And what iPhone do you have in your back pocket?

Honestly, we know they all do it - but some do it more than others.

If your competitor's product is better, you claim as many patent violations as possible instead of innovating and improving.

-The Apple mantra

Edit: whoops, IDK why I put copyright violations at first.

I'm 97% sure Apple started this whole patent-war. Slide-to-unlock and black bezels, remember?

I'm excited about the S III, and not because of some ****ty voice recognition feature. Do people even use Siri? And do people buy the 4S for that feature?

I have voice recognition on my SII, I think it's called vlingo. Works well.

I really think Samsung should suspend the agreement of letting Apple use their Arm license to make there Ax chips.

Doesn't apple own the patent for rectangular shaped tablets?

In these fast paced markets like phones patents wars only hurt you in the end. It's amazing how many companies will work with you if you ask. Not go right out an threaten to ban initial sales.

Its a phone.

You talk into it. You read things on it.

If you're concerned how it looks or what others might think about it, I believe apple make whole range of products ...lol

Sarcasm aside, I could care less how it looks, for me it sits in my pocket most of the time, and when it's in my hands, the screen is what I'm looking at.

Put down the apple Kool-Aid, you are selling yourself short if you honestly believe that Apple isn't the most egregious offender in this regard. They try to patent stuff they didn't even invent to stymie the competition Really, slide to unlock? Are you serious?

What's next, patent the touch screen. Maybe they could patent displays, or even input devices. Then the competition will really be screwed.

That's just ****ing stupid, I feel sorry for people that support that company by buying their products. What a joke.

I almost got an iPhone a few months ago, better judgment prevailed.

I think it looks alright, but the build quality definitely seems to be below that of the One X. I'm going to try out the S3 but right now I'm using a One X and loving it. I really like Sense over the TouchWiz that's on my I9100.

Sprint? HTC came in yesterday with a Sprint rep to show my group the Evo LTE. Definitely like the look of the One X better, but I do like the partial metal housing of the Evo.
