Phones Switched to SSGS3: an Apple Girl's perspective (hands on).

[matttye]

I wouldn't phrase it like that.

Lol at doctors needing to do their work on an iPhone and supposedly sending complex email attachments from a cell phone.

Doctors sometimes have to spend entire days out of the office, for example when they have to attend court to give expert evidence. Is it so hard to believe they'd use a smartphone to send emails?

You're very narrow minded if you don't believe that.

I never said anything about complex attachments either, I'm talking bog standard ones like word documents, spreadsheets, and other such files that are used every day in the workplace.

 

[rendevouspoo]

Whenever I'm out of the office I may get emails that need to be forwarded with numerous attachments. Civil Engineers really need that feature.

 

[Bobby Corwen]

By "caveat" do you mean a delusional response you have concocted to try and spin the facts? Sure, why not. I could use a good laugh

That study was done inmediately right after a major iOS overhaul so the data was skewed and not indicative of any real world experiences.

We're you plannin to disclose that or no?

They can do all of that from the iPhone if they need to. Nothing is stopping them. I dont see what the issue is.

Only 28.64% of the crashes occurred on iOS 5

Yes they can, it's just awkward. There's nothing wrong with improving existing features is there?

It's like..why add folders when apps could be accessed anyway without them? Why implement iCloud when you can just sync?

Believe he is saying that it isn't possible for a doctor with an iphone to receive a word doc about a patient from one of his interns, open the doc, make changes and then email it back with an additional attachment. As in it is not possible on a non-jailbroken iphone to add attachments to an email. Something like that?

It's been a long time since I have had a non-jailbroken iDevice, so I have always been able to add any attachment I wanted or open an attachment via multiple apps, edit in multiple apps, etc....

Not sure about the UK or other countries, but in the U.S. HIPPA regs limit what can and cannot be sent via email. Usually it's just a link to a secure web site.

But I would like iOS to include multi attachments. It would be handy.

I've never had to do that so I never jailbreaked. But it's nice to know I can unlock my phone to do that If I desperately needed to.

That was just an example, it's by no means the scenario where you might need to send multiple files other than images and video.

Not heard of a law like that here!

Here? Not sure where you're at?

It's a big deal in the US. Protection of medical records. I only know because I was a Director of IT for over 12 years in a hospital.

UK.

There's the data protection act but that only specifies who can access data, not how it's shared.

Ohhhh...similar verbiage in HIPAA, with guidelines for what I mentioned above.

you're getting your terminology mixed up again

as usual

Decided the Galaxy S3 is my next phone.

Now how to get one of these bad boys...

 

[TroyBoy30]

In the past the apple app store was way ahead of the android market. Not so much now since they pretty much mirror each other. the major difference now is the apps on android simply do not have the high quality of the apple apps.

 

[Stuntman06]

I agree with you totally. Lumia is a beautiful design, I kind of wish that Nokia went with Android vs Microsoft I would have LOVED that form factor for my S3!

Me, too. I used to use a Nokia N97 as my primary phone. I love the physical build of the device. Unfortuantely, the OS and software sucked for the most part other than Ovi Maps which is one of the main reasons I got it. I still like the physical aspect of this phone more so than my current HTC Desire Z. If Nokia made an Android phone, I would have considered another Nokia at the time.

The latest word from Nokia is that they expect their WP phones to pick up in popularity next spring. I'm still skeptical, but that may be the time that I will be looking for a new phone. If they come out with a phone with a good landscape slider keyboard, I will give it some serious consideration. I love the keyboard on my old N97 more so than my Desire Z.

Had the S3 for two weeks and gave it up to wait and see what the iPhone 5 has in store. The S3 is a great phone and I regret my decision everyday. With no word of anything about the iPhone 5 outside of rumors and speculation I might go back to the S3 and make that my new permanent phone. Starting to be annoyed by Apple's whole secrecy deal

ive been thinking about the s3 for other reasons.
im fairly sure all companies keep their phones secret until announced lol..

How does the Play Store mirror the App Store then? You kinda contradict yourself.

That's pretty much what all companies do, or try to, anyway. It's sad that you're mad about that. It's not just Apple.

It's hard to compare an actually released product with one that is only speculated. What happens if you don't think the next iPhone is that great? You would have deprived yourself of what you described as a "great phone" for the next few months.

Reported for trying to say I'm trolling because you don't agree with my POV which is against the forum rules.

And yes, the stock Android keyboard is terrible so you're forced to go change it which is unprofessional.

No, you change it because you can...and there are many others that yes, are better than the stock keyboard. The keyboard that is awful imo is the iPhone keyboard. Purely dreadful.

What's so dreadful about it? I have zero problems with it

I hated typing on my iPhone. First of all it was too small, it lagged when you turned it horizontal to have a bigger keyboard and the auto correct was a pain in th a**. It was typo city everytime and made texting un-enjoyable.

you used to could argue that google play store was lacking a ton of apps that the app store had. that is no longer the case IE they now mirror each other in app selection. what google play is lacking still is the quality of those apps that it finally offers

everyone saying the keyboard choices on android are superior, i disagree. I have both swype and swifkey, which are supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread, on my gnex. they both suck. The keys on swiftkey are too small and swype still auto corrects words incorrectly that have been added manually. IMO typing on the iphone was much better.

Keyboard choices on Android are superior. On Android, I have the option of having a phone with a physical keyboard. Just my personal preference. I like to actually feel the keys under my fingers.

I wonder if there will be any left when I get my next phone. There seem to be fewer and fewer of them every year now.
