iPhone 5 is the best smartphone ever: Stuff

Typical iResponse:

Have you ever really used widgets? Is it even necessary? You can just scroll to the app and open it, can't you?

Real response - since when are widgets a defining characteristic of a smartphone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone

I'm interested to know what widgets you guys use? The only ones I use are the music controls and the larger time widget.

Gtasks
Calendar
Weather
My Data Manager
And the HTC time one ofc
mobile data toggle
auto rotate toggle

Think that's the lot, pretty neat stuff those widgets.

Interestingly I only use the calendar widget in my one home screen.

On my unlock screen I use the new HTC unlocker, as well as a few toggles, wifi, rotate etc and the lux brightness slider, all on my unlock screen using WidgetLocker of course.

Then I have a few toggles in my notification bar using Notification Toggle, things like flash/torch, wifi toggle, data, 2G/3G toggle, gps, wifi hot spot

I know, there is a lot cheaper and even better ones out now. Example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extendedcontrols or even free ones with less functionality.

This was not the case when I bought it originally 2 years ago, and seeing that I paid for it, I only see "Purchased" so have no clue what the price was anymore, thanks for reminding me

 

[abandonallhope]

How about not paying a cent and using the default stuff ?

Wow! That is resounding opposition:wtf:

P.S. I didn't vote. It's illogical to vote on a device you have not even laid eyes on.

See comment about less functionality.

Then again, its my money I can spend it how I like, hell if I want to pay R100 for a fart app I can, as I worked for it, not you

Well on a parallel thread about how bad Android is, icons seem to be one of the defining characteristics, so why not widgets?

Not necessarily - it depends on your interpretation of the 'best'. With it being an unqualified criterion, I would've voted 'no' regardless the topic of the poll.

What do you mean less functionality ?

And you are absolutely right, it is your money, but then where did I try to convince you not to buy it, or otherwise tried to prevent you from blowing your money as you like ?

 

[BeVonk!]

From the poll it seems Stuff stuffed-up again ...

You may be right, but the android fanboys on this site will oppose any iPhone good, or bad.
