I wanna buy one just to see!

Single core with 512mb... I shiver at the thought o.O

Hey, Nokia's still doing that and slapping a 7809 terapixel camera on it and they still have rabid fanboys declaring it to be better than modern stuff, so why not?

I suspect you are being sarcastic but coming from a Desire with similar specs I really would never go back.

One thing I hate about this phone is the Google maps GPS.

No seriously this thing is faster and works better than my Tomtom with turn by turn nav and also street view nav

I use Waze on my iPad, iPhone, Blackberry and S3. Awesome little GPS app and it's free.

I suggest giving google maps a try, makes Waze look terrible IMO. Hell it makes any other product look crap

Yeah but the Desire was released almost 3 years ago.

I'm dead serious by the way(apart from the amount of pixels). Nokia really did release a "flagship" phone with a single core cpu and 512MB RAM last month. And we really did have a thread where an insane fanboy told us how much more awesome it is than the Galaxy SIII.

Guys any idea where to download an "old phone" ringtone? Thanks

I got the Desire two years ago, I know cause I just upgraded my account.

I'm sure if you managed to run Windows 3.1 on it it would be amazingly fast. For Android, not so much.

Does the phone he linked run Windows Phone? So why compare it?

I didn't say anything about when you got yours, only when it was released. Although it seems I was a bit out, it was only 2 and a third years ago.

The Nokia runs Symbian, which is in no way a good thing. That's like telling me that a 486 running DOS is way better than a brand-new Core i7 PC running Windows 7 . You were making fun of that thing being released as a supposed "copy" of the SIII, I just pointed out that some people actually think that kind of hardware is not only viable competition, but somehow better. It's funny, and the only way you can't see that, is if you're a Nokia employee or something.

Are you high? You tell me the hardware is good, I tell you I had a phone with that hardware and you tell me it's an old phone even though the clone was just released....

Not sure what you on about with Nokia phones. I was referring to the linked ANDROID phone and the corresponding hardware vs the phone I have now. Who cares what Nokia releases as a flagship?

Seriously.

Seriously.

Seriously, how much more simple can I make this?

1. Someone pointed out a fake GSIII being sold. (Post 684)
2. You made a comment about how crappy the hardware is, and rightly so (Post 691)
3. I pointed out jokingly that some people (Nokia) still produce a new phone with similar hardware and the fanboys claim it's better than a GSIII (692)
4. You said you had similar specs on a Desire (693)
5. I said sure, but the Desire was released a few years ago (698)

Then it got silly. Yes, the Desire had great hardware for its time. So did the Nokia 3310. So did a ZX Spectrum. What seems to be getting lost here is : it's not that time anymore. Phone CPU's, GPU's etc. have vastly improved over the last 2 years. Releasing a brand new phone with specs that might have been good 2 years ago and an OS that might have been good 6 years ago to compete with new, high-end stuff is silly. It's made even more silly by the army of fanboys claiming that it's actually better than said new stuff.

So in short: You laugh at crappy hardware. I point out the adsurdity that some people consider that same stuff mega-awesome. Today. In 2012. Then you act all indignant and confused like I'm speaking ancient Greek. I don't know why though. Thats's all it was.

Yesterday i saw that you used waze everyday. I tried it this morning on my way to work. Nice app, but the routes it was suggesting were way off the shortest route, and even traffic wise, it was definitely choosing probably the worst route.

I did like that it had updates from other users coming in, and traffic reports from other users.
