are you talking about lack of good preinstalled softwares or the crap useless softwares that manufacturers bundle with their mobiles?
BOTH. However, when it comes to pre-installed software, they aren't outright bad, while the PC suites are almost always pathetically buggy and deficient.
personal preference totally. some peoples just want a smartphone to do twitter & FB. & that they can do multitasking on the go.
Coincidentally, both Twitter and FB are APPS. And multitasking is done between APPS only, so my point still holds.
i'll say if someone shifting from Spica to G3, he'll say the resolution isn't good at all. but if for someone, G3 is the first smartphone or his first true smartphone, he'll be happy with the screen as well as its performance.
This is only a self-pleasing presumption. You ignore the fact that some people, including me, must have extensively tested other phones before purchase. Whether they *personally* are using a smartphone for the first time or not isn't always a valid factor.
also i don't think interest in gaming last that long on a portable device, something that isn't a PSP. assassins creed on PC is a totally different experience to that on a mobile (haven't played but from experience & comparison of other games i can say that). also a game will drain battery really fast.
BUT WHAT ABOUT GPU...!!!! THAT IS, I MEAN, LIKE THE *MOST* IMPORTANT CRITERIA FOR ME TO PURCHASE A BUDGET SMARTPHONE!!!!!!! I LIKE TO SHOW OFF GPU SCORES FROM RANDOM SITES TO PROCLAIM HOW ULTRA COOL MY PHONE IS, DOOOOD!!!
i agree with hrithan
If all these are left out than you what is the exact purpose you have bought phone for?
Since you are a NOOb in Android as your name claims, I think I should ignore your naive question.
I know you will say it is subjective and user prefrence and many other things but what exactly is your preference that makes you think G3 is better?
Reading my previous posts shouldn't be hard!
Like i said it is better in
1] QWVGA
2] Multi-touch
3] 3 mp
And of course, these are so small things!!
I dont completely agree that only purpose of froyo is to apps2sd. I agree that it is main purpose but other things are also bundeled:
1] Froyo lets you turn your phone into a hotspot—including for your Wi-Fi iPad, if you're so inclined.
The fact that you say "if you're so inclined" automatically makes this OPTIONAL.
2] Froyo is up to 5x faster than Eclair, thanks to a just-in-time compiler. etc..
Each new version of Android come with guaranteed speed enhancements and optimized performance, so that is nothing new. Majority of people, however, look for FEATURES that are totally new and impossible to implement on earlier versions of Android (apart from Custom ROMs, at least). I consider apps2SD to be one such feature. Another feature in upcoming version of Android OS is dedicated Music store, separate market space for 3D games, support for Google TV and more. Point is, no one JUST waits for speed enhancements anymore when already their 800Mhz + enabled processors don't show much lag to start with. Geeks always look for FEATURES!
The reason why I previously compared G3 with G5 is because G5 is very good phone dont know why it is not considered by anyone here.
Three cons in comparison to G3 is:
1] Smaller display
2] WVGA [dont know exactly it never bothered much]
3] 2mp camera.
Lol. So here you say WVGA didn't bother you much and then when I say exact same thing about QWVGA of G3 in comparison to O1, you somehow have problem in accepting that?
Nothing else than this, if performance wise is considered G5 beats G3 hands down.I dont know how many of you have got the chance to test both the phones side by side. Gladly I had and it showed me clear results.
Good joke. In one of your previous post, you admitted being tested on a fault G3 model and now you state those results as some sort of a proof? The piece of G3 that you tested didn't even install many apps, let alone run it...why your benchmarking results should be taken seriously, if at all?
hello guys,
Got a Galaxy 3
Optimus 1 was available. I went for G3, as it has got almost all features i want, and of course, i wanted 2.2, but then i can use a custom ROM
Reason why i didnt go for O1 ?? I m not sure about LG phones, how they perform , after sales service , and my mind didnt allow me to go for an "LG" phone ...
And yea, i m loving my G3 .. biggg upgrade from N72
Hearty congrats! and yes, if I were you, I too would stay 10 feet away from LG 'brand'.
Do check: G3 sub-forum on XDA-developers, mainly the Android Development section.
BTW, HTC Smart, it uses Brew OS. is it so bad?
It is not bad..it is...WORST..than anything else in the market! Doesn't excel at absolutely ANYTHING.[/quote]
maybe its like a shemale mobile OS. good for nothing, suites nobody.
ROFL. I wonder what made you do such peculiar comparison! Surely, not involving some personal experience?!?!
