      Anonymous, 10 Nov 2010Do you really find this chart thorough and reliable? How ... moreits just designed to keep iTards happy, not to actually mean anything, because anyone with half a brain cell could tell you this survey is completely pointless because the data is so vague

        Do you really find this chart thorough and reliable?
        How can one compare a group of devices to a single device?!
        It's like comparing a Porsche 911 to all models of say Chevrolett. But does it mean a Chevy Corevette is less reliable then Porsch 911?

        I'd totally undestand comparison of 'iPhone vs. HTC Nexus One' or 'iPhone vs. Motorola Droid'.

            The number of users that actually "USE" an iPhone are those who jailbreak, and that is a very small amount. THe rest are just stupld hipsters and jids who want a PSP phone.

                having an smartphone will not make you smart

                  iphone user, 10 Nov 2010Sorry to be a real pain in the butt but I don’t drop calls.... moreGet your head out of your as* dude. Iphone 4 does not have any kind of superior graphic to other high end snapdragon/qualcomm phones. Apple does not make the games themselves, it is third party developers.

                  The only reason you see more games and heavy graphic on the iPhone is because there is a bigger market, most iPhones buyers are young and immature enough to go around playing games on their phones and pay for them.

                  People who buy for example high end HTC or Samsung devices have main focus on having a superior smartphone, not a gaming device.

                  So developers like Unreal Studios don't see any profit in wasting alot of time and money developing games for these platforms, because the buyers group of high end Android phones are largely not interested in gaming.

                    by the way this is crazy what is it breakable ? its obvious when you abuse any devise it breaks. why you guys who have complain about this, use nokia 1100. it suits you. no one pushes you to have iphone.

And shouldn't games be best played on a PC or console? Sad to see folks using their phones for gaming instead of dedicated devices.

                            With that kind of graphics, i bet ur icrap battery will be gone in no time. Also, the game ironiclly is too graphically intense and it lags. Kinda like 23-20fps

                                  So Nokia breaks a whole lot then?

                                  I bet it has the highest non-accident malfunction rate. And maybe lowest accident rate.

                                      isnt the iphone 4 antena problem and dead pixels considered a manufacturing error
                                      so wouldnt that make this all wrong

                                      oh wait they said those are unique features and you have to be unique and think outside the box to have them or something like that.

                                        Anyone who drops and actually managed to smash an iphone, is too stupid and doesn't even deserve a mobile phone.
