For ATT guys...is there an extra charge to FaceTime over 4G? It takes me to the website whenever I switch it on but I've never researched prices, if any...?

The only iPhone that's worth it is the 16gb. I can't see myself paying 100 more for the 32gb or 200 more for the 64gb.

Fortunately I not a heavy memory user, but for those who are? Android.

The feature is only available on certain data plans. Short story is that (last I heard) if you've got an unlimited data plan, you can't do FaceTime over 4G.

I did find that out about the Android stuff today which is fucking awesome. But I can't bring myself to get a Android phone. I felt the Maxx and I don't like the size or how square it feels. Plus they tried to make it really light and makes it feel cheap. I could get behind the Galaxy 3 and maybe deal with the size. But people I know with them have been telling me that unless you have that power thing from Ironman, you'll need to wear your charger as a necklace. My main goal in having a phone is to have a phone. THe other stuff are just goodies that I do want. I did look at the smaller ones but again, they felt cheap and many weren't in HD.

I tested out the 3g a bunch today. Wolfram-alpha computes no problem, webpages load just fine, maps works fast (though it was way off on one destination today) and it takes 1 extra second for the porn star I'm following on twitter's naked picture to load. Only thing I found that sucks is the Youtube app doesn't play shit that clear on 3g. Not a big deal, I'm not wasting data on Gangnam style.

With that being said, Hey Android people, if you're listening. I fucking hate Apple. Probably the only company I hate becuase they try to force you to use only their stuff and to pretend like there isn't anything else except Apple in the world. BUT they make good products. IF you want more customers, take your damn 64" LED TV size PHONES, make them heavier like a phone, shrink them a little bit and I'll set my damn Iphone on fire come next contract renewel. With the exception of College students or Doctors of Gender Studies who work at Starbucks, you'll own the smart phone market.

How to show everyone you have no idea WTF you're talking about in two brief statements.

Clearly that's what "Android" is doing wrong with "their phones"... making them too light. Don't they know people want the Motorola Brick back?!?

Do you remember the days of Cell Phones where they kept making them smaller and smaller and smaller to the point they were about the size of a thumbdrive? Now they're making them bigger and bigger and bigger, to the point that they'll be the size of a tablet.

I carry my phone in my pocket like a man. I don't carry a purse/sachle and I'm sure as hell not clipping it to my belt. I want to carry a phone in my pocket without fear of breaking the damn thing. The Iphone for the most part feels solid, or at least more solid than the android phones. I feel they are the perfect size.

Exactly, a phone is supposed to go in your pocket, and I mean pants pocket.....You shouldn't have to wear a jacket just to have a pocket big enough for it. Some of us live in areas where we don't need to wear a jacket. Oh, and belt holsters are ghey unless you're Obama or something.

Phones should be small and tablets should be big. Some people are just confused. They go around saying the iPad is too big, and that they're waiting for the smaller 7" version.........Except wait a minute, even that one would be too big to carry in a pocket, so you would have to carry it in a shoulder bag or backpack, so why not just leave it at 10" so you have a bigger screen?

If you're just hanging out w/friends or shopping or whatever, all you need is your phone. If however you're flying somewhere, or commuting to work on the train, you'll probably have a shoulder bag or backpack with you, so you can easily carry a big tablet or even a laptop. Shit's simple......I don't get why people are demanding all these other choices.

Gotta agree with that. I'm far from an Apple Fanboy but I've had a 4s for the last year and dont see myself getting rid of it anytime soon, mostly for the reasons you mentioned.

I have the 64 GB-But I use mine as a raceday data logger. It's a memory hog. Other than that,a 8 or 16 GB is all you need.
