Work is giving me a new iPhone 6

I was hoping they would give me a flagship android phone like a Samsung Galaxy S6+ edge but GUESS WHAT I am getting an iPhone 6 and I can't say no :(   I have to live with it for at least a year.

Five and a half years since I last posted

It's been a while indeed. No I haven't been  the other camp the iphone's :)

I'm not saying I was busy as most do. We all lead busy lives and that's no excuse.

The truth I was very unhappy with the slow Android updates on the phones and the slow phone makers taking the platform seriously. 

I feel the platform has more than matured and we now have flagship phones produced by the major companies.

Would you switch to the new iPhone this year

The new iphoneOS4 or 4G what ever the name will be has already been leaked and looks less curvy but interesting nonetheless.

Having owned the original iphone (non 3G) version I was quite happy with it. At least for the first couple of months and before I found out it's limitations such as limited bluetooth profile, no flash, no multi tasking and one that bothered me a lot was the low ringer volume.  Some of these issues were resolved in the the 3G and 3GS versions but the lack of multi-tasking and flash support still kept me away and I enjoyed my Samsung i7500 as a replacement smart phone in the meantime.   Now that Samsung has let us down with no release in sight for a new Rom 2.x updates I am having a second look and evaluating my options for either iPhone OS4 or the new 1Ghz Android devices.

Samsung 1.6 ROM sources

For those who just want the sources, may be tweak your own rom version

or from Samsung's portal

Samsung released Donut Kernel and System resources

Now Drakaz is on it.  He was stuck on his Eclair 2.1 ROM development and admitted he can't proceed with out the sources.  Now I believe Drakaz and Mustymod will race against time to release a solid 2.1 ROM Beta with working bluetooth, proximity sensor, camera and 3D.

I watched through this video clip and thought I'd share it with you.

Still awaiting Eclair 2.1 on my I7500 Samsung

Taking for ever.  May be I will dive into a musty's or Drakaz's cooked firmwares to taste Eclair.
