are going to become a flame war when you make sweeping statements like "Grannies can pickup iOS but wouldn't know what to do with ANDROID". I was merely responing to that statement with examples, rather than simply saying "you're wrong". While Apple does hold classes for all of their products, the iPhone class always seems to be the one packed to the gills (unless there is a secret meeting place for their Macs that I am unaware of). But anyway, be a part of the cure, not the disease. Or don't. It's all the same to me.
Neither do I. I just use Motocast and stream any song I want from my iTunes
Move along, nothing to see here. Just a bored Android on
Probably prepaid device wants to start something
Android fanboy users in this thread:
Inferiority complex towards the more iconic Apple brand.
Most Android users in the real world: wouldn't waste their time even knowing there is a thread like this.
BTW android market share dropped last quarter. Apple's went up even though no new iPhone was released. Android still majority by the sheer number of different phones by different carriers and manufacturers. Reminds me of the PC Vs Mac wars. Being a majority doesn't assume the best product sells.

Inferiority complex towards anything other than the Apple brand.

BTW, android and iOS usage continues to grow around the world.

I take it your marketshare decline numbers are only taking the U.S in account?
OMG I OWN AN IPHONE, PLEASE CONFIRM MY INSECURITY BY TELLING ME HOW AWESOME AN IPHONE IS!!!!! Clowns...
- I love my 4S in any conceivable way a person can love a piece of technology
- I loved every single Android phone I've owned - yes that includes their battery lives
- 3 things I strongly, strongly miss about my Androids that even my JB'd iPhone cannot touch:
1.) global sharing system
2.) ability to set default apps
3.) screen the size of a text book - the iPhone looks and feels like a postage stamp in my hands
- My next phone will be an enormous-screened Windows Phone
- I'm a tech junkie, a gadget geek - I've owned multiple Treos, Blackberries, Windows Mobile 6, 6.1, 6.5 phones, and Androids - I am NOT tethered to a brand "just because." I switched b/c it was time to experience something DIFFERENT, NOT b/c it was an iPhone (had Sprint had the HTC Titan [WP7] I would have gone w/ that)
- I paid a hefty amount for a monster of a Mac and I love it but guess what? I love my Windows 7 laptop too (sometimes even more) and wouldn't trade it in for an MBP simply b/c I already own a Mac and want a Windows computer as well for things the Mac cannot do well or at all
Can some of you comprehend the position I hold regarding my post or are you just blown away that someone can have affinity towards a non-Apple product?

I don't think an Iphone has the potential to be better than an HTC becuase HTC has better graphics and has faster internet than the IPhone and the Android marketplace is way bigger than the Apple marketplace so the HTC is more relaible therefore it would suit your needs becuase you would such a fast phone with amazing graphics. This would satisfy your needs! not an Iphone.

Be part of the cure? Considering the fact that I enjoy both Android and iOS I wouldn't say that I'm encouraging a flame war. I responded to someone else a while back because it seemed as though he/she was trying to shove Android down someone else's throat. What works for one person might not always work for someone else. Although this person felt the need to point out ever single thing he could about Android. In the end my response is simple, as long as I'm buying it you don't have a say in it, and your opinion really doesn't matter either. To each their own.
I to find that the iPhone OS seems to flow and seem more fluid. Things are just simpler and more intuitive. Now as I stated before it could just be that its because I am used to iOS, but I also did use an android device before as well.
The iPhone mail app imo is better than the stock app on android(how it handles multiple accounts, conversations etc), the messaging app is also better.
I am open to trying new things, I even toyed around with my FIL's HTC Radar Windows 7 phone. I did find it cool but got rather bored of it quickly.
I had 2 androids. Went back to iPhone. I have a PC as well. I am also an apple stock holder.
Call me whatever you want but never, ever argue discuss actual facts! /sarcasm
Yes this was for the US.
I don't care what the other guy uses, for me the iPhone does the job.
It's funny how the other guy who replied assumed that I think the iPhone is better because I posted a stat and made a statement about the nature of the market share. I never said that the android is definitely inferior. Go read my post and note the verbiage. Any message he took from it is purely based on his attitude. I worded it very carefully. I thank him for confirming my hypothesis.
If you have no idea what I am referring to I certainly don't know what to do to make you understand, but I suppose I will give it one more try (below). The fact that you use both products is irrelevant based on other things you said.
Hint, I will repeat only the most relevant part of my response to you:
The above statement is an example of not being part of the cure, IMO.
HTH
Ok, so, my mistake. Most of the people I see that are old couldn't and wouldn't operate an Android phone because it LOOKS confusing. iOS looks like a phone a 5 year could operate.
I have an iPhone 4s. Both of my parents (who are 70 years old) have HTC Evo 4gs. They have absolutely no problem operating their phones including texting, email, web browsing and using google maps to get where they're going.
