This damn phone loyalty thing is as bad as politics. People hate the other camp more than they support their own.

I can see why folks would like both. I used to have a Galaxy (S3) and went to the iPhone. I'd consider a windows phone, but have no problems with the iPhone.

I'd say I'm in that boat with my iPhone, I like that I know how to use it, never have issues and can't see what the others have extra that I would actuall use. For my MBPro on the other hand, I don't care how much I over paid for it, I'll never (in the foreseeable future) own another shitty PC.



I'm with you on that. I have owned two Android phones and both were shite with terrible battery life. I am on my second iPhone (4 and the 5s) and the 4 lasted for nearly 3 years and never got a scratch and never missed a beat and the 5s is shaping up that way.

As for my Macbook Pro, everyone claims they are overpriced but show me a laptop with the same specs for the same price on the PC side. Add on top of that that I really like the Mac OS and have all of my software for it and that I have never managed to crash a Mac OS in 12 years owning them, I will stick with them.

Tablets, I bought the original iPad when it released and just bought the new iPad Air about a month ago to replace it. I won't deny that there are some really good tablets out there on all sides including the Fire, Android and the Windows tablets but I personally like my iPad at the end of the day. I like it much more than my Nexus 7 but not as much as the Blackberry Playbook though there was no app support for the BB.

It isn't a matter of blind loyalty, i am open to owning other stuff but right now Mac has the best quality out there right now.

CarRamrod made his damn job to troll the board for apple threads just to get in page long debates over the damn things. its. a. phone. he finally grew up and quit doing it but it was pretty comical.

I drink Coke as well and never really consider Pepsi as an option.

I wear Jockey underwear and never really consider haynes as a option.

i wear Haynes undershirts and never really consider Fruit of the Loom as an option.

I'm a sheep. FML.

As the end consumer, I want as much competition in the market place as possible.

One thing that seems to be a common denominator and the people that seem to be the most obsessed with phone wars are droid users with Napoleon complexes.

Enjoy your Note GS 5's. You people probably need to spend more time outside.

Once a company achieves brand loyalty, their next logical move is to spend less improving their product, because consumers will buy an inferior product anyway.

You know that Ramrod was so vocal because his parents wouldn't buy him an iPhone?

For those that can't handle a PC, I fell bad for you. I have had a total of 3 infections on my computer in the past 6 years. I watch a lot of porn, but I'm not an idiot who gets viruses all of the time

I use an IPhone at work, and have always used droid phones for personal use (at least as long as droid has been around), and I can honestly say that the Android system kicks butt over the IPhone every day of the week and twice on sundays. The android isn't as fragile, and since I love music, I have many gigabytes of my favorite music that I never had to pay one red cent for. I like a huge phone (I have big hands and wear a size 17 ring), my new one has a 6.5" screen, octacore processor, and flies like the wind, all for $250, brand new, with hi def screen, and 13mp camera on back, 5mp on front. Go android.

Really? I thought you were pre-med or in med school? If you were in graphic design or the like I could maybe, MAYBE see having to buy all Mac for school but for med it's pretty surprising.

Not saying its the case with you, but this is a good time to remind people that Droid and Android can't always be used interchangeably. Droid is the line of flagship phones from Verizon. If you don't have Verizon you don't have a "Droid", you have an Android without the "Droid" branding.
