Don't have an iPhone yet? What generation will you end up finally buying?

I surely won't be getting an iPhone or any Apple product in the foreseeable future. Apple seems to be doing just fine with its (questionable) methods, though.

[spoiler] [/spoiler]

I bought the first Iphone, then when the 2nd gen was released I sold it on Ebay for more than I paid for it and upgraded. I did this up to the 3GS and have now moved on to android where I will remain. When it's all said and done, I didn't pay anything for the Iphones I've had and actually made money on them.

not planning on it anytime soon.. i know a small bump in screen resolution and 3mb more ram is a compelling reason to buy a new phone phone but i'll resist it.comp_atkins

well I have a little under 2 years left on my current phone contract, so it wouldnt be until atleast then. Even then, I dont see myself getting an Iphone

I like to have separate devices for phone calls and music.

So I prefer cellphones that are more simple, so I dont really think I'll buy an iPhone or any other smartphone unless my previous opinion changes.

Not until they add a regular qwerty keyboard. I have a blackberry torch. I like the touchscreen but NOT for texting.

I'll probably get an iPhone when it's offered by my carrier, T-Mobile. For now, I have an iPod Touch, which is basically the iPhone without the "phone."

No joke. My whole class has an Iphone.

We play IPhone Call of Duty Zombies mode every time after lessons...

I don't plan to get one, I don't use cell phones enough to warrant spending that much.

Had the Palm Pre until the Evo4G came out and ive been using it since. I see me using this phone for at least another year, probably longer. Iphones, and well most Apple items, imo are hipster products that bros, teens, peace sign facebook pic girls, and the uniformed trying to look cool people buy. Guy and girl at work use to be like "dude check it out new iphone, it does this and this" and i was like "ohh, my Evo does all that too....but faster. plus it does this other stuff your super great iphone cant".

I will never be getting one. Apple boasted a $6 billion profit, and yet they still charge a kidney to buy one of their devices. Obsessed with money, I'd say so. ferrari2001

I'll buy a smartphone eventually, but I doubt it'll be a iPhone.

not planning to get a iphone

Yeah um... no. I can do way more with other phones. I'll stick with my HD2 that I can mod to any version of android (excluding honeycomb for now).

I had an iPhone once. I absolutely hated it. Albeit, it was the original one, but my experience with it has put me off iPhones.

EDIT: I doubt I'll ever get one though, it's too closed off for my liking.

I don't like touch screens, I doubt I'll ever buy one.

[QUOTE="dog_dirt"]what is it about the android that made you 'stay'. my contract is up soon and i would mind trying an android device but i've yet to see anything that would pull me away from iphone. i know they are more open but what exactly is the benefit of that and what am i missing by not having an open platform. dog_dirt

Actually, if I remember correctly, I did give you reasons it's better than IOS. It's customizable. I can use alternative web browsers, mail clients, video players, music players. If there's a particular feature I don't like, I can change it. Android has true multitasking, I can run 4 music players, playing 4 different tracks at the same time if I desire. Basically, I'm choosing an open platform over a native closed platform.

And yes Apple is greedy. Due to their closed system, they wish to "force" developers into using their services (app store) so that they get a piece of the pie of somebody Else's hard work. Android on the other hand is open and allows the developer to choose.

Ugly to you isn't ugly to everyone;) The "real" reason is, I don't need Apple to hold my hand and tell me what I wan't.racer8dan

this iphone vs. andriod thing is turning into mac vs. pc 2.0 apple wants to maintain control over too much ( it's os on it's hw, control over what applications it allows ) in the long run that approach ( when compared to entire pc market ) didn't work out too well for them. hell i remember apple was practically bankrupt a few years ago before the first ipod came out. with the growing popularity of the android platform it looks like apple might end up where they were with pc's.. owning maybe 10% of the market..comp_atkins

Also, you have the option of any carrier, any hardware, and how much you wan't to spend on an Android device. whearas the iphone you get one choice of hardware and two choices for carrier.racer8dan

This is also true, although here in Canada I can get an iPhone with any provider...though they all suck, so it's not as if it's a great thing.

I'd be more interested in Android once Google's hardware restrictions kick in...keeping the platform so open is something that I think has hurt it a lot in terms of consistency. Right now, unless you read reviews very carefully and keep track of model numbers (which often vary from carrier to carrier), it's easy to buy a bad Android phone.

Sticking with Android :) I love my Droid X

I don't really want to spend extra money to advertise their logo.
