I feel like Apple would sell everyone's info to the government so they can stick straws in our heads and suck our brains out. That's just me though.

:rofl:

iPhones are much simpler to use; hands down
Droids are phones for people who like technical stuff

I myself, do like technical stuff, but I however love the iPhone's user-friendliness and the user-responsiveness. Those are the two things that all other phone companies are desperately trying to duplicate and are hopelessly failing. I never said one was better than the other, I was simply making my point that other phones are just needlessly overcomplicated and user-unfriendly; albiet I was ranting like an Apple Fanboy, but still :P

Between multiple crackberries, Motorala Droid 1 and 3, Samnsung Fascinate....IMO the iPhone is still better. I have so many less problems with iPhones...however I need a physical QWERTY keyboard so I stick with my Droid 3....sadly. And I have ran hacked/rooted/jailbroke all (except the crackberries) and I always go back to stock too...

metro , 50 a month unlimited everything , only bad thing about MPCS is the phones price is high. And if you want 4g its like 60 per month and the phone is about $300+

Im running a Jailbroken iPhone that I said I was going to unjailbreak... One year ago.. I still haven't gotten around to updating it lol

honestly, just get something 75w90. iirc i'm running the same $6/qt valvoline with friction modifier in both my trans and diff, mostly because it's cheap and i could do both at the same time.

They're both the same weight; 75w90
Its just that ones specifically designed for the Diff (GL-5) and one for the Tranny (GL-4). I was just wondering if running 75w90 instead of 70w80 in my tranny would screw things up down the line

Why do I NEED to be more advanced..? Having worked with Apple vs. Microsoft software before, I have firsthand knowledge to say your statement is 100% false to begin with; I'll humor it regardless. I'm driving an e30 for starters.. thats not exactly the most advanced car out there, but its gots its perks. I could be driving hundreds of cars that could be "better" and "more advanced" that have much more "features", but why do I need anything "better" than my e30..?

Same argument I'm using now. I dont need a friggen screensaver that moves; lolwut. I dont need to be USB compatable; lolwut. I dont need a kickstand so I can be lazy while watching a movie; lolwut. I dont need an HDMI connector; lolwut. I dont need to take 3D pictures; lolwut.
Its cool to have, but why does my phone need it? I would like to think of the last time I was ever walking down the street and though "OH CRAP! I NEED TO PLUG MY PHONE INTO THIS HDMI CABLE STAT!" or "Huldon guise!! I need to taek dis pic in ThreeDeeeee!"

Phone companies are trying way to hard to be better than Apple and make garbage over-complicated phones. I owned an LG Vu for 2 years and bought it cause it was the first phone with live video streaming and TV channels. WORST IDEA EVER. I hardly used the video fuction, and the phone ran like crap. For the $200 I paid for it, I coulda had a (what was then) top of the line iPhone 3G. A lot of the owners of current phones are gonna think the same exact thing in a years time.

If you ask me. Phone companies are going WAY overboard with trying to get you on their bandwagon with introducing much more overly complicated phones that dont work right or have stupid, unnecessary functions

More stuff to go wrong IMHO

/rant


You know it! And no over-blown luxury bloated droid argument will change my mind. I have my reasons why Apple is better, and while those reasons are subtle, it makes for a better quality, software and hardware, phone.

lolwut.

you're rant was very incoherent and i stopped reading after the first half. i don't like iphones or apple for that matter, but this is based on facts and real factual reasons. i just don't understand the need to be stuck in apples grasp where you are forced to buy a new product when they can clearly released on ota update. i've owned an iphone, never liked it, wanted to get the iphone 4, glad as hell i didn't. i have had nothing but androids afterwards and while android wasn't the greatest when it was released (as with anything), it has been spanking the iphone ever since the 3g/4.

sorry but why would i spend such an outrageous amount of money on something that easily cracks and breaks, the battery sucks, the antenna sucks, lack of storage, lack of battery life, etc., etc.. i can go on about it, but the plain fact of the matter is, iphones aren't better than most phones equipped with an android platform, plain and simple. also, let me know when you guys get 4g.

[e30trooper]

75/90 is GL5 , they dont make GL4 anymore.

[ethrtyiS]

there's really no fact as to which is better between those or android vs iphone.

you are dead wrong.

metro , 50 a month unlimited everything , only bad thing about MPCS is the phones price is high. And if you want 4g its like 60 per month and the phone is about $300+

metro sucks shit.

I drop my iPhone daily; I'm horribly clumsy. It has a bunch of scrapes and dings, but it still hasn't broken.
The battery life on an iPhone is better than most Androids.
The biggest Android phone has very limited internal storage and needs an external drive; which even then, is pretty limited.

Your proving your own argument wrong..

Honestly, I've heard more horror stories from people who don't buy an iPhone than people who do. It's just that people love to bash on Apple and will blow up the story on them because human nature is to root for the little guy who no one thinks will win the fight AKA Microsoft and Androids

You do realize that half of the population owns just ONE phone right? Apple has never needed to release different versions of their iOS running phone; it's already good as it is. I look up phones on the Sprint website and wheel because I don't even know where to start..

75/90 is GL5 , they dont make GL4 anymore.

I just bought a case of Redline MT-90 GL-4 75w90..?

[MR 325]

So I just put in an order for Redline MT-90 75w90 and Synthetic Gear Oil of the same weight.

Is Redline as good as people really say it is? Im running ATF and have been for the passed month or so, but I just realized my tranny is a No-Label tranny and I need synthetic gear oil. That, and I really need to put an LSD Oil in my Diff

Just get some off the shelf Valvoline or Castrol 75w90 at $5 a quart. Use the same stuff in the trans and diff. Please trust my advice, I've been doing this for a long time. Redline products are good but $15 a quart is really just silly for an E30 that doesn't need it.

i think you are really forgetting how many android platformed phones are out.

[e30trooper]

you are dead wrong.



metro sucks shit.

Ive never had a lost call or bad signal. Could be shitty service in the SFV, but out here in the SB its just fine.

[JinormusJ]

WhyTF do you need more than one platformed phone out on the market..? To cover-up the past failings of the other one..? Androids still, and forever will, make no sense to me.

I already bought the Redline stuff :-P
I've made some good sales this month, so I had some cash left over to spend on them. Had I been strapped for cash, I probably would've gone with Valvoline Race fluid or the Castrol stuff

[thebutcher37]

Boy I sparked up a debate..

Well thanks for all the input guys...

Aymando, Im gonna speak with you, my GF hooked us up today and found a good deal on phones so ill have an HTC one S by friday.... We have like a month to get a full refund or something of the sort... So I want to see what you could do for us cause I thought wrong and it so happens that we are out of our t-mobile contract, but if we go through with these HTC's well be back in for 2 more years.

because there are many different phone companies with many different phones being released constantly because lots of people like different things. that's like saying why are there different car manufacturers and why aren't they all 4 cylinders.

[Kevinxkrazy]

having trouble deciding on what color to paint my poor car. any suggestions?
